Siege of Vienna - Tunnel War - Part 2 - Extra History
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 12. 04. 2019
- đ Siege of Vienna: Tunnel War - The siege presses on from its initial active resistance phase to the long, routine drudgery of survival on the inside and elaborate defense building on the outside: earthworks and revelins designed by Georg Rimpler. Meanwhile, the Ottomans prepared to attack via gunpowder prepared inside mining tunnels.

Winter was coming-thatâs what had doomed Suleiman when heâd tried to
take Vienna back in 1529. The bitter cold. The Grand Vizier swore history would not repeat itself. Because soon, his mining tunnels would be ready.

How do you spell his name?

It's spelled Georg Rimpler, it's also in the description of the video
lmfao
Ahhh... I see what you did there you
So... basically a typical battle of World War 1, two and a half centuries before it started.
Except that half of it was underground, which makes it both more tragic and more amazing that nobody's turned this battle into a movie. Or, like, a tunneling-based RTS or something.
Cheetah Man the siege of Petersburg for instance. More specifically, the Battle of the Crater.
@Cheetah Man And the Siege of Richmond in the American Civil War.
@@timothymclean (Roblox Tunnel War game) totally.
@Cheetah Man Don't forget the American Civil war or the ground conflicts in the Russo-Japanese war either. Pretty much every major war for the latter half of the 1800s blared warning signs on how bad the first world war would be. Sadly the Franco-Prussian war (the one outlier) was the one everyone looked at for how it would go.
But going back to mining tunnels in war, look up the battle of the crater in the US civil war. A plan by the Union to blow a giant whole in the Confederate lines that actually got screwed up by one stupid (and probably racist) change in the plan that could have had a major effect on history if done right.

@@cekoforbidden9317 Your English is horrible bro
The banners at 8:37 had me anticipating something very different coming through.
Relatable...
yeah... they kinda look Polish almost...
Nah, if you'll take a look at Polish (or rather Polish-Lithuanian at the time) banner you'll realize your mistake immediately.
It's almost as if Austria borrowed its flag design from that banner... Excluding PLC coat of arms that is.
@Sidewinder no because it's literally the polish flag, how you would think that that's the ottomans I have no idea. Poland Lithuania didn't always use the unified flag
Oh and I forgot after the hussars come the war will end and the hapsburgs will win maybe the next episode is the last one

Extracredit: The Ottomans breached and slaughtered Vienna
Yaaa
Exactly

just want to say something about that the part with them getting lucky that the wall fell during the changing of the guards.
that was by design. the Ottomans specifically chose that time in the hope that, that way, the explosion would kill much more defenders. it's just that this didn't work as they had hoped.
so, it was not Viennese luck, but Ottoman miscalculation.
The siege failed, because the ottomans miscalculated a lot like the thing where they did not secure every piece of land around vienna to stop enemy reinforcements (the polish hussars) and they did not call for more troops when they needed them
@@Kiravenic well, a mistake to trust the tatars, especially when they didn't own their territories for that long to know what they can do. Also, i think they should've called for reinforcements or were they not able to do so?
One side's miscalculation is another side's luck.
@@sogghartha jep, the austrians had luck with the miscalculations and problems the ottomans. I know many people here in austria would hate me for that, but i am really curious about what would happened if the ottomans won at vienna. I would say that the defenders would have been imprisoned and the leaders would be executed. Maybe the ottomans would've tried to show the people of europe how the austrian emperor fled from the fight and how the leaders of the vienna defenders treated the citizens and especially the non catholics before the ottoman victories in hungary.
tatars betrayed because ottomans were expecting them to hold whole polish army without cannons or any gunpowder weapon and kara mustafa pasha also insulted to the crimean khan so he pulled back his forces thats why ottoman army got destroyed from back

I'm glad you cover the complex defence system of the star fort. Star forts are really genious design that were way too underappreciated today.
The statue of liberty sits on one iirc
Fortifications in general, aside from medieval castles, are not very well known by most people, so it makes sense that star forts are (unfortunately) underappreciated
the only places I've heard of them are EU4 and this series

That pun, like the organ, was well played.
Oh so THAT'S where Games Workshop got inspiration for the Siege of Vraks from!
And the Death Korps of Krieg, but one thing at a time, no?
Death Korps of Krieg are more inspired by the hell of WW1.
Arch's coverage of the book is amazing.
Oh shit yeah
@@JonathanLundkvist
I'd say it's *kinda* both. The first stage of Vraks under Lord Commander Zuehlke is closer to classic WW1: artillery barrages, mass-charges, and two trenchlines grinding against one another with sporadic mining by engineers. The latter phase under Lord Marshall Kagori is closer to the Siege of Vienna, with more emphasis on tunneling operations, and a mighty citadel under siege, its walls broken by a mine stuffed with explosives, and the grueling fight for the breach.
It takes cues from both, but WW1 is more obvious since the Death Korps of Krieg is... well, the Death Korps. Any day not spent digging trenches or taking part in a massed charge alongside their gas-masked brethren against fortified machine gun positions, is a day wasted for them.
RedOblivion *laughs in shovel*
It's like WWI, but with Winged Hussars.
Except for the Ottoman and Austro-hungarian empires were friends, fighting against multiple countries and alliances in a diplomatic network.
And therefore superior.
WWI had winged hussars as well. And the ones in WWI had fully functional wings
...indeed...and at 7:15 it's Vietnam's 'Iron-Triangle' but without 'Tunnel-Rats'...!
Trench warfare, tunneling and counter-tunneling dates back to Bronze age.
I am really glad that you guys are acknowledging everyone. How much effort was put to breach the Vienna and how brave everyone defended their home .
I really can't wait till you say THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED (I am from Poland :) ) . One of them biggest Polish victories that has turned the flow of history itself .
Pretty sure this was part of the inspiration for the Siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of Pelennor Fields. In the Map of Middle Earth, Minas Tirith is also the same longitude and latitude as Vienna.
yes, that's true. Tolkien often took inspiration from real life history
Pelennor Fields also took inspiration from the Battle of Catalunian Plains where Attila the Hun (eastern armies) was defeated by a Roman army of Flavius Awtius and a Visigothic Army lead by Theodric I. They won the battle by Theodric was crushed to death by his horses and charging men not unlike Theoden
As a Turkish person, I thank you for this impartial and fair telling. đâŁ

It is pretty f***** up to yell at you for something your ancestors 500 years in the past did I don't think you had any part in it
Incredible how the Viennese managed to hold the wall, being so heavily outnumbered.
Those brave souls saved half of Europe in this last stand. If the Ottomans managed to get inside the walls, they could have resited any counter attack that was about to come.

Vienna is a great city to see. The walls are still there and St. Stephen's Cathedral is a work of art.
"The walls are still there" - Just a few bastions, RingstraĂe is now where the walls used to be.
Walls are still there? I can't see them in google pictures

Next video, next video Vienna will be freed, but not yet.
@@lalisatr9817 Lol the Austrians did hang up skins from ottoman soldiers at the walls
The title of the next episode explains a question I've had for a very long time. The game Age of Empires II: The Conqueror's Expansion, put wings on their Hussar light cavalry unit. I never got that upgrade because I thought the wings looked stupid, and I couldn't understand why they did that. I believe next week's episode is going to give me the explanation I've been looking for for 15 years. :)
This is like an Early version of WW1.
Early Access WWI
I love how the levie was holding the weapon backward like: aHa AhA bleeds without even noticing* lmao
Remember kids pick Bulbasaur you wonât get invaded that way
Yeah. Instead you will get treated as second class citizens in your own city/country and forced to pay extra tax for the invading parties military fund.
And that's assuming no pogroms happen months of years down the line like in good ol Al-Andalus.
@@Sonlirain You mean to tell me the Ottomans weren't just the kindest, nicest, most wonderful conquerors ever?
@@earlofbroadst No invader ever can be described as nice.
It's not even a race or religion thing.
Poles were being oppressed and rose up against Germans in spite of sharing religion and a similar central European culture.
The massive cultural and religious difference would make this even worse however.
I spent a lot of this video picturing an RTS. I think I might actually play too many games.
DragoniteSpam EU4
WRONG. YOU HAVE ONLY BEGUN YOUR TRAINING
An RTS based around the tunneling and counter-tunneling part of the siege could be pretty cool. You play as an officer directing the tunneling, trying to dig under the enemy's base and detonate explosives to destroy them, while also searching for enemy tunnels and trying to burn them down-ideally with enemy engineers inside.

Oh man, what a thrilling cliff hanger, "if only" there was a masterpiece of a song that explains what happens in the next episode
6:56 is that a Bastogne reference? Nuts.
Next time on Dragon Ball Z: the Winged Hussars arrive!
I love all the episodes, theyâre always so good, hope you guys make episodes about Operation Market Garden sometime in the future!
The next part is my favorite. My favorite part of my favorite siege in history.
This reminds me a story/lesson during history class. During the 100 years war a French Lord was besieged a captured English castle. The French lord decided to tunnel underneath and surprise the English forces by popping out of the courtyard and taking the castle. Some time passed and a French soldier appeared to inform his lord that the tunnel collapsed, revealing a longer tunnel. Supposedly the French Lord offered to crawl through the smallbtunnel. While crawling, he could only use a short sword and a torch to light the way. Some time passed, and the French Lord saw a light ahead. As he moved closer, he noticed that the one there could only carry a short sword and a light. And that other tunnel traveler was the English General who was protecting thebcastlem.

Man, bless the bravery and ingenuity of those Viennese. Absolute legends. Every single one of them deserves a monument all their own. And one for the noble pets that had to go in the pot for the sake of food.
Georg Rimpler was the best, he played a huge part in the defense of Vienna, you could even say he saved Vienna.
