This thread is meant to compile and document a list of regiments which were "German" (although often in period accounts this includes Scandinavian, Polish, etc.), which had German companies, or otherwise had a significant number of ethnic "Germans". This is not intended for predominantly "Anglo" or USCT regiments which had a German commander.
The list is incomplete. There may be some on this list, especially from newspaper accounts, that never actually organized or didn't end up having enough ethnic soldiers to really be considered a German regiment. There will also be many "Irish" regiments on this list, as I have found multiple cases of one regiment having multiple companies of both German and Irish (e.g. 10th OH). If someone is willing to set up a sister thread on documented Irish regiments, that would be interesting to see as well.
Anyone is welcome to post below documented evidence, and the list will be updated. Thank you in advance for your interest and contribution.
Note: Regiments with "Kaufmann" are said to have been at least half-German, per Germans in the American Civil War.
