Summary

[edit]
Description
English: French and German allies encampments on the Hessian theatre of war during the second half of 1760 ("AA" = Armées des alliés; "RDB" = Réserve de Broglie; ADC = Armée de Contandes). Coloured lines show the limits of the territories of Hesse-Darmstadt, Hesse-Cassel, Nassau-Weilberg, Nassau-Braunfels, etc. On the left, a French camp extends all the way to the border of the Free Imperial City of Weztlar, a neutral. With more than 350 German states that controlled their own foreign policy, war in the Holy German Empire could also be a diplomatic headache. Cropped from a military folding map prepared for Broglie, commander of French troops in Hesse.
Français : Camps des armées françaises et alliées en Hesse durant la seconde moitié de 1760. Les lignes colorées délimitent les territoires respectifs des états de Hesse-Damstadt, Hesse-Cassel, Nassau-Weilberg, Nassau-Braunfels etc. À gauche, un camp français s'étend jusqu'aux frontières de la Ville Impériale de Weitzlar, un non-belligérent. Avec plus de 350 états allemands menant leur propre politique étrangère, faire la guerre dans le Saint-Empire pouvait aussi être un casse-tête diplomatique. Extrait d'une carte du théâtre de guerre en Hesse publiée pour Broglie, commandant des troupes françaises en Hesse.
