Frederick II the Great, ascending the Prussian throne in 1740, inherited from his father (Frederick William I) undoubtedly one of the best armies in Europe at that time, which, however, was not an ideal army and required changes. The first skirmishes and battles of the war for the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) clearly showed that the greatest corrections and reforms awaited the Prussian cavalry. They also showed the necessity to create light cavalry units, which included, among others, the 5th Hussars Regiment formed in August 1741, which was later called Regiment of Black Hussars (German Regiment Schwarze Husaren). Already in September this year, five squadrons of this regiment were formed, and he became its first historical commander major von Mackroth.
