I am looking to read up on the Württemberg troops 1809-1814. I am planning on printing out the corps from The First Battle of Bar-sur-Aube 1814. These are the stl files for sale I have seen them painted and they are gorgeous.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The series by Wright is very good.

For 1809, it's difficult to beat 'With Eagles to Glory' by John Gill. It covers Württemberg, (plus Saxony, Bavaria, Hesse and Baden) in great detail.

It's honestly one of those books that can't be recommended strongly enough.

I don't think that you take your time until 2024, as we're writing a larger book about the Wurttemberg army of 1806-1815. It will be of similar kind as the Westphalian book of my co-author Markus Gärtner, cf. link

But as I told, it will take surely until 2024 for release of the German and English version.

Here are two links to searches in the Uniform-portal of Napoleon Online showing some images of Wurttemberg troops:

1813 => link
1814 => link

Even if the images are done in the late 19th century (Knötel plates and plates from regimental histories) they're quite valuable.

The Wurttembergers were not only excellent troops but they stayed loyal even after Leipzig. They only left the Grande Armee when summoned home by their king as their country was being threatened by the allies.
