I've never seen anyone do a series on the War of the Spanish Succession, which is surprising given what a huge, costly conflict it was. Maybe you could be the first.
From all the military history channels I watch, the house of history is having the most frequent upload schedule. And adding that to the amazing nature of the videos. It goes to show somethings can be as good as they seem.
I really appreciate you taking the time to break your videos into chapters. It shows a level of professionalism. It also let's me compare your videos to others, should they be on similar topics. Over all excellent work.
I am astonished by the number of videos you put out while still maintaining a level of quality almost unparalleled your channel deserves to grow and become one of the biggest history channels on youtube but until then never give up and keep producing your masterpieces of history telling I want to thank you you for your content and hope this comment help out with the algorithm
In this battle I saw that you have exceeded all your previous battle videos including hohenfriedberg, soor, lobositz. Presentation of mountain ranges, valleys, rivers, roads and routes, borders and territories of states concerned in singal map is just incredible. Battle map was great in same sense. Hills, forest, woodlands, city and routes with excellent mapping skills. (Today I watched hohenfriedberg battle five times and I had mentioned in it)
I find it VERY helpful when content creators do things like: put a barely perceptible pause before ANY name of a person, place or significant land or water feature, and then annunciating the new proper noun using a relatively loud and very clear annunciation. Also, using adjectives in conjunction with these names of people and places that are relatively less familiar to the audience helps to bridge the language barrier better for content creators who insist on using non-EFL narrators in their videos, even if they are narrating the video themselves (ie: " 'little' 'insert name of small town that most people have never heard of, or have never heard spoken in English by a non-EFL speaker here' was protecting the defenders' left flank...) Also, it's very helpful for the creator to briefly flash or highlight units visually whenever more than 1 unit is being discussed or listed, or if being introduced or reintroduced within the story... This is some of the best advice I can think of to offer you, just off the top of my head. Other than that, love your videos. PS: a collaboration with a RU-vid peer who has a very proper English accent (or a few different peers with clearly discernable English language usage, but with various foreign or exotic accents, with each one narrating the movements and actions of a particular nation's forces would be a REALLY KOOL concept to explore. If I were you, I'd even consider-- scratch that-- I would ABSOLUTELY PLAN to reach out to various RU-vid creators who don't necessarily produce videos that are solely historical in nature... #1 on my list would be the owner of "The Slingshot Channel," as long as you set it up for him to excitedly declare in EVERY VIDEO in which he makes an appearance, "Let me SHOW YOU its features...!!" "The History Guy" is a no-brainer, for WAAAAY too many reasons to list in their entirety, but his clear and easy to understand narration, expressive delivery (which is especially engaging and helps an audience to absorb and recall info much more readily, leading to my suspicions that he may have been an actual history teacher at some point or that he should have been lol) and his self-declaration of his "love [of] history..." I'm sure I could come up with many, many more great examples of very unique guest narrators to collaborate with, if only enough of you liked this comment, or if the Channel Owner responded to this comment or tagged or highlighted it or whatever to let me know that somebody cared enough to hear more of my feedback... ijs
Great job again. I really like your channel. History is my passion and I see from your room decorations that you are interested in history as well. I think we can have good discussions on various historical topics!
Fascinating. I have a large gap from 1650's up to the Napoleonic wars that I know next to nothing. Early Modern/Wars of Religion is my biggest interest lately.
It was actually Charles of Lorraine's and everyone else's best effort. The infantry were smart for forecasting a pincer attack. However, Prussians are just too good despite the early blunder Count Schwerin made
hello i love military history and recently know your channel your work is very good and i hope it become better by day please make videos about loius xiv wars
I just wanna say i love this channel with all of my heart.. Especially i really love Prussia things. Maybe you could add another story about a great Prussian called Otto von Bismarck. Personally he is my idol.
According to the internet, "Frische eier, gute eier!" is German, translating to: "Fresh eggs, good eggs!" Me (after reading the translation): 😆 🤣 😂 🤪 😜
it would be great if, in same manner, same beautiful maps, and detailed described operations and battle, in the future, you would start a project to cover the 30 years war! There is another coverage of another great youtuber, but you could go much more into details about 30 years war!
That battle was the true Pyrrhic victory because the damage the Prussians inflicted on themselves in that battle thanks to poor leadership was far greater than the losses suffered by Pyrrhus in any of the early battles. That battle took their ability to wage war, however, they were facing an opponent who did not know how to take advantage of the situation ad allowed the Prussians to recover. Really surprising considering how they won all the previous engagements.
A short time later the Prussians were defeated in the battle of Kolin and had to retreat from Bohemia and subsequently give up on taking Vienna. What have you said again about Austria not knowing what to do with that victory? It might still be true in the long run but the Austrians gained a lot of shorttime advantages from the battles at Prague and Kolin.
Frederick's attack on the Austrian left was so freaking reminiscent of Gettysburg. I don't care if you're the legendary Prussian army you can't just attack uphill with enemy guns firing into your ranks and not expect to take heavy casualties.
Freddie the Great.. Butcher of his own armies, and any time losing turns command over to another and "retires". A soldier runs off, it's retreat, but if Freddie it's "retiring". Every time he suffered many men, there's a excuse "owweeee my tummy, I must have food poisoning....". He was making excuses even before battle.
Fantastic video but I do not think that so many soldiers were killed. Such numbers in casualities were achieved only during the American Civil War, when the weapons became deadlier than ever.
Unfortunately I am bound by the sources I use. The Grosser Generalstab Kriegsgeschitliche Abteilung also mentions around this number of casualties. I looked you up because I have a question. I am looking for a list of all battles of the Hungarian revolution. Would you know where to start looking? My Hungarian is unfortunately not at a level where I can read Hungarian sources, but a list (presumably in Hungarian) with all battles will be enough so I can chronologically begin writing my in-depth documentary of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. Looking forward to hearing from you! PS. Feel free to e-mail me at houseofhistorypodcast@gmail.com. Koszonom szepen!
Glad you enjoyed it, currently working on the Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf and Moys (Kolin will be out next week, and is out now for patrons). Hope you have a good weekend!
@@chrismath149 a “decimation” is reducing by 10%… saying “entirely decimated” sounds weird… People often seem to use “decimated” to indicate that they lost a majority or more, like the opposite of decimated… as if they lost 90% and had 10% remaining. A “Decimation” was a punishment for Roman Legions who preformed badly or cowardice… they would separate the men into groups of 10… make them draw straws… whoever got the short straw was beaten to death by the other 9… reducing the amount of legionaries by 10%
@@BLASTIC0 You do think that losing 10 % of a force is not bad, do you? Just to make sure I didn't misunderstand you. If so: Losing ten per cent of your soldiers means your unit loses all kinds of important personnel. Combat is chaotic, so chaotic that if you lose as much as a single officers or a few NCOs order in a formation can completely breakdown. In the era of muskets, people usually could not see further than a few meters once smoke lingered so you stand there, and suddenly the guys next to you run away, so you run as well, not realizing that nothing all that bad happened. It just seems terrible because you don't know how the battle overall is going. Read up on mass routes if you want to know more. Armies broke fairly quickly if they BELIEVED they were losing. Even if they were actually winning - it is kind of funny in a sad way how often a winning army broke down in the minute of victory.
Can you stop use "fiercely resisted" in every engagment. If all unit "fiercely resisted" its standard combat, and no unit excelled in there reisistence.
