The fact that Ottoman numbers were superior is a total inaccuracy and biased sources. In a logic sense with some history knowledge and a contemplating over sources, we get the right numbers which is even
@Samuel Kłosowski that's an exaggeration on a dream level lol. A lot of sources mentions that the numbers were very similar with some puts holy leauge numbers higher, some the opposite with small margin
@Samuel Kłosowski this battle is very crucial, a turning point in history. It concerns christians, europeans and politics even to this day, so the imaginary numbers given by european sources are highly suspicious and biased. When you said over 300k men I thought u were on drugs and wouldn't even reply but I write this to wider audience. Ottomans had several garrisons and the safavid front in need of manpower so gathering over 150k men was impossible, and these numbers are the size of the army but not actual numbers during the combat in Vienna, a part of the initial army was lost during the march plus didn't even engage and were stationed on the route. Some european and predominantly turkish sources gives the numbers for ottomans 100k-120k and holy leauge 99-100k
Fun fact: One night, during the Siege of Vienna, The Ottomans were digging an underground tunnel in order to get to the city from the ground. But the bakers, who woke up early for work, listened noises under the ground, so they call the city guards and fortunately, they saved the city delaying the Ottomans and giving time to the Winged Hussars. Hence, they were congratulated and they made a special food for the emperor. They created the croissant, with the form of the moon, which is the form of the Ottoman's flag
My son introduced me to this awesome band after he saw them in Montreal Canada. And myself being retired military, and a history buff, I have mad respect for the music and the Band themselves. I have every song on my usb drives that I listen to as i drive across our country. God bless these artist, for they know what they sing about!! Dont stop brothers.
@@Jeremy-ul4ph The video is 4 years old, though the comment is 1 month old. The person is just respecting Sabaton for replying to the comment even though the video is so old. Unless I am also missing something.
people dont seem to relize how terrifying it would be to see an army of angels charging down a mountain directly at you while it also sounds like thunder is following them as well.
@@coconut_1219 No, this sound can't be heard during hussars charge but the sight of wings and long pennants at the end of lances can scare a horse and his owner. Wings were used also to protect hussars backs from swords and lassos.
Not to mention the fact that the hussars were part of the largest cavalry charge in history, 18000 men of which 2-3000 were the winged hussars leading the charge. Facing that would scare anyone.
Stefan Karaszewski was a Polish soldier who alone stopped for 2 hours an advance of 60 Nazi tanks on 5/09/1939 allowing his fellow soldiers to retreat safely. Fighting alone he destroyed 7 tanks and 1 motorvehicle and killed 11 Nazi soldiers. When he ran out of ammunition he took his own life. When Germans eventually saw only one dead body of Polish soldier they were in shock because they thougth they were fighting against a group of soldiers. Even one Polish soldier can organize a Thermopylae battle. Chwała bohaterom!
the Polish were actually madlads during the invasion of Poland (that memed cavalry charge against panzers, was actually mounted infantry and they actually did their job of holding up the panzers and forcing them to retreat)
@@Tuplapukki As a pole, this is my new favourite idea. Now I need to form a connection to the military and make them attach the wings Edit: whoops, responded to the (partially) wrong guy
One of the most surprising facts about you Leinad is that as a Polish person you don't listen to K-Pop on a daily basis. (jk love you congrats on the comment from the people themselves 🎉)
I have a friend who listens to this every day in class with earbuds. They have protection on so I can't hear them but he can. He watches the lyrics video along with it. So I thought to myself, well why does this guy like Sabaton so much? I then UA-cam searched it and I ended up loving this song. Great powerful vocals, a syncopated rhythm guitar, wall of sound-like synth and bass, and beautiful fills on the drums. This combined with the poetic lyrics can only mean one thing. It's power metal, and at its finest.
@@ИванКролинов yes, but actually no. If the polish didn't help defend the Vienna, you never know what could have happened, the monarchy could have torn apart, that would change the history a lot
Fun fact: in Elden Ring, the design of the Mausoleum Knights were modelled after the Polish cavalry Winged Hussars (1503-1702). The Polish assembled the wings from raptors. Metal and gaming. Beautiful.
@@Sabatonmight be a little bit out of your normal subject matter, but I would love to hear your guys do a take on the Edmund Fitzgerald, a ore boat that sank in Lake Superior back in the 70’s during a nasty storm. Gordon Lightfoot has his song, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
This song gives me goosebumps, especially the last chorus. It's a masterpiece, and a candy for my patriotic heart. Thank you so much for making this! I love this band
You know what’s sad? Many schools in the world don’t teach this kind of history. I had to listen to SABATON songs to know most of the history I know today. Respect to Poland from Finland

@@Sabaton And we're happy to be here . It shows you truly care for your fans. Quick question if you ever see this: Do you have a song about the North African campaign in WW2? My great grandfather was in the Desert Rats and fought in Tobruk and El Alamein. Love your work!
It was a miracle that they made it on time. It takes many weeks, often months to muster an army and it's quite a few hundred kilometers to travel on horseback from Poland to Vienna. It's so sad when I think about how Austria repaid Poland for this help less than a hundred years later...
Less than a year after the Polish republic was freed from Russian control, with interwar Poland still finding her footing after years of oppression by her neighbors, they managed to beat back the Red Army as the Communists attempted to join the uprising in Germany. With the backing of the Red Army there is little doubt that the German uprising would have been overtaken by Soviet backed Communists rather than the Weimar Republic that ended up forming following the uprising. We've got Poland to thank for checking the spread of toxic Soviet Communism in Europe. The sad irony of it all being that in turn Poland herself would later on be subjected to it for decades afterwards. It is a terrible shame the West allowed Poland to fall behind the Iron Curtain. A Polish friend of mine has a saying "For most of the world WWII ended in 1945. For us in the East it didn't end until 1991."
Just imagine losing all hope, and then suddenly, in the distance, you see a bunch of men with giant wings arriving to help. If I didn't know better I would have thought they were angelic warriors!
@@genus5987 yeah. That was our prize for helping everybody in Europe. We got destroyed many times by those who we help. And we are still helping even we are wearing our scars that we got from others.
Thanks mate. Thats is really sad sad game they play with peoples lives. I'm sure you guys will sort it out too! There is much admiration on our side for Your kindness to these people. Oh and btw turbobricks rock!
I honestly think that we may be seeing an opportunity for horse-based units on the modern or near-future battlefield. More likely in a recon/dragoon style, however they could maybe employ the occasional cavalry charge in the way modern infantry occasionally use the bayonet charge.
It was played during Warsaw Independence march 11th November when 250 thousands patriots have gathered to celebrate free Poland. Trully a magnificent sight with the best soundtrack imaginable. Thank you Sabaton!
Casimir Pulaski was a Polish nobleman that traveled thousands of miles away from his homeland of Poland to join the battle of independence for a fledgling nation that would come to be known as the United States of America, with a Hungarian noble named Michael Kovats they would combine their military intelligence to become the Founding Fathers of the American Cavalry. Both men shed blood and lost their lives fighting the British to aid the American rebels and both men would go on to be legends in the American mythos for their role in the creation of America's military. Pulaski even has several American counties named in his honor and many statues built to commemorate him. In 2009 he was awarded honorary citizenship as an American citizen, in the US only 8 foreigners have been given this honor including him, sharing the stage with two other legendary men in French General Lafayette and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Poland is a fantastic nation and as an American I think we're lucky to have them as an ally. They're fierce fighters and proud people.
@@Hungabrigoo He was a pretty awesome man, he looked like an absolute chad too. Most Illustrious Sir: Golden freedom cannot be purchased with yellow gold. I, who have the honor to present this letter to your Excellency, am also following the call of the Fathers of the Land, as the pioneers of freedom always did. I am a free man and a Hungarian. As to my military status I was trained in the Royal Prussian Army and raised from the lowest rank to the dignity of a Captain of the Hussars, not so much by luck and the mercy of chance than by most diligent self discipline and the virtue of my arms. The dangers and the bloodshed of a great many campaigns taught me how to mold a soldier, and, when made, how to arm him and let him defend the dearest of the lands with his best ability under any conditions and developments of the war. I now am here of my own free will, having taken all the horrible hardships and bothers of this journey, and I am willing to sacrifice myself wholly and faithfully as it is expected of an honest soldier facing the hazards and great dangers of the war, to the detriment of Joseph and as well for the freedom of your great Congress. Through the cooperation and loyal assistance of Mr. Faedevill, a merchant of this city and a kind sympathizer of the Colonies and their just cause, I have obtained passage on a ship called "Catharina Froam Darmouth ", whose master is a Captain Whippy. I beg your Excellency, to grant me a passport and a letter of recommendation to the most benevolent Congress. I am expecting companions who have not yet reached here. Your Excellency would be promoting the common cause by giving Mr. Faedevill authorization to expedite their passage to the Colonies once they have arrived here. At last, awaiting your gracious answer, I have no wish greater than to leave forthwith, to be where I am needed most, to serve and die in everlasting obedience to Your Excellency and the Congress. Most faithful unto death, Bordeaux, January 13th, 1777. Michael Kovats de Fabricy P. S: As yet I am unable to write, fluently in French or English and had only the choice of writing either in German or Latin; for this I apologize to your Excellency. That's the letter he wrote to Benjamin Franklin requesting he be allowed to aid and fight for the American cause in our revolution. Kovats also spent time in the military serving under the legendary Fredrick the Great, another mark of prestige for such a great man.
@@Th3Kingism That is amazing! Also, as an American, I find it rather funny seeing Benjamin Franklin referred to as 'Your Excellency' as if he's a member of some royal house.
"On the morning of September 12th, 1683, almost a week after he should have stormed the walls, Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa turned to his right flank and noticed something he wasn't really expecting. King Jan Sobieski of Poland. And 76,000 Polish, German, Saxon, Bavarian, and Imperial troops riding hard behind him."
And after the battle, while looting Cara Mustafa's camp, the soldiers found coffee beans and the paraphernalia to prepare the drink; starting our love affair with coffee. There were no hipsters yet, but for them to arrive was inevitable. There was no tattoos or piercing at that time either, as it was frowned on by the religions of the time. There was plenty of great mustaches, though, and sometimes very outlandish armor on these great warriors - but nothing compared to the armor and trappings of a winged Hussar.

Crazy to think we went from riding horses and fighting with lances and swords to nuclear bombs that can annihilate entire cities in such a short period of time.
@Ahmet Sakızcı not stolen but created from the concept of military parations. A cavalryman was created at that time, perfect for those times, one of them crashed 30 -40 Turks, only a curved sword was taken from Turkish equipment, from other armies to fight with them this group had a double-edged sword, in addition, each was equipped with 2 pieces of rock weapon, when Turkish soldiers didn't even know how even the gunpowder smells. In addition, 4-meter long copies specially developed and balanced, hollow in the middle to reduce the weight especially with a fired base to increase its hardness, the Turks had 2.5-meter long poles while the hussar had about 12 pieces of different weapons capable of fighting against each opponent then from different parts of the world. That is why these 300 Polish soldiers were defeating an army of 10,000 Turks. Maybe you'll read before you speak? about one weapon Poland has just duplicated against the Turks, and those who created it were killed by those weapons. Remember that an ordinary Turkish soldier had only 2 weapons at that time. Polish Hussar 12 kinds and THOUGHT when to use it
@Ahmet Sakızcı well that says a lot about you. "I know everything". Only the ignorant talk this language. Turk is relatively new, and you talk about copy.. :p
@@crystalisk5415 ahmet is right, but to be accurate it was 400 hussars vs 40k tatars, and no we didnt have any allies tatars could win but that would be very not profitable loss of 400 hussars was nothing to Poland while probable 10k of loss of tatars was terrifying loss
3. September 1683 - Vienna is firing 30 firework rockets from the tower of St. Stephens cathedral to signal their allies they can not hold out much longer. 6. September 1683 - 100 rockets are fired 7. and 8. September - countless rockets are fired in despair and hope of relief. 12. September 1683 - THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE
Respect for Turkey for not recognize partitions of Poland. "Lechia milletvekili henüz gelmedi" - eternal respect for Turkey for that! Following the Partitions of Poland the Ottoman Empire along with Qajar Iran were the only major countries in the world which did not recognise the final partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1] An anecdote exists recounting the exchange between the chef de protocol of and his aide of Ottoman Empire which is widely recounted today in Poland. According to the tale, whenever the diplomatic corps was received by the Ottoman sultan, on the sight of the empty chair of the Polish deputy, the Ottoman chef de protocol would ostentatiously ask: “Where is the deputy from Lehistan?” ~Wikipedia
This song is a masterpiece, as many others is really catchy and everytime I feel tired, I play this and it gives me sudden urge to jump on the horse and join the charge of Winged Hussars...such a great song
I'm not even polish but I swear, the more I read about its history and the more I think it's the most respectable country out there. Proud of Poland from Italy.
Their heroic rescue of Vienna. Their amazing fighting retreat against the Nazis in the beginning of WW2. How they even continued to fight once occupied. Massive respect to Poland. Wish their geography favored them more.
Now, read about the 1920 war, where over six million Russian Bolsheviks surging westward to spread the communist revolution across Europe were halted by the Polish army.

My German history teacher told bullshit about the battle of Vienna 1683, he said, Prinz Eugen von Savoyen had command and was the liberator of Vienna. I am of Polish decent and so I had fight for the truth and argued with him about the fact, that Jan Sobieski III was commander in chief and the liberator of Vienna. My teacher wanted to give me a bad school mark then.... BUT THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
@Vlad The Impaler Pirnz Eugen von Savoyen was a very successfull and important commander in the fights after the battle of vienna. No doubt about that.
gentlemen from Sabaton.... huge respect and admiration for you. I am Polish, thank you for such a beautifully presented story of my medieval brothers .... once again I bow my head to you and the Winged Husari
Only the Ottomans master of all the Byzantines could stop them but when the world needed them most the Winged Hussars killed them DUES VULT! am i right?
No, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is. In the original Helm’s Deep battle 2500 rohirrim on foot arrive lead by Erkebrand, Lord of the Westfold and Gandalf
piotr wiśniewski Yeah, but my point is: It was only logical for Austria to join in the partition as it feared Prussia and Russia would gain too much power.
Wrote this elsewhere, figured I'd drop it here, lol, enjoy: Teacher: "Ok class, who know anything about the siege of Vienna?" *Dramatic metal music slowly fades in from the back of the class* Teacher: "w-w- what's happening?" "When the winged hussars arrived!" Teacher: "omg... what is happening right now?" *the classroom shakes violently, dust falls from crumbling mortar as bricks smash and widows crack. Smoke and the ominous thunder of distant artillery fills the air, mingling with the powerful music as a voice begins to sing* Joachim: "A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league, 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die, Will they hold the wall or will the city fall?" *The teacher, dumbstruck, adjusts his glasses, the class, enraptured at the terrible truth to which they now find themselves a part of, looking bewildered upon layers of desperate fortification, fighting positions and what looks to be a hopeless city full of starving and fearful people, some young, some old, all resisting, all fighting though outnumbered by a great army of Ottoman Turks, above whom the battle tattered flag of the great Kara Mustafa Pasha proudly flies, his Janissaries move in formation toward a breach in the city wall, but are repulsed by the cities defenders* Joachim: "Dedication, dedication, they're outnumbered 15 to one, and the battle's begun" *the class turns to the sound of distant hoof beats and the clatter of wooden wings, a substantial force of horsemen approach from atop the mountain, but will they be enough? Will they make it in time?* Joachim: "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside. Then the winged hussars arrived, coming down they turned the tide!" *but would they though? The class watches in mute horror as they see the ottoman soldiers carrying explosives into a mine shaft extending nearly a mile from their camp to the walls of the beleaguered city, they mean to destroy their walls! The Janissaries approach in formation, awaiting the blast, anticipating their queue to visit death upon the belligerent city of Vienna.* Joachim: "As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high, no escape and no salvation, trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls, plant the charges there and watch the city fear... Desperation, desperation, it's a desperate race against the mine, and a race against time!" *gallant polish Hussars, winged and glorious bear down upon the gathered army, picking up a breakneck pace as they set themselves into a charge down the side of the mountain, with graceful violence they rush past the startled class, their focus not on them, but rather, upon the gathered host of Kara Pasha... but with the charges set, cam they make it in time? The answer comes in the clash of steel and the crack of cannons as the winged hussars barrel into the surprised janissaries, breaking their ranks and forcing a retreat. All the while Joachim sings:* "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside! Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down they turned the tide! Cannonballs are coming down from the sky! Janissaries are you ready to die? We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye. You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate. On this field you're only facing our hate but back home the sultan's sealing your fate" Joachim is then joined by a chorus of grateful survivors from the city below as they rejoice: "We remember, in September, that's the night Vienna was freed, we made the enemy bleed!" Then the Hussars march by chanting, "Storm clouds, fire and steel, death from above make their enemy kneel..." *then, just as quickly as it had begun, the broken walks of the class reform themselves, leaving a tongue tied teacher, his bewildered class, and a surly looking metal singer standing before them. The teacher says nothing, the class is silent.* Joachim: "and that's what happened at the battle of Vienna," the class bell rings, "class dismissed," he drops his mic and walks out.
What? Oh god no. Just feel inspired to write on occasion. This is a fusion of the song lyrics coupled with cursory knowledge of historical data which features a high school history class as the point of view character. Sabaton's lyrics are the real champion here.

@@coconut_1219 No, this sound can't be heard during hussars charge but the sight of wings and long pennants at the end of lances can scare a horse and his owner. Wings were used also to protect hussars backs from swords and lassos.

Stefan Karaszewski was a Polish soldier who alone stopped for 2 hours an advance of 60 Nazi tanks on 5/09/1939 allowing his fellow soldiers to retreat safely. Fighting alone he destroyed 7 tanks and 1 motorvehicle and killed 11 Nazi soldiers. When he ran out of ammunition he took his own life. When Germans eventually saw only one dead body of Polish soldier they were in shock because they thougth they were fighting against a group of soldiers. Even one Polish soldier can organize a Thermopylae battle. Chwała bohaterom!
He was very clearly a FPS game protagonist

*Sad Polish noises*
Ow. That indeed hurts.
Less than a year after the Polish republic was freed from Russian control, with interwar Poland still finding her footing after years of oppression by her neighbors, they managed to beat back the Red Army as the Communists attempted to join the uprising in Germany. With the backing of the Red Army there is little doubt that the German uprising would have been overtaken by Soviet backed Communists rather than the Weimar Republic that ended up forming following the uprising. We've got Poland to thank for checking the spread of toxic Soviet Communism in Europe.
The sad irony of it all being that in turn Poland herself would later on be subjected to it for decades afterwards.
It is a terrible shame the West allowed Poland to fall behind the Iron Curtain.

Casimir Pulaski was a Polish nobleman that traveled thousands of miles away from his homeland of Poland to join the battle of independence for a fledgling nation that would come to be known as the United States of America, with a Hungarian noble named Michael Kovats they would combine their military intelligence to become the Founding Fathers of the American Cavalry. Both men shed blood and lost their lives fighting the British to aid the American rebels and both men would go on to be legends in the American mythos for their role in the creation of America's military.
Pulaski even has several American counties named in his honor and many statues built to commemorate him. In 2009 he was awarded honorary citizenship as an American citizen, in the US only 8 foreigners have been given this honor including him, sharing the stage with two other legendary men in French General Lafayette and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Poland is a fantastic nation and as an American I think we're lucky to have them as an ally. They're fierce fighters and proud people.

Most Illustrious Sir:
Golden freedom cannot be purchased with yellow gold.
I, who have the honor to present this letter to your Excellency, am also following the call of the Fathers of the Land, as the pioneers of freedom always did. I am a free man and a Hungarian. As to my military status I was trained in the Royal Prussian Army and raised from the lowest rank to the dignity of a Captain of the Hussars, not so much by luck and the mercy of chance than by most diligent self discipline and the virtue of my arms. The dangers and the bloodshed of a great many campaigns taught me how to mold a soldier, and, when made, how to arm him and let him defend the dearest of the lands with his best ability under any conditions and developments of the war.
I now am here of my own free will, having taken all the horrible hardships and bothers of this journey, and I am willing to sacrifice myself wholly and faithfully as it is expected of an honest soldier facing the hazards and great dangers of the war, to the detriment of Joseph and as well for the freedom of your great Congress. Through the cooperation and loyal assistance of Mr. Faedevill, a merchant of this city and a kind sympathizer of the Colonies and their just cause, I have obtained passage on a ship called "Catharina Froam Darmouth ", whose master is a Captain Whippy. I beg your Excellency, to grant me a passport and a letter of recommendation to the most benevolent Congress. I am expecting companions who have not yet reached here. Your Excellency would be promoting the common cause by giving Mr. Faedevill authorization to expedite their passage to the Colonies once they have arrived here.
At last, awaiting your gracious answer, I have no wish greater than to leave forthwith, to be where I am needed most, to serve and die in everlasting obedience to Your Excellency and the Congress.
Most faithful unto death,
Bordeaux, January 13th, 1777. Michael Kovats de Fabricy
P. S: As yet I am unable to write, fluently in French or English and had only the choice of writing either in German or Latin; for this I apologize to your Excellency.
That's the letter he wrote to Benjamin Franklin requesting he be allowed to aid and fight for the American cause in our revolution. Kovats also spent time in the military serving under the legendary Fredrick the Great, another mark of prestige for such a great man.

And after the battle, while looting Cara Mustafa's camp, the soldiers found coffee beans and the paraphernalia to prepare the drink; starting our love affair with coffee. There were no hipsters yet, but for them to arrive was inevitable. There was no tattoos or piercing at that time either, as it was frowned on by the religions of the time.

@Ahmet Sakızcı XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD i mean tatars, ok but turk?????? wtf did u get that bullshit from?
@Ahmet Sakızcı not stolen but created from the concept of military parations. A cavalryman was created at that time, perfect for those times, one of them crashed 30 -40 Turks, only a curved sword was taken from Turkish equipment, from other armies to fight with them this group had a double-edged sword, in addition, each was equipped with 2 pieces of rock weapon, when Turkish soldiers didn't even know how even the gunpowder smells. In addition, 4-meter long copies specially developed and balanced, hollow in the middle to reduce the weight especially with a fired base to increase its hardness, the Turks had 2.5-meter long poles while the hussar had about 12 pieces of different weapons capable of fighting against each opponent then from different parts of the world. That is why these 300 Polish soldiers were defeating an army of 10,000 Turks. Maybe you'll read before you speak? about one weapon Poland has just duplicated against the Turks, and those who created it were killed by those weapons. Remember that an ordinary Turkish soldier had only 2 weapons at that time. Polish Hussar 12 kinds and THOUGHT when to use it
@Ahmet Sakızcı The only thing yo are correct about is the 300 men part, it was 300 winged hussars and many more allies with them.
@Ahmet Sakızcı well that says a lot about you. "I know everything". Only the ignorant talk this language. Turk is relatively new, and you talk about copy.. :p
@@crystalisk5415 ahmet is right, but to be accurate it was 400 hussars vs 40k tatars, and no we didnt have any allies tatars could win but that would be very not profitable loss of 400 hussars was nothing to Poland while probable 10k of loss of tatars was terrifying loss

3. September 1683 - Vienna is firing 30 firework rockets from the tower of St. Stephens cathedral to signal their allies they can not hold out much longer.
6. September 1683 - 100 rockets are fired
7. and 8. September - countless rockets are fired in despair and hope of relief.
12. September 1683 - THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE
Respect from Turkey !
We have a saying "You shall kiss the hand that you can't bend."
We always remember and respect honourable opponents.
Amen brother. You're treatment of ANZAC pilgrims and ANZACs back in the day in general is proof (even tho you beat us). Thank you
Lots of love to Turkey and Poland

Respect for Turkey for not recognize partitions of Poland. "Lechia milletvekili henüz gelmedi" - eternal respect for Turkey for that!
Following the Partitions of Poland the Ottoman Empire along with Qajar Iran were the only major countries in the world which did not recognise the final partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1] An anecdote exists recounting the exchange between the chef de protocol of and his aide of Ottoman Empire which is widely recounted today in Poland. According to the tale, whenever the diplomatic corps was received by the Ottoman sultan, on the sight of the empty chair of the Polish deputy, the Ottoman chef de protocol would ostentatiously ask: “Where is the deputy from Lehistan?”

Obviously i had to come back when the habitual linecrosser said the polish were gonna be naming the new f-35 Hussars
Same here lol
The first video I saw of this song used footage from a Polish-Italian movies' called The Day of the Siege.
love habitual linecrosser
@@jimmybacon3870 Who?
Same here. I lost count how many times I’ve come back to this song since then
As a Turkish guy myself, Ironically this is one of my favorite Sabaton songs.
For some reason I can’t blame you

I'm not even polish but I swear, the more I read about its history and the more I think it's the most respectable country out there.
Proud of Poland from Italy.
Their heroic rescue of Vienna. Their amazing fighting retreat against the Nazis in the beginning of WW2. How they even continued to fight once occupied.
Massive respect to Poland. Wish their geography favored them more.
Now, read about the 1920 war, where over six million Russian Bolsheviks surging westward to spread the communist revolution across Europe were halted by the Polish army.
You know that at one time we were only countries in the world EVER that referenced each other in national anthem?
And then Europe spent the next 400 years giving Poland the respect they deser...

Yooo it’s 12 of September. THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!! Happy 340 anniversary!
Yes! Absolutely!
Actually learned more history from Sabaton than in actual history class
We're complementary lessons :)
@@Sabaton I learned so much from your music, every time I hear a song like this I just have to go to wikipedia and read about what happened
It gives off the same vibe as the assassin’s creed games in terms of history learned from them
Maybe you should stop sleeping in class
@@jarretdietzler7750 right
My German history teacher told bullshit about the battle of Vienna 1683, he said, Prinz Eugen von Savoyen had command and was the liberator of Vienna.
I am of Polish decent and so I had fight for the truth and argued with him about the fact, that Jan Sobieski III was commander in chief and the liberator of Vienna.
My teacher wanted to give me a bad school mark then....
BUT THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
You should have pulled an objection at the start and this would be perfect comment
at least u tried
Respect to you for fighting for the truth my brother, this is what Poland stands for 🇵🇱💪🏻🦅
@Vlad The Impaler Pirnz Eugen von Savoyen was a very successfull and important commander in the fights after the battle of vienna. No doubt about that.
@Partha MakOthna Thank you, but it happened nearly 30 years ago, the teacher is in pension already for a long time now... ;-)
339 years ago, *THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!*
Literal wings the freedom shined bright that day

@@dallasgreen4660 PFFFTTT I love it
339 hours ago, THE WINGED HUSSARS RETURNED!
They’re returning to defend Poland
gentlemen from Sabaton.... huge respect and admiration for you. I am Polish, thank you for such a beautifully presented story of my medieval brothers .... once again I bow my head to you and the Winged Husari
Thank you for your message Simon
Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!!!
change harmony to war :D there is no war after the winged hussars arrive.... any enemies are dead :P
Only the Ottomans master of all the Byzantines could stop them but when the world needed them most the Winged Hussars killed them
DUES VULT! am i right?
Marvin Flores brutal history!
LMAO
Marvin Flores yaaaaaaas
When you realize the battle of Helm's Deep was inspired by this battle.
Jan sobieski is Gandalf pretty much.
And pelennor fields
THEN THE ROHIRRIM ARRIVED!
Holy fuck.
No, the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is. In the original Helm’s Deep battle 2500 rohirrim on foot arrive lead by Erkebrand, Lord of the Westfold and Gandalf

SharpLight If Austria didn’t do that, Russia and Prussia would get all of Poland.
@@emperorconstantinexipalaio4121 Austria was taking part in it too
piotr wiśniewski Yeah, but my point is: It was only logical for Austria to join in the partition as it feared Prussia and Russia would gain too much power.
As a Polish American and a massive fan of sabaton this song brings me an incredible amount of pride.
Wrote this elsewhere, figured I'd drop it here, lol, enjoy:
Teacher: "Ok class, who know anything about the siege of Vienna?"
*Dramatic metal music slowly fades in from the back of the class*
Teacher: "w-w- what's happening?"
"When the winged hussars arrived!"
Teacher: "omg... what is happening right now?"
*the classroom shakes violently, dust falls from crumbling mortar as bricks smash and widows crack. Smoke and the ominous thunder of distant artillery fills the air, mingling with the powerful music as a voice begins to sing*
Joachim: "A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league, 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak
Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die, Will they hold the wall or will the city fall?"
*The teacher, dumbstruck, adjusts his glasses, the class, enraptured at the terrible truth to which they now find themselves a part of, looking bewildered upon layers of desperate fortification, fighting positions and what looks to be a hopeless city full of starving and fearful people, some young, some old, all resisting, all fighting though outnumbered by a great army of Ottoman Turks, above whom the battle tattered flag of the great Kara Mustafa Pasha proudly flies, his Janissaries move in formation toward a breach in the city wall, but are repulsed by the cities defenders*
Joachim: "Dedication, dedication, they're outnumbered 15 to one, and the battle's begun"
*the class turns to the sound of distant hoof beats and the clatter of wooden wings, a substantial force of horsemen approach from atop the mountain, but will they be enough? Will they make it in time?*
Joachim: "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside. Then the winged hussars arrived, coming down they turned the tide!"
*but would they though? The class watches in mute horror as they see the ottoman soldiers carrying explosives into a mine shaft extending nearly a mile from their camp to the walls of the beleaguered city, they mean to destroy their walls! The Janissaries approach in formation, awaiting the blast, anticipating their queue to visit death upon the belligerent city of Vienna.*
Joachim: "As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high, no escape and no salvation, trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls, plant the charges there and watch the city fear... Desperation, desperation, it's a desperate race against the mine, and a race against time!"
*gallant polish Hussars, winged and glorious bear down upon the gathered army, picking up a breakneck pace as they set themselves into a charge down the side of the mountain, with graceful violence they rush past the startled class, their focus not on them, but rather, upon the gathered host of Kara Pasha... but with the charges set, cam they make it in time? The answer comes in the clash of steel and the crack of cannons as the winged hussars barrel into the surprised janissaries, breaking their ranks and forcing a retreat. All the while Joachim sings:*
"Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside! Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down they turned the tide! Cannonballs are coming down from the sky! Janissaries are you ready to die? We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye. You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate. On this field you're only facing our hate but back home the sultan's sealing your fate"
Joachim is then joined by a chorus of grateful survivors from the city below as they rejoice:
"We remember, in September, that's the night Vienna was freed, we made the enemy bleed!"
Then the Hussars march by chanting, "Storm clouds, fire and steel, death from above make their enemy kneel..."
*then, just as quickly as it had begun, the broken walks of the class reform themselves, leaving a tongue tied teacher, his bewildered class, and a surly looking metal singer standing before them. The teacher says nothing, the class is silent.*
Joachim: "and that's what happened at the battle of Vienna," the class bell rings, "class dismissed," he drops his mic and walks out.
Brilliant.
Please tell me you are looking at a career in public education.
What? Oh god no.
Just feel inspired to write on occasion.
This is a fusion of the song lyrics coupled with cursory knowledge of historical data which features a high school history class as the point of view character.
Sabaton's lyrics are the real champion here.
Ha!
Wrote this forever ago, and, for some crazy reason, the original post got 30 times the likes... thought it'd get way more traction on the actual song, lol

The fact that Sabaton themselves are responding to their fans comments just speaks VOLUMES on how Great these guys are. Nothing dirty nothing negative only showing tthe Metal through the colors of beauty and power, Thankk you guys and may you and your families be blessed in everything that you do!
as a Turkish man, i liked this song. We lost against manful enemies. Salute to Our old brave enemies, Hungary & Poland.

Can you please make a song for the hundred thousands of Russian soldiers who died for the liberation of Balkan countries from the Ottoman control ?
I mean, look at the independence wars of Serbia and Greece and Bulgaria and Romania and half of Ukraine, Russia sent always soldiers to liberate these countries.
Even Armenia and Georgia were under Persian control, but we liberated them .
