The book Imperial Sunset by Delderfield is a good one.

| Post subject: | Leipzig 1813 - Orders of Battle (OOB) |
Hello fellow Scholars, I am in the process of doing an extensive study of the Battle of the Nations (Leipzig), from Oct 16-19, 1813, and was interested in collecting as many OOB sources as possible. I am particularly interested in units' STRENGTHS and MORALE attributes (e.g. Young Guard are typically rated as "elite" formations when in fact they were simply the best of the conscripts for that year and probably were no better than "veterans") I currently have several common & well known reference sources, such as: Nafziger's "Napoleon at Leipzig" Bowden's "Napoleon's Grande Armee of 1813" Digby Smith's "1813 Leipzig" Petre's "Napoleon's Last Campaign in Germany, 1813" Osprey's Campaign #25 "Leipzig 1813" Per-Eric Jansson's "Leipzig" Anschluss' "Leipzig 1813" Are there any other obvious sources that I am missing? Are there any useful websites that have "mnore detailed", "newer", "better", or "more accurate" OOB data for this decisive battle? What is the conventional wisdom on all these sources... are any thought to be more credible than others? I always respected Nafziger's research. I note that Nafziger has a website called "Nafziger's Collection", which includes separate Allied (20 pages) and French (18 pages) OOB's. Are these more detailed (in terms of #'s) than what is in his book "Napoleon at Leipzig"? I really do appreciate any references, data, and information that you provide... thanks so much! Feel free to respond to this thread or directly to my home email of tcavallin1@cogeco.ca Lt Tim Cavallin, AdR |
