Jan III Sobieski attacks the Turkish army at Vienna from the Kahlenberg (turn on CC for subtitles) 

Poland saved Austria and Austria thanked by invading Poland

Can't deny that the winged hussars had the coolest looking armor ever

Imagine being a besieged Christian and 20k Angels on horseback come to bail you out

My town in the Netherlands was liberated by the polish and the symbol of the Division was a winged hussar greetings from the Netherlands

*500 pistol shots fired *Rider killed instantly *Horse is ok

Because we do not, beg for fredom, we fight for it. Proud to be Polish!🇵🇱🏇🦅🛡️⚔️

Jan Sobietski is one of the greatest (and often unsung) European heroes. All the Old World owes him and his miraculous cavalry a lot. Hurrah for King Jan!

Now: “Son, it’s your first time riding a bike, don’t be afraid.” Poland 1600's: “Son, it’s your first charge, you can do this.”

Then the winged hussars arrived

Not going to lie, I love how the comments are filled with people from Turkey and Poland "tipping their hats to each other" out of respect. It shows a great detail of character. Thank you all!

Nicholas I: “The most stupid of the Polish kings was Jan Sobieski, and the most stupid of the Russian emperors was me. Sobieski because he saved Austria in 1683, and I because I saved her in 1848.”

My most appreciated respect to Poland, greetings from Mexico ✌🏼🇵🇱🇲🇽

When the German armies invaded Poland in 1939, the Ambassador of Hitler’s Germany [in Turkey] at the time, Franz Von Papen, demanded the building of Poland’s diplomatic mission [including a nice garden] to be put into his service, just like Czechoslovakia’s diplomatic mission building, which was 150 meters away from the Polish Embassy. The President of the period, Ismet Pasha [İnönü] rejected this demand and gave the following response : "We have a traditional friendship with Poland. In the past, at the time of Poland’s partition, Turkey waited for Polish envoy’s arrival for 150 years. Now, for a short period of time, I can not disappoint our Polish friends, and Turkey will never fulfill this demand of yours.. " Thus, during the World War II years, von Papen had to continue seeing the Polish flag from the window of his residence, and on Aug. 17, 1945, Turkey declared its recognition of the new Polish government. Lesson of "Honor" - Respect from Poland

As a Turk, i feel nothing bad about this war. They fought hard and win against us. Respect Poland

Respect to all polish brothers for defending Europe and Christianity to this day. Glad to have you as allies. Greetings from Germany. Gott mit uns

And a hundred years later, the Austrians, in gratitude for this salvation, betrayed and divided the Polish lands in 1772 and 1795

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE

I just returned from a trip to Vienna,lovely city,beautifull. But no statue of king Sobieski,what a shame... Greetings from Greece,noble Poles!

Turkey to Poland: I tip my hat to you sir, one legend to another. Americans in comment section: *WHO’S HERE FROM SABATON?!*

As a Turk I love and respect Sobieski, a great leader indeed.

AUSTRIA: HELP POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH: OK 1795 AUSTRIA: BYE P-L- C: NOOOO

On 11 November Poland will celebrate 100 years of Polish independence. I salute all the Poles who fought to keep Poland independent.

Ty polish brothers we are the real heros of europe🇭🇷❤🇭🇺❤🇵🇱

This battle inspired Tolkien to write tje Battle of Pelennor Fields, where Rohan knights charge against the Mordor forces who were attacking Gondor.

I'am from Brazil and salute Poland. We Remeber In Setember, When the Winged Hussars Arrive!

Poland was honourable enemy. they fought hard and beat us. Respect from Turkey.

Jan III Sobieski was a Great Grandson of another Polish Hero Stefan Żółkiewski.

This movie is a bit over-colored but the historical fact is that mercenaries in European armies in the 17th century joining Russia, Sweden or other armies had caviats in their "contracts" that they would fight anyone but refuse to fight Polish-Lithuanian winged hussars. The winged hussars were unbeaten for long indeed, haven't lost a battle in over a hundred years. Unfortunately, saving Vienna was the last great victory of that unique best ever heavy cavalry.

Respect to Poland and all what they did for Europe from Spain 🇪🇸🇵🇱

As a Turk, I don't feel bad. Poland later had the most powerful soldiers in Europe. Respect Poland.

This is how it feels when the PE teacher joins the losing team

VERY satisfying to watch. Jan Sobieski is truly, even now, a HERO. We need another like him these days.

The costumes look nice, but they have obviously no idea how combat worked in those days.

Polish people are truly warriors, much respect from Brazil!

+Where is the Polish diplomat? -The Polish diplomat is on his way.

Thank you Poland ❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️

I'm Polish and I'm drinking Sobieski vodka while watching this video.

Hero from Europe, ďakujeme poľskí bratia

Poland : help Austria Austria : born Adolf hitler

Huge respect to Poland from Austria. 🇵🇱🤝🇦🇹 Vienna would've stood no chance without help of you and the HRE. And sorry about the partitions, but Austria had no other choice as Russia and Prussia were still too strong combined, and we only joined to keep the balance of Europe. Our chancellor Metternich also tried his best to restore the 1780s Polish borders in 1815, but Russia and Prussia rejected this, nearly went to war with Austria (see Polish-Saxon Crisis) and only accepted a semi-autonomous Polish state. But at least Poles enjoyed autonomy later in Austria-Hungary, unlike in Prussia/Germany and especially Russia. Speaking of Russia, it's good that you guys are heavily investing your military to deter the Russian imperialist aggressors who invaded Ukraine and used to oppress your people for centuries.

As Hungarian I'm proud of my Polish brothers

He saved Europe from the Turks... and today, no one seems to know of him. This should be taught in schools.

Polish had been fighting the Tartars since 1200 so they knew not to mess with the Polish Hussaria!!

And the winged hussars arrived

Fun fact the Ottoman Empire was the only country which was against the partition of Poland :) Thanks for that !

Poland and Turkey fought against each other but also fought together against common enemy. but always respected one another. greetings from Poland to Turkey

"Are you afraid?" "No... father..." "It's your first charge. Don't be ashamed of being afraid." ~ 2:50

the comments are just filled with poles and turks respecting each other, i love it, respect to both these nations from the Netherlands!

What Poland did will never be forgotten. I will always have a soft spot for Poland in my heart. Love from USA.

As a Turkish, its sad the Polish saved germans but then destroyed by germans too. And Turks were the only country against it. Sultan accepted Polish immigrants and gave them land in Istanbul.

Tantos heróis derramaram o próprio sangue pelo cristianismo na Europa. Mas hoje a maioria abandonou a fé. Deus abençoe o povo da Polônia.

God bless Poland and still defending European and Christian values to this day.

The Winged Hussars arrived 335 years ago today. “We remember, in September the night Vienna was freed! We made the enemy bleed, AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!”

All Europe owe Poland a lot...But they will not say this loud

Poland is like that hard working friend when you show it but when time flies, *they just seem to forget it*

Sadge Respect Poland from Turkey.

The polish winged hussar got the coolest armor!

WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!

There was a death penalty for selling a hussar horse to someone outside of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. (From the wiki) That's how important this breed of horses were to how the hussars operated.

The Turks have always been a strong nation. The Poles suffered many misfortunes from them. Poles brave always and everywhere showed their sword and won the battle. However, the Turks turned out to be honorable. In the light of Turkish time, it all looks different. Poland, a country of freedom and struggle. Türkiye is a country that sees and understands.

We remember In september When the winged hussars arrived 8)

Poland huge place in my serbian heart ...

Victory in the name of Jesus Christ

Poland seriously saved the entirety of western and Christian civilization.

Turks were the most honourable of all enemies we have fought with. They respected us for our fighting prowess and were the only country that did not accept the partitions of Poland. At one point Kemal Mustafa Ataturk played a Polish anthem to Russian ambassadors and ordered them to stand up. He always kept an empty table for the envoys of Lechistan (Poland). Turkey allowed our artists, generals and refugees to flee to their country after we have been destroyed by the people whom we've saved not more than 100 years earlier. Thank you to all proud Turks for taking care of Adampol and our Christian graveyards there. It shows more respect than we have ever received from any of our neighbours or from Western Europe. You will never be slandered by our people. From Poland.

Poland: I’ll help my fellow German neighbors from the Turks what could possibly go wrong??? Germans and Russians: *allow us to introduce ourselves*

Poland Have Been Fighting Very HARD for freedom and freedom for EU, we will never forget what Polish people done to help Croats at Vienna, Love to our Brothers Poland 😄🙂🇭🇷❤️🇵🇱

This happened exactly 333 years ago today.

Respect from Turkey! 🇹🇷🇵🇱 Unfortunately, this war prepared the end of Poland. Because Europeans always saw Poland as a buffer state against Ottomans. No Ottoman threats means no need for Poland. Even tough after partition of Poland by Austria, Prussia and Russia; Ottoman Empire always recognized Poland. It is documented that in every annual invitation of all ambassadors, our grand vizier asks them, “Where is your Polish colleague? I couldn’t see him today!” and it is narrated that Sultan asks the grand vizier where the Poland ambassador is when he accepted other ambassadors and every time vizier answers in a tone of voice that every European ambassadors can hear, “He is on the way! He is just late because of some difficulties on the road.” This lasts 127 years! It is also known that after 1848, Poles failed uprising against Russia, Ottoman Empire took refugees that are made up of Polish and Hungarian nobles and officers and refused to turn them to Russia at the risk of messing up international relations with Russia. It happened so. After negotiations that is lasted for years, Russia is accepted this with the aid of England and France. After Hitler invade Poland, the German ambassador wants Poland embassy building according to Anschluss agreement like Czechoslovakia embassy building which is given before. However, his wish is rejected by our prime minister Ismet Pasha who said “We have a traditional friendship with Poland. In past, those days when Poland is partitioned, Turkey is waited for a Poland ambassador for 150 years. I can’t get down our Poland friends for a short time now. Turkey won’t indulge your wish by no manner of means!” So German ambassador, Von Paper, had to watch the Poland flag, which can be seen easily from his office, all along WW2. I believe we shared the same destiny with Poland, so I feel very close to them. Peace out! ✌️

Mexico 🇲🇽 Poland 🇵🇱 ❤ turkey 🇹🇷 my brothers

Honor and respect from Italy to our catholic brothers from Poland 🇮🇹🇵🇱

Respect to Turkey/Ottoman Empire from Poland/Lehistan! You once were our proud opponents, but never enemies. We know that you were the only ones who didn't recognize the partitions of Poland... your warrior's pride didn't let you do it. :)

Poland lives forever in the hearts of her people.

Uratowaliśmy im życie a oni nam pięknie podziękowali 100 lat później rozbierając Polskę trzy razy.

I LOVE POLAND

Battle lost to a respectable enemy. Greetings from Turkey to Polish people. You have an admirable history

Poland is my favorite country Respect from the States 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇱

12 September 2020. 337 years later. And i saw few words. As a Pole i have respect to Turkey-honourable enemy. Thank you for being an opponent you did not agree a partions of Poland. And of course i dont have respect to germany and austria-this is propably known. Greatings to Turkey from Poland 🇵🇱🇹🇷

Polonia salvadora de Europa durante muchos años!

Poland save Austria in 1680, 100 years after - Austria killed Poland

Thank you Poland , from France!

I think this quote just screams Poland. "Because we don't beg for freedom, we fight for it."

The coolest thing about this battle is that it really was like a movie in the sense that they arrived at the last possible moment. If they had arrived one day later, vienna would have fallen. These things happen very rarely in reality.

We owe the poles much. Years later in 1920 they'd stop Lenin from taking Europe. We owe them much

Costume budget 200'000 euros Special effects budget ---> 5 dollars (Liberian)

W podziękowaniu zrobili nam rozbiory Polski!!!

Respect Poland from the United Kingdom

The winged hussars arrived to save Europe from destruction! Greetings from Spain to our polish brothers!

Litwa ❤Polska...Forever! ✌👊

Es una pena que países como Polonia o España no tengan el reconocimiento que merecen por haber enfrentado y repelido a los otomanos tantas veces, salvando a la Europa cristiana, mientras otros traidores como Inglaterra o Francia se llevan todo el crédito

Wings like the angles of death, horses like demons, strike fear in thier enemies hearts!!!! Greetings from the Netherlands to our polish brothers!

Old enemies new friends Love you polish brothers and sisters.Greetings from Turkey

Thank you Poland for protecting Europa. You'll never be forgoten.

They are not like Ottoman Charactes and costumes. They look like Hunnic and Arabic soldiers they never look like Turks
