WHAT A CHANNEL!!!! the fact that these videos are a thing on a public forum puts history channel and national geographic to shame!!!
-
The Napoleon series is the best history series I've ever watched. Just brilliant.
-
You know a general is a REAL badass when he takes on an entire continent of allied armies copying his tactics and strategies and still dishes out the pain train.
-
Napoleon's victories during The Six Day Campaign are probably the greatest examples of "defeat in detail" in military history. Absolutely genius.
-
You know the party is over when Davout is unable to join in
-
I came here faster than the training of French recruits in 1814
-
Outnumbered 4-1, deserted by essentially all his allies, hugely lacking in cavalry, most of his infantry are just learning how to hold a gun and at points he had to command whilst also manning the artillery. The fact that Napoleon made this into any campaign at all is astonishing. The fact he actually scored a series of victories is just ridiculous.
-
This campaign is where Napoleon basically went all critical mode. Like when a boss battle phase turns deadliest when the boss's life meter turns red.
-
We've all been waiting
-
“We’re in the endgame now” - Napoleon Bonaparte
-
The fact that in some battle his casualties are 600 and the allies are 3500 is just simply astounding
-
This is the best line ever - 31:56 " He was the last figure in history to combine total political power with frontline, military genius - in the mould of Alexander, and Caeser"
-
Seeing Napoleon’s banner fall at 29:53 was surprisingly emotional - having watched this series religiously since Austerlitz that banner has always been there...
-
As a french, I must say that even in school we barely study Napoléon. Watching your serie gave me a renew interest for the history of my country
-
300 000 against 70000. He is not 3 times faster but 6. He doesn't kill 2for1 but 4for1 Enemies are more than 4 times his size, and they flee because they know he is in charge. If i read a novel with this kind of character, i would be chastising the writer for his lack of nuance. One of the few country elite that deserved such title.
-
Imagine being a soldier in the allied armies. You all know what this man is capable of, and you receive news that he earned 4 victories in 6 days against the odds. Now, that is soldiering.
-
A marvelous end to a world class series. What Epic History has done is reconstruct the past in such a way, I dare say, it was as if we were living through it. The charisma and tenacity of Napoleon can be felt through the videos, along with every single soldier who fought in those years. It is such quality content that has and could be set down as a part of history.
-
Seriousy, an HBO show about Napoleon would be the best thing ever.
-
Napoleon's counter attack against ungodly odds is some thing to be admire.
