Niels Kjeldsen 1840-64

 There is not much in English about this incident. Found this which is good. A cavalry action between a patrol of Dragoons and Prussian Hussars that resulted in the death of Niels Kjeldsen.

Bismarck's First War book

 Saw this on the below mentioned group

This book chronicles the final conflict over the now almost forgotten "Schleswig-Holstein Question", once a pivotal issue for the great powers of Europe. The campaign of Schleswig and Jutland was also the first of Otto von Bismarck's Wars of German Unification, which together created a united German Empire under Prussian leadership.

The detailed story of this, the last of the "Cabinet Wars", is told here for the first time in English, compiled from numerous published and unpublished sources, including many contemporary and first hand accounts, as well as official reports. This is an invaluable resource for any student of the mid 19th Century.

Key topics include: the historical background to the conflict, the political crisis of 1863, the intervention of the "German Parliament" and the build-up to war Full descriptions are provided of all military and naval forces involved.

The book includes comprehensive orders of battle for the various stages of the war, informative maps, many adapted from early sources, numerous illustrations and photograph

Danish 1864

 North Star have been promoting their range of 1864 Danish in 28mm as being something that will be a good opponent for the Perry Prussians. Good idea. Use the label Denmark to see previous posts

Eagle of Empires miniatures announce new range

This year we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the reunification of south Denmark with the rest of our little kingdom - South Denmark is part of what originally was Schleswig-Holstein - a region that changed hands many times in history. Introducing the next range within the Eagles of Empire miniatures assortment - the First Schleswig War (1848-50) fought between Denmark and a German alliance of Schleswig-Holstein and periodically the kingdom of Prussia. A bitterly fought war with epic battles and tales of heroic sacrifice on both sides. The war was fought over the allegiance of the two north-German regions, and would finally end in a Danish victory - a theoretical victory since it solved nothing for the German-speaking majority in Holstein and South-Schleswig, thus the war would again break out in 1864, this time resulting in a monumental Danish defeat. Later after the equally crushing defeat of the German Empire after WWI time was finally right for a peaceful solution with the local population in focus. After a public vote, the part of Schleswig we now know as South Denmark was returned home to the Crown. This historical miniatures collection will commemorate the history of both sides, and hopefully cast some light on how modern Europe was shaped! Happy painting out there🙂 #Schleswig-Holstein
 

Danish-Prussian war of 1864

Hi Guys! I am with a Danish reenactment group doing the Danish-Prussian war of 1864, which was the start of the three wars being fought from 64-71. We are working on getting some tacticals and campaigning weekends going in the new year. So if anybody is interested we're always looking for Prussian/ Austrian enemies to fight, or allies to join ;)
We also participate in the great Battle of Alsen the last weekend of June, every year.
