Remarks on Swabia and Austrian Troops in 1742 Controversy
The writer cites the London Gazette and a Swabian circle petition from 1742 protesting Austrian troop excesses in Swabia and Bavaria, contrasting claims of neutrality violations by French and Bavarian forces. It argues for cautious balance, noting Swabian grievances about requisitions, spoilage, and enforcement, while hinting at later restraint during retreat from the Rhine.
