On this episode of Prussia vs Everyone...

But seriously, I'm impressed that Prussia managed anything remotely resembling victory with nearly every major power throwing armies into this sanguinous maelstrom.

As an aside note: excellent series really sheds light on this fascinating war and its kaleidoscope of personalities.

Can’t emphasize enough how much a learned about Frederick from this series. He’s now one of my favorite generals. Can’t wait to see how he pulls it off

[Dokja]

I am finally back to this series and now up to date with it. This is my close second favourite series on history after Epic History's Napoleon series. You have done excellent work. The video, audio and maps along with unit depictions etc have improved significantly. The changes you have implemented significantly enhance the watching experience. Sincerely thankful for this series.

Edit: Btw, you don't narrate anymore? I can't tell anymore.

Fun Fact: Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, the famous Prussian field marshal of the Napoleonic era, served in a Swedish hussar regiment during the Seven Years' War. He was captured by Belling's hussars during a minor skirmish in 1760 and subsequently switched sides.

Very fine video!
It's crazy to think Prussia could last seven years surrounded by Great Powers.
I always wanted to learn about these wars but alas, there was nothing on YT and I have sadly not the time to read about it. I genuinly thank you for your hard work and much luck to the channel :)

[Demulon]

This is a fantastic series in which I've learned a great deal from. The animated maps are incredible and your cited quotes and sources add a while new level of engagement! Far better than any uni lecture I've attended.
Your previous lecture style is missed, as your cadence adds empasis to certain points -- as it transitions nicely with the visuals. I have much to learn from you. Bring the face-to-camera back, I say. You're a natural digital educator, brother :)
Your choice of AI generated art prompts have gotten much better. Keep it up!

I look forward to learning about the next area you're passionate about covering.
Cheers from Canada!

I like it when you do indept videos in smaller and lesser known battles. The famous battles already have more videos anyone can see while the smaller ones never get any.

[Leaffordes]

And, just like that, the largest field-battle (along with Neukalen in 1762?) in the Swedish-Prussian Pomeranian war has been covered. What a glorious little battle!

Awesome episode. Thank you!

[Constantine]

Your narration skills have really improved man, great job on the content lately. Can't believe you're now at 167k subs wow congrats

[noobster]

Only a miracle could safe Prussia now...

[robbabcock_]

What a terrific series! This is on par with or even superior to what History Channel used to do back when they took their works seriously.

[lmccampbell]

to be able to go back and meet these men would be amazing

[TheAustrianAnimations]

Great video as always! I think the last major battle for Frederick's Prussia will be Burkersdorf against Daun before the Seven Years' War in Europe ends.

[benbhogal]

Amazing series, thank you for all the work you put in! Just want to say that I much prefer your narration than the other narrator, your voice IS this channel

[thetharmy]

Keep the going! I love these Frederick the Great Videos! I share them will all my history buff friends!

[merlin]

The Pomeranian War may have been little more than a footnote (as evidenced by Frederick's own words shown on screen) and I doubt the words I said a couple of weeks ago on your "Which front should I cover next" poll had much sway on your decision to cover this battle or anything else Pomeranian War based, but I still appreciate the effort you put in on this video to cover it.

[SportZone]

Thank you so much! I wanted to learn about Frederick campaings all my life and no one has this videos but you. Thank you, thank you! Perhaps once your done put it all together in one video because I will defenetly watch it.

[metarus]

We need more videos on the Pomeranian War and the Hanoverian War ... including the Siege of Kolberg and the Siege of Straslund

[sirdarklust]

I've been watching this series and just want to say thank you. Take care.
