Flags

@Palastwache Just created this page, but I am unsure what flags to use for the Bourbon commanders. It is not clear to me that Bavarian troops were present here, but the commanders were from Bavaria. You know more than me about Germany in this period so what would you advice me to do? DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 16:00, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David, I don't know the answer. But if you inquire about this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history, there might be editors there who can assist you. — Maile (talk) 19:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 20:00, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DavidDijkgraaf, the following sources shed light on Maximilian's action and the participation of Bavarian troops: Darstellungen aus der bayerischen Kriegs- und Heeresgeschichte (1892) lists 3 Bavarian guard squadrons, Geschichte des k. b. 1. Chevaulegers-Regiments (1882) tells the history of Arco's regiment and mentions a participation in the battle, Junkelmann: Kurfürst Max Emanuel von Bayern als Feldherr (2000) mentions an overall strenght of 14 bataillons and 18 squadrons under Maximilian's command.

Pages 68 to 71 of the "Darstellungen aus der bayerischen Kriegs- und Heeresgeschichte" name the positions of the Bavarian troops within the French Rhine army. Palastwache (talk) 21:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
