Hannibal von Degenfeld, engraving by Wolfgang Philipp Kilian

... that Hannibal von Degenfeld (pictured) played the leading role in establishing the Bavarian Army in 1682, before leading it to the Battle of Vienna a year later?

The duke represented the Habsburg forces and the Emperor; General Hannibal von Degenfeld took the place of his master, Max Emmanuel, the Elector of Bavaria."

ALT1: ... that in a military career spanning 25 years, Hannibal von Degenfeld (pictured) served Venice, the Dutch Republic, Denmark–Norway, and Bavaria as a commander? Source: summary of the article

All the sources are offline or in German, but just about everything else is in order. Long enough and new enough. I myself prefer the first hook. A few minor quibbles: (1) A couple of sentences in the Venetian service subsection aren't sourced. (2) Is the Life section break really necessary? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Clarityfiend: which sentences are not sourced? Constantine ✍ 13:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Third sentence, first paragraph of Venetian service, first, second and third sentences, second paragraph. (If the sources at the end of each paragraph are supposed to cover their entire respective paragraphs, it's inconsistent with how the rest of the article is sourced.) Clarityfiend (talk) 14:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - That is exactly the case. I didn't follow a specific pattern of reference for each sentence, e.g. also last parts of both paragraphs in the 'Dutch and Danish service' section... Constantine ✍ 15:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
