@pedroretamal4827 Thanks a lot for the comment. Greetings from Germany. Mind the final sequence in the video that shows Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, the "Red Baron" in his red-painted WWI combat aircraft.
I live in Germany and my French teacher is also a history teacher. So recently in a video conference I just played Preußens Gloria out of fun and she laughed her ass off! Brilliant!
@@Rick2010100 Well in the region where I live, we have a festival which celebrates the old militias which protected our towns in the times of the holy Roman Empire. Think of it as Oktoberfest but with a military-twist. ;) That‘s why this march so wildly known in Western-Germany. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xWeB2f7o1ZY.html Note - It‘s never too late to reply to someone

It's very rare for me to see a German who loves his country, despite the wars that happened several decades ago. Because some Germans nowadays doesn't have the sense of Nationalism or Patriotism, rather, some are embarrassed or ashamed of their own identity as a whole nation. *Good to See you in here! :)*
I'm Turkish and my grandfather was Ottoman Empire officer in Iraq Front. He was told they're fought with German soldiers against British army in southern Ottoman Empire and German soldiers were very brave. I respect German soldiers and their memories, military tradition (Preussen Ecolé) too. ❤

that was the military education in the german empire and not that funny how it looks. kids only played with war elements and got educated only to war and military. and people wonder why they wanted to get in the army in ww2 when they were older...

Es gab 4 große Kriege in unserer Vergangenheit. Der 7-jahres krieg = begonnen von den Briten Napoleanische Kriege = begonnen von Frankreich 1. weltkrieg = begonnen von Russland 2. Weltkrieg = begonnen von Deutschland Den ersten haben die Briten gewonnen und haben die Franzosen verantwortlich gemacht. Ebenso hat man Frankreich für Napoleons kriege verantwortlich gemacht. Der 1. Weltkrieg: Russland war mit den Siegern verbündet, deshalb wurde Österreich Ungarn arm gemacht und Deutschland wurde verantwortlich gemacht um schön die Kohle abzukassieren ( vertrag von Versailles). und der 2. Weltkrieg wurde ( zurecht) auf Deutschland abgewälzt. Wenn wir aber GANZ GENAU HINSCHAUEN, dann hat der 2. Weltkrieg nicht Deutschland begonnen, sondern mal wieder die Briten. Deutschland startete eine Invasion auf Polen und GB hat darauf hin den Krieg erklärt. Technisch gesehen sind wir für GAR KEINEN KRIEG VERANTOWRTLICH.

Fortunately someone reuploaded this video. The original video from Miyaps was being flagged by RU-vid......WTF? Why is this always being associated with Nazism? It's rare piece of imperial history from 100 years ago.
PREUßENS GLORIA! This is an absurd claim which can be refuted by many Prussian defeats! Prussia's only remarkable achievement was to force the other small German states into a union. Prussia was able to do this because Prussia was the strongest small German states of the various small German states. Prussia is wrongly called a great power of that time. Prussia was never a great power! This is illustrated by the defeats in the Seven Years' War, when Prussia was only lucky to survive. It was only by the mercy of Russian Empire that Prussia survived at all. The fact that Prussia became a puppet state of the French Empire at the beginning of the 19th century also clearly shows that Prussia was not a great power. The Prussian army lost decisive battles against both Russia and France. Besides, Prussia was also not a great power in the war against France 1870/1, because if Prussia had been a great power, Prussia would have dared to go to war against France alone. But since Prussia was not a great power, Prussia only dared war against France with the support of the other German dwarf monarchs. It also shows clearly that Prussia was not a great power, that Prussia sent an army of only 1000 men to fight against Poland. This small ridiculous Prussian army was then defeated by a far superior in number Polish army in the Battle of Bromberg in 1794. Prussia was unable to fight Poland alone and could only hold onto the small Polish territories with the support of the Russian Empire. If Prussia had been a great power, Prussia would have been able to defeat Poland on its own, but in fact the Russian Empire won most battles against Poland. The Russian Empire defeated Poland, not Prussia! Here are some Prussian army defeats that show that the Prussian army was certainly not invincible. But these are not all Prussian defeats. These are some defeats of the Prussian armies in the 18th century. Battle of Cassano (1705) Battle of Kolín 1757! Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf 1757! Battle of Moys 1757! Battle of Breslau 1757! Battle of Fehrbellin 1758 Battle of Kunersdorf in 1759! Battle of Meissen 1759! Battle of Maxen 1759! Battle of Landeshut in 1760! Battle of Valmy 1792 These are some defeats of the Prussian army in the 19th century. Twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806! Battle of Saalfeld 1806! Battle of Luebeck 1806! Battle of Lützen (1813) Battle of Bautzen 1813 Battle of Dresden 1813 Battle of Brienne 1814 Battle of Montmirail (1814) Battle of Château-Thierry 1814 Battle of Vauchamps 1814 Battle of Craonne 1814 battle of ligny 1815
By the way, Prussia was a catastrophe for Europe! It would have been better for Europe if Prussia had either been destroyed or decisively weakened. Because Prussia was the strongest of the German small states, which forced most of the German small states into a German union. This union together with the German small states outside this union was strong enough to defeat the French. The result of this victory was the establishment of a United German State. Without this unified German state, neither World War I nor World War II would have happened. This united nation would not have had the opportunity to commit various genocides. If Prussia had not existed and thus also no unified Germany, then there would not have been also almost 50 years of communist oppression for half of the European nations. Because the communist rule over the areas of the fallen Russian Empire as a result of the 1st World War would never have existed.. So neither did the later successes of the communists. The communist victory was the result of the First World War. The 2nd World War also started through united Germany and as a result of the 2nd World War, the communists could occupy half of Europe and force the naions there to embrace communism. So NO world wars, NO genocides, NO immeasurable destruction and NO strong communism. That would be the result of the destruction or considerable weakening of Prussia. Because Prussia made this German state possible in the first place. That was actually the only relevant achievement by Prussia! Unfortunately, when the Poles had the opportunity to do so, they did not destroy Prussia! Too bad for Europe! Others also had the opportunity to destroy Prussia or to weaken it decisively. The French and the Russians. Unfortunately they didn't use the opportunity to destroy Prussia either.

So wunderbar, wie es auch gloreich ist - Mehr braucht man nicht zu sagen. Heil unserem ehemaligen Preußenland und großen Respekt an unsere historischen Helden, wie dem Roten Baron und allen anderen.
Man, where are the times where you go down the street in your uniform and your saber on your belt and your fancy mustache, come by a group of ladies. They smile and make a curtsey towards you. Some parfume finds it's way into your nose. You greet them by taking off your Pickelhaube. Damn, where are those times?
Most of you who comment things like these would probably working from dawn to dusk in a factory, or begging in the strrets. Only those with noble blood could do that.
@@DarkPsy No no, he's got a point.. I mean, I could see this happening as an enlisted man, so minus the saber, but otherwise... Yeah, but what you said is actually what got them to enlist. The gentlemanly heroism, the ladies, the glory. It was nice, and it was the thing that inspired so many young men to hop on the bandwagon. It truly is enticing, but compared to the horrors of actual warfare, I'm sure many of them would choose to stay home. A factory doesn't seem all too bad when you think of the horrors of the Great War.
@Landser 1916 This is about political opinions, and in a battle of opinions, no one is correct. I think, as is in real life, that you can aspire to be what you want to be. The scenario this man described is what enticed so many young German men to enlist in the first place, but one must realize that war brings death, and death is not something to be wished.
@@DarkPsy Yes, that is very true. However, in my own opinion, I think that the short-lived glory and glee of a soldier's life would be *by far* outweighed by the actual fighting itself, so I personally would stay home. The life of a soldier as you described would be ideal, but we sadly do not live in an ideal world where soldiers twirl mustaches and wink at well-dressed ladies. Not anymore, at least. In the end, soldiers are meant for killing and protecting the interests and freedoms of one's homeland, and conquering others if ordered to. When he is not doing the aforementioned mustache-twirling and women-wooing, he is a brutal and effective killing machine, bred for taking the lives of his country's enemies. The glory of it is nice, and I often feel the same way you do about this, but actual warfare itself is so horrible, I'd personally rather stay at home. However. If I was one of those happy-go-lucky young German men in 1914 or 1870, filled with the legends that you described, I would probably want to join, *or* if my own home country was being invaded or my family in danger, then yes, I would enlist. Otherwise, though, I wouldn't. The idea of dying for a noble cause like you said is actually very honorable, and I would do the same, if needed. I also think the days gone by that you've described would be absolutely lovely, where soldiers are gentlemen and war is a myth, but sadly, reality must step in. There were times when this illusion was reality, however. *Those* are the times I believe you are referring to. And in that case, yes, they were good times, for the most part. It's a shame the world can't be at peace enough to have this dream become reality again. Thank you, sorry for the sermon. I do hope you can understand. Tschüss! :)

@@Pmartin7254 Survivors of the Prussian genocide and ethnic cleansing of East Germans formed colonies in South America. Many Russians who sided with Germany were also among the Germans who had to flee to the colonies to escape the ethnic cleansing, my family came to America cause the US government basically imported various Germans to America after WW2 I know this because my family is Russian and they fought for Germany against communists in the Baltics (the real evil and the real enemy). Before WW2 my family were Imperial Russia loyalists and white government supporters (the real Russia) and white army veterans. During WW2 various Russians who were still living in Russia also sided with Germany to try liberating Russia from the red illness. They took over the banners of the Kornilov regiment, and were known as the new White army (basically Russian Nationalists who formed a resistance against bolsheviks) My family and many other Russians were given shelter by Imperial Germany (Prussia) and went to live in the Baltics, those Russians had to flee when Bolsheviks perpetrated the coup d'etat after murdering Tzar Nicholas and his family, a great, generous and God fearing man, and began persecuting and killing various people in Russia. They also have Pomeranian colonies in brazil and Argentina

Meine Großeltern und meine Großmütter sind in Preußen geboren. Mein Urgroßvater am Ende seines Lebens, fast 100 Jahre alt, sagte 1986, er habe die besten Erinnerungen an die Zeit seines Lebens in den Jahren 1890-1914. Er würde gerne in diese Zeit zurückgehen, auch wenn er weiß, dass zwei Weltkriege und der polnisch-bolschewistische Krieg in Sicht sind. Während des polnisch-bolschewistischen Krieges wurde ihm der Virtuti Militari-Orden 5. Klasse verliehen.
The german aristocrats and advisors in Vienna pressured Kaser Franz to declare war, it WAS the germans. Thats why people sometimes blame germans for ww1, to which smart idiots say that it was the austrains, completely neglecting that austrians are germans.

I am a Frenchman, and I have great respect for the German music and military marches. They were far from being all nazi tunes. Should the music of Beethoven, Bach, Schumann, Schubert, Wagner, Mozart and so many others banned, because they were Germans ? During the 1870 and 1914-1918, many German soldiers and officers were from jewish religion (100 000 during WWI). And they chanted these songs with the same pride as their christian (or just non believing) comrades.
Exactly! My great grandfather was a Jewish soldier in WW1 who immigrated to the USA after the monarchy was overthrown. The German Empire was tolerant of Jews, and it was because of the Weimar Republic and populism that led to the holocaust and ww2. Even Frederick III went to Jewish weddings to help combat Anti-Semitism.
@@nahtatroll And the Kaiser Wilhelm II was disgusted by the antisemitic laws of Hitler, hoping that a military rising would happen. Wilhelm II often stated that the Jews had been Germans like the others, and often among the best ones.
@McClernand...ur right, the pussian military marches are far away from nazifascism. But all those aggressive tunes (and lyrics from march-songs) show nothing but a primitive ooompa-ooompa maeching rhythm. To sounds like that, german soldiers invaded your country WITHOUT any reason. So it was in 1870 as well as in 1914, killing hundreds of thousand CIVILIANS, innocent women, kids, old people !!! There were jewish soldiers in both armies, I agree. They were as just misguided as all the other of their comrades. It´s a difference to be proud of an army, of soldiers and the own military, concerning what these soldiers did in the past: DEFENDING the own country or invading and conquering other countries. My ancestors did nothing but invading and conquering other countries, WITHOUT any reason !!! No Serbians, no French, no British, no Polish, no Belgians ( just to mention a few) threatened Germany in 1870 or 1914 or 1939 !!! That are FACTS !!!

We have to fight to keep what we have and get back what we lost. Europe must not fall! Vote AfD, National Rally, Lega Nord, FPÖ,PiS, Partaí Naisunta, Party for Freedom etc. Let’s save and rebuild Europe for Europeans
@@macpeepeepoopoo7567 That's a little bit funny that you compare AFD to PiS. I mean I know that most of Europe is saying about PiS that this is far-right but this is not true. PiS is center-right party with socialistic type of economy. Of course they are against LGBT but they really do nothing to stop them. We in Poland have some problems in politics. I think that better Polish party for that comparison would be Konfederacja(Coalition of monarchists, libertarian and national camp) They are the most right party in our country. PiS is simmiliar maybe to PCD in France and Fidesz in Hungary. In Poland being really right-wing party is very difficult. 50 years of communism made his work. But in Poland current we don't have definition of right-wing. Our current ruling party is trying to be like Sanacja and Polish Socialist party from times before war. PPS in that times was leftist but they were also the biggest opossition to communism so most of our succesful right politicans have bonds with PPS. So that's why rightist parties in Poland are caling PiS communist or leftist and leftist parties are caling them dictator rulership. PiS is everything xD But I have news, in elections from people in age 18-29. Konfederacja have at least 30% Lewica (Left) have at least 30% and PiS with civil platform have both more than 15% So we surely will have ideological war...
Cully Schmetterling This lead Europe into the Great War. Not a good thing to repeat. We should be proud that we stopped fighting each over after centuries of war.
