The Battle at the Harzhorn 235/236 AD - short documentary (English)

The crisis of the 3rd century AD and the Battle at the Harzhorn have been a special field of interest for me for a while now. In early December 2021 i had the chance to have a little hiking tour over the former battlefield.
There is a really nice hiking trail on the Harzhorn hill, which features several information boards, which explain the course of the ancient battle to the visitor really well. This allowed me, in addition to the detailed explanations in the book "The Army of Maximinus Thrax: The Roman soldier of the early 3rd Century AD" by Jan Eschbach and Stefano Borin, to create a short video documentary, which hopefully explains the course of the battle equally well and detailed to the viewer. There are several possible ways to reconstruct the course of the battle, i mostly relied on the reconstruction by Michael Geschwinde.
My special thanks go to Adam Mann, who really helped me a lot during my first attempts at picture editing. Otherwise i would not have been able to do the video in this fashion.
