Abstract

Author of Hermann von Boyen's biography, Friedrich Meinecke stated that the contributions of Prussian twice (1815–1819 and 1841–1847) Minister of War to the military theory were almost completely forgotten. Despite the existence of many thousands of manuscript pages, this opinion is still considered valid to this day. The chief architect of the Landwehr system was also the founder of the concept of the ‘defence system’, crucial to understanding Prussian military thought in the first half of the nineteenth century. This idea influenced, in my opinion, the way of thinking about warfare within the Prussian Army far more than the Carl von Clausewitz's Vom Kriege.

老赫尔曼·冯·博因及其对1815年后普鲁士军队的影响

赫尔曼·冯·博伊恩传记的作者弗里德里希·迈内克指出，普鲁士两次(1815-1819年和1841-1847年)战争部长对军事理论的贡献几乎被完全遗忘了。尽管存在着成千上万页的手稿，但这种观点至今仍被认为是有效的。这位国防军体系的总设计师也是“防御体系”概念的创始人，这对于理解19世纪上半叶普鲁士的军事思想至关重要。在我看来，这个想法对普鲁士军队思考战争的方式的影响远远超过了卡尔·冯·克劳塞维茨的《战争之战》。

期刊介绍： War in History journal takes the view that military history should be integrated into a broader definition of history, and benefits from the insights provided by other approaches to history. Recognising that the study of war is more than simply the study of conflict, War in History embraces war in all its aspects: > Economic > Social > Political > Military Articles include the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters. There is no restriction as to period: the journal is as receptive to the study of classical or feudal warfare as to Napoleonic. This journal provides you with a continuous update on war in history over many historical periods.
