By Leopold
Kudrna, with Biographical Essays by Digby Smith.
Introduction
During the 24 years of the
Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1 January 1792 – 31
December 1815) more than one thousand people held general officer
rank within the Austrian army.
Each
of these 1152 generals is recorded in this database.
Thus for the first time researchers
have a biographical database at their disposal which provides
a complete survey of the Austrian generals of this period.
This biographical dictionary
is designed to provide researchers a beginning point for further
studies concerning the life and career of the military elite
of the Habsburg empire at this time. The basic data are provided
by Leopold Kudrna, the
biographical essays are written by Digby
Smith. As more information comes available, we will update
the entries.
All of the biographies are
formatted the same. An explaination of the different sections
in each can be found in: Key
to the Biographies.
Additionally, to keep the files
down to reasonable size we used numerous abbrevations. An explaination
of each can be found in: Abbrevations
and Symbols.
Our research is based on more
than 100 different sources. It would be impractical to list a
full citation for each biography, so we used an abbrevation citation.
Complete citations for all our sources can be found in our Bibliography.
A complete listing of the generals
and links to the individual biographies can be found in the Personal
Indices:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I/J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y/Z
If you have any additional

to our data. Credit will be provided to all contributors.
