You and your work are awesome man!

What song plays at the beginning of the bohemian campaign?

[@Poopmeiser]

Absolutely gorgeous orchestral music

[@Wilhelm-100TheTechnoAdmiral]

"...the village of Skalitz" Me, excitedly pointing to the screen, "That's where Henry is from!"

[@arstanfogx5615]

Not the same village though, but still great you remember our Henry 😊

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

This series is incredible man! Can't wait to see more of Prussian Badassery and then the Franco-Prussian war!

[@user-mw2vn7pv8n]

With more prussian badassery

[@Tony-ih1pg]

With a lot more Prussian bad assery

[@justinheron1114]

That. Exactly that.

[@TheOsu22]

Skalitz? I am required to say "Henry's come to see us!"

[@mrgopnik5964]

He would have been dead for 400 years at that point XD

[@Gaucfotbal]

That's another Skalitz. Henry story is cca 150km southwest.

[@esamunaeebsaad389]

You are currently my most favourite history guy in youtube. Before, it was Kings and Generals and Historymarche. From your first video to this one, you have never disappointed me. Kudos to you. Commenting as a token for the algorithm to work its way and so that you get more views.

[@HoH]

Much appreciated!

[@imoutofideas8515]

Yeah kings and generals used to be great but his reporting of ukraine os fpr me way too politicised and feels like a onesided and very pro ukrainian report which made me stop watching the videos history marche is still good but sandrhoman used ti make so many great videos about sieges but currently doesnt feel so interesting but historylegends videos on the seven years war are just so great and of some other league

[@esamunaeebsaad389]

@@imoutofideas8515 I had the same thoughts on Kings and Generals. They are feeling more like propaganda than actual history. Sandrhoman history maybe hit its first creative block, I still watch the old siege videos. Currently House of History is making the best history documentaries, that too on topics that are mostly not looked upon by the popular channels. No wonder it has become one of my favourites. Also I like his narrative style, how he sits and discusses. Oh I also should mention Armchair Historian. He also has a great narrative style.

[@esamunaeebsaad389]

@@HoH and I appreciate your good work! God be with you!

[@DrKarmo]

Tbh I really like K&G's historical videos, i hardly watch anything related to modern wars there, their first crusade, alexander and italians wars videos are great! They started a peloponnesian war recently too so that's cool. Biggest gripes is that the ukraine content kinda took over for a while and made them go from my favorites to second favorites.

[@BoerChris]

So glad to see that your channel is covering the Austro-Prussian War in more detail than others. A friend and I wargamed the Battle of Nachod, and the results were almost identical to the historical outcome.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

The Birthplace of the Lion of nachod and a great Prussian Victory! Love your videos man!

[@pawelbrzaczyszczykiewicz5457]

I'm Poles. I live some 30km from Nachod wich is near the border. I didnt even know that there wos a battle there. Thx for history lesson 👍👌😉

[@jonshive5482]

A superbly presented animation of a largely neglected war (at least in North America). Thank you and please continue. Cheers!

[@frederickiiprussia7699]

Prueßens Gloria! The King of Prussia bestows his favor and thumbs up to House of History for this masterpiece

[@KHK001]

Great video as always! love this series!

[@PlvsVltra-ji3rs]

You truly have an exquisite way of telling these battles, and it has gotten me into a renewed sense of exploring history beyond the classical period. Thank you for the clear and entertaining manner of presentation.

[@brokenbridge6316]

I'm liking this series more and more. Great job. Can't wait for the next video in this series.

love all the content, keep it coming, hope u gain a million subs soon

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

Austria doesn't seem to fully learn from their shortcomings.

[@reznovnata3889]

Iam really happy and satisfied that decided to cover this battle. Thankyou keep up this remarkable content.

Better and better- your skill presenting and the graphic illustrations are leaping forward! Great job!

Excellent lecture, series and topic.

A really good use of maps. Easy to read and understand movements. Nice vid!

[@kingscarbine]

Really nice account. Looking forward to seeing the next episodes. Hope you cover the Italian front.

This series is sublime. It is Teutonic history ASMR

Terrific video!

[@joaopedrocosta2163]

A lesson everyone takes from the napoleonic wars and the first ww: Never underestimate the incompetence of Austrian commanders

[@chromsh2806]

This series is great!

[@Barwasser]

Fantastic video!

[@eduardodpino]

Your videos are great. Keep up your great work. Greetings from Brasil!

You have a smaller error on the map. At that time there was no water reservoir, it was only started to be built in 1951. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozko%C5%A1_Reservoir

Man in this war and the Franco prussian war the prussian army tactics and weaponry was light years ahead of everyone else's.

[@vinz4066]

The french had better rifles

[@arthurschirmann7368]

love it

[@valtermagno2056]

Valeu!

[@nvelsen1975]

So the core went towards Skalitz? Hey, look, Henry's come to see us!

[@sastaffa]

The "ch" sound in Nachod is similar to the sound of "ch" in "cholera", not the sound of "ch" like in "nachos". The many blessings of that crazy language, Czech! No foreigner can ever master it! Move over, Dine' language....!

Where have I heard Skalitz before

[@gusdegautama4553]

Did these people knew they were fighting near the town where the Legend of the Scourge of the Cumans, Henry of Skalitz was born

[@Gaucfotbal]

That's another Skalitz. Henr's Skalitz Is cca 150km southwest

[@windogendoors7566]

Austrians should of focused more on fore tactics. Makes sense for a defender. Use the nations expanse as well as your superior long range rifle to your advantage.

Yes! Friday night and a new video from you. Let's get some take out and some beer and the night is perfect!!! My wife will get her's tomorrow...😉

Yo

[@JaimeArias270293]

Is this Moltke related to WWI?

[@shanebrown2009]

Yes. He was the uncle of Helmuth von Moltke the younger of WW1.

[@JaimeArias270293]

Thanks!

[@ryanjuguilon213]

This is Moltke the Chad. The one in WW1 is his nephew Moltke the Flaccid.

[@craigcanaan]

Why did yhe Austrians attack a well defended high ground without artillery support

[@StephenGoodfellow]

Preposterously poor generalship on behalf of the Austrians. The prussians, being the invaders were at a disadvantage in that the Austrians had the time to prepare a battlefield of their choosing in favorable terrain. Instead they squander their advantage, attacking an enemy situated on higher ground. A butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker could have made a better choice than that.

[@Khookies-lp2lu]

Between this and Trautenau, I am amazed at how the Prussians was made to fight defensive battles during *their* offensive. Perhaps it goes better with the Austrian shock tactics to be on the offensive, but whatever advantage they had was diminished by the superior Prussian Dreyse. For us, it makes greater sense to defend strategic points, especially when superior in numbers, but for the Austrians, it simply went against doctrine.

[@beepboop204]

[@christianschrader5927]

Germany almost here!

[@ceberskie119]

OK show of has who saw this video and read the battle of Nachos

[@King_of_Railways]

That's no Mexico - nachos...

[@BudweiserBegodeer]

Náchod is pronounced 'naakhod'. No place for Nachos in the 1866 war;)

[@alesdvorak7485]

I was wondering whether someone is going to write this in comments xD it really confused me

[@kalterverwalter4516]

I see why the Austrians lost this. They keep questionable descendants in high Positions around. I mean Galas from Matthias Galas the "Destroyer of Armys" (Heerverderber in German). I know its Propaganda but I think its still funny.

[@feldgeist2637]

it's also a kind of wordplay for it sounds like Herr Verderber (Mr. Spoiler)

[@nirfz]

They did that as much as the prussians.

[@kalterverwalter4516]

@@nirfz That Never was disputed. However Matthias Galas is Legendary.

[@feldgeist2637]

don't know if I've ever heard of this battle before and wouldn't even have been able to locate Nachod the german Z is a very hard S-sound btw - sorta like as if you would put a T in front of the word sound Zündnadelgewehr = "Tsündnadelgewehr" .....pronouncing it soft like Sündnadelgewehr would mean sin-needle-gun in german.....

[@Raccoonaspie]

It's pronounced 'Naah-khod'😂
