This is incredible. I was gripped the entire time. The delivery, the pacing, the story telling on display here is near perfect. I felt so many different emotions. Hearing the perspective of those on the ground really brings the story to life. This is history, but also the lives of real people. It may be morbid but it is completely fascinating.

@micnorton9487 10 місяців тому

It's kinda morbid but most people who are interested in war aren't particularly warlike,, but feel a nagging fascination with it because as Patton said,, "All other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance when compared to war"... Or as another more cynical author said,, war is "a creature whose vastness alone made it sacred to man",, but my point is that many average people seem soothed by war history because they're safely detached but feel an empathy or sympathy that's paradoxically comforting...

@tigerwoods373 7 місяців тому

Quotes and first hand accounts really bring it to life. It's not just words on a page anymore, these people experienced the most horrendous events man can create and they share their experiences or feelings with us. It's not just about glorious tactics and massive personalities. The common soldier had lives with problems not so different than our own. I think it's important to look at it this way. War should be avoided at all costs. Too many people today look at the war too fondly, sure it's interesting but it should also teach us an important lesson in why we should avoid war at all costs. Imagine how it would have been to clean up a battlefield. So many dead people with horrific wounds. The smell would be beyond description. Doctors treating casualties with primitive equipment or just amputating limbs. The sounds of men screaming or praying would scar you forever. I see why many would rather avoid describing it as it's very uncomfortable to think about but is necessary.

I guess you’re right, I always translate the Russian word “knyaz’” as duke

@Tallorian Рік тому

It works as "prince" when you refer to the rulers of the feudal Rus states or to the members of the royal dynasty (brothers, cousins, uncles of the emperor etc) in the imperial Russia.

Nadezhda Andreyevna Durova (Надежда Андреевна Дурова) is such a uniquely singular figure in this colossal historical event. Her fellow male soldiers said she was "peerless" in courage and was awarded the Cross of St George by Czar Alexander himself for her actions to save her fellow soldiers.

You and your team are to be properly celebrated and congratulated. A herculean effort that is to be admired and praised. Thank you immensely for teaching me a part of history that heretofore was vague and opaque. The quote selection was superb, informative, and at times chilling. May your combined efforts reach billions in people and revenues.

This documentary is extremely well done and accurate. I will be subscribing to the alternate platforms for sure.

I really, really like the first hand account quotes throughout the Documentary. Those Quotes were packed with perspective.

I can't believe they got Jake Gyllenhaal to narrate this channel. Definitely hitting subscribe.

REAL TIME HISTORY- Hopefully your channel will make a GREAT video about the "Hundred Days" campaign of Napoleon, Epic History did one on Waterloo BUT added on Battle of Quatre Bras and Battle of Ligny as quick footnotes, and they each deserve so much more, noting that SO many famous military figures died especially at Quatre Bras including the Duke of Brunswick, Lord Hay, and the Colonel of the Gordon Highlanders, John Cameron among many!!

@bengerber735 Рік тому

YES! If there is ONE battle that hasn't received ANY attention...It's WATERLOO! That video NEEDS to happen!

Napoleon is one of my favorite generals in history and made me love the French. Awesome documentary helped me out with my history HW as well

Like many others I thought this was an outstanding video history series, a generous 3 hour runtime to treat the subject in the detail it deserves, but at the same time not yielding to the temptation of padding with filler material. Maps excellent, ads minimal. Am I correct that the presenter is fluent in both French and Russian? though I can't place his accent in the spoken English. But I'm only a casual part-time viewer of these online history docs, and here I read in the comments that Epic tv brand is out there doing just as well if not better, on the very same topic. Indeed I've quite lost track of all the different video history brands. So what's up with online history documentaries?? the sub-genre has just exploded in popularity and the competition is now as fierce as the battle of Borodino itself.

@jessealexander2695 Рік тому

The presenter is fluent in French, and functional in Russian. His accent in English is Anglo-Quebec. ;)

Defining History that develops our opinion in some way that provides the proper perspective, helps to make some folks preserve their supply of profits. We seem to return to the same foolish conflicts in search of Booty, that were so horribly unproductive in the past? Wisdom comes to those who see beyond the surface of lies.....

@flashgordon6670 Рік тому

@Jesse: There should be You Tube history awards and you certainly deserve some. Ty for such fabulous documentaries.

@Sanguinarius9999 11 місяців тому

@realtimehistory the main battle or borodino has no numbers for cannons for the Russians and no numbers for Cavalry for the French?
