Frederick the Great created 14 "free infantry" (Frei-Infanterie) units, mainly between 1756 and 1758, which were intended to be attractive to those soldiers who wanted military "adventure", but did not want to have to do military drill.
Friedrich II. schuf vor allem zwischen 1756 und 1758 14 Frei-Infanterie-Einheiten, die für diejenigen attraktiv sein sollten, die zwar Lust am militärischen „Abenteuer“ hatten, aber von militärischem Drill frei sein wollten.
