• Add a link to Brownlee and what kind of thesis is it?

• Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:52, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
  • As per WP:SCHOLARSHIP, master's theses are not generally regarded as reliable sources. Can you find other works that are RS that have used Brownlee?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:03, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

    Honestly can't find anything on the topic in English full stop (apart from this Brownlee). I'm going to inquire whether there's anything available in German. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

    It is easy enough to confirm that Hinüber was on some of these committees and a bit about what they did. [1] (also on TWL) [2] (p. 12 footnote 49). This one looks good but I only get snippets: [3]. While Brownlee cites as sources some archival material, these reports actually appear to be mostly published (for example [4]) and searching for the dates mentioned (like this) probably gives something useful. With these links, I think everything but the "ten corps of 30000 men each" can be verified; I haven't found that yet (but I haven't put much energy into it so far). —Kusma (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

    Found it, p. 40 of the "Von Wien nach Königgrätz" book I linked to above (de Gruyter via TWL). So I think everything you need from Brownlee's thesis can be cited to the first two sources I mentioned. —Kusma (talk) 08:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

    @Kusma: Many thanks for coming to my aid so quickly. The Angelow in particular is a fantastic source! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

    You're welcome. I'm happy to help with this kind of things any time. I've learned again how little I know: The existence of the German Federal Army had been news to me, and now I know how embarrassingly little I understand about the German Confederation. —Kusma (talk) 21:04, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

• @Sturmvogel 66: Thanks very much for taking up both Hinuber and Rebow! Responses above. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 15:06, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

  @Sturmvogel 66: With the gracious assistance of Kusma I've replaced all the Brownlee. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 20:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
