THE PARTICIPATION, RECRUITS AND LOSSES OF THE HUNGARIAN TROOPS IN THE WAR OF THE FIRST COALITION, 1792–1797
Summary
The number of Hungarian soldiers participating and giving their lives during the wars between 1792 and 1815 are two of the unclarified questions of Hungarian history-writing. There are available sources for the study of this topic because the administration of the Imperial-Royal Army had a very thorough, extensive and punctual register on the numbers of the army, on their changes, on the losses and on the conscripts. However, from the sixty-nine months under exploration, there are only fifty-one months from when data have survived from the different levels of the central administration.
When looking at the War of the First Coalition, there are eleven infantry-, eight Hussar-, seventeen border infantry- and one border Hussar regiments, plus three Freikorps which can be regarded Hungarian. The border infantry took part in the fight in the organisation of forty-six battalions.
The paper examines the numbers of the troops through static data connected to fixed dates and through the changes of data. The total size of the army at the beginning of the war was 230,000, and almost forty percent, 89,000 men can be considered Hungarian. The percentage decreased in the course of the war, but by the end of the war it increased to forty-five percent, while the total size of the army rose above 313,000, and the number of the Hungarian men reached 142,000. The main deployment area of the army during the whole course of the war lied in the northern theatre of war, first in the Netherlands and later in the Rhine region. The absolute number of the Hungarian units was the highest here, but their proportion was for the whole time the lowest in the main theatre of war. The Hungarian territories gave at least 115,000 recruits during the war, and at least 80,000 of them were given by the territories of the orders. When looking at the proportions, however, it is still the German Empire that put greater effort into the operations of the army. With the help of the sources the total losses of the Imperial-Royal Army can be estimated at 259,000. The number includes the losses of the territories of the Hungarian Orders with 52,000 men and of the Border Lands with 16,000 men. On the other hand, the German provinces lost 191,000 men.
The conclusion of the paper states that, based on the strength and the population, the Countries of the Holy Hungarian Crown contributed to the military efforts of the empire in a smaller proportion than the rest of the empire which was uniformly called German. The reason behind this fact lies in the politics of the Hungarian Orders which successfully defended the Hungarian resources, mainly by hindering the introduction of the conscription system and by maintaining its political control over Hungary.

A badeni dandár naplója az 1809. évi magyar szakirodalomban kevés adattal rendelkezünk az 1809. évi háborúban Magyarországon harcoló francia és velük szövetséges német csapatok történetéről, pedig a Badeni Nagyhercegség kontingense fontos szerepet játszott a hadjáratban. A dandár katonái a győri csatát megelőző felvonulás során a hadsereg elővédjében szolgáltak, több harcérintkezésben és ütközetben vettek részt, majd egy különös, polgári személyeket érintő eset is megtörtént velük. Ezt követően Győr ostromában játszottak fontos szerepet.
A badeni dandár iratanyagának lelőhelye a karlsruhei levéltárban (Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe) található, a 48-as számú „Haus- und Staatsarchiv: III. Staatssachen” nevet viselő állag. Az iratanyag darab-szinten rendezett, kiváló 19. századi segédlet segítségével kutatható. Az állagban az egyes iratokat alapvetően a provenienciaelv alapján rendezték ügyiratokba. Az ügyiratokat az állagon belül tematikus csoportokba sorolták, de a folyószámozás a teljes állagra nézve folyamatos.
A közölt forrás a teljes dandárnapló részletét képezi. A napló fedőlapján a következő cím áll: „Journal vom Grossherzoglich Badischen Contingents Corps in der Campagne gegen Oesterreich a[nn]o 1809. unter Commando des GeneralMajor von Harrant; geführt von dem Oberstlieut. u. Inspect. Adjutant, Chef vom General Staab von Francken.” Forrásértékét több tényező növeli. Egyrészt egykorú, folyamatosan, legfeljebb az eseményeket követő néhány napon belül lejegyzett szövegről van szó, másrészt a naplót a dandár második embere, a táborkari főnök, von Francken alezredes vezette, akinek a parancsnok, Harrant vezérőrnagy mellett a legjobb rálátása lehetett az eseményekre. A közölt napló (Journal) egy kivonat a napi szinten vezetett naplóból (Tagebuch), amelynek eredetije nem található a karlsruhei levéltárban.magyarországi hadjáratról
