Oberstleutenant Fritsch takes command of the Frankfurt Battalion in 1811 while on duty in the Iberian Peninsula. Along the way they drill to reinforce their company organization along French lines. This is the last battalion of the German Division painted by Dick Tennant. I will be adding the Guard de Paris Battalion which was initially brigaded with the Frankfurters, as well as a Battalion from Hesse-Darmstadt. Once those are complete the German division will be finished!
