They also were stripped of men and supplies for the allied war effort to a level never demanded of them by Napoleon.

You have made that assertion on many forums, including this one, several times in the past few years and on every occasion you've been asked for the primary sources that would back up that assertion, but I have never seen you offer any. You occasionally have mentioned some English-language secondary sources, like Owen's book on the satellite states, or Brendan Simms, but without specifying where in those texts, precisely, such data exists. (Owen, of course, did not do archival research in Saxony for that book; his intent was to create a survey text for a general readership and he did not offer data on the topic of comparative wealth-extraction in any event.)

In order to prove your assertion, you'd need to provide data: how much did Napoleon take, vs. how much the Allies took.

I don't know what the figures are for Saxony, but I've done the research on Westphalia and I know what is required to get to numbers like that: you have to look at local and regional budgets, the requisitions by civil and military authorities, the special forced bond issues and war taxes, the Ampliations on which the French recorded the seizure of people's property and goods, the proclamations by the Allied military authorities in 1813-14, and so on. That took me years of research in several archives to assemble. I'm not aware of any figures like that being available in secondary sources, but Hey, I'd be happy to be wrong about that.

Is it correct to conclude that you are not aware of any contemporary documents which detail the level of contributions (men, material, money) extracted from Saxony in this period by the French, vis-a-vis by the Allies? Because if you don't have the data, then I refer to you this gentleman:

“I would suggest that if any ideas are contested on any forum, then supporting documentation and evidence should be supplied. If not, then the point is moot and that clearly demonstrates a 'right' and a 'wrong' answer.”
