Welcome to the 1st East Prussain Grenadier Battalion Steam group

History

For the campaign of 1806, Prussia started off with having 27 grenadier battalions, however after the defeats at Jena and Auerstadt the number of grenadier battalions and infantry regiments was reduced. The infantry regiments had only 2 grenadier companies each. The 1st East Prussian Grenadier companies where assigned to the 1st East Prussian Infantry Regiment.

In 1815 the two best battalions (1st East Prussian Grenadier Battalion and Life Grenadier Battalion) became part of the 1st Grenadier Regiment (1. Grenadier-Regiment-Kaiser-Alexander). Unfortunately this superb unit took no part in the Waterloo Campaign.
