Uniforms & Organisation

I have started translating the German-language magazine Depesche, which was published from the mid eighties to early nineties, into English. The translated articles are posted on the Napoleon Series website. The links below lead to the individual articles. Note that these articles are posted on the Napoleon Series website.

By the way, Depesche magazine was a forerunner of the Napoleon Online website, which has the original issues in PDF format.
