2 truths about Waterloo Ney correctly sensed weakness in the British centre and launched a mass cavalry attack to prevent them from reforming and to pin them in squares. However the infantry he then ordered up (which would have decimated the British squares) never arrived, why? Because all infantry divisions intended to support Neys attack were swiftly redirected to the right flank to face the Prussians in the village of Plancenmois. Thus Ney had to keep charging the British to keep them pinned, buying time for infantry to be available, sadly this never happened. This clearly shows Wellington was beaten without the Prussians, he’s lucky no french units were available to march on the squares. 2. It wasn’t the old guard that launched the final attack, it was the middle guard, supported by more middle guard and then the old guard grenadiers. This attack routed the Brunswick division, then the 73 highland regiment, Dutch artillery, then British foot guards hidden in corn sprang up and indeed beat off some of the middle guard, however the following units then routed the British foot guards. The attack continued until the Prussians broke through on the right flank and finally the middle guard broke and fled. The old guard stood their ground and formed square, covering the retreat of the army. Rather than surrender they died. These 2 points aren’t well known. As it shows that Wellington was saved by Blücher (not good for the British publicity at the time) and this myth that the common British soldier defeated the legendary old guard was good for propaganda. However it wasn’t exactly true

He was a fantastic military commander and did extremely well considering his circumstances, but it cannot be overstated how much he was saved by Blücher at Waterloo.

[@swanner95]

True, without the bulk of Blucher's army showing up in the afternoon on his left flank, he was beaten. His army was mostly inexperienced and outmatched in many ways by Napoleon's. Everything he did that day, by and large, was a delaying action to buy Blucher time to reach him. He was helped by the substantial rain delays, Ney's blunder and the sheer ability of the men at Hugumont who held the farm for the entire battle, as well as those who stood against the Old Guard and broke them. Wellington is quoted at length for saying how lucky he was - 'A damn near run thing' or 'Give me night, or give me Blucher'.

[@HerbiieIsBest]

What an idiotic statement. Napoleon never took the ridge. Wellington won his battle - which was to hold Napoleon in place while Blücher attacked the flank. Napoleon couldn't break through Wellington, i.e., couldn't beat him. Wellington's plan from the start was to simply hold his position. The amount of whiny 'Boo hoo Wellington didn't win' bullshit peddled around Waterloo is frankly pathetic. He wasn't saved by Blücher - he trusted in his ally. Do you think Blücher would have beaten or even fought Napoleon again without Wellington? Blücher wouldn't have even been in Belgium if Wellington hadn't been there. It was an allied victory, simple as. Blücher didn't 'save' Wellington, Wellington executed his part of the plan perfectly, which was to hold Napoleon (who had been an absolute idiot and split his forces don't forget) in place until the Prussians came - which he did. Napoleon tried to break the allied line and failed.

@@HerbiieIsBest You just said in a fancy way that Wellington alone would not have won at Waterloo against Napoléon and that he required the help from his ally to achieve victory. How does that differ in any way from what the others said?

[@HerbiieIsBest]

@@maloflory By what I said. Wellington was not saved by Blucher. Napoleon did not defeat Wellington. Wellington's objective was to hold Napoleon in place. Napoleon's objective was to break through Wellington's line. Wellington completed his objective brilliantly, despite Blucher's late arrival. This is not being 'saved' by anyone. Napoleon most certain did not beat Wellington 'hands down' (and awww boo was he ill as well at the time? Is that why he left the battlefield to go and have a nap... yes, genius general best ever lived), Napoleon failed utterly to complete his objective of breaking through Wellington. Wellington may have said give me Blucher or give me night, but then Blucher was meant to arrive in the early afternoon but was slow. He also said that he was disappointed by Napoleon and that 'he came in the same old way and we beat him in the same old way.' So, in answer to your question, what I said differs from the others because: 1) Blucher did not save Wellington anymore than Wellington saved Blucher. 2) Napoleon did not beat Wellington in any way shape or form. The above comments are all part and parcel of French attempts after the Battle of Waterloo to lessen their defeat, make fairly pathetic excuses for Napoleon like he had a stomach bug, or he actually won, or it was all to do with the weather and nothing to do with the thousands of troops he sent to pursue Blucher rather than keep his forces together... A great example of the French attempts to rewrite history is Pierre Cambronne. In this film, when asked to surrender he shouts 'Merde!', though a journalist who wasn't at the battle said that Cambronne said 'The guard dies it does not surrender.' Both of these responses are a complete fantasy that Cambronne denied, and the Guard did surrender, so are a bit silly. Also there is a reason that Napoleon surrendered to the British, not to the Prussians.

Because this whole movie was an actual re-enaction (they had 10k+ soviet soldiers to act as soldiers fr)

Is this real musical piece of that era, or it was composed only for the movie? Thanks for answers! :)

[@FilmSoundtracksMMXII]

It is a Napoleonic French march called 'La Victoire est a Nous,' so yes, a real musical piece of the era.

[@FraterSinistrus]

Thank you very much for Your answer.

I haven't seen the new Napoleon film and now I'm not going to. I heard so much bad stuff but the final straw was a sniper rifle in the battle of Waterloo. I thought it'd be about Napoleon and his conquest but it's really about him and his wife. The only saving grace is that Steven Speilberg is making a Napoleon series with HBO based off of the never released Napoleon film that Stanley Kubrick made.

Just imagine being a British/German/Dutch soldier at Waterloo, exhausted from hours of fighting, waiting behind that ridge for another French attack and then.....your hear this. In that moment you know that the undefeatable Imperial Guard, the best military unit in entire history is heading your way. Just knowing that you, a mere raw recruit are going to face veterans who fought in at least couple wars and dozens of battles, men who never retreated or surrendered in battle, who never lost a single battle, is a terrifying thought! I bet that many British would've run if they had weaker leadership and, well......acutely anywhere to run at all!
