		On the outskirts of the city the Freikorps' armoured train fired off a few salvoes to emphasise their proximity and the destructive powers they had at their disposal.
		As early as 4 May it was clear as to the objective the Freikorps had in mind.
		Hitler portrayed himself as a strong man – a man whose politics were 'fought' with the spirit of the trenches and, indeed, the spirit that the Freikorps used to defeat their ideological opponents.

	Feldgrau :: Reichswehr - The Armed Forces 1918-1935
		Freikorps units could consist of small groups of less than 100 men loosely thrown together along quasi-military lines to defender local areas, while others were divisional sized formations consisting of infantry, artillery, machine gun and motorized units, logistical support, engineers, and air power.
		Freikorp units served as the basis for combating communist revolution across Germany, saw service in the Baltic region and fought the Poles along the eastern frontier defending against various Polish territorial incursions.
		Many Freikorp units served partly or entirely as the basis of the Vorläufige Reichsheer which consisted of about 400,000 men in nearly 50 Brigade sized units.

	Freikorps
		Die etwa 400.000 Mitglieder der rund 120 namentlich nachweisbaren Freikorps hatten vor allem aber antirevolutionäre und antidemokratische Ansichten.
		Freikorps kämpften 1919 im Baltikum gegen sowjetrussische Truppen, und sie schlugen im Auftrag der Regierung weitere revolutionäre Unruhen und kommunistische Umsturzversuche wie die Münchner Räterepublik oder den Märzaufstand von 1920 nieder, aber sie kämpften nicht für die parlamentarische Demokratie der Weimarer Republik.
		Mitglieder der Marinebrigade von Hermann Ehrhardt, die mit Walther Freiherr von Lüttwitz in Berlin einmarschiert waren und als Zeichen ihrer völkischen Gesinnung ein Hakenkreuz auf dem Stahlhelm trugen, wurden in geringer Zahl von der Reichswehr übernommen.

	THE WOMEN THEY FEARED - New York Times
		The Freikorps men were profoundly anti-Communist, devoted to the defense of what they viewed as traditional German culture, and seemingly addicted to a life of soldiering.
		This, of course, was the woman the Freikorps soldier wished to kill, because she endangered his identity, his sense of self as a fixed and bounded being.
		Theweleit links the Freikorps soldiers' fantasies of women to their practical life as illegal anti-Communist guerillas: the Republic had to be destroyed because it empowered the lascivious Red woman, while it failed to protect the White woman's sexual purity.

	The Swastika and the Nazis. Page 5.
		The German Freikorps (Free Corps) was the quasi-military force that replaced the banned German Army after World War I. It was a sort of "murderers army;" much like the one which later the German army was to consist.
		The pretext for the forming of the Freikorps was the eruption of communistic revolts in several parts of Germany.
		It is probable that the German Freikorps, who in 1918-19 fought the Bolsheviks in the Baltic countries, saw it and brought it back to Germany as a symbol of Aryan nationalism.

		A Brief History of the Birth of the Nazis is a timely and concise history of the Freikorps, the voluntary paramilitary groups that dominated German political life from the abdication of the Kaiser in 1918 to Hitler’s Beerhall Putsch of 1923.
		Raised in the chaotic aftermath of war, the Freikorps were composed mostly of veteran soldiers, embittered and out of place in civilian life, and young, right-wing students determined to crush those forces who had “betrayed” their homeland.
		Once thwarted, however, the disgruntled Freikorps embarked on a campaign of political murder; their leaders retired briefly to Bavaria, where they came under the influence of the little-known but rising political agitator Adolf Hitler.

	Warpstone - The independent magazine for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay - Responses to Legion #3.
		Historically, the Freikorps of the post-WWI period were former soldiers – there’s some argument most of the original Freikorps fighters were rear echelon shits on a murdering spree – goaded to believe it their right and duty to shoot every non-royalist.
		What the founders of the post-WWI Freikorps might have thought was that the original had been a small unit capable of independent action, exactly what they were trying to build out of the shambles of the Kaiser’s war machine.
		That he calls them 'freikorps' I agree is not value loaded to most readers, a point which, from his argument, would (I assume) have been more visible had we seen more of his development of these Ostland Freikorps.

		The Freikorps as opposed to the regular German Army set up under the armistice was composed of various "freebooter" volunteer units raised by ex-imperial veterans to keep order, oppose the Red Bolsheviks, and defend the nation against Polish raiders who wanted to take over parts of the border zone.
		Freikorps units ranged in size from local defense companies to fully integrated all arms units as large as divisions and corps.
		Additionally, some (although quite limited) informtion and visual reference is provided on the enemies of the Freikorps, such as the Volksmarine, Ruhr Red Army, POW, and other Eastern European pro-Communist para-military organizations, helping to get the overall picture of the forces arrayed against each other during the battles that took part during this period.

		The Freikorps, like the Heimwehr in Austria, was nationalist and anti-communist and theoretically dedicated to the defense of the territory of the country during the tumultuous period of demobilisation after the war.
		The Freikorps here would, if anything, be more analogous to Baathist and Sunni insurgents in opposition to occupation, in that part of the appeal of the Freikorps was its hostility to the 'collaborators' who signed the peace treaty and governed during the Weimar period.
		The Freikorps attacked Bolsheviks the way the Klan attacked fls, and the former undermined the new Weimar Republic the same way the latter undermined the new Southern Republican Party.

	Plastic Soldier Review - HäT Waterloo Lutzow Freikorps & Nassau Grenadiers
		Freikorps had existed long before the Napoleonic Wars, and were intended for raiding, harassing the enemy and generally doing those things for which the regular army was not well suited.
		In February 1813 Major von Luetzow was given permission to raise such a unit which was to become the most famous of them all.
		However, given the small number of such troops that actually took the field, it seems doubtful that a manufacturer would produce a full set of them, in which case at least four poses is better than no poses, and of course both present possibilities for conversions for those so inclined.

		With much propaganda the name was changed to the Britisches Freikorps and about October or November 1943 a number of British Soldiers between 40 to 50 volunteered to join the SS provided they did not have to take up arms against Britain or the British Crown which was stipulated and accepted by the Germans.
		Only a few were brought to trial as the British found it difficult to take the SS Bristisches Freikorps seriously and prison sentences were not harsh.
