    THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN SOUFFLENHEIM By Robert Wideen : 2018 Soufflenheim Genealogy Research and History www.soufflenheimgenealogy.com Jews are first mentioned in Alsace in the 12th century. There were 522 families in 1689 and 3,910 families in 1784, including four families totaling 19 people in Soufflenheim. By 1790, the Jewish population in Alsace had grown to approximately 22,500, about 3% of the population. They maintained their own customs, spoke Yiddish, and followed Talmudic laws enforced by their Rabbis. There was a Jewish presence in Soufflenheim since the 15th century, and probably earlier. By the late 1700’s there was a Jewish street in the village, a Jewish lane on the outskirts, a district known as Juden Weeg, and a Jewish path in the Judenweg area of the Haguenau Forest leading to the Jewish Forest Road. Their influence on the local dialect is documented in Yiddish in the Speech of Soufflenheim. Jewish Communities of Alsace, Including those of the Middle Ages.

  • The Use of the Saber in the Army of Napoleon
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Scholarly Volume, Articles 103 DOI 10.1515/apd-2016-0004 The use of the saber in the army of Napoleon Bert Gevaert Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) Hallebardiers / Sint Michielsgilde Brugge (Belgium) [email protected] Abstract – Though Napoleonic warfare is usually associated with guns and cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen. In contrast to gunshot wounds, wounds caused by the saber could be treated quite easily and caused fewer casualties. In 18th and 19th century France, not only manuals about the use of foil and epee were published, but also some important works on the military saber: de Saint Martin, Alexandre Muller… The saber was not only used in individual fights against the enemy, but also as a duelling weapon in the French army. Keywords – saber; Napoleonic warfare; Napoleon; duelling; Material culture; Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA); History “The sword is the weapon in which you should have most confidence, because it rarely fails you by breaking in your hands. Its blows are the more certain, accordingly as you direct them coolly; and hold it properly.” Antoine Fortuné de Brack, Light Cavalry Exercises, 18761 I. INTRODUCTION Though Napoleon (1769-1821) started his own military career as an artillery officer and achieved several victories by clever use of cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the Napoleonic battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen.

  • La Batalla De Eylau, Inscrita En El Contexto De Las Guerras Napoleónicas, Comienza En La Madrugada Del 8 De Febrero De 1807
    La batalla de Eylau, inscrita en el contexto de las guerras napoleónicas, comienza en la madrugada del 8 de febrero de 1807. Napoleón I, que no consigue tomar por sorpresa a los rusos —que intentan como parte de la cuarta coalición junto con Prusia, Inglaterra y Suecia frenar la hegemonía de Francia sobre Europa—, decide enfrentarse a ellos en un combate frontal en la planicie de Eylau antes de que reciban refuerzos del destacamento prusiano del general Anton Wilhelm von Lestocq. Los dos bandos intentan tomar al enemigo por la retaguardia en unas condiciones climáticas muy difíciles marcadas por la nieve y un viento glacial. La balanza no se inclina por ninguno de los bandos durante todo el día pero, al caer la noche, llegan refuerzos franceses y el general alemán Levin August von Bennigsen decide abandonar el terreno. En ambos lados las pérdidas son extremadamente importantes, y los franceses no obtienen ninguna ventaja estratégica de esta batalla. Atrévete a conocer en menos de una hora las claves de la batalla de Eylau, la más sangrienta de las guerras napoleónicas: sumérgete en su contexto, descubre a sus personajes clave, como Napoleón Bonaparte o el general Von Lestocq, y analiza con nosotros todos los detalles del combate, desde sus preparativos hasta su desarrollo, sin olvidarnos de sus repercusiones. Te ofrecemos las claves para: descubrir el contexto político y social de la Francia napoleónica, su influencia sobre el continente europeo y las guerras napoleónicas; profundizar en la vida de los principales actores que se dan cita en la batalla de Eylau y descubrir sus motivaciones; analizar las maniobras estratégicas llevadas a cabo tanto por el bando francés como por la cuarta alianza durante la batalla de Eylau; comprender las repercusiones de este estremecedor enfrentamiento; etc.

    H-France Review Volume/Tome 21 (2021) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 21 (August 2021), No. 152 Patrick Lagoueyte, Les coups d’État, une histoire française. Paris: CNRS Éditions, 2021. 230 pp. Notes and bibliography. €24.00. (pb). ISBN 9782271115256. Review by Philip Nord, Princeton University. The French Revolution ended up dethroning and guillotining a king. Yet, it was one thing to do away with a monarch and another to devise an alternate means of organizing executive authority. For that purpose, there were constitutions, written ones, which identified the various branches of government and distributed power among them. And so, the era of “L’État, c’est moi” drew to a close. The state was no longer a unitary entity but a ramified one, and the professionalization of military affairs over the course of the Revolution added one more layer of complexity. In the Ancien Regime, the army formed and unformed, as aristocrats, in answer to the king’s summons, mustered into service and mustered out again. Now, it was a standing affair and soldiering no longer the apanage of the titled, but a career with an ethos all its own, distinct from that of civilian life.[1] This new order proved a fraught and volatile one. The people, itself a new actor on the scene, might intervene to bend the state to its will. One organ of government might tread upon the authority of another, the executive maneuvering to subdue the legislative branch or vice versa. And, of course, the military might always step in to knock heads and take matters into its own hands.

    In the Name of Glory 2006 FOREWORD By Stuart Asquith Military Writer and Historian In the Name of Glory started life as a simple system that would enable large demonstration war games to be played relatively quickly. Over a period of time these simple rules have evolved into the gaming system you see here. I first saw these rules being used to conduct a 6 mm war game at the Napoleonic Fair in London in 1998. I was impressed by the way that such a large game, played with thousands of figures, flowed with ease and the very positive reception the game received, both from war gamers and members of the public. Due to the interest shown by other war gamers, their designer David Marks decided to finance the publication of his rules. The high standard of presentation and the quality of the rules themselves impressed me. They were well laid out, easy to follow and managed to retain my interest - always a bonus. I found David's rules surprisingly easy to master and the straightforward playing system creates a good historical representation of Napoleonic warfare. The ongoing morale system, and the command and control system, together with the rule’s many subtleties surely capture the flavour, excitement and unpredictability of battle. The rules contain a good deal of very useful information and the precalculated tables, used to resolve firing and melee save time by eliminating the need to trawl through lists of factors. Over the years, I have used many sets of rules, but it has been a long time since a set of rules such as In the Name of Glory has resulted in so many enjoyable and interesting games.

  • Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry, the Cuirassier and Carabinier: Their Arms, Armor, and Tactics
    Napoleon's Heavy Cavalry, the Cuirassier and Carabinier: Their Arms, Armor, and Tactics Ricky E. Parrish Napoleon Bonaparte came to power in France after his coup of 18 Rmmaire year WIT (9 November 1799). Guided by his organizational genius, each branch of the French army- infantry, cavalry, and artillery-underwent a reorganization. Napoleon had definite ideas as to the role of each of these services, and he wanted to mold them into the most efficient army in Europe. According to Napoleon, there were four types of cavalry: scouts, light cavalry, dragoons, and Cuirus- siers (heavy cavalry).' On 17 September 1802, Napoleon ordered the heavy cavalry within the army to be reduced to twenty regiments: two Carabiniers and eighteen cuirassier^.^ (The Carabi- niers were elite heavy cavalry units), Originally, only six of these units were to be issued the cuirass; however, by the first problem was the weight of the weapon. The flat, end of 1803 twelve regiments of armored heavy cavalry unfullered blade was very heavy, and the troopers com- existed within the French army.

The three side bars did not extend regiments were armored after taking heavy casualties during into the pommel, which was a cause of weakness in the hilt. the 1809 campaign.3 Therefore, there were a total of sixteen The lack of a brass ferrule at the base of the grip gave the armored cavalry regiments in the French army at the height of weapon a tendency to split.

  • Napoleon Bonaparte Očima Francouzských Řadových Vojáků a Důstojníků
    TECHNICKÁ UNIVERZITA V LIBERCI Fakulta přírodovědně-humanitní a pedagogická NAPOLEON BONAPARTE OČIMA FRANCOUZSKÝCH ŘADOVÝCH VOJÁKŮ A DŮSTOJNÍKŮ DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE Liberec 2014 Bc. Filip TRDLA Poděkování Děkuji PhDr. Pavlu Smržovi za jeho pomoc při psaní této diplomové práce. Především za jeho rady, objektivní kritiku a věcné připomínky. Poděkování patří také všem, kteří mě během celého studia podporovali. Anotace Diplomová práce se na základě pramenů osobní povahy a sekundární literatury snaží rekonstruovat vztah řadových francouzských vojáků a důstojníků k Napoleonovi Bonapartovi a obecně zmapovat pohled vojáků na jednoho z nejvýznamnějších vojevůdců a politiků (nejen) 18.–19. století. Cílem práce je též analýza příčin glorifikace Napoleonovy osobnosti a snaha vysvětlit důvody vzniku Napoleonova "kultu neporazitelného génia". Tento vztah bude analyzován z hlediska časového, kdy bude srovnáván pohled na historicky prvního francouzského císaře v období raných úspěchů s vnímáním jeho osoby v době největších úspěchů, ale i pádů. Druhým hlediskem bude určování a analýza vztahů k Napoleonovi z pohledu osob různé vojenské hodnosti včetně maršálů napoleonské Francie. V práci jsou použity metody komparace a analýzy. Klíčová slova 18. století 19. století historie Francie maršálové Francie Napoleon Bonaparte napoleonské války paměti vojáků propaganda První císařství Alexander Louis Berthier Jean Lannes Marcellin de Marbot Paul Charles Thiébault Marengo Slavkov Annotation Diploma thesis based on a personal character of sources and secondary literature attempts to reconstruct a relationship of ordinary French soldiers and officers to Napoleon Bonaparte and generally to map a view of the soldiers on one of the greatest generals and politicians (not only) 18th to 19th century. The aim of this work is an analysis of the causes of the glorification of Napoleon's personality and attempts to explain the reasons for the emergence of Napoleon's "cult of undefeated genius".

  • Teacher, Traitor, Marshal Ney?
    Newsletter of the Mecklenburg Historical Association Docents Promoting Local History through Education and Research http://www.meckdec.org November, December 2018 Volume 24, Number 5 Look Inside This Issue − Teacher, Traitor, Marshal Ney? − Historic Mapping Congress Annual Meeting – Charlotte 250 th − Revolutionary War Reenactment at Camden, SC − A Christmas “Candle Tea” at the Little Church on the Lane, − SAR Rev War Memorial Dedication at Centre Church − Now is the Time to Renew your MHA Membership − Latta Welcomes New Executive Director Teacher, Traitor, Marshal Ney? One of the most enigmatic characters to set foot in North Carolina was a country schoolteacher named Peter Stewart Ney. Or was he really Michel Ney, Napoleon’s Marshal of France? Michel Ney was born in 1769 on the border between France and Germany. His father’s name was Peter and his mother’s maiden name was Stewart. As a young man he enlisted in Napoleon’s army. Napoleon quickly recognized Ney’s military brilliance, and within a dozen years he achieved the rank of Marshal, the highest in the army. He thrived on the dangers and glories of war, fighting alongside Napoleon, suffering many wounds, and enduring the disastrous attempt to take Russia in 1812. Napoleon dubbed him “Bravest of the Brave!” Yet after Waterloo, Ney was blamed for the loss, tried for treason, and in 1815 was executed by firing squad. Or was he? The place of execution was changed at the last moment. The firing squad consisted of Ney’s own men. It was claimed that an animal bladder filled with red dye was found where the body fell.
