Alright, alright, the video is great and all, but we should sit and take a moment to talk about the siege of ratisbonne.
Lannes called for the first assault, which crushed into the Austrian defense, massacred by grapeshots fired by the heavy cannons on top of the wall.
He then called for another wave of volunteers To the bravest of the brave Morand Division.
When nobody answered the calls, hesitating on the bodies of the first wave, he dismounted. Furious, he grabbed a ladder, and began running for the walls. He was intercepted by his general staff.
-Out of my way, he said. I will show them that I was once a grenadier, and that I still am!
-No sir. We would be dishonored, if you were to take the smallest wound before we were all dead.
Seeing that their Marshall was arguing with his general staff to lead the assault, a great shout rose through the ranks of the Morand division. Grenadier, sergeants and troopers fought each other to lead the assault.
Ratisbonne fell the next hour.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. To those whom God has called, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Mr.
There is actually a verydisturbing story about Lannes and tzhe death of his very good frieand and mentir Pouzet who was a brigade genarl in st Hilaires division: As Lannes was talking to Pouzet a cannonball decapitated him leaving Lannes shocked, he went to the back to recover from this big blow and as he was sitting there another cannonball smashed his legs. His ADC orderd some french troops who were carrying a dead soldier on a stretcher to dummp the corpse and carry Lannes instead but as they dumped the body Lannes recognized the headless corpse of his friend Pouzet and refused to leave it behind.

quite pathetic to say austrian army and austrians in general when real austrians made up only idk 10% of the population in the austrian empire
and for the army. also was made up of like 8% austrians which rarely were regular troopers but rather the higher ranks (officers, generals, commanders) and the main share were bohemians, hungarians, and many more haha
but thats how it rolled back then, absolutism rocks babeey

I think it's funny that during the great northern war, Swedish King Karl XII was shot in the foot and had to stand on a stretcher for several days, while Napoleon also took a shot in the foot during the siege of the walled city of Regensburg, but this only proved to be just a superficial wound. That's proof that if you wanted to take Napoleon down, you'd need a lot more than a single bullet.

The average percentages of fatal casualties has been one in seven, 15%, since time immemorial, this includes the gladiator fights. A young man had a chance of 6 to 7 to come out relatively unscathed from a battle. This is why there is no human instinct to avoid battle and many consider it fun. If casualties would have been 6 in 7, or 85%, nobody would obey an order to advance in battle.

When I was a Junior in High School, for my history class project I was assigned to write a report on Napoleon's military campaigns. At first I thought, Cool! A report on 2 or 3 battles and I can wrap it up with Waterloo. Once I found out the number and scope of battles I had to research and write about, I started to hate Napoleon as much as the Austrians did.

Arch Duke Charles is underrated, literally the only coalition commander to beat Napoleon 1 on 1 with just his own army, and gave him a very hard time even in defeat. France was at her most powerful in 1809 too, it was foolish to sack Charles, he was the first to best Napoleon at his height in a fairly even battle.

This is weird. There are Metro-stations and tramway-lines in those places now, and the Lobau is a nice place to hike and cycle, in fact, just in front of the house I live in there is a Metro-line and would I enter it, I'd be in Leopoldau in half an hour Weird, just weird, in the best sense of the word.

You used Beethoven's Egmont Overture, a theme dedicated to an account of Goethe's piece on the Dutch Independence war against Phillip II of Spain -- AKA The Eighty Years War. Was there a connection to that war with this battle or did you use it because the Egmont Overture just sounds cool?

How come there is nothing about Sergeant Sharpe killing 3 dragoons in 10 seconds, to save Wellington's life and Wellington granting a field commission to promote Sergeant Sharpe to an Officer, and then go on to lead the all important 95th Rifles.
Over the hills, and far away.

when crossing the danube, and likewise rivers on relatively flat terrain that has a lot of pockets, whats holding back the enemy to cannon the bridges after a portion of the army crosses, therefore isolating and trapping them in the river islands?

This should be a strategy game. Paradox, a napoleonic game inspired by this series would be immense! Where you can control your corps in a battle. It would make for Deep immersion and great multiplayer experiences!

Thanks for mentioning Tyrol. Franz was a bad Kaiser, he was jealous of both his brothers (Karl and Johann) which led to no or miscommunication. Tyrol and the Austrian Army had to suffer because of it.

I am very sorry the death of Jean Lannes. However, Napoleon suffered a disastrous defeat of his old enemy in Wagram and took his revenge very painfully. You explained very well, I congratulate you.

Actually, Napoleon Bonaparte was not only an emperor of France but also a brave hero. Fighting was his main habit. So he could not stay anywhere for living peacefully.

It always surprises me its called; countries copied Frances army. They all copied Romes late reform legions. Napoleon was a great admirer of Gaius Julius Caesar.

Even though the Austrians won that battle I feel like if the roles were reversed that would have demolished them. It was by no means an easy win for austria

Napoleon crossing the Danube River was obviously a blunder move. He probably didn't expect Austrian could come up with a strategy to punish his move.
