    Hello everyone,

    At the outbreak of the Franco-Pussian War the Brunswick contingent had a total strenght of 2,465 men.

    Ok and his infantry and artillery were incorporated into the 20 th Infantry Division (X Army Corps) while his Hussar Regiment served with the 13th Cavalry Brigade (5th Cavalry Division) …

    But in the divisions of the northern Germany confederation, all the big units have the same theoretical numbers, so my question is:

    where did the brunswickers go to find the numbers they needed to reach the numbers of the other units of the northern Germany confederation, because at the outbreak of the Franco-Pussian war, the Brunswick had a total force of 2,465 men, this proves that the brunswickers were not yet organized like the other contingents of the north of Germany confederation.

    I know it’s an earlier conflict, but this might give you some useful background:-

    Oh yeah, super cool, do you own it ?

    If so, please you can tell me what they are saying about the brunswickers ?

    Although in 1870 it must be very different from 1866.
