Translation[edit]

The meaning is not the same as in the German version! --House1630 (talk) 16:16, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--Can you expand on your critique? What, specifically, is not translated correctly?

Cuirasses in Frederick the Great's time--polished steel or silver-plated?[edit]

The article mentions Trenck's memoirs and a comment that the cuirasses were expensive because they were silver-plated. From other sources such as Duffy ("The Army of Frederick the Great"), Bleckwenn and Knötel, I had thought that they were simply polished steel (the cuirasses of the other regiments were steel coated with black enamel). Is that correct that they were silver-plated?

The officers' full kit was indeed expensive, even if the cuirass was only steel, but this was true of Frederick's Garde infantry regiment, and true for most officers throughout the army, if less expensive than for officers of the Gardes du Corps and IR 15.
