I rarely leave comments but just want to say I really enjoy your videos, very well made.

[@HoH]

Thanks!

[@thebabylonian109]

The tour guides of Berlin salute you! Well done, great visuals as always, and looking forward to more on Prussia's favorite French speaking, Italian opera loving king. In our suburb of Schöneberg (southwest of the town center, or Mitte) there is a place called Winterfeldtplatz, which has a lively food focused market every Wednesday and (especially) Saturday. It is named after the General von Winterfeldt whom died in this battle.

[@HoH]

Thank you for the kind comment. You live in a beautiful area!

[@gerardjagroo]

Dang! Prussia was playing on Byzantine Empire level of difficulty. At least they should've been grateful that a civil war didn't erupt back home at this inopportune moment.

[@nikoarcher1243]

One of the best series on KZbin - always impressed by how much you’ve constantly getting better and better - can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you!

It seems that Prussia the precursor state to Germany just seemed unable to fight on multiple fronts. But that's no surprise. It's usually very difficult to do so at the best of times.

[@xornxenophon3652]

Hmmm, well Prussia won in the end (with a lot of luck), so I guess, they were able to do so well enough. It is a pure wonder that Prussia was not simply crushed after one or two years.

[@brokenbridge6316]

Is Frederick feeling it yet, Mr Krabs?

[@ryanromero181]

Great video! Would you consider doing a video on a topic from another theater in this war, like the Battle of Restigouche? And also its aftermath for the Acadian militia and their families on shore who were then cut off and forced to surrender? My direct maternal family ancestors were among them. Thanks from Louisiana!

[@oliviermosimann6931]

Great, as always, cheers !

I would love to!

SO complicated though. Ugh.

[@smcasas9367]

Is it just me or does his intonation imply surprise (or bafflement, probably still the wrong word) whenever he mentions troop counts?

[@wagnercarvalho1854]

time to start EU4 and play as Brandeburg

[@clarkstartrek]

I'm really surprised that Sweden didn't attack at this time. Sweden still wanted Pomerania back. And Denmark was strangely quiet also.

[@HoH]

Sweden landed in Pomerania in September. I cover that in an upcoming video.

[@istvansipos9940]

great

[@shahabrezania5613]

how many battles fredrick have fought in total with him at command ? I cannot find a reliable source in google. so I asked you

[@TheAustrianAnimations87]

Alright, I have here a list. War of the Austrian Succession: 1) Battle of Mollwitz (victory) 2) Battle of Chotusitz (victory) 3) Battle of Hohenfriedberg (victory) 4) Battle of Soor (victory) 5) Battle of Kesselsdorf (victory) Seven Years' War: 6) Battle of Lobositz (tactical victory, strategic defeat) 7) Battle of Prague (victory) 8) Battle of Kolin (defeat) 9) Battle of Rossbach (victory) 10) Battle of Leuthen (victory) 11) Battle of Zorndorf (indecisive) 12) Hochkirch (defeat) 13) Battle of Kunersdorf (defeat) 14) Battle of Liegnitz (victory) 15) Battle of Torgau (victory) He also launched failed sieges at Dresden, Prague and Olomouc.

Very nice voice

[@Splodge542]

You see the Austrians knew that they had the wisest and most benign Monarch in the world in Maria Theresa. She was as loved as our own Queen Elizabeth II - but, I think, even more so.

[@zurgesmiecal]

yup, she knew about the merchants

[@Jean_Jacques148]

@@pain5835 I agree. Elizabeth l was definitely more important imo.

[@xjuliussx]

sad day for Prussia! One of unique battles where i finnaly see Austrians have the balls to attack the prussian lines!

[@ostpreusse2322]

In times of the 7year War, Frederic II was not the king of prussia! He had the title "king in prussia" ! Since 1772 he became the king of prussia, but before Warmia, or as the german citisens of warmia call it Ermland, was a part of the polish kingdom. So Frederic II was 'only' a king in a part of prussia.

[@sergueiothonucci1638]

😃

[@williamburroughs9686]

Why did everybody attack Prussia?

[@clarkstartrek]

"THE SEVEN YEARS WAR" was called by many Military Historians... 'EUROPE'S FIRST WORLD WAR'. Because of fighting in North America and India between the French and English Armies, for territory outside Europe.

[@blecao]

Not sure about india but on the war of spanish succesion there was also conflict on north american colonies

[@johncherskov5755]

Anyone noticed 14:30 the bug? 🪲

[@beepboop204]

[@craigcanaan]

If the Prussians had entrenched their right wing, the battle might have had different results considering the fact that their right was weak. The Prussians centre was strong so I would try not to attack their centre, if their centre attacks the Austrians they would lose their defensive advantage, the Austrians would use their numerical superiority.

[@kurthamm7734]

I like the haircut, Daddy.

[@MrAkurvaeletbe]

I dont get why prussia gets so much respect as a military nation… they seem to lose every battle..

[@expatexpat6531]

The graphics are very good and the topic is interesting, but your voice is too soft and unclear to do the video justice. You also get the intonation wrong in several places. I know this is YT and not Hollywood, but you might consider using some a native-speaker voice talent or even a text-to-speech app. This is all meant as positive criticism.

[@HoH]

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I am not in a position where I can afford to hire a voice actor.

[@paulceglinski3087]

Not to worry, HoH, I like your voice talent. I kinda adapt to someone's speech patterns so no worries then. Cheers.

[@expatexpat6531]

@@HoH I can understand that. Maybe try an app and ask your viewers for feedback to see what they prefer.

[@lennartniederleithinger6759]

@@HoH I'd do it but neither the quality of my microphone nor my voice would do your videos justice. Grüße aus Berlin!

[@daviddavis4885]

@@HoH personally I like your softer tone of voice. It feels much less bombastic than a lot of creators and I feel it’s more consistent with the tone of your videos.
