Hold your Sabatons. The Poles aren’t here yet.

It seems we are getting ever more closer to one of the greatest last stands in history, the Siege of Eger 1552. Or at least I hope it will be covered. Such an epic story.

When the Ottomans left, they left behind their coffee recipes and presses. This is how espresso type coffee was introduced to Europe. It was called Cafe Vienna and the presses later got modified in Italy which gave rise to the current form of espresso. Starbucks owes its existence to the Siege of Vienna!

Juat to add a little more info:
In addition to the German Landsknechts, a contingent of 700-800 Spanish harquebusiers was sent. Only 250 Spanish survived. This elite infantry excelled in the defense of the northern area and with discretion fire prevented the Ottomans from settling in the Danube meadows, near the ramparts, where they could have breached with enough space to work. These elite soldiers also built additional palisades and trap pits that would be essential during the siege. They were under the command of Marshal Luis de Ávalos, with captains Juan de Salinas, Jaime García de Guzmán, Jorge Manrique, and Cristóbal de Aranda.

"She [Tolkien’s aunt Grace] alleged that the family name ['Tolkien'] had originally been ‘von Hohenzollern’, for they had emanated from the Hohenzollern district of the Holy Roman Empire. A certain George von Hohenzollern had, she said, fought on the side of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria at the Siege of Vienna in 1529. He had shown great daring in leading an unofficial raid against the Turks and capturing the Sultan’s standard. This (said Aunt Grace) was why he was given the nickname Tollkühn, ‘foolhardy’; and the name stuck."

Still 150 years early to pop a Sabaton reference...

Landsknecth dont get enough recognition like the famed winged hussars for their role in defending Vienna

It's worth noting during the Siege of Vienna that the seventy-year-old Nicholas, Count of Salm, was wounded by a falling rock. He would ultimately die from his wounds a few months after the end of the siege, on May 4, 1530.
