Seven Years War uniforms
This classic old school Blandford Press book by Mollo and McGregor is up on the Armchair General site. A useful introduction to the period even after all these years.

One of my mates from the States is looking for the drill manual for the Austrian army - these are a few of the plates sent by my pal Boris - anyone have the whole work?

Theresienstadt 2011
Recent event depicting the Seven Years War in the Czech Republic. This is an interesting little film - puts you right in the action - watch out for the Austrian Cuirassiers - impressive.
