Freischar
The ''Freischar'' was the German name given to an irregular, military volunteer unit that, unlike regular or reserve military forces, participated in a war without the formal authorisation of one of the belligerents, but on the instigation of a political party or an individual. A ''Freischar'' deployed against a foreign enemy was often called a ''Freikorps''. The term ''Freischar'' has been commonly used in German-speaking Europe since 1848. The members of a ''Freischar'' were called ''Freischärler''. As early as 1785 Johann von Ewald published in Kassel his ''Discourse on the Small War'' (''Abhandlung über den kleinen Krieg''), which described his experiences with the rebels in the North American colonies.
== Legal status ==
The Hague Convention of 1907 distinguished between militia, volunteer corps and members of the regular armed forces. According to the then ruling legal principle, volunteers did not have to be brought before a court. They could be sentenced by a court martial and executed. A historic example is the execution of the officers of the ''Freischar'' of Ferdinand von Schill in 1809.
This legal situation changed with the signing of the Geneva Convention. ''Freischärler'' were given combatant status if they had an organisational structure, a fixed distinctive emblem recognizable at a distance, carried arms openly and conducted their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war. They also had a right to humane treatment and a fair trial.
