This is the first work to highlight the contributions of regiments of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the post-1820 immigrant Germans at the Battle of Gettysburg. On the first day; the 1st Corps; in which many of the Pennsylvania Dutch groups served; and the half-German 11th Corps; which had five regiments of either variety in it; bought with their blood enough time for the Federals to adequately prepare the high ground; which proved critical in the end for the Union victory. On the second day; they participated in beating back Confederate attacks that threatened to crack the Union defenses on Cemetery Hill and in other strategic locations.
