Inhaber
1756 Gerlach
Unit History 
The Freicorp was supposedly raised in 1756 by its Inhaber, Gerlach. If it existed, it would have been used extensively in the Kleinkrieg by the Hessians. It was disbanded at the end of the Seven Years War.
Comments
The figures used are Austrian Front Rank. The contrast between the mid-blue and green is striking. The troops are definitely not Jägers in their appearance. The existence of the unit is questionable because there are no specific primary references to the unit. The only reference is the Sturm card image.

“Germany fears all; Austria risks all; Bavaria hopes for all; Prussia attempts all; Mayence sells all; Portugal watches all; England wants to do all; Spain confuses all; Savoy distrusts all; Mercury mixes with all; France buys all; The Jesuites are into all; Rome blesses all; If God does not provide for all, The devil will take it all away."
