Blücher’s Hatbox
Last year, the Deutsches Historisches Museum was able to acquire for its collections a hatbox that once belonged to Prussian Field Marshal Blücher. In this article, the head of the DHM’s Militaria Collection, Dr Thomas Weissbrich, tells us about the object, its historical context, and two hats from the Battle of Waterloo.
