Summary of Campaign in North Germany

Battles fought in Northern Germany

At end of each campaign phase I do a summary of the whole 1813 campaign in that area.   This is so that anyone visiting the Campaign Diary blog can go straight to the summary page which is always up to date.

This summary has a map of the campaign area, and shows all battles fought to date.   Each battle fought is indicated by a coloured star.   In this area blue indicates a French win, and grey a Prussian one.   This simple map gives a clear picture of what has happened since the start of the campaign.

This is followed by a short introduction to the campaign, and an even shorter description of each campaign phase fought so far

Finally there is a list showing how to find the different sections of the campaign

01 - introduction to the 1813 campaign

02 - the five campaign areas

10 - introduction to the campaign in North Germany

11 – French order of battle in North Germany

12 – Prussian order of battle in North Germany

13 - daily diary for the campaign in North Germany

14 - battle reports of all battles fought in North Germany

These numbers refer to the Labels on the right side of the blog.

By using this list it is possible to access many hundreds of blogs.  

There are a number of blogs covering different parts of the campaign.  The current one covers the period from the Armistice on 12 April to 26 September 1813.   In this blog alone there are already 549 blogs. 

With such a mass of blogs it would be very easy to lose track of the whole thing, and only be able to read the last few blog entries.   But with this index it is possible to find specific important blogs.

For example by clicking on Label 01 you will find the introduction to the whole 1813 campaign.  

Label 02 contains details of the five campaign areas.

Label 14 will take you to the last battle report of the campaign in North Germany.  But by clicking at the bottom of the page you can go to the previous battle, and so on until you reach the first battle of the campaign.

I doubt if anyone actually carries out this type of research.   Certainly I have not done so.  But I get a lot of satisfaction knowing that if anyone wanted to do so they could with relative ease.
