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
