Military night


A military night or Prussian night refers to the custom of allowing complaints and the like only the day later in order to ensure a rethinking of the occasion overnight. This custom originated from the Prussian and British Armies and, as set out in the Military Complaints Regulations of the German Armed Forces or the General regulation of the Austrian Armed Forces, exists even in some of today's armies.
