Osprey Men-at-Arms 42 : The King's German Legion

The King's German Legion was born in sorrow, their tragedy being the occupation of their homeland, the electorate of Hanover, by a 13,000-strong French force under General Mortier in 1803. This book examines how the Hanoverians exacted their revenge. Text by Otto von Pivka, Colour Plates by Michael Roffe.
