One source mentions that Napoleon’s haemorrhoids were “so severe” that he couldn’t ride his horse to the battlefield, which could have contributed to his defeat. Another source suggests that Napoleon’s haemorrhoids were “painful thrombosed” and that this could have affected his generalship during the battle. While some sources dispute the severity of Napoleon’s haemorrhoids, there is a general consensus that he did suffer from the condition.>> <<@AUSTRIAMAN-ic9pi says : “Nimm es jetzt!” Ahh looking 😭🙏>> <<@mrkus-nc7od says : Have a look at Bluechers General s at the Battle I like Buelow and his actions that Day at Waterloo 😊 l V .>> <<@sonatine3266 says : When UK and Germany team up you better run.>> <<@My_gorebox_nameis_guntenderman says : Fun fact: herrferrmarchal actually drank a poison for prussia before his death and later secured the castle in kaub, his last words are "raise the flag for Prussia!">> <<@bluedragontoybash2463 says : Why almost no one knew who Blucher is ? History written by the Anglo Saxon.>> <<@sterno5119 says : Don't forget that Blücher had Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Clausewitz in his staff. Their profound strategic talents matched Blücher's battle skills. Patton must have adored Blücher.>> <<@castrogonzalez614 says : Rangehen wie Blücher an der Katzbach!>> <<@vhblocker says : The Bluchers settled in Edgefield, South Carolina. Eventually they Americanized the name to Blocker, and headed west, to Texas. Dan Blocker (Hoss Cartwright from Bonanza) was a descendant. 😅>> <<@anthonykology1728 says : Beef Blucher😂>> <<@jamesdarke5641 says : Awesome.. my several greats grandfather on my mother's side.>> <<@robnewman6101 says : Waterloo 1970.>> <<@robnewman6101 says : R.I.P Blucher.>> <<@kanalisationerstellen says : dude you show like zero maps :3 makes it hard to understand battles and where they go>> <<@thedubwhisperer2157 says : Fun Fact. I share a direct bloodline to von Blucher through my German father!>> <<@GreatUncleEscobar says : George Stephenson named his first locomotive Blucher, so at least he got a choo choo train.>> <<@samuellaird5184 says : Blucher is one of only two soldiers to be awarded the Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, Germany’s greatest military award until 1945. The other person was Paul Von Hindenburg during WW1.>> <<@robnewman6101 says : To von Blücher. The Hero of the day at The Battle of Waterloo in 1815. To Blucher.>> <<@BurlapJohnW says : Christopher McDougall's book, Natural Born Heroes centers around the Battle for Crete in WWII. He briefly mentions Blucher's descendants being wiped out. I was left with the impression Crete ended his blood line.>> <<@vonries says : It just illustrates that old saying history is written by the victor.>> <<@LordHoth_90 says : “Raise high the Black Flag, my children! I’ll shoot any man that shows mercy!”>> <<@eccehomer8182 says : Blucher... the name that strikes fear into the hear of every horse!>> <<@christianlong-lo3jm says : Blucher should never get credit of helping or winning Waterloo it was Napoleon who defeated himself through mistakes and unlucky events he was never a good general he was mediocre at best>> <<@jonathandemy-geroe4991 says : Interesting fact that was missed out, the Prussian officer who captured young Blücher was actually a distant relation which was why he was so keen to recruit him. Also, contrary to your claim that he held no loyalty to Sweden, Blücher actually refused the first few offers by the Prussian officer to transfer his loyalties but finally caved after being presented with the uniform of a hussar who had been killed earlier in the skirmish that saw Blücher captured.>> <<@jjsc4396 says : Waterloo: He was 74 years (sic) old, still in pain and discomfort from his adventures at Ligny, still stinking of schnapps and of rhubarb liniment, yet he is all enthusiasm and energy.>> <<@briandoss9232 says : Anyone else confused by the sudden resolution change?>> <<@billolsen4360 says : No mention of Frau Blücher?>> <<@ehrldawg says : Up next;General John pershing>> <<@pamelahomeyer748 says : Thank you this is the man who actually defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and not the Dandy Wellington>> <<@Thisandthat8908 says : I remember a QI bit about Blücher. But there was none of the battle stuff or his career. It was more about him "believing he was pregnant with an Elephant" or some such BS. that's a way to bury ones "legacy".>> <<@Uniqorn says : I am related to this guy 🙂>> <<@teammbomb1417 says : During WW2 when the Red Army was advancing into Germany, Russian troops broke into Blücher’s tomb, ripped his remains right from out of his casket, and used his skull as a freaking football. *Now that’s what I call disrespectful.*>> <<@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 says : Sadly his grave was desecrated by the soviets, one day I hope the same sort of treatment shall beset Lenin's, Stalin's, Mao's, Churchill's, FDR's, Wilson's, Nixon's & Bushes,>> <<@seandobson499 says : Without the timely arrival of Blucher, it is likely that the French would have been victorious at Waterloo and Blucher, injured though he was, was determined to keep his promise to Wellington, which says a lot about Blucher as a man and a soldier. As Wellington is known to have said:"give me night or give me Blucher">> <<@raka522 says : I am pleasantly surprised by this good biography of Blücher on an English language channel. When Blücher was captured by the Prussians as a Swedish hussar at the age of 17, he didn't just switch sides 😉 He had relatives in the Prussian army who stood up for him and he was officially replaced by releasing another captured Swedish officer in his place. He didn't initially get his honorary title "Marshal Forwards" for his style of attack, but rather from his Russian Cossacks in his Silesian army in 1813/14. They could not speak German, but Blücher often personally led them into battle. He called all his soldiers his children, and often shouted "Forward, my children!" as he went into battle, saber drawn. This "Forward!" was remembered by the Cossacks, so that each of them knew who "Marshal Forward" meant. Blücher's soldiers loved him and would have rode through hell for him, while Wellington was at best respected by his soldiers. As for Waterloo and the hype surrounding Wellington's involvement there, I see it as less heroic than most. In the end, Wellington did little more than hold his own Lines from a good defensive position against the French opponent. A victory was not possible for him, and on the contrary, the French would have overrun him if the Prussians had not appeared in time. It was the 1st Prussian Corps whose leader Ziethen, against his given orders, decided to support Wellington's left flank, after which he was able to withdraw troops from there to reinforce his centre, and it was the Prussians at Plancenoit who forced Napoleon to send 2/3 of his reserves there, which he then lacked against Wellington! In terms of sheer numbers, Waterloo was more of a French/German battle in terms of the origin of the soldiers, while the British troop strength was rather small with around 26,000 soldiers involved. My personal miracle of Waterloo is actually the disappearance of 10,000´s Prussian soldiers! If you often read that about 50,000 Prussians fought at Waterloo, and if you add 14,000 Prussians under General Thielmann who fought against Grouchy at Wavre, you get only 64,000 men. After the Battle of Ligny, after deducting the losses and desertion of the soldiers of the Rhineland states formerly allied with Napoleon, the Prussian army that marched to Wavre still consisted of between 90,000 and 95,000 soldiers! Where have the Rest gone??? In one of Blücher's last despatches to Wellington, he promised the Prussians would arrive in time, and if Wellington retreated, he, Blücher, would attack Napoleon alone the following day with the entire Prussian army!>> <<@milosjanos5058 says : Germans didn´t forget, one of Admiral Hipper class cruiser was named Blucher. Didn´t fight very long it is sunk in fjord near Oslo.>> <<@francisebbecke2727 says : Blucher was a bit like the Union General Thomas, unsung. Let's do some singing.>> <<@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs says : Blücher! **horses neigh** 🙂>> <<@kevinforbesofficial says : NEIGH!!!!!!!!!>> <<@christopherseivard8925 says : Just curious,what about the “ Boucher mocs” any connection?>> <<@MysteriumArcanum says : Swedish regiment called the Hussars known for drinking and partying "When the Winged Hussars Arrived!" (Yes I know the Winged Hussars are Polish and disbanded about a century earlier but I almost needed to make that Sabaton reference)>> <<@jeffreyruttibaker1081 says : ALL GEBHARD WANTS TO DO IS THE ROCKAWAY. MY PRUSSIANS DONT DANCE, THEY JUST F UP SOME FRENCH AND, DO THE ROCKAWAYYYY. YA FEEL MEH? LEAN BACK, COME ON, LEAN BACK, THATS RIGHT, LEAN BACK, LEAN BACK!>> <<@donsandsii4642 says : Video not working. Blinking white rectangle on right, size tiny>>
