ES LEBE DER KÖNIG!
This mod is a small retexture in progress to change the entire Prussian team's uniforms to that of the 2nd Silesian Infantry Regiment as of 1813-1815.


History

The historical 2nd Silesian Infantry Regiment was founded 22.11.1808 under the AKO (Allerhöchste Kabinetts-Order) of Friedrich Wilhelm III as the second regiment of the province of Silesia and as the twelth of the Prussian army.

The regimental flag's color was light blue with no facings or cross in the flag. The uniforms of the regiment were the same as of the 1st Silesian Infantry Regiment, with collars and cuffs being colored yellow as according to the coat of arms of Silesia.

Regiment was at the time of founding, consisting of two grenadier companies, two musketeer battalions and one Füsilier battalion. 

During 1813, the third musketeer battalion and four reserve battalions were formed to supplement the regiment.

The regimental number of the regiment changed in 1813 due the 8th Infantry Regiment being elevated as a foot guards regiment, no longer keeping its old name. 

Thus all regiments from 9 to 12 were numbered one less and 2nd Silesian Infantry Regiment Nr12 became the Nr11 (which in turn was previously used by 1st Silesian Infantry Regiment) with newly formed Brandenburg regiment taking its place as the 12th infantry regiment of the Prussian army. 

In 1813 the grenadier companies of the regiment were subordinated to the brigade to form Silesian Grenadier battalion along with the grenadier companies of the 1st Silesian Infantry regiment. 

The regiment served and saw multitude of battles during the 1813 "Wars of Liberation" and later took part of 1815 campaign at Waterloo.

The regiment went under multitude of name changes during its years of operation which were the following:

1808 
2. Schlesisches Infanterie Regiment
1816 
11. Infanterie Regiment (2. Schlesisches)
1860 
2. Schlesisches Grenadier-Regiment Nr.11
1888 
6. Grenadier Regiment Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm Nr.11
2. Schlesisches Grenadier-Regiment Kronprinz Friedrich Wilhelm Nr.11
1900 
2. Schlesisches Grenadier-Regiment König Friedrich III Nr. 11
