“…These o¢ cial numbers, therefore, re ‡ect an upper bound of the size of Austrian-Hungarian forces. We identi…ed estimates of Austrian-Hungarian forces for 1809 and 1813 in Rothenberg (1973). The latter number indicates the high point of Austrian-Hungarian mobilization during the Napoleonic Wars and should also be treated as an o¢ cial, possibly in ‡ated estimate.…”

“…147 With Saxony -counting 20,000 troops -as its sole ally, the Hohenzollern monarchy went to war in 1806 with an army of 245,000 men, half of them foreign mercenaries, and a field army of only 140,000, once Anton Wilhelm von L'Estocq's defensive contingent in East Prussia and garrison and depot troops were deducted. 148 The Napoleonic army, re-formed in the years of relative peace between 1801 and 1803, consisted of 265 infantry battalions, 322 cavalry squadrons, and 202 batteries of artillery, or about 300,000 men, supplemented by 63,000 troops from the states of the Rheinbund. 149 The idea that Prussia could take me on single-handed is too absurd to merit discussion … She will go on acting as she has acted -arming today, disarming tomorrow, standing by, sword in hand, while the battle is fought, and then making terms with the victor.…”

“…160 Prussia's 270,000-280,000 mobilized troops in 1813 were added to those of Russia, Austria, and other allies to create a combined force of about 800,000 or 570,000 in the field, compared with 600,000 in the French-led 'army of the nations', of whom 410,000 could be used in battle. 161 Not only did such levies give the Coalition an overall numerical advantage for the first time since 1792, they also altered the individual armies and changed soldiers' experiences of warfare, with more than one in four adult males in Prussia sent into the field in 1813 alone.…”
