"Die Befreiung, 1813–1815: Urkunden, Berichte, Briefe" by Tim Kein is a documentary source collection on the Wars of Liberation (1813–1815), the coalition campaigns that ended Napoleonic domination in Central Europe.
The work compiles primary materials such as official documents, military reports, and correspondence, covering the period from the uprising against Napoleon in 1813 through the campaigns of 1814 in France and the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
A central focus is the multinational coalition effort, including Prussian, Austrian, Russian, and various German contingents drawn from states such as the Electorate of Hesse, Saxony, and others that shifted allegiance during the collapse of the Napoleonic system.
The volume presents first-hand accounts of military operations, including orders, letters from commanders, and official dispatches, offering insight into planning, battlefield conditions, and the coordination of allied forces.
