Consider watching Barbarians today and tell all of your friends - getting more eyes on that excellent show is the best way to ensure that we are going to get more historical movies and tv series down the line!
Love and good wishes from Bangladesh, South asia
I started watching it a couple of days ago! I'm liking it, watching episode 3 tonight. Bearing in mind it has to walk that line between historical authenticity and entertainment i thought it did a good job!
Unironiclly Netflix chose the perfect channel to sponsor, 90% of the comments are about how amazing the show is
Shame it's on Netflix only.
Too many innaccuracies
“Blitzed through Germania in a lightning campaign.”
Lets hope Germany won’t learn from that.
Well, they did learn after gustavus adolphus and Napoleon also used blitxkrieg in Germany
@@mattep74 it was a joke... But thats a nice fact tho
@@mattep74 mmm tbf, blietzkrig was kinda the modus operandi for the Vikings too - only with ships instead of cavalry/tanks
"Let's hope Germany won't learn from that" oh wait..
@
The Void Looks Pretty The reason Adolf's war was called Blitzkrieg was because of the "wunder drug" the medical company Bayer invented in the early 1930's.
Bayer scientist invented amphetamine and meth amphetamine, under the codename "blitz". Adolf knew about this "wunder drug" and before the 200k tank soldiers invaded France inn less then 2 weeks, he gave them over 35 000 000 doses for the operation. Stupid as Churchill was he said it would take Adolf's army over 6 months, but he ignored the effects of amphetamine and methamphetamine. Churchill didn't think it was possible to drive a tank for 2 weeks straight without stopping. The fact shows, it's easy.
America and the west didn't win ww2. The only one who won the war of ww2 was and still is Bayer... Still pushing their stim on children under the codename "Ritalin"
Many soldiers world wide and all of the world's active fighter pilots take some form or variation of Blitz or Ritalin or Stim, name it what you want, they all still use this "wunder drug".
I can't believe people let Bayer keep winning... Hitler was just a junkie puppet. Somebody to take the fall and cover for their "live testing on human kind".
"Hey Arminius, tell us again stories about the Romans."
"Ok. There's this famous Roman guy named Julius Caesar..."
"Tell us more!"
"Well, he was stabbed to death by other Romans for being too ambitious..."
Well that ended quickly
All i want... Is just a crown...
And all of my conquest being remembered by future generations, instead i get assasinated by a paranoid senator who wore a bath robe...

Quintilus Varus, give me back my legions!

@@jakemac1396 Nay, he's paraphrasing. "Quintili Vare" is Quintilius Varus, and "legiones redde" is literally "legions give me back", but means "Give ME back MY legions". The quote is traditionally attributed to the emperor Augustus by Suetonius in his "Twelve Caesars".
In English, we traditionally phrase it as "Varus, give me back my legions!"
@@Nikelaos_Khristianos thank you for explaining it to me buddy
Imagine smashing 3 legions and making the emperor himself bang his head against a wall......just to end up being killed by YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
Definition of stop while you're ahead. I guess? lol
Ironically enough, Arminius will find mood kindred in Julius Caesar...
Augustus had a reign of 40 years and it was a civil war that brought him on the throne. Romans killed a lot of Romans. This Arminius issue was not such a big deal as some imagine.
You reap what you sow. The Germans were not ready for a King and they wouldn't have submitted to it without overwhelming force. Know your audience. Read the room.
Dude was a legend in our eyes, but we're looking at him from the perspective of Rome and all that happened after. From the Germanic perspective he was expendable and had a completely foreign vision for what was to come...
I commend Arminius for fighting for his people, but there's a really good reason they called them barbarians...

If Netflix sees this. Please make a season 2 with Germanicus coming back in 15AD, I would pay money to see it. - Everyone
Shut up and take my money
To see him losing?
They are too busy abusing children.
@Robzah exactly.. and Arminius lost
@Robzah I don't think germans would make a show about their national hero defeating a Roman army only to make the romans win in the next season

Lost history of sub Saharan Africa.
@@toomuchdebt5669 I'm from Nigeria, and just like in other parts of the world there are ancient stories of intrigue, battles and kingdom/empire building in Sub-saharan Africa. Unfortunately, a good deal of it is based on oral history rather than written and archaeological evidence.
Hello Abdul!! 😀
Just finished Barbarians so this is perfect. The map showing the movement throughout the story is always the thing I'm missing in films or tv series.
Unfortunately, too much exposition is not the best.
'Varus, give me back my legions'
Arminius: Understandable, Have a nice day
Good thing the Legions were avenged in Dresden 1945. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
@@KyoushaPumpItUp I don't think the Allies were Romans
@@KyoushaPumpItUp you realize that bombing raid was made by england, another Germanic country. Rome hasn't been shit since they lost those legions and collapsed thousands of years ago and now it's only surviving relevance is former glory and the catholic church.
@@whoswho1233don't forget Ferraris.
@@whoswho1233 LoL. wait yes they lost in Teutoburg but don`t forget Germanicus only 3-5 years later what he did to Arminius. Ah yeah 300 years later even more in the center of Germania (Harzhorn) still the Romans won battles. Oh wait our actual civilization is based on the Roman laws etc. Forgot the Italian Renaissance, Da Vinci, Marco Polo, Medici, Columbus etc. Yeah unfortunately after the Fall of the Roman Empire the big cities choose to create their own city states in Italy. Sad but immagine Venice, Florence, Naples, Milan, Genova, Siena etc. would have worked together instead against each other.
I like how Romans speak Latin, that's pretty cool. It's a bit weird that Germanic tribes are speaking modern Hochdeutsch, but I will let that one slide since it's super cool nontheless.
We have no idea how the Germanic sounded at the time. I think the first known example is 300 years after the events in question.
@@KingsandGenerals Try Dutch dialects or Frisian. Or compare which words the Germanic languages have still in common. The Cherusci lived close to the present Dutch border and the Eastern Provinces of the Netherlands share the same dialects in Germany.
Also, the series is a german production and from the german viewpoint. So the romans speak the foreign tongue, while the protagonists speak modern languages
@@KingsandGenerals They could've spit-balled an archaic Proto-Germanic in theory, like how they got a rough reconstructed archaic Latin in Romulus v. Remus. Though because it's a German production, I can understand why they went with the language choice if Arminius is a sort of national hero.
@@MMadesen Yes exactly. I put the english dub on which wasn't too bad.
It's sad to think that modern Germans are mostly unaware of Arminius' story due to textbooks omitting him because of his "association with militaristic nationalism". The 2,000th anniversary of his victory at the Teutoburg Forest was only lightly commemorated in Germany... It was a watershed moment for German history yet was only commemorated lightly. That's sad.
Thats what happens when you're on the losing end of two world wars lol.
Self guilt ridden bastards can’t even study history

Just a small note: Even though you corretly said that Germanicus recovered some of the roman eagles, in the video you showed all 3 standards. Just to make some clarification: Germanicus indeed recovered 2 eagles in years 15 and 16, but the last eagle was recovered by Publius Secundus is year 41, 22 years after Germanicus death.
I thought they lost 4 legions to Teutoberg, not 3?
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 They lost 3 legions. Not 4.
Eagles always fly home eventually.
Damnnnn K&G you got told !! 😂
@@superspies32 It was a humiliation of the empire. Roman viewed themself as masters of the universe surrounded by barbarians. And when they lost a standard it was a HUGE blow to their pride. So recovering the standards was a big deal.

Schroedinger's Dog release of the Sega Dreamcast.
Roman Soldier: "General, we are under attack!"
Varus: "Aight, Imma head out."
General public opinion in Rome at the time, according to the writers, was that: "Varus had more courage to die than to fight."
@@allennguyen4456 yup, but every Roman governor was expected to defend his office and assigned province to the death. Varus didn't do that, and even though it wouldn't make a lick of difference if he did, he was posthumously dishonoured in the senate.
@@SlayerRiley since when do you know romans for being brave?? Guys only fought undershield, there are accounts of roman soldiers on idistaviso battle waking up scared from nightmares of the horrible stuff the germans would do to them if they lost the battle again
@@atheistsgranddaddy5653 I don't think you understood the irony of the comment, or Roman statements concerning Varus' defeat.
@@SlayerRiley im saying that romans were a civilization with inferior individual soldier prowess who only achieved victories using ultraprotective shield formation and siege weapons so u cant expect too much bravery from Their soldiers much less theire officials anyway wheter its varus or someome else cuz they didnt have trust in theire own arms but only Their tactics, once Their formation broke or couldnt be put back togheter or like when they found themselves into uneven terrain they were like a bunch of startled chickens
Here a passage of Tacitus on the discovery of the battlefield by the legions of Germanicus, 5 years after Teutoburg.
"Then the army advanced to the last limits of the Bructeri, and everything was ravaged between Ems and Lippe, not far from the forest of Teutoburg, where, it was said, lay without burial the remains of Varus and its legions.
Caesar felt the desire to render the last honors to the chief and the soldiers; and all the warriors present were seized with a painful emotion as they thought of their loved ones, their friends, the chances of war and the fate of humans. Cécina is sent forward to probe the depths of the forest, and build bridges or causeways on swamps and deceptively solid grounds; then we enter these places full of sinister images and lugubrious memories. The first camp of Varus, with its vast enclosure, the dimensions of its place of arms, announced the work of three legions. Farther on, a half-ruined entrenchment, a shallow ditch, indicated the place where their feeble debris had gathered. In the middle of the plain, whitened bones; scattered or piled up, according to whether one had fled or fought, littered the earth jumbled up with the limbs of horses and broken weapons. Human heads hung from the trunks of trees; and in the neighboring woods one saw the barbarian altars where the tribunes and the principal centurions were immolated. A few soldiers who had escaped this carnage or who had since broken their chains, pointed to the place where the lieutenants perished, where the eagles were carried off. "Here Varus received a first wound; there his unhappy arm, turned against himself, delivered him from life." They said "on what tribunal Arminius harangued his army, how many gallows he raised, had pits dug for the prisoners; by what insults his pride outraged the Roman signs and eagles."
Tacitus, Annals, LX-LXI.
Hey, thanks for putting this up.
Watched Barbarians all in one night. Was great, make sure you watch it in the original language with subtitles on. Really cool to see the romans speaking Latin and the Germanians speaking German.
German, as spoken in the movie, has nothing to do with the germanic languages back then. This German language developed long after the middleages and into modern times.
Germanicus' story should be given at least a part in the end of the series.
Germanicus deserves his own series, to be honest. The darling of the empire, the likely successor and really the last true Roman, as many would say, deserves to have his own series. I think Netflix should, instead of grand narratives, tell specific stories of characters from history. It actually fits the series model very well. The ones I want to really see: Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and Marcus Furius Camillus
he should be the main character in the next series if there is one. Although I'm sure they will portray him as if he is Reinhard Heydrich...
SEASON 2
@@AmeyaVaidyaExEcutESC2 Bellisarius, though from another century, would be great as well.

I just watched Barbarians. It has a lot of details dramatized, but wow is the show so authentic and accurate in terms of Arms & Armor as well as the German and Latin. Of course they're speaking modern German but its still impressive. They speak classical Latin too!
Can't wait for Season 2
What an amazing timing of this notification. I literally just started watching the first episode of this series.

@@toutestvanite350 yeah, indeed someone who waches this Chanel would probably have a higher change of waching the series too.

I actually started watching Barbarians today, and all I have to say is WAOOOOO ! I've always been and always will be a history fanatic, so when show like this one comes out (and is as authentic and original) I can't help but get butterflies all inside me. Well done Netflix, keep it up PLEASEE ! And of course you guys Kings and Generals since day one 💯
Before watching the video, I have to commend you for making one on Arminius.
Not too many people know of him, sadly. From what I hear, the 2000th anniversary of his victory at Teutoburg forest was celebrated lightly. Kinda underwhelming considering that he was, I think, one of the main national figures during the German unification in the 19th century.
So, I'm glad you covered him. Guy needs some love. :)
@Vegetable Gremlin I did actually learn this from Wikipedia! I did a pretty bare-bones work on him in HS when writing about the fall of the Roman empire, so Wikipedia and some other stuff is where I got info about him. Only remembered the basics, though.
Provides a clear broad overview (unlike some other videos on this topic) that puts the battle in its historical context.
You mean like the infographic show?
infographic??? Probably america
Wow, the Barbarians second season is going to be amazing. Especially with his brother fighting for the Romans 🤣
Can't wait!!
I hope they reenact the shouting match between Arminius and Flavus prior to the battle of Idistaviso.

I love how you have used the actors faces in the artwork. I finished the show this week and I thought it was very good and I welcome more historical additions from Netflix
I've watched the series yesterday. Amazing video after that. And the fact that the Romans spoke Latin in the series is just amazing.
I have been binge watching Barbarians for the last 2 nights. Thoroughly engrossing and so well done. Thanks for this history overview. It is a German language production but the subtitles do not diminish this in any way.
Brilliant video! Getting sponsored by Netflix now....you guys have hit the big time! Proud to be a patron of you all!
Perfect timing just finished the show on Netflix loved it
This was an awesome video, it’s great to see more youtubers making history documentaries
Thank you. Fantastic channel, am happy to support this particular history channel
The series is awesome. I watched it in one day. Hope that a second season will appear. As always, your video turned out very well and is very informative. Many Thanks!
Arminius was such a skilled impostor when he was accused he wasn't voted out because everybody believed his innocence.
@T DW hahahahaahahahaha indeed

I think we need Germanicus docudrama after Barbarians.
Same!!!!
Barbarians is getting a Season 2, but maybe a spinoff season 3 could be focused on Germanicus.
@IRONHILLdwarf * Well every commander back then were butchers, Arminius was no better. No quarter asked, none given, steals wife, and presses for his own authority. Germanicus can easily be made into a new protagonist, one out to avenge his fellow ROmans.
The easiest emotionnal way to tie this together is to use the eagles as symbols of friends he "had" within the legions and the equites that were exterminated. Play it with flashbacks during quiet scenes to build up his relationship, including with Arminius who could be played as a military school friend (I know schola militarum was only invented a few centuries later). Have it "up close and personnal". And trust me, except for Germans (who can blame them), all will cheer for Germanicus.
@IRONHILLdwarf * Vae Victis!!
@IRONHILLdwarf * After the Germanic tribes crushed the Roman legionaries at Teutoburg Forest, the Germans butchered any survivors or used them as human sacrifices to their gods.
Just found out Netflix's Barbarians came out. I'm so excited, been wanting a movie or series on this event for so long. Seen this and clicked instantly! Love this channel and glad yall did this, watching this before the Netflix series
Alway stunning and always get better and better, can’t wait for the next video 👍🏻
Just saw the whole series in one night, the following day i see “Arminius” in kings and generlas! Oh hell yeah what a coincidence 👌🏻
Cant wait for the next season now
Yey! I came here after watching Barbarians. Excellent show. It got me interested, and I immediately searched for its historical background.
Great stuff. Love all of your videos. This one is excellent!
Great video as well. Proud of Netflix for actually releasing Barbarians, the show was done very well. Enjoyed it a lot watched the whole thing in one day.
Fantastic video as always, i hope we'll soon be able to see a video about that Great Illyrian Revolt, cause there isn't much about it to be found on youtube, although Suetonius calls it "the greatest threat since Hanibal".
Wait.
Germanicus recovered two eagles, the third was recovered by Claudius
Amazing animation! Thank you for the information!
Excellent video full of fresh details that are not common knowledge. Thanks!
True Barbarians is decently historically accurate. Like its as accurate is a film can get without having the entire production from the director, to the cast, to the set designers and costume designers all being historians themselves. It’s definitely refreshing and a step in the right direction. I’m sure us huge fans of history can tell you, there is so much history out there that doesn’t need to be romanticized, dramatized too much, or over fantasized. There are plenty historical accounts that are deserving of well produced shows.
I hope there is a season 2, this show was so great.
Absolutly beautiful vid. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
After watching Barbarians, I was exactly looking for something like this. Thank you!
I gulped down the series in an afternoon. When series 2?
This. This right here is the quality shit I love you guys for. Seriously job well done. Glad to see Netflix putting out good ancient history stuff like Barbarians. A decent peace offering after the Cuties debacle.
Love the channel and the content, your channel is clearly the best on CZcams! 😍😍😍😍
Great video! I'm actually enjoying this Netflix show. I hope they keep producing historical shows. Cheers, from Brazil!
Do an episode on Rome's Dacian wars and Decebalus, the Dacian king hero. To this day, there are more statues of Dacian warriors in Rome than there are of any other foe to the empire, which shows how much respect the Romans paid to these people north of the Danube.
Even more remarkable is what happened afterwards. Dacia is still called Romania and speaks the only Romance language in the region, and people are proud of the Roman connection. Who else adopted their conquerors like this?
@Kancelar Bismark google the Arch of Constantine and notice the huge statues of Dacians sitting on top of it. I rest my case.
Finished Barbarians, bloody good show. Can't wait for season 2 when the Empire strikes back and looking forward to see Germanicus
I don't think they will show that it would ruin their love for the barbarians as their is no winning or happy ending their for them characters. Unless they make the romans the main characters.
They might bring in Flavus as a foil for Arminius for season 2 i think. That didnt happen but it would be perfect for Drama.
@@ArmouredProductions nah because after this event Arminus does not really have real victories anymore, nothing as grand as Teutoburg and he loses a lot.

Awesome ! TY! Very informative
Ok, so I just got through two episodes of Barbarians and am now on the third. Watching it with subtitles and really liking it so far. For one thing, being half-italian it's really nice seeing romans as the ''bad guys'' for a change. I think the show does a really good job of showing the difficulties and the trauma a tribal society must have felt when coming up against the roman juggernaut. I also really like the character of Arminius, they do a good job of showing him as caught between two cultures. I thought the pacing was really good too, the way tensions slowly escalate between the two sides is well done. As a history student and dabbler in anthropology I particularly liked the fact they show the clash between the roman and the germanic concept of Law, since it would play such a large part in forming what would later become the european kingdoms and eventually nations.
It hasn't got the same feel to it as the HBO series 'Rome', but in my opinion it doesn't need to. Rome was totally fixated on roman politics, life and culture. With Barbarians they focus a lot more on this violent clash between the roman world and the non-roman world and so far I think they do a good job of it, particularly since most of what we actually know about the Germans of the time is through roman and archeological sources. It also doesn't go full on into dick-swinging ubermensch Vikings mode, which is appreciated.
Pretty good story too so far.
8+/10, would see a second season. Maybe one focusing on the changes that happened when the Germans got the upper hand and took over the Empire.
I find the History around the Battle of Teutoburg Forest one of Rome's History most passionate ones.
A Barbaric Prince turned Roman citizen, that didn't forgot his roots; an apparatus of Roman administration to whom was given the command of a vast new province, acting foolishly due to their blinding pride; the absolute disaster where three full legions were obliterated, even after Germanic chieftans loyal to Rome had warn Varus of what was waiting them; the shock of Augustus himself when given the dark news ( _Quintili_ _Vare, _legiones_ _redde_ !); the loss of a province that forever divided the region - even after unified by Charlemagne centuries ahead; the brutal payback leaded by Germanicus, and the retrieval of the Legions' Eagles, safely guarded in the new temple of Mars Ultor in Rome...
Trully a landmark in Human History.
Charlemagne didn't unify Germania because everything shattered after his death. He was crowned Roman Emperor but his realm didn't last and can hardly be considered the same as the Holy Roman Empire.
It was a Saxon, Otto the Great, descendant of one of the people Charlemagne conquered, that forged the Holy Roman Empire.
It's kinda like a Roman 9/11 in how much it affected Roman foreign policy as well.
@@b.ballooon9225 No not really, every defeat by Hannibal.and the Romans where defeated by Hannibal again and again was worse. So no it was rather insignificant.
@@TorianTammas Yah but their power wasn't nearly as dominant during those days as Augustus's reign. I sorta meant that the Roman Empire probably felt somewhat invincible during that time period but Teutoburg kinda broke that.
..and the backstabbing by his own tribe members. Its like movie but real...
Thank you for your incredible channel.
Excellent! Thanks guys!
Just finished watching Barbarians on Netflix, really cool show! Here's hoping for a season 2!
Vercingetorix was marched to Rome to be killed. Arminius was marched from Rome to Germania to kill the Germanic culture. He closed the circle. Arminius, Avenger of Vercingetorix, hero and liberator of the Germanic tribes.
Very well done. You should consider doing a video on Germanicus at some point. He was a great general who is often overlooked by historians. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!
Too nice historic video with clear explaining of events and behind facts which producing these events

"Dammit hanz! They will hear you!"
Yes. Romans feared Barbarians so much, that they used them to decorate their roads on crosses as to get used to their moaning and stench.
kinda like vietnam..
I wonder when you're gonna do a video on Hannibal and the 2nd Punic war. Thanks for making such great content, it has been wonderful watching this channel grow over the years. Truly one of my favorite history channels on youtube.
Although I loved Barbarians in Netflix, your series and videos are way cooler K&G. Keep up the good work.

@Tom Bruise They definitely weren't used to create this dining room set and wall panels.
Informative as ever Devin! Notably, Armenius makes an appearance in total war arena, where he's really fast and fun!
Awesome episode! Hopefully you’ll do one about Theodoric the great and even Odoacer as they both pretty much ruled as Roman style leaders after the fall and maintained much of Roman culture. One arguably at his peak had the power of a Roman emperor.
The fact that they used german and latin just makes it more authentic 😁
Except the German part. There were various dialects and they all probably sounded distictively different than modern day German
HELLO KING AND GENERAL , THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT JUGURTHA WHO WAS A KING OF NUMIDIA AND HERO OF IMAZIGHRAN , AND WHO LED THE JUGURTHINE WAR AGAINST ROME
AND TACFARINAS WHO DESERT THE ROMAN ARMY AND HE LED HIS PEOPLES AND HE MAKE A WAR AGAINST ROME
You should get a new keyboard. I think your caps-lock button is broken.
Ah, Jugurtha, that prize of Marius and Sulla. Not the most savvy of political opponents considering he was prone to bribery and running away.
Nicholas Christiaan Scheckter exactly

Was watching Barabens in Netflix and now KNG drops the video. Awesome timing.

Amazing, as always.
18:27 oh my god. Segestes looks exactly the same from the show
Honestly, if I were someone who knew Arminius, I would always sleep with one eye open.
Thanks for all your hard work. Your channel is one of the best on CZcams! If I may offer a suggestion/correction ... you use the word "historiocity" in some of your videos - the word is historicity.
The background music during the intro is lit🔥
