Geschichte des Magdeburgischen Husaren-Regiments Nr. 10 is a German regimental history that documents the formation, development, and service record of the Prussian cavalry unit known as the Magdeburg Hussar Regiment No. 10.
The work follows the tradition of 19th-century military historiography in the Kingdom of Prussia, focusing on the regiment’s organizational history, campaigns, and notable officers. It typically covers participation in major conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars, including campaigns against Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as later 19th-century military developments.
A central feature of the book is its detailed treatment of regimental life. It describes recruitment, training, uniforms, garrison service, and the traditions that shaped the identity of the Hussars. Like many Prussian regimental histories, it places strong emphasis on discipline, loyalty to the monarchy, and the esprit de corps of the unit.
The narrative usually combines official military records with anecdotal material drawn from officers’ memoirs and regimental archives. This makes it valuable both as a source of factual military history and as a reflection of how Prussian officers in the 19th century understood their own military heritage.
For historians, Geschichte des Magdeburgischen Husaren-Regiments Nr. 10 is especially useful for studying cavalry operations, organizational changes in the Prussian army, and the social composition of officer corps in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also contributes to understanding the development of German military tradition leading up to the unification period.
