Scope and content

History of the Inventor: See Infantry Brigades (PH 10 I) Inventory description: The infantry was the main weapon of the army. It included the foot soldiers. The smallest independent tactical unit of the infantry was the battalion, which usually consisted of four companies of three trains each. As a rule, three battalions formed a regiment, two regiments a brigade. The battalions of hunters and marksmen occupied a special position within the infantry. Characterisation of content: The present tradition consists primarily of war diaries (often only parts or copies) that have been preserved by chance, individual battle reports, troop orders, location maps or sketches. In addition, additional copies of copies of war diaries of German troops kept in the Washington National Archives were added to the holdings. In 1994 a few documents of individual infantry regiments were taken from the military archives of the GDR. State of development: Findbuch Vorarchivische Ordnung: The files of the Prussian foot troops were largely destroyed in the fire at the Potsdam Army Archives in 1945. Only a few fragments of files have been handed down and archived. In 1994, some fragments of files from the military archives of the former GDR were added to the remaining files kept in the Freiburg Military Archives. The preserved files of the former Bavarian, Württemberg, Saxon and Baden troops can be found in the responsible main state archives in Munich, Stuttgart and Dresden as well as in the General State Archives in Karlsruhe.
