Every man who chose to make a last stand deserves respect. Enemy or not, they stood for something that no one can take from them. These are some fantastic legends!

Of all the YouTube’s who do this kind of content stuff I still consider your content the highest quality since you actually animate your stuff.

Fun fact: the siege of Szigetvár, and the life of Nikolaus Zrinskij was immortalized in a novel called "Szigeti Veszedelem" which was written by his own great grandson, who was also called Nikolaus Zrinskij, and also was a successful general against the Ottomans

12:52 I imagine that soldier laughing maniacally as he lit the gunpowder.

[michaeldude]

You REALLY stepped up the animation quality for this video, can't wait to see what you do next!

19:07 the original war cry goes 'bole so nihal, sat sree akaal'

[My]

AND THAT'S WHEN THE DEAD MEN, ARE MARCHING AGAIN!

[sohamroy]

Sargarhi battle also has a movie. And it's enough to make anyone cry. If anyone wants to see
it's KESARI movie
If any foreigner wants you can watch with subtitles

In 1660, Baji Prabhu Deshpande, commander of the first Maratha Empire, withheld a force of 10, 000 Mughal soilders with a measily force of 300 in a narrow hill pass for 18 hours to buy time for his king to escape to another fort. He had promised the king that he would not lay down his weapons or accept death until he hears the cannon shot from the neighboring fort which would signify his safe escape. He was weilding two "Dand Patta"(s) in either hand, one of the most hardcore weapons at the time. He was grievously injured, but still continued fighting until finally after a day and half, he finally hears the cannon shot from the other fort and then lays down his life.

He is known as a reverred martyr of the Maratha war of Independence today, and is one of the most respected medieval war generals in Maharashtra.

I think the thing about the Attack Of The Dead Men that interests me the most is that one of the major figures of the Russian side (and one of the survivors) was Władysław Strzemiński, a Polish man who went on to be a major figure in Constructivist avant-garde artwork, a major influence on other abstract art styles of the era like Bauhaus and De Stilj, and created his own theory of artwork called Unism. And then, when Poland was under the control of the PZPR (the Polish United Workers' Party), he was ousted from a position instructing at the Museum of Art, Łódź, and his artwork was either removed from public viewing or destroyed, leading to a genuine war hero, recipient of the Order Of St. George for his heroism at Osowiec Fortress, a man who lost an arm, leg, and sight in one eye to the gas attacks, and a genuinely brilliant artist, to die of either hunger or tuberculosis as a sign painter because the communist party deemed his artwork unfit of the party's vision of what "artwork" meant. I do wish that he was more known about, but hey maybe people learning about the battle at Osowiec Fortress will get them to learn more about him as well.

I am happy you mentioned the battle of Saragarhi. These Singhs were one of the bravest soldiers we have known. Very proud as a Sikh to see them mentioned 🪯

[spongeyspikes]

Man, Germany almost made a zombie apocalypse there, and to make it worse... Zombies... That uses Firearms.

[therandomstuff]

My heart still goes out to the Saragari Sikh fighters who made their last stand.. in the face of ultimate defeat.. they still stood their ground.. also to the last person. " Permission to use my rifle" just goes to show how brave and honourable they were

[Corni-xu]

That has got to be one of the best sponsors ever. I love ytbers who dont just read the script and put no effort into it and instead actually try to make it interesting. Very well made 💪👏

I would give to this list "Battle of Hodowce" where 100 polish winged hussars and about 100 to 300 infantry man succesfuly defended against 40'000 to 70'000 Turkish soldiers. Battle took place in 1694.

[jokodihaynes]

The attack of the dead men was an inspiration for the walking dead

Your narration is always on point, you actually made me feel as if i was in the battlefield myself witnessing all these historic moments . Keep up the good work and keep flourishing .

[realtheodore]

I saw the video title and instantly knew kesari movie battle would be mentioned here. Their names are still engraved on a wall in that place. Brave men indeed.
