Since you've finished featuring Napoleon's Bravest Marshal, I highly recommend telling the life of the Emperor's legendary Iron Marshal - *Marshal* *Louis-Nicolas* *Davout*

[LostInSweden-cczu]

Certainly one of the greatest rearguard generals in history. If you get to choose one man to guard your retreat, even in the most hopeless conditions, ask God to give you Ney.

I've always been fascinated and intigued by Marshall Ney. Talk about him all the time.
I am a real Ney sayer.

Merci beaucoup! Brilliant documentary! ❤ I subscribed to your channel.
I've read a number of historical books in three languages (English, French and Russian) about Marshal Ney - the Bravest of the Brave, the charismatic and chivalrous military commander. He was loved and adored by his soldiers, and respected by all his enemies. Not so many military commanders in the world history deserved respect of the enemies.
The judicial farce that was his trial in the Chamber of Peers in Paris, following his execution on December 7, 1815, actually was a cynical political assassination - and the biggest injustice ever committed in the history of France.
The fact that even two centuries later people in so many countries, and not just in France, still remember this man and continue to discuss, proves that true heroes like Marshal Ney are immortal.

One of my favorite military leaders of all time. Brave and direct. All the way to the end.

“It is only when aggression is legitimate that one can expect prodigies of valour”
Marshal Ney

[MMoreau]

Congratulations on this precise chronology of this great marshal of the empire.

[martinseele]

Had Napoleon won we would have a better Europe today. Ney believed in this.

[danielsantiagourtado]

One of the best marshals truly the bravest of the brave! You guys are the Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Tomatohater]

Another great biography on a very intertesting military leader. Loved it, gentlemen.

[Marguerite-tvtq]

"This man is a Lion! His courage gave me Europe!" - Napoleon said about Marshal Ney after his decisive victory in the battle of Friedland on 14 June 1807. After this splendid victory Napoleon reached the apogee of his power, he actually became the master of Europe. The greatest merit in it was due to Marshal Ney.

[russellhenderson]

He certainly had courage and his rear guard skills where legendary.
Rear guard fighting is a phenomenal skill, hold for a bit, retreat and repeat. Tired troops etc he must have had some rousing words for his troops.
100 battles and dozens of horses shot under him. He had pluck and luck. Such a shame he never got to watch his children grow old.

Ney: immortal. His executioners: dust.

[byron]

We in the Philippines have the same Marshall Ney of Napoleon Bonaparte his name is General Gregorio del Pilar just like Marshall Ney who covered the retreat of Napoleon Bonaparte during his campaign in Moscow in 1812 against the Russian Army and the Cossacks General Gregorio Del Pilar fought the rear guard action when 5, 000 American soldiers are pursuing the Philippine President then General Emilio Aguinaldo at the mountains in the Sierra Madre Tirad Pass with only 50 sharpshooters Filipino soldiers and they die defending the pass k!

Ney was a great man, a great soldier, and one of the greatest Frenchmen in history

[chnjk]

Ney was an honorable and patriotic marshal who fought for France. May he rest in peace. Now we wait for Jean Lannes, the tip of Napoleon's spear.

[cesaravegah]

He could had avoided the death penalty just pointing out that he wasnt a french citizen since his birth place wasnt french territory after the war, he refused to do so and rather than live like a foreing mercenary he died as a French General, that kind of moral courage is hard to find.

[ramuner]

Marshal Ney is glad watching it from Heaven. This is the true immortality ❤

[novachronoyt]

He was my favourite French Marshal along side with Lannes

[CAM]

one of the few generals whose last battle with wellington while not quite a victory wasn't a defeat either
