🔥 Prussian Landwehr Recruit – The Courage of Ordinary Men! 🔥

Introducing the figurine of a recruit from the Prussian Landwehr during the Napoleonic Wars—a unit formed from ordinary citizens to defend their homeland against Napoleon. The Landwehr became a symbol of national determination and played a key role in the Wars of Liberation after 1813.

History and Deployment:

• The Landwehr was established in 1813 as part of the Prussian reform army after the disaster at Jena and Auerstedt (1806).
• Recruits came from rural areas and towns—often with no prior military experience.
• These units fought in battles against Napoleon, especially during the campaigns of 1813–1815, including Leipzig and Waterloo.

Interesting Facts:

• Training was simplified and focused on basic discipline and marksmanship—the Landwehr was meant to supplement the regular army, not replace it.
• Uniforms were modest, often improvised—blue coats, simple caps, and minimal equipment.
• The Landwehr became a symbol of Prussian patriotism—service was the duty of every able-bodied man.
