The ''Fähnlein'' (in Swedish: fänika) was an infantry unit approximately equivalent to the company or battalion which was used in parts of Europe during the Middle Ages. The size of the unit varied; originally a Fähnlein could consist of as many as 1,000 soldiers, but numbers were generally less, around 500. It was sub-divided into sections or ''Rotten'' (singular: ''Rotte'') of between 6 and 12 men.

It was later used by the scouts and Wandervögel as well as by the Deutsches Jungvolk during the Nazi era. ''Rotte'' was later also used in the organisational structure of the SS and has survived into the B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
