- Dear viewers. The other day I remembered that sometime a long time ago, I posted the Battle of Stäket video on CZcams. I can't remember the thinking behind putting it there, maybe someone wanted all involved associates to see it. Anyway, imagine my surprise when it had almost 300K views. And as I'm writing this, it has reached 355K.
The film was produced by Christian Arnet and Svea Television, commissioned by the battle field museum 'Hamn' (that's 'harbour' in Swedish). It is projected on to an almost 180° screen in a circular room by three overlapping projectors, and the idea was to let the audience have some small feeling for what it might have been like to take part in the Battle of Staket 1719.
The battle field museum is located in the Stockholm archipelago, almost exactly one nautical mile from where the fighting took place and as for the actual events during those days in July of 1719, a good place to start if you want to find out more is the Wikipedia article (if you can't visit the museum in Fisksätra yourself of course).
I will only mention that this is the closest any Russian force ever got to the Swedish capitol, and it is doubtful whether they actually wanted to push for Stockholm, had they won the battle. The events at Stäket was part of an operation more designed to force the peace negotiations between Sweden and Russia in Russian favour, rather than actually being an invasion.
The action scenes were shot during one day in June 2013. I used a Canon 5DMkII on a shoulder rig and (as I recall) mainly three lenses, the Canon 24-105, a Sigma 300 and a Sigma fisheye. Post production was done in fcpx, Motion, and I also made some use of blender 3D, I think. Live pyrotechnics by Bo Knarrström and props by Uniform Collection - that is, all garment and utensils that wasn't supplied by the reenactors themselves.
Thank you all for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Great video no stupid music like in almost every battle scene done by everyone who has ever done them. This is the way to do it I give this a 10!!!
It's a reanactment done for swedish television with the help of swedish, finnish and russian reanactors =)
Music spoils EVERY film of EVERY genre.
Oh, this was quite good! I rarely like videos but this gets one. I like how it's mostly first person but not overly much and shows things from one side, it's gritty and realistic, the trepidation, the defense, the assault, the regroup, the ending, the beginning. Really solid stuff. Now as usual, time to go wikipedia the battle :p
One of the more realistic battles I've seen. Wish Hollywood could be this good!!
This clip is shown at my work at the battlefield museum HAMN when ever we are open
Excellent job! Now i want to go to Stäket see this monument and this place!
Good job making this vid guys!
This footage was either made by or given to the HAMN battle museum in Stockholm. It is a small museum dedicated to this exact battle and the archeological artifacts found there. It’s a pretty cool museum to see
Kul att se den! Bra blev den.
6:17 that matchlock is a great detail
Helt fantastiskt bra liten film.
I would like to see a documentary on the Great Northern War.
Me too
Watch Battle of Fraustadt 1706, it's still on CZcams with English subtitles I believe unless they have removed it. Very fascinating stuff.
Very moving. The horror and fear of war. Felt real
Great! Very realistic battle scene I think
just Amazing short movie! ! make more!
Överraskande bra video! Snyggt filmat! Gör lite om skånska krigen också,tack!
A good foundation for imagining the real thing. Add the damage that musket ball would do in such situations and range, with heads being the most available targets. Never mind dying, imagine your injured comrades around you; wounds likely would not have been "neat" little holes with a little blood. The sights and smells of ordure. And when your enemies breached your defenses, they would've done a lot worse that rifling through your belongings.
Great!
Wow. Very well made.
Looks so great.
Not a single cellphone in sight, just boys being boys, enjoying some classic IRL PKing ☺
Väldigt väll gjord, vem är det som har regisserad filmen?
i didn't know that they had go pro in 1719 . And it is 1080 HD
This is an amazing resource
This was very well done. I just cant understand why the swedes would choose to defend the low ground? Did they really do that?
I don't know if they did it on purpose there, but there might be occasions you might wanna do this, especially when faking a retreat as a bait.
1) You lure the enemy to attack in pursuit by a quickly broke off skirmish
2) Retreat back right behind a slope, concealed from enemy vision.
3) Form a firing line with enough concentrated fire
4) Let them come so that they are silhoueted against the sky, making perfect targets.
5) Fire the massed volley as you are prefered and the enemy is not.
If the enemy has the sun in the face it's even a better tactic. This tactic is more effective with more modern weaponry, but doing it with muskets and cannons at 60-50 yards could be devastating too.
Amazing!!! Sad that with so many views only very few choose to sub...
Fantastic stuff.
Swedes are very brave
A surprise Russian attack from the sea resulted in a battle (skirmish) with a local detatcement "Södermanlands Regemente" on the 13th of august. 1200 Swedish soldiers defended good ground against 3000 Russian soldiers (more in reserve but never used in the battle). After an entire day of fighting the Swedes fell back towards their reinforcements in forms of the "Västmanland Regemente" and Dalaregementet", when the Swedes counter attacked the Russians retreated and in the cover of darkness they boarded their ships again.
Sweden had about 100 cassaulties and the Russian between 400-500. It is debated today if Sweden won at all since dead bodies were plundered by the Russians, and it seems more to have been disemarked baval men rather than an actual army unit who had attacked. But in either way it is deemed to have been a Swedish victory non the less.
See, descriptions like this are good. Not nationalist for or against any side. Good summary of events.
Är det så som Carl den tolfte förlorade alla sin arme i Pultava och hela Finland (Österland) var under ryska krigståget och så många var tog i slaveriet, Ni svek oss. Såsom i 1808 då Kungen kunde inte skicka inga bataljoner för att hjälpa Finland. Vi var nästan 700 år samma riket och Ni svek oss.
@@Vanhaeno Sverige skickade visst trupper till östra rikshalvan (Finland) under 1808-09 års krig. Att sedan fler behölls i väst än nödvändigt för att se till att Danmark-Norge inte invaderade är en annan sak. Hade inte Cronstedt överlämnat Sveaborg till ryssarna och fler trupper skickats till Finland kunde det gått annorlunda, men det är bara stora "om".
It should be added that the russian force was a scouting force rather than an invasion force. But if they hadn't encountered swedish resistance at Stäket, who knows what would have happened.
@@AstralWalkerOne Hej ! Jag menade, ett Gustaf IV Adolf (Gustaf III son) lämnade Östland (=Finland) ensam, då ryska trupperna attackerade februari 1808. Vi hade nästan 700 år gemensamma historia och allt var borta 1809. Jag menade inte såra vårt granland. Vad Du säger är sant. Hälsningar från Helsingfors.
which movie?
Very effective and very sad.... even dying with the thought " What the heck am I doing here?"
A film based on Frans Bengtsson´s book THE LIFE OF KARL XII would really be something.
Good film.
Is this actually footage from the battle?
Hahahaha
This was treated.
Pan Aaronowski iunáitede
tsssh !
Yes it was filmed with Samsung Galaxy S5 they've been around quite bit, but not a lot people know that!
This is so cool. Is this short film or a clip from movie? Also english subtitles would be great, if anyone could translate :)
Lyhytelokuva, takuulla. Ja ainakin yhessä kohtaa huudettiin että "ryssät tulee!" :D "Ryssarna kommer" tjsp.
This is the entire clip, Short film made by russian and swedish reenactors
Janteroo :D
Is this from a movie? If it is, what's the name of it?
2:52 Svordom? Det blev väl gatlopp för hans del? :D
Наши гренадеры воевали не числом, а умением. Здесь изображены гренадеры. Наши солдаты в то время были несвободны. Они служили 25 лет. Вся их жизнь была война. Вражеская форма им была не нужна. Где они в шведской форме будут ходить? Кому они вражескую форму продадут? Коллекционерам?) Брали только обувь и алкоголь. Даже золото солдаты не брали, негде хранить и повесить могут. Всех живых шведов брали в плен, чтобы потом обменять на своих. Я даже встречался у нас с потомками пленных шведов, которые остались в России и стали русскими. Переведите это шведам.
Чтоб русские когда-то умением воевали? Зачем солдата учить если он несвободен и все равно пойдет на войну. А сказки, что солдаты воюют за идею это чушь. Воины всегда видели войну способом если не выйти в люди, то хоть мародёрством что-то поиметь. Убить врага, захватить его землю, его имущество и его женщин. А война за медальки это для школьных учебников.
@@dream459 "Чтоб русские когда-то умением воевали" - например Суворов при Рымнике с 25 тыс. русских и австрийцев против 70 тыс. турок
@@user-in2jr1xe2o ну я тебе нарву вспомню, ну и что? Это как-то историю поменяет? Или настоящее?
@@dream459 ты усомнился в способности русских воевать умением, а не числом. Я ответил.
In reality, a close quarter skirmish like that wouldn’t devolve into both sides standing and exchanging close range volleys, the Russians would have got close, unleashed 1 or 2 volleys, then charged with bayonet and go into close combat, they’d probably have smaller units attempting to flank too. It is still a really good scene, but exchanging volleys with an enemy that is entrenched and you’re in the open wouldn’t happen for long, in such circumstances closing the distance was the usual method.
The shooting going on in background is what is always missing from pre 19th century war films
Какой это фильм, кто может подсказать?
so cool and almost realistic . story of sweden soldier in 1702
zboi 1719
It is a reenactment.
I just realized the movies name's probably the name of the battle.
Well done, excellent creative decisions. I just don't understand why they were defending from the low ground.
I thought it an awesome depiction of the realities of war-be it two hundred years ago or enow.
Or three hundred years, as 1719 was 301 years ago.
Why would they not take some sort of high ground ?
What movie?
Is this a movie?
Wow cameras were good in 1719
All this info except........... what about the battle?
I knew that Sweden and Russia have fought before; I went to Wikipedia and the article listed 11 wars just since the 1490's. That does not include conflicts going back to the 12th century. Its going to be a lot of reading...
Btw, that is beautiful countryside.
Sweden is the country Russia has went to war with the most in the whole world. Sweden and Denmark also has had the most wars in world history, counting years. Funny how today Denmark is one of our closest ally and freind
@@Lajosen *Not true, most of all Russia fought with the Ottoman Empire, only there were 12 major wars!*
@@UltraTotenkopf 1. Ottoman empire is not a country you silly slav
2. Sweden has had 13 wars with Russia
Long live Ukraina, may they break your russian spirit and country 💙🇺🇦
vi vann väl detta slag?
No war in the 18th isn't glorious as people depict it to be. War never changes and it is always hell.
1719? Darn i did not know they had that good cameras back then.
Just waiting for someone who does not understand a joke.
I didn't even know that GoPros already existed back then too.
TheRomanRuler Yes they had the ye olde gopro 1.....
They had good cameras. But armies usually used blackwhite and low resolutio. So this was colourized.
XD XD
How many females served in the Swedish army of the period? I saw at least one in the clip.
It was actually illegal, but it happened, like this woman: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_J%C3%B6ransdotter
It existed female warriors in Sweden or rather what would become Sweden, before Christianity, though, which is mentioned in the article.
It Looks like an reenactement as tourists Event.
all in fun , ja ?
You should put a sabaton video in there
Очередная попытка германского мира обвинить Русских в аморальных деяниях во время боевых действий - в целях оправдания своих военных преступлений, в частности, Шведов в отношении Русских гражданских и пленных, а также наших союзников

Another attempt by the German world to accuse the Russians of immoral acts during the hostilities - in order to justify their war crimes, in particular, the Swedes against Russian civilians and prisoners, as well as our allies
@@dream459 да, да. Пока старики в мусорке ищут еду, надо накупить у американцев джавелинов и ржавые катера за счёт бюджета
That complaint didn't age well ... 👀🤮
Everyone is brutal against everyone in wars
This is almost as realistic as saving private Ryan
Надеюсь Ваша родовая память Вас спасет от ошибки воевать с нами)) Немцам помогает, а Вы могли и позабыть)))
Думаю у тебя тоже есть генах есть не воевать с кочевыми народами. ))))).
Jag såg den där filmen på ett museum i Fisksätra
Perhaps somebody more knowledgable can enlighten me, why is there a matchlock being used by one of the soldiers, I thought it was well obsolete by this point
6:17
3:07 Tommy Wiseau!?
Napoleon tidak pernah mengatakan cinta pada teman tidurnya
cool
😥😥
Good video, aside from the fact that the Caroleans reloaded much faster than that and that they fought with NO fear. (They were descendants of the Norsemen/Vikings, after all. Scandanavian especially the Swedish have been some of the most formidable warriors since the beginning of time!) I can't speak Swedish but, I assume that most of you will understand this comment considering, that most Swedes are bilingual and speak better English than a good portion of native speakers from my country. Damn you Swedes are awesome! Much respect from the US!
The swedish also won this battle, btw.
❤️❤️❤️
you are very pathetic.
everyone has fear.
the carolingeans were as much the descendants of vikings as many other european nations who had to deal and evntually merged with pre christian vikings.
swedish military power ended in the early 18. century. definitely.
do not write stupid shit.
Donovan Overcash If I understand it correctly this battle was fought in 1719, the later stage of the great northern war. The hard elite core of the swedish military was destroyed after the crushing defeat in the battle of Poltava 1709. After that the swedish army was more and more made up of finnish conscripts and old swedes who were not trained in battle. The russian army on the other hand got more professional during the war and posed a real threat to swedish troops and the declining swedish empire. So its safe to assume that this army fighting in 1719 is not the battle hardened and feared swedish army that set off in 1700 but more a bunch of finns and old swedes trying to defend their homeland.
Maybe some died fearless... but they died for the lost cause of a mad king.
6:18 a match lock?
Urra urrra urrra
The atmosphere is marvellous, but the sound effects are very bad. This was a good video let down by poor editing.
all in fun
Нильс! Нильс! Где твои гуси ?! 🙂
6:30 7:26 7:25 8:17
6:18 why does that guy in the back have a matchlock
I cant be certain it might just be an error but this battle was fought at the end of the war. The King of Sweden is dead and many campaigns have failed. Its possible that the Swedish army was running out of modern rifles at that point. Also there is a girl to be seen in the film. This too is not entirely unbelievable as some women fought in the Swedish army during this war.
Wheellocks were used in the carolean army so I would not be surprised if matchlocks were also used
Sweden was awesome.
Önskade att dagens svensk militär var så framgångsrik som karolinerna
Unlike today, back then Swedish men had balls.
いいね👍️
And that’s how Sweden created it’s empire
Lost its empire in this war, Sweden gained its empire after the 30 years war and the deluge war against Poland. The great northern war saw Sweden against Poland, Russia, Denmark and Saxony, they started out very well and won most battles, but after a few years they ran low on manpower and the Russians gained the upper hand. This battle scene is towards the end of the war
Пока под Стокгольмом не появилась конница Генерала Кульнева и после этого Швеция стала нейтральной страной.Надо что бы в фйордах швеции появились ,,вежливые люди,,
Ukraine will make your country neutral with all the casualties you have. May your friends and family fertilize the grounds of the brave Ukrainians

5.36 men ? women ?
i mean war is bad but the sweden is great battle
theres a matchlock a 6:18 wtf
Looks like that yes.
Russian soldiers of XVIII c. use modern slang "normal'no!" )))
And almost all of them are without mustache.
да это нормально )
How did these troops trade volleys of musket and grenade at 5 yards and manage to drag it out for so long? Behave
By shouting out, "Your turn!" when it was time.

Почитал комментарии шведов, как же вас бомбит от того, что проиграли северную войну. Только у меня один к вам вопрос, какого лешего вы полезли воевать с Россией? Что вы делали под Полтавой? Это не ваша земля, так что не нойте. Империя у них была, вам до империи, как до Луны. Финляндию видите ли у них отобрали, так это следствие того что вы оккупировали русские земли в 16-17 веке.
Every nation has taken lands from their neighbors
Including both Sweden and Russia
Of course a people will be proud of their ancestors wars and of course they will celebrate the glory days
This is just natural
Also in the great northern war, Russia and Poland declared war on Sweden in 1700
Long live Sweden for homeland
Nice work. There was a battle at Staket in 1719. Okay. Great. It'd be nice to know who the combatants were and where Staket is. Why not include who where when and why in the description and not leave people to go out and search for it? Not everyone in the world is familiar with every other group's history and combat.
If you're to lazy to make a search that takes seconds then you'd be to lazy to read any information that'd be in the description
This battle is real
how can fat people on that army , in real battle his survive life chance is 0.00005 %
Var fick dem uniformerna?
why so naive
5:35 is that a woman holding a hand gun?! Shield maiden herself or some feminist BS?
C Alex The fact that you’re bothered by that is hilariously pathetic.
C Alex I assume you don’t know this, but women were recorded to lie about their gender in order to serve in the carolean army. It isn’t really unrealistic, if uncommon.
@@VsauceHermannHere "uncommon", it happened once..
Sweden is best
Used to be! Look what Barbara Specter Lerner has done to Swedish women, brainwashing them. Sweden has surrendered to hyper-breeding Muslim and African conquest, enslavement and genocide.

Nope, the Swedes walloped the Russians. Frequently.

Хорошее видео, почти реалистичное. Хотя на мой взгляд как-то близко вели огонь противники. Не приятно, что изобразили русских этакими мародерами, да и хрен с ним.
