Hello all,
Thank you for admission to you community and please accept my apology for posting in English as I have no German
I am presently researching for a fictional novel that is set in Napoleonic Prussia and I am looking for some details on the subjects mentioned above.
Is anyone able to help with that?
I am wanting to write of the experiences of a young soldier joining the Prussian Fusiliers just prior to Jena so fleshing out the details of things like:
what sort of induction process was followed?
how the men were trained?
did the men live in a barracks?
Who trained them?
Where the NCO's aggressive and abusive?
What were they trained in?
What were the commands on the battlefield?
Was the training in their weapons detailed, like how to strip and assemble and principles of marksmanship or was it more about how to load and that was about it?
Did they get leave at the end of their training?
How much were they paid?
Anything you have on this or things I haven't thought of would be much appreciated.
