The Hessians were mercenaries, paid by the British to fight. They had no particular interest in Britain and did not volunteer to serve Britain but were rented out by their rulers.

Consequently, when they were bombarded with propaganda from the Americans and offered land grants to desert, many saw their chance to improve their lot and become Americans.

Did the Hessians kill for coins?
yes, and that may be partof why the Americans won in the revolution: because they had more of a motive than just money. NO.

All British monetary compensation went to the Prince of Hess, not to the troops themselves.
