Great video!

“How did Sweden dominate Germany?” Narrator: They didn’t.
Great documentary !!! Keep posting, thanks !!!
The Swedes just got worse with each battle
They were great at Breitenfeld
Ok at Lützen
And then just got completely obliterated here
“how did Sweden dominate Germany?” Bit missleading title but good video nonetheless
I loved the video, I think you did a better job than SandRhoman in explaining the campaign that led to the battle and the battle itself, you gave facts that were not mentioned in his video and you focus on fully showing all phases of the battle, correctly implying why it was considered a disaster for the Swedes and other Protestant factions at the time, forcing France to intervene in the conflict for that decisive result..
It must be said that this battle was epic, because in it the champion armies and leaders of the two sides faced each other: on the one hand, the Swedish veteran regiments (which at that time were seen as invincible and tactically more modern troops), while on the other were the old but very veteran Spanish Tercios (which were seen as an outdated force despite having evolved at the same pace as the other armies of the time, but at the same time very feared and capable). There are two pieces of information that you do not mention, but they are also interesting: the first is of vital importance to understand the arrival of the Tercios and their first confrontations with the Swedish armies, which has to do with the Campaign of the Duke of Feria in 1633 through Alsace (which had the role of ensuring the passage to the Cardinal-Infante before his arrival in Germany), in this after the Spanish troops arrived in Italy, he set out to successfully dislodge Horn’s Swedish troops who were attacking the cities of Constance and Breisach and recover under Catholic control the cities near the Helvetic Confederation and Bavaria, in this campaign it show It is that the tactical and maneuvering capacity of the Tercios is up to the Swedes, so their actions in the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634 are only confirmation of what had happened a year before. The other curiosity have to do with the same battle, it is said that one of the reasons why the Swedes lost that battle was because they underestimated the Spanish, who despite having expelled them from the Rhine passes the previous year, they still seemed inferior to them due to their unregular and unprofessional appearance, compared to the Germans, which took its toll on them by concentrating their attacks against the supposedly weak Tercios who demonstrated their experience of more than a century of wars by rejecting their attacks (the appearance it is not everything in an army and it deceives the unsuspecting).
It would be great if you could also make a video of the battles of the first phases of the Thirty Years’ War, such as that of White Mountain in 1620 or that of Fleurus in 1622. Other interesting options may be later battles (little known) such as the Battle of Honnecourt of 1642 or the Battle of Tuttlingen of 1643, which break with the misconception that the Battle of Rocroi ended the Spanish war efforts.
The Swedes were no match for the Spanish Tercio
Spanish Tercio greatness witnessed here
The effort put into pronouncing Axel Oxenstierna (more or less) correctly is appreciated. Non-Swedish speakers usually don’t realize that “sti” is a single sound here.
Horn appears to be an idiot.
Throwing piece meal units at overwhelming defense just adds up to needless men dying.
So similar to WWI…
Can you make a video about a modern battle
never understood what’s the point of these piecemeal attacks why aren’t the whole of the armies engaged
Excellent work here Sir and your Team
my comment and thanks to you for always providing amazing content!
How different history would’ve been had Gustavus Adolphus not been killed at Lutzen?
Ah European history. Where the Swedes end up fighting the Spanish inside Germany.
What VPN!!!
We don’t need a VPN…
Our personal information are already leaked…by all of us… willingly and most of the time, on purpose..! 😜
