@@Escobar224 oh shit, fixing it now.
What is the music in the video?
seriously, great video and an amazing story. Thank you.
You could've mentioned Mücke's landing party, which evaded capture and had an epic journey back to Germany.
Did you know, that the landing party of Emden actually made it back to Germany. After they knew they were trapped on the island they took a seaworthy Sailboat that was anchoring there to Batavia [Jakarta]. From there they were shipped by a liner to the ottoman empire at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. And from there they went via train first Istanbul and then carried on to Berlin.
Muller had guts, that's for sure. Steaming into Allied ports and blowing stuff up was absolutely brazen, but it worked. I also admire his chivalrous character in ensuring the safety of and releasing Allied prisoners.
Indeed. A true man of principle.
Just proof that just because you're at war, there's no reason to be rude or churlish.😉
That or he knew they'd eventually lose so he didn't want to look like bad guy so his arse would be covered after the war.
@@AsttoScott Other german captains who attacked allied merchant shipping like Count Luckner acted the same way.
@@wolfsoldner9029 True Gents they were.
Lost to time men like them are now.
The production quality is through the roof.
Thank you sir.
16:40 That soap advertisement is peak capitalism.
Hehe.
gas
Right after the soap advertisement. Muller: I don't want to make money with the blood of my comrades.
I lol'ed at that when i read it hahahaha that soap manufacturer is a shrewd capitalist. I wonder if the advertisement succeeded.
I'd buy it
this is purely a work of art, congratulations!
Hi
The surprise attack by SMS Emden on Madras City(now Chennai) in September 1914 had a great psychological and cultural impact on the minds of the local people. It created such a scare that the word 'Emden' has entered the native lexicon and means 'Boogeyman' in native language.
A fantastic bit of trivia. Would be great to include it in the next vid!
What's the native dialect in Chennai?
@@redornament3248 Tamil
He kind of did mention it at the end of the video though
well that is funny, espaccily as an eastfrisian where the city is located
First Saladin and now Karl von Muller. It seems you have a strong preference for chivalrous military leaders ;)
Hehe, you could be right, I don't know honestly. I definitely always root for the underdog.
@@HistoryMarche A light cruiser vs a merchantman? Might not seem like the Emden is the underdog to the merchantman! But the excellent treatment of captured seamen allowed for mercy on both sides. There's something ironically, paradoxically cool about the idea that 'just because we're supposed to be killing each other doesn't mean we need to be assholes about it.' 😎😎
Was Saladin chivalrous? only when about to be beaten.
@Maximilian L what did he do on emden?
Saladin chivalrous, funny.
I am a Malaysian and worse still, a Penangite myself. I didnt know that part of history existed when Emden raided british ships in Penang. Something i didnt learn in local high school history syllabus, kinda ashamed to myself really.
Whatever it is, this is a top-notched production from HistoryMarche. Brilliant work, keep this kinda stuff coming to us!
Every video you do is better than the previous one. Just how?

@@HistoryMarche Sounds interesting
I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter...
This was brilliant.
The graphics, the calm narrator's voice and of course the very well researched story of the Emden transformed into a 18min long adventure.
Thanks for that HM!
Thank you kindly.
18 minute long adventure! Exactly correct, I wish I had said that :)
I am from Madras city! The bomb shell impact from Emden is still visible in the Madras High Court compound wall, even today! -Cheers mate, an extraordinaire documentary as always !
That's a fantastic fun fact. I never knew that.
If I ever visit Madras in the feature, I will visit that place.
The story of the landing party and how they made it back to Germany is fascinating also. They fell in on the platform of the train station in Berlin and were visited by the Kaiser.
Don't forget the chivalrous message sent to Muller by the Captain of the Sydney, requesting him to surrender.
An absolutely great job. The history of the Emden is one of the most incredible in naval history. Please, if you also tell and in such a wonderful way the story of the other great German corsair of the First World War, the Seeadler commanded by von Luckner, I will love you forever!
Indeed, I'd love to do more stories about various WW1 commerce raiders. Love you suggestion! Will definitely dedicate some of my creative juices towards this.
The story of various German commerce raiders of WWII, such as Atlantis, would be an intersting topic.
A man beside the greatest minds in warfare
The story of the landing party that were left behind on the island just before Emden engaged the Sydney is also quite spectacular. The Great War channel talks about them on their video on the Emden.
Apparently they found an old, rotting schooner that they somehow managed to fix up enough to be sea worthy, sailed to the Dutch East Indies where they stopped briefly before deciding to try and make their way towards the Ottoman Empire. They eventually met an Austrian cargo ship, which dropped them off at modern day Yemen. There they met a party of local soldiers(?) and fought their way trough the Arabian desert with them, before eventually reaching Constantinople. What a journey.
What do you mean 'fought their way through the Arabian desert'?
@@QuintusFabiusMaximusVerr-vf9sb They had to fight the local warlods I believe. I don't remember the details, I just remember they had to fight. There's a few videos on their journey.
this must be the most beautiful history channel i have EVER seen Respect to the captain of the Emden too for his Honor is to great
Thank you sir for watching.
I'm speechless. This is the quality I subbed for
Thank you very much!
Content quality
Im sad to see such a criminally underrated channel like this. My history teacher brought up one of your videos(Battle of Poiters) during our history class, I hope to see this in our discussion and I wish thia channel the best of luck.
Awesome! Where is your school?
Oh that is awesome! Send my regards to your history teacher! And thank you very much for watching.
@@alexanderdoddy7590 Its called St John's School, there are alot of schools under that name so I wont specify any more than this.
@@takemeout5687 lmao my school name is also St John. What a coincidence
i absolutely love naval battles
Remember when the great war channel covered this? It was an amazing story glad we can get a more in depth coverage of this story
Indeed, Great War channel did a wonderful job, especially when describing the crew sailing back to Germany. We focused more on the faith of the Emden herself, detailing her exploits.
It is always so great to hear stories like these about knights which fought with both honor and capability, in such wars where the enemy is considered the literal devil it is nice to see men being a threat towards their enemies yet always maintaining respect towards them, these are the real heroes of war and we should all learn something from them, especially the politicians which decided the peace conditions should have taken a slice of that, it would have saved us a lot of blood if they had.
Anyway, again great video and great topic you covered, I'm already excited for your next video, keep up the great work!
ooh world war 1... Awesome video, so interesting! :D
Cheers mate! Thank you very much.
@@HistoryMarche No problem! :)
Would you consider doing a similar story on the SMS Wolf? She was an IGN armed merchant raider who also operated in the Pacific and Indian oceans, destroyed something like 38 other vessels including 2 warships. Made the longest voyage of any kind during WW1 to eventually slip through the British blockage and return to Kiel.
That's quite a good suggestion. Definitely putting SMS Wolf on the list for voting.
@@HistoryMarche and Koningsberg also
Great video thanks. Additional snippets:
Emden was such a legend to the point there used to be a phrase, Nee enna avlo periya Emden ah? (What are you? a big Emden?) in Tamil.
That's an awesome fun fact.
@@HistoryMarche en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_Magan There is also a local movie called the "Son of Emden" about a really angry father. The phrase Emden is still used today to refer to a person with a short temper in the coastal provinces.
I feel like the First World War isn't covered nearly enough, let alone outside the European theater, fantastic work. The amount of work and research that goes in these videos must be staggering. Cannot get enough!
Very well done but you missed a really interesting part of the story. the landing party evaded capture and made their way back to Germany. That is an epic that should be told.
Thank you very much. Indeed, the story of the landing party is truly remarkable. I initially planned it as a sequel, but never got around to doing it. Perhaps I'll jump back to finish that video in the coming months.
The Emden's exec officer, Hellmuth von Mucke, led the shore party. They witnessed the arrival of the Sydney, and ensuing destruction of their vessel. Before the Sydney returned to Direction Island, the shore party commandeered the schooner Ayesha and fled. Von Mucke led his party of 50 men on a 6-month 10,000 km odyssey back to Germany, via Arabia and Constantinople, with only four casualties. There is a short book, "The Last Corsair" by Dan van der Vat, that describes the saga of the Emden and her crew. A longer treatment is "The Last Gentleman-of-War" by Lochner/Lindauer.
@@MartinCanada oh my goodness? is that true?!
Toffi Kai Yes it is true! An amazing story.
@@HistoryMarche I would love to hear the story and see again the awesome work you put into your videos.
Really loving the animations in this episode. Incredible work!
Amazing story. What a virtuous man the captain was. Excellent video. Very well done. Thank you.
Quality, Narration, Editing, Visuals, Sound - Fantastic work. 10/10
Auf einem Seemannsgrab, blühen keine Rosen.
On a sailer's grave, no roses blossom.
Awesome video and absolutely great story! Thanks. A good addition to the story could be the adventure of a raiding party left ashore. They have managed to get a boat, sail to Sumatra and then across Indian ocean to Yemen. From there they got by land to Istanbul and then back to Germany. I can hardly imagine how they could have done it!
Ok, naval combat is much more interesting than I previously thought.
Im am commenting again after 4 years because this video is one of your magnum opuses. I cannot describe with words how well crafted this master peace is.
I miss videos like this. They are nowhere to be seen on yt.
Fantastic graphics. Really enjoy this. Thumbs up. =)
Another truly excellent video. Your work is outstanding, and often very educational as despite a lot of study of WW1 I never knew all this.
Great video as always, very interesting subject matter. Not sure how the bloody kiwis got the Emden ensign but it ought to be at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra with our other war trophies.
Thank you sir. Indeed, it is curious how the ensign got there.
@@HistoryMarche An excuse to travel to NZ on a fact-finding mission you say?
As always, top notch quality content, keep it up!
Very instructive and fair description of a courageous captain, his brave sailors and the ship that undertook astounding endeavors.
My recognition and esteem.
Thank you sir. Well said.
wow. What an epic story. Truly mesmerized by Emden.
Beautiful animation, beautiful story. This channel has improved a lot.
I've lost track of how many times I've rewatched this episode.
Great story, excellent graphics, nice pacing, and a hell of an uplifting bio to boot! You just keep getting better.
Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed the video.
What a discovery, I didnt knew this ship, thank you a lot for that really good video !
What a great story. This is a movie I would love to see.
This is probably the most detailed and well researched video of the voyage of the Emden, filling in gaps the other documentaries leave out. Brilliant!!!!
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.
the entire channel is just superb, great quality and accurate information, no nonsense, educational and entertaining
Thank you sir, much appreciated.
Typically naval battles are pretty dry but the use of shell graphics and explosions made the action come alive. The tight narration was pretty compelling as well. Great job.
I love these episodes about the story of a ship and its endeavors, like BazBattles' Operation Rheinübung: Hunt for the Bismarck. Good stuff.
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great work & amazing channel you are !!
This was one of then most awesome history videos i have ever seen! Thnak you so much for the hard work.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for listening to the feedback and adding info of the character's before and aftermath of the campaign. Really amazed by Muller's principal not to make & exploit/monetize a memoire due to respect of his fallen comrade.
Terrific video. That level of chivalry is rare.
Dang, the animation on this video is a amazing! Great work as always.
Loved this whole aspect of money in a war. In many documentaries the monetary part isn't debated or hailed as an important aspect as it should be. It was very interesting to see a ship be recognised for the money it brought through skill and diplomacy to it's mother country, and nonetheless the battles it won! What a whopping number!
More Naval History please!
That was a nice expanation of Emden´s voyage. It is a shame that nowadays no one in Germany wants to remember about it and its story is more known to her former enemies now. Do you plan to make a report about its sister ship the DRESDEN which also had a remarkable history in other waters?
I look forward to another great episode guys.
I hope you have a great year! Your channel definitely deserves it.
The quality of the videos has gone way up since the Saladin video and it shows, keep up the good work, we don't mind if it takes a long time to make one since they are this good. :)
I normally don’t comment on your videos, but this time I just have to tell you that the quality of this video is incredible! Can’t wait to see more on World War 1!
PS: Don’t forget Hannibal!
Thank you very much. As for Hannibal, he's coming in a few weeks :D
Another great video. Keep them coming. This is my favourite channel on CZcams
Who knew naval raiding and warfare could be this interesting! Almost felt like watching a movie it was very entertaining
Very kind of you. Thank you.
really enjoyed every minute. Great job
Brilliant. Learned something new today. Thank you for that.
Thank you for watching.
@@HistoryMarche Really good production. Enjoyed every minute of your videos. Wish You and your channel all the best. Don't be afraid to make long videos and take as much time as you need to make them.
Fantastic video and a really interesting story
I had never even heard of this before. Great video!
Thank you sir.
Every video gets more and more interesting. Great job guys, really underrated ! You're the best.
Now this is what I call quality content, you sir are a legend
Thank you sir.
I've read and seen other professional documentaries just dedicated to Mueller's story and the Emden, yet you have such great detail and make this amazing story even better!
Thank you so much for presenting this excellent video of the Emden. 1st rate!
Never heard of this story. I learned more than reading a book. Now let's get back to Hannibal pls :)
Hehe, Hannibal is coming back within a few weeks :)
The story didn't end there. The landing party the Emden left on the island decided to make their way back to Germany instead of surrendering. They took a small sailing vessel and made their way across the pacific to the Arabian peninsular, crossed the desert fighting Bedouines, and finally arrived in allied Istanbul. At home they were welcomed as heros. Sadly most of them had to join frontline troops and died later in the war.
Yet another great video from you guys. Thanks!!
I had recently watched another video on the Emden. I'm so glad I watched this soon after. What a contrast! The first video was fine. But your presentation really brought home the expanse of the Emden's travels, the character of her gentleman captain, the quality of her crew (especially her gunnery division), and the drama of each encounter. Well done! I'm your newest subscriber!
Thank you sir. Welcome to the channel.
One of my favourite YT channels, you seem to keep on improving since I first subscribed. Great video!
Also the Narrator has done a fantastic job! As well as the choice of music, which I keep coming back to listen to.
Thank you sir for the positive feedback. Glad you stuck with our channel.
love your content
please do more naval wars like this one
your chanel is more that worth a subsciption.
Thank you sir. Welcome to the channel.
Sophisticated, detailed and refined yet so simple to take in
Brilliant as always
This is why I am subscribed
Thank you very much sir.
yet another incredible work. thank you!
HistoryMarche back at it again with Amazing Quality of research and animation.
Every vid is better and better. Well done 👍🏽
Unreal episode
This such a good video, thank you for it!
Thank you for watching.
Incredible story (i have never heard in such detail) and adorable graphics and animations. It was a blast! Thanks!
Thank you sir.
When I was young I read Last Cruise of the Emden. Great book. So of course in World of Warships I had to have her...
I didnt know any of this thank you so much for doing this video. Superb quality and entertaining. Well done.
Amazing, I love it! Thank you for another great video :D
Wow, your videos are amazing! I was never into modern day war strategy videos until now.
Wow, that was amazing. How much work was done. And these harbors arts look great. Thank you.
really like the high quality videos!
Thank you sir.
Really great. Just subscribed. You will get a LOT more subs if you carry on making content this good!
Thank you kindly sir. Welcome to the channel.
Fantastic job like always. Hope to see more on world war 1 & 2
Binged watched all of the videos in this channel. Amazing. Keep at it!
Thank you sir. Welcome to the channel.
Excellent video! He was a gentleman, a great soldier and officer.
Indeed. He was truly widely respected by his contemporaries, it's a shame that time largely forgot him.
@@HistoryMarche Why do you think time forgotten him?
@@thecrusaderhistorian9820 Well in my opinion, historical figures like Muller should receive much more mention. His achievements on the high seas are exceptional, yet we don't see him being covered nowhere near as much as some other figures from WW1 and especially WW2, even though he belongs right up there with the best.
@@HistoryMarche I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Nazis.
@@thecrusaderhistorian9820 I would add, that anything outside of the European theatre is often forgotten in the west
What an incredible story, what an incredible video! Thanks!!!
A man among men. The definition of an officer and a gentleman
You should do more videos like this in future and keep up with your incredible work
I really had to check twice to make sure this is HistoryMarche
channel . :))
Different but awesome content, as always.
Hehe, we had to reshuffle the style a bit, make it more 'naval-looking' :) Thank you very much for watching.
Astonishing! Also love your voice mate xd, congrats!
Thanks :P
I second that statement! Hope to watch more history stories like this.
Amazing video!
Really informative and something i knew nothing about...i could probably tell you more about ancient sea battles or the battles or Yi Sun-Sin(Korean Admiral) than i could about WW1 WW2 ...
This is very interesting
please release videos more frequently ❤❤❤
