By Peter Bunde, Markus Gärtner and Markus Stein

The Kingdom of Bavaria was under the German Empire during the Napoleonic period, the Allied states had the largest contingent with 30,000 soldiers, who, due to this size, fought decisive battles in the campaigns of 1809 and 1812. With this book, the authors offer a comprehensive work on the organization of the army and individual units, their uniforms, the rules for the formation and deployment of units in the field, and the internal structure of the army. These descriptions are supplemented by a depiction of the Bavarian military conflicts in the campaigns of 1806/07 against Prussia and Russia, in 1809 against Austria, in 1812 against Russia, and in 1813 against Prussia and Russia.
