Armée d'Allemagne (1797)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Armée d'Allemagne (Army of Germany) was one of the French Revolutionary armies, formed by a decree of the French Directory dated 29 September 1797 (8 vendémiaire Year VI) by merging the armée de Sambre-et-Meuse and the armée de Rhin-et-Moselle and commanded from the decree until 6 October by général Saint-Cyr under général Hoche. The decree was enacted between between 7 and 20 October 1797, and from 7 October until 13 December the unit was under the command of général Augereau and deployed with the armée du Nord. Another decree of 9 December (19 frimaire year VI) that year, executed from 14 to 16 December, re-split the Armee d'Allemagne into the armée de Mayence and armée du Rhin.
