Violence is at the core of war – first as a means to create „order“ between states or to discipline soldiers inside the army. Second, violence tends to destroy the only capital of the „soldier“, his healthy body. In this talk I shall focus on this destructive aspect of violence. Higher military ranks to the general command report laconically horrifying numbers of killed or injured „soldiers“. To get closer to the experience of the individual „soldier“ it is necessary to use other sources such as diaries, autobiographies and letters. I shall analyze a corpus of these „ego documents“. No doubt, injuries may have direct effects on the masculinity of these soldiers as warriors or providers. Beyond this evidence one may wonder whether the representation of experienced violence varies between text genres – and during the three centuries of the early modern period. The different positions of the authors inside the hierarchy of the armies might be a further clue to explain their attitudes toward violence. Whether this might also hint to different types of masculinity has to be discussed.
