Björn Rüther wrote an interesting article on the Schlachtsword. There is a German and an English version. He cities his sources and addresses things that have previously been discussed here. https://ddhf.de/forschung-und-wissen/die-verwendung-des-deutschen-schlachtschwertes-des-spaeten-16-und-fruehen-17-jahrhunderts/

Yes, good suggestion - the more information out there the better. Of course you would also find answers to these questions and more by consulting my book, 'The Two-handed Sword, History, Design and Use' 230 pages and over 100 illustrations, published by Pen and Sword in 2019. Well reviewed on Amazon and still available. Best wishes.
