Editing Freikorps (section)

=== Freikorps poetry ===
The anti-Napoleonic guerrilla movements in Germany, Russia and Spain in the early 1810s also produced their own style of poetry, ''hussar poetry'' or ''Freikorps poetry'', written by soldier-poets. In Germany, [[Theodor Körner (author)|Theodor Körner]], [[Max von Schenkendorff]] and [[Ernst Moritz Arndt]] were the most famous soldier-poets from the Freikorps. Their lyrics were for the most part patriotic, republican, anti-monarchical and anti-French. In Russia, the leader of the guerrilla army, Davydov, invented the genre of hussar poetry, characterised by hedonism and bravado. He used events from his own life to illustrate such poetry. Later, when [[Mikhail Lermontov]] was a ''junker'' ([[cadet]]) in the Russian Imperial Army, he also wrote such poetry.
