There are records that the standard was punching a copy of 2-3 enemies at once, there were cases of breaking 4 enemies, the record was that the Lithuanian hussar would break 6 people
A mention about WWII cavalry: this seems only anachronistic to you as Americans because the USA didn't bring *their* cavalry with them across the pond and subsequently re-desingated cav as designator for heavy armoured formations which is of course what most nations did and after the war (heavy tanks in the French army are cuirassiers e.g.). However at the onset of European hostilities *all* armies still fielded cavalry, mostly acting as highly mobile and, more importantly, fuel and maintenance independent mobile formation, fighting dismounted as light infantry, i.e. "dragoons" (US cav. btw. *never* fought as heavies i.e. with cold steel as the European heavies even untill the opening campaign, The Battle of the Frontiers, in August 1914), equipped with light machine guns and horse-drawn AT guns. The Polish cav is only well known because of the residual effect of German propaganda which is doubly ironic because not only did Germany field significant numbers of horsemen itself but also suffered suprising reverses by cavalry counterattacks. The maybe lasr hurrah of mounted cavalry was the role played by the steppe cavalry formations of the red army during the counterattack and subsequent encirclement of German forces in Stalingrad by the swift destruction of the Axis allies (chiefly Romanian and Hungarian as well as some Italian formations) in the encircelimg operation (Operation Uranus) which created the "Stalingrad kettle" wherein Fldm. Paulus' 6th army perished. Even today cavalry still may play supporting roles in brocken terrain, see the initial hostilities during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Its funny because American cavalry did engage in horse mounted combat in the Philippines when the 26th cavalry charged the Japanese in the town of Morong during the retreat to Bataan. Its wild to me how the Pacific theater is virtually ignored in the American consciousness besides Pearl Harbor and the nuclear bombings.
@@kimjongrussel7645 I didn't know, thanks Russel! In a way I'm not better, I know about aspects of US American warfare chiefly because their involvement in Europe, I`m a somewhat Eurocentric historian, having been trained in German universities and always circling back to the Great War in most matters as the origin of so many things or the Eastern Front of the Second World War because of it's sheer mindbogglingly-Warhammer40k-ish scale.

in Lord of the Rings, there were 6000 rohirrim charging, at this Battle at Vienna there were 18000 Winged hussars. Try and imagine how it impressive a sight it must have been (not to mention how loud it must have sounded).
@@portugeskiller7391 I just checked, and you are right, there were 3000 something Winged Hussars, but with Allies there were 18.000 horsemen (according to Wiki).
Gandalf and the Rohirrim charge at Helm's Deep in LOTR, as well as the Knights of the Vale charge during the Battle of the Bastards in GoT, are both inspired by the Winged Hussars charge at Vienna.
Don't forget the siege of Minas Tirith in LOTR - Return of the King, that one is bigger then the Battle of Helm's Deep in LOTR - The Two Towers. but yes, I would say that they are both inspired by the siege of Vienna.

Thing is the German Army in WW2 was one of the LARGEST users of horses during the war. 80% of their transport was by horse. Each rifle company had 3 horse drawn wagons they would load their packs into for hauling. This was used a lot during the fighting in Russia.
Yep, wanted to mention this as well. How mechanised an army was/could be was very dependent on how much fuel they had, and Germany was fairly desperate for it.
2:27 everyone used horses during ww2 and Germany more than Poland. You probably referring to debunked propaganda that the Poles used horses against tanks.
Poles kind of used cavalry units against tanks, but what I mean by that is Polish cavalry units had horse-drawn anti-tank guns which they used to ambush german armor units.
The vast majority of transportation of goods behind the lines was still horse powered in WW2. That stands for most of the theatres except the Pacific part of the war.
Knights and the hussars practiced so much with their long lance so the chance of them not hitting what they inteanded with it are almost zero. And as other have said it was mostly used to break the lines/formations of the enemy. After that it was chop chop time with the sword.
The Germans were still using horses during WWII. Especially on the Russian front because there was a limited supply of fuel and the secondary benefit being much harder to freeze a horse versus a combustion engine during the winter.
it is very sad for horses? Poland at that time bred the best horses in the world. it was a mix of Polish horse with Arabian and Mongolian. It was strong, enduring and didn't need to be fed with oats because ate everything. exporting these horses abroad was forbidden under the threat of death. how did this horse look like? We will not find out because after the Polands partition, the Germans and the Russians ordered kill all Polish horses so that the hussars would not arise again, and this is sad.
So I liked your remarks about the horses, so I did a little digging. Looks like the Hussar armor that those units wore, was around 33-38lbs, so add the weight of the solider and weapons and it wouldn't go over 300 pounds. Besides these horses had been bred for war. I only felt bad for them on the fact that they had just marched 6 days to reach the site of the battle. Hey, to be honest, those horses were probably treated better than some of the other soldiers, the hussars lived and died by their steeds.
they wouldnt carry their lances all day, they had carriages filled with them, and though with broke on impact they had several replacements, he said they were only useful for one day was a bit of hyperbole, because usually they would waste all their lances on the battle, and they were extremmely effective they completely wrecked enemy formations due to how long their lances were even pikemen would get destroyed if they didnt have cavalry support
Hussars were established in 1503 and lasted until 1776 Comparing hussars to World War II is ridiculous. Especially if she hasn't lost in over 100 years of rare battle.
For the sabaton cruise, it’s absolutely AWESOME! They hire this huge ass cruise ship and let a whole lotta fans come aboard and rock out with them as they travel accross the seas!
Interesting fact I found out quite recently: Apparently some more isolated Balkan villages were using medieval armour up until the 20th century. Also, the French army were wearing blue(!) uniforms at the start of World War I...
I study history I can give some explanation. The german army of ww2 is the best example. They mainly used horses for things like dragging artillery etc. Why? Because the wehrmacht relied highly on motorised divisions, those were prioritiesd to get Trucks etc.
As for the hussar copy. There are confirmed historical cases where 3-5 people were stuffed into the copy during the attack. So yeah. sometimes it looked like a shashlik
Germany used hundreds thousands of horses in initial attack on USSR. Russians used them to. Another misconception is how exactly horses were used. Soldiers didn't take them to charge the enemy. They used horses to move faster, to be more mobile. They would leave horses few kilometers ahead frontline in safe place and then they would go to fight as regular infantry. Cavalry in WW2 was more like quick reaction force than medieval knights. At least polish Ułans were fighting like that. Horses are better in some situations than cars because they don't need fuel or spare parts. Also horses are better at some terrain. You can't drive a car through a forrest or swamp, but you can do it with a horse.
Guys if you are going to do react videos, and then talk about the song before you actually react, please do your research. You keep talking about WW2 and how the polish did "not bow down". You are either mixing things up (40:1?), or just ignorant. Winged Hussars is about the Holy League lifting the siege of Vienna in 1683. Siege was lifted, in no small part, due to the efforts of Jan the third Sobiesky and his Winged Hussars. That's what this song is about. WW2 started with the (mechanized) invasion of Poland in 1939. You may come to your senses later in the video, however I had to stop. If you act this unprofessional in the beginning, it's just a detriment to your content overall.
Agree! Their comments in the beginning are just plain dumb. I also stopped watching... what type of reaction these two can possibly have? We’re talking about different centuries here. ... joke
Z lancami i ich długością chodziło o to, żeby były dłuższe niż piki piechoty w falandze, ale nie było to łatwe do wykonania, żeby móc osiągnąć taką długość, musiały być wydrążone w środku, co na owe czasy było bardzo innowacyjne. Ponadto istnieje historia, pogłoska o tym, że na jedną lancę Husarz nabił sześciu Rosjan (six Russians at one hit). I also reccomand learn something about the battle of Kircholm, when Jan Karol Chotkiewicz leading 3,5k troops against over 12k Swedish troops. Looses - killed, wounded, or captured on Swedish side was around 7k, on Polish side was... - belive or not, around 100 (100 - 7 000). Winged Hussars were the then equivalent of today's atomic bomb, but not killing own troops in range. :D
About WWII, Polish troops didn't go with sabers, on horses against enemy tanks. Horses were used to pull altyllery, and were more mobility , than tanks, or even trucks (not everywhere You can get by tank, truck, or jeep, but You can get there on horse). With sabers They could eleminate infantry troops. But also Germas were using horses, or bikes, no every German soldier was sitting in tank. I also recommand to lear something about Ur - wz. 35.
Gotta say, both of you are correct when it comes to horses 😂 sure, many less developed countries used them but so did everybody else, even Germany. Horses are indeed easer to sneak up on people with but that’s not usually what they were used for but for transport.
Typical internet the bewildered observer makes inane comments. The unaccomplished amazed by what happens. In WW2 16 million served in the US military, everyone knew a soldier now nobody knows one.
The Winged Hussars were an elite formation. They were the sons of the richest Lechites. They were the biological descendants of medieval knights and of earlier times, when they fought against the Romans and even earlier against Alexander himself, who broke through the passes in the Carpathians to the territory of present-day Poland. Alexander lost to the Lechites thanks to the cunning plan of a certain Chytrk. To this day there is the mountain Lech and the river Lech on the maps of South Germany. Alexander was no longer interested in the North and struck at Darius. For unprecedented achievements in battles . Many generations of Lechites, weapons of the highest order and the most expensive horses worked for the effectiveness of the battle. They bought it all with their money, except for the copies . They could afford such an expense as they were very rich. Democracy in the First Republic was based, among other things, on the fact that every peasant could become a nobleman. All he had to do was notify the clerk (county clerk) that he wanted to be an army/soldier. He started out as an infantryman. If he didn't die and was meritorious in battles, he was knighted and that meant he got a coat of arms, or was assigned to some coat of arms, and land, so that he could support himself, a family of lackeys, horses and buy/repair weapons. For his courage and bravery he became a knight and a nobleman. Let the event which took place shortly after the defeat of the Turks at Vienna in the first Battle of Parkanami serve as an example. Sobieski was ambushed. He had to get out of it and he did. His personal guard included, among others, a gigantic for those times simple peasant. The villager died shielding the king. But from other historical accounts it seems that if he survived, the king would cure him for his money, he would give him a coat of arms and land from the so-called "Różewszczyzna", he would be knighted by the king himself. The Republic of Poland had one more formation - a light cavalry called the Lisowczyks after its founder, a lieutenant of the Winged Hussars Alexander Lisowski. Just as the Winged Hussars were the elite, the Foxes are the biggest but effective capes. Those who were admitted were not asked from what social stratum, but had to prove that they knew how to fight. Just as the enlisted men of Western Europe demanded double pay upon hearing that they would be fighting the Winged Hussars, so across Europe mothers were scaring their children with the Foxes. They had reason to do so, for the Foxes fought from the waters of the Rhine River to the White Sea in Russia and from the Baltic to the Urals. They didn't get paid, they lived on loot. The Lisowczycy were not Poles alone. It was a mixture of all nations . Their only superior was, after Lisowski's death, first one, then two colonels. There are indications that Russians were so afraid of Lisowski that they tricked him into poisoning. They existed only 20 years : 1616 - 1637.
do you guys have a particular reason to mirror the vid you're reacting to? because that stuff only helps against youtube copyright-bots at best, you got stricken by a human, i'd say do normal vids as much as you can and take the losses, you still have plenty of "right-side-up" vids on your channel, this btw is just telling from expierience from which i saw anime channels go down, they start with normal reactions with small window of the anime, mirror it, change its opacity, limit the borders, put a water mark over it, it doesnt help if you have a human on your tail, since there are no fair-use laws, so might aswell go all in.
The narrative about a large number of Polish soldiers moving on horseback and attacking tanks is a false narrative invented by an Italian communist, and unfortunately reproduced by a mythomaniac director with a Polish passport. Poland was equipped with quite modern equipment, but lost to the tactics of the German blitzkrieg. It is difficult to prepare for such a tactic, as Poland freed itself in 1918, among others, from German captivity and in 1939 it was attacked again, among others, by Germany. They foresaw and built bunkers and other facilities for nearly 20 years, but it was not enough. First of all, not enough time. Nevertheless, horses were used during World War II. The leaders in horse-drawn carriages were the Germans. To this day, there are plenty of horse-drawn carriages on the Polish coast and, unfortunately, thousands of remains of horses that the Germans killed.

The narrative about a large number of Polish soldiers moving on horseback and attacking tanks is a false narrative invented by an Italian communist, and unfortunately reproduced by a mythomaniac director with a Polish passport. Poland was equipped with quite modern equipment, but lost to the tactics of the German blitzkrieg. It is difficult to prepare for such a tactic, as Poland freed itself in 1918, among others, from German captivity and in 1939 it was attacked again, among others, by Germany. They foresaw and built bunkers and other facilities for nearly 20 years, but it was not enough. First of all, not enough time. Nevertheless, horses were used during World War II. The leaders in horse-drawn carriages were the Germans. To this day, there are plenty of horse-drawn carriages on the Polish coast and, unfortunately, thousands of remains of horses that the Germans killed.
