Herr Feldmarschall?
@murgatroidus777 Says:
Napoleon had haemorrhoids😫
According to various sources, Napoleon’s doctors diagnosed him with haemorrhoids, and it is said that his haemorrhoids were so severe during the Battle of Waterloo that he couldn’t sit on his horse to command his army.
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.

“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 .

When UK and Germany team up you better run.
@Alienguyfromkepler 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😂

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.
@Roan_Starstrider 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".
