The rank and file Hessians were not mercenaries directly paid by the England. The Hesse-Kassel state got the big bucks. The soldiers were just the poor schmucks who were drafted because they lived there. Hesse-Kassel did this because their troops were considered to be quite good. I have an ancestor who was a Hessian who defected. He settled in North Carolina were he found gold on his property, and became very rich. Look up John Reed, the luckiest Hessian.
If Hessie McGee had got his way make no mistake WWII would have come 2 centuries early and there'd be Washington statues in Berlin, labeled in English and in no risk of being toppled because best believe when georgie cracked them open he did it classy
You guys are cool, but you're wrong about a few things, the Hessians were not mercenaries, they were auxiliaries. They were not soldiers of fortune. They were on loan from their prince to King George of England who was also a German prince. The Prince of Hesse got paid a certain amount for each man, and he actually got paid more if they got killed in battle. So yes they were worth more to their prince dead than alive. Sad.
Yanni “...and we shit red, white and blue” to which DiStuffalo says “we’ll that’s the thing we(America) wound up becoming Jesus’s favorite...” don’t know what he said after that cuz I was cackling too hard!
