The Army of Germany or Armée d'Allemagne was a military formation of the First French Empire during the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809.
[2] At its formation, the Army of Germany's French units were scattered in cantonments throughout France's allies in the Confederation of the Rhine.
It took days to muster the army at its assigned places, and this was not complete at the start of the war on 10 April.
[3] The total strength of the Army of Germany was about 160,000, with a higher proportion of conscripts than the Grande Armée of 1804–1808, with which its performance has been unfavourably compared.
It was short on equipment and structurally incomplete at the start of hostilities, but, after a setback at Aspern-Essling, it won the war at Wagram.
