Screaming "come and see how a marshal of France meets his death!" after having several horses killed under him will always be one of the coolest things ever said

"Soldiers, when I give the command to fire, fire straight at my heart. Wait for the order. It will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation. I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her… Soldiers Fire!" Nay, possibly apocryphal

“Ah, unfortunate Ney! So many times exposed to enemy bullets, you were destined for French bullets.” Victor Hugo

[obi-wankenobi]

He was absolutely beloved by his men. Accounts talk about how he could inspire men to perform superhuman feats simply with his presence. Such a cool guy, and one that came from humble upbringings.

"Wait for my orders, It will be my last to you" is cold as hell

[jacobsow]

Ney is by far my favorite of all of Napoleon's Marshals

He was not fiercely loyal to the throne or whoever sits on it, only to France itself

Although he maybe one of the most controversial commander to a point of recklessness, it was his bravery in the battlefield that made him a legend

Ney is my favorite of napoleon’s marshals.

I would have sympathised more with the Bourbons, but it was a crime to get rid of this man. What a truly brave heart Ney possessed. He should have been spared.

[Abdullatif-pjwq]

Damn that man was so Courageous.
Even when he knew he will die he didn't leave his motherland. I wish i had courage like a Ney😢😢😢😢.

His last words: "wait for my order..."
He was a real leader...

Dude was the last man to leave Russia 🇷🇺 what a GOAT 🐐

I love his portrait with the musket at Kovno I think, walking between the men. Ney exemplified what I love about most of Napoleon's Marshalls. They were largely men that would have gone unnoticed had it not been for the Revolution. They weren't pretentious, they were there to kick ass.

[everythingexpert]

Finally a channel with good information and more importantly, NOT USING AI GENERATED IMAGES FOR EVERYTHINGGGG

I greatly appreciate finding and using historical depictions

"Wait For My Order, Will Be My Last To You" -Marshall May

Words said Like a true warrior

[Lrzmsibelts]

He is beloved by his men because he doesn’t use his rank to hide in the security of being a higher rank, he stands along with all the other common men which are the ones who really compose his unit and the napoleonic army, seeing a marshal of such value in the frontline is something I believe no one would do even in those times.

[stoyanatipov]

A brave man who cared for nothing but his moral compass and facts.

[pancakemacbuttery]

During the retreat, Ney had found a 5 year old boy abandoned by his mother lying in the snow off the road, Ney attempted twice giving it back to her before he was abandoned twice. So Ney gave the baby to a woman who adopted him, the baby and the new mother survived the retreat. The woman who cried out that she would live to see France and the baby would not, did not survive.

when he was in court his lawyer said to judge ney's hometown now under prussian control(according to treaty of paris 1815 his hometown, saarlouis, annexed by prussians) so he is now prussian and he can't be judged by french court. after he heard this words he stood up and shouted "je suis français et je resterai français!" ("i am French and i will remain french!"). what a great hero. may god rest him peace

[Ericisnotachannel]

He wasn't the best marshal,
but he's my favorite marshal.
