Distinguish2 the Coalition units the King s German Legion and the Russian German Legion The Germanic Legion was a military unit of the French Revolutionary Wars , theoretically made up of German volunteers fighting under French command. It was set up in September 1792 and dissolved on 22 June 1793. History The idea of forming an army corps from pro French Revolution Revolutionary German volunteers was born in summer 1792. It was most probably the example of the Belgian Legion l gion des Belges and Belgian Legion l gion des Li geois unis which gave the Prussian Jean Baptiste Cloots Anachasis Cloots and Saxon Saiffert, both resident in Paris, the idea of such a Legion, at first to be called a Prussian Legion then a Vandal Legion. It rapidly hit recruitment problems, however, since there few expatriate Germans in France were in favour of the Revolution. Cloots thus had the idea of recruiting deserters from the Austrian and Prussian armies. A decree of the Legislative Assembly France Legislative Assembly of August 1792 granted such deserters a pension for life of 100 livres should they join the unit. Cloots and his military adjutants colonels Dambach and van Hayden, however, felt the Germanic Legion must not just become a refuge for deserters but the core of future German liberty . Saiffert composed a hymn with the chorus Arise ye oppressed people stand up, you who speak the same language, be free like the French L ve toi peuple opprim debout, vous qui parlez la m me langue, soyez libres comme les Fran ais . A capitulation ie a treaty was concluded by the future legion s leaders and the Minister of Defence France Minister for War , stipulating that the Legion would never be deployed against Austrian or German troops and that that no Frenchman would be accepted into it. The Legion s existence was officialised by a law of 4 September 1792, but the capitulation was very soon violated, with Frenchman being admitted into the Legion mainly Germanophone Alsace Alsatians and Lorraine ... more details

Baltic mythology generally covers the pre Christian mythology of the Latvian people Latvian s, Lithuanian people Lithuanian s and Old Prussians , which are thought to have at least some common roots. The predominant common feature is polytheism , with a variety of mythical creatures and a strong presence of the spirits of the dead. Research has uncovered close relationships with the pre Christian myths of other Indo European Indo European peoples , especially with the Slavs , Germanic and Celts . Both Latvia and Lithuania have state recognized traditional religious communities with roots in the pre Christian traditions. Various texts are sources of Baltic mythological folklore. These are largely collected and fixed in writing, but still little explored in comparison with the greater religious communities. In Latvia, these texts are very numerous, especially the Daina . A Daina consists of four lines, each line containing eight syllables occasionally five or six syllables . The most important collection of such folksongs are Latvju dainas of Kri j nis Barons . Because of their quantity approximately 2 million and variety, they give a very detailed and comprehensive picture of the nature loving life, archaic ideas, customs and festivals of the Latvian tribes. The Lithuanian Dainos are much longer, and they also have ballad like elements. Other sources, both Latvian and Lithuanian, are in fairy tales, myths and legends, also place names and religious terms, revealed by etymology etymological analysis. Tacitus wrote around 45 CE that the Baltic peoples worship the mother of the gods and use as statues of boars in the practice of their religion. Older possible sources do not clearly delineate whether it is indeed the Baltic tribes which are referenced.
