History:
During the Franco-Prussian War of 18701871, Prussian infantry formed the backbone of the German coalition forces in a campaign that reshaped European power dynamics. Clad in dark blue tunics, spiked pickelhaube helmets, and carrying the Dreyse needle gun, these troops advanced with disciplined precision against French forces across Alsace, Lorraine, and the approaches to Paris. The war showcased the effectiveness of Prussian organisation, leadership, and tactical innovation. This conflict marked the rise of a unified German Empire and signalled the decline of the French Second Empire. These figures represent the determined advance of Prussian infantry that played a decisive role in battles such as Gravelotte, Sedan, and the Siege of Paris.
