Line Of Fire | Waterloo | Full Documentary 

Extremely well done folks, thank you

22:51 Sorry, that's not the gate ! You'd think with all these famous historians, someone would have pointed that out to the script writer and narrator. The North gate was the one famously closed. Not the most correct documentary on the battle, but gets enough right to continue watching.

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about the infamous waterloo battle 1815 ... video focused on a line of fire 🔥 of that battle...thank you ( the war channel) for sharing

It’s such a coincidence that Napoleon met his Waterloo at Waterloo…I mean, come on, what are the odds of that happening!?

I have visited the Gettysburg battlefield, of the American civil war) and it also has that air of being holy ground.

There have been many analyses made of this battle Is this the best ? Pretty close. Thanks to all involved.

if Grouchy protected the right flank instead of chasing the Prussians things would of been different

Oh Lordy Those Beautiful Horse's, Such Glory, Hoopla Hoopla!. Brandy?.

Not hugely lumbered with detail, but _comprehensive!_ *congrats* ^5

I Love ABBA

Excuse me correction, the battle of quatre bras was fought by the Prince of Orange and the Dutch armies without Wellington knowing about it. The Dutch Prince made Waterloo possible by holding the French at quatre brass and sending envoys to Brussels where Wellington was having a luxurious party. The French troops had to divert to Waterloo and Wellington had to hurry his plans. Later in the actual battle the Dutch General Chasse ignored Wellingtons orders and charged his cavalry to save the British flank. That's why there's a big mount on the battle field with a Dutch lion on top. Only days after the battle Wellington dismissed Dutch affords and ignored the Dutch royals so they (in Wellingtons words) demolished his battle field with that preposterous monument. 😂 anyway, Wellington was a great Irish strategist who won Waterloo but he wouldn't be no where without the Dutch. Thought I mention that for some extra info.

I hate being cold and wet . At lease when i go deer hunting they do not try to kill me . 😂

Most of Napoleon's experience troops we're dead by this time so Napoleon did not have the advantage of a more experienced Army

Every 4th British can't help themselves

Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 i am from Belgium 🇧🇪 waterloo is in Belgium 🇧🇪 go and see waterloo and you get to see the real thing here John

Napoleon was no more "despotic" than any european monarch - he was just seen as an embodiment of the French revolution, an outsider and challenge to the old older because he threatened their absolutism.

Who's the English fella with grey suit and glasses? I can't find a name/title, no matter how much I search...

👍

Weren’t all the belligerents despotic? It was by no means a grand army and hadn’t been since the thumping in Russia.

Which Legion Is That?......."Oh It's my German Legion"

"Belgian troops"? Belgium was only founded in 1830

A bit tilted towards out British friends:-)

As usual no mention of the attack on the French Emperial guards by general Chassee or the bravery of the German troops (other than the Prussians). Always the same story told over and over again by British "historians" who claim Waterloo as a victory solely gained by British troops with a litte help of the Prussians. The battle didn't even take place at Waterloo but at Mont St. Jean. Wellington changed it to the battle of nearby Waterloo because the actual name sounded too French. Now we can't have that can we?

And all of those bodies were dug up and turned into fertilizer

Another smart arse telling us about us.

Oh dear…. If you didn’t know about the mythical British performance at the battle of Waterloo, you’re at the “right” place. If you’re looking for the true story, look somewhere else.

It was good but they missed out so much detail and a very important point , half of Wellington 's army was gone well before the end, the deutsch and Belgium troops all ran
