Description

The army of Frederick the Great of Prussia is generally known as an efficient fighting machine based on brutal and strict drill procedures that led to broken but fearless soldiers as well as glorious battle victories. Today, this stereotype of Prussian Army punishments is still part of our language, when we call situations of public exposure or the fear of unjust public criticism running the gauntlet. Prussian Army Soldiers and the Seven Years Warfundamentally challenges this interpretation. This book analyses the mentalities of the men who established Prussias great power status. It draws on a vast array of primary sources, especially rare letters by the soldiers to their families written on the battlefield. The authors show that the soldiers were feeling individuals like loving husbands, vulnerable little brothers, deeply religious preachers and sometimes even adventurers. All these individuals were united by one idea, which made them fight efficiently: honour. The different elements of the Prussian soldiers concept of honour are analysed here. Nevertheless, the soldiers were under extreme pressure during their training, on the march and in battle. They talked astonishingly frankly to their families about fear, the loss of friends and the presence of death surrounding them day by day. Some of the most impressive sources for this book were written by the regimental chaplain Küster, who could probably be called the first modern military psychologist. For the first time, the book presents an English translation of 12 letters of common Prussian soldiers from the Seven Years War.
