Historical description of the Austrian Landwehr figures

The Landwehr corps in the Austrian army was formed as a response to the rapidly changing military situation in Europe at the end of the 18th century. Landwehr units consisted of local recruits whose duty was to defend the territory and support the regular armed forces during battles such as Wagram (1809) or Leipzig (1813). They stood out for their simpler uniforms and distinctive headgear – details that are excellently recreated in the HaT 8233 miniatures.
