Talk:Friedrich Adolf Riedesel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why is General Riedesel in a category for mercenaries? Mingusboodle 03:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- I removed Hessian Mercenaries category. Although Riedesel was from Hesse, he was a professional soldier, not a mercenary. When he was sent to the American Revolution, he was a Braunschweig officer, not a Hessian officer.Mingusboodle 15:37, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
