Are there any good Books about the military organization and battles of the Hesse-Cassel and Hesse-Darmstadt forces during the TYW and the contemporary Hessian War? |

Yes, and they are not exactly hard to find using a couple of german search words in google. Try Hessenkrieg and dreißigjähriger krieg hessen kassel and you will start to find some books |

Franz von Geyso also wrote on the subject but not all of his books seem to turn up using google books so you may want to use alternate resources like worldcat and so on to find them. |

Daniel, apart from the Hessen Kassel leibgarde, which are depicted here ( link ) wearing Blue, would any other Hessen-Kassel or Hessen-Darmstadt regiments wear uniforms during that time? If so, are any coat colors known? |

Would the rulers of Hessen-Darmstadt also have an uniformed bodyguard? |

Guys, anyone knows anything about hessian uniforma of the period? I found a mentions to Blue uniforma being generally used by the hesse-kassel soldiers, but no source was mentioned. |
