Not only that!

Black uniforms were - at the latest after the actions of the Schill'schen Hussars - almost a "fashion" with voluntary associations like the Braunschweig, the Lützowern, the Bremen cavalry of the "Hanseatic Legion" and others - and also with the Russian Opolschenije militias!

One looked a little at the other.

So the Prussian Landwehr took over the peaked cap with the cross symbol from the Russian Opolschenije ...




Cheers
