@@sammodding4609 Aw, that's cool. Send him my compliments to this group and greetings from a member of the k. k. Infanterie-Regiment No. 3 "Erzherzog Carl" from Austria. Reenactment is simply one of the coolest hobby. ^^
Greetings from Hessia. One of my ancestors also faught in the Independent War. It' s good to see that people in the states still remember them. Even we were on the enemies site back then.
@@clockworkmultiverse92 Heh, true- plus, in a way, the myth of the Headless Horseman being a Hessian killed when a cannonball carried off his head has helped keep the name in the consciousness.
The actor Rob Lowe had Great, great, great, great great grandfather who came from Germany and survived the war at Trenton. The surviving soldiers were given the choice to stay in America and help the Patriots won the war. What an amazing real story.
Noooo,thats the hohenfriedberger(sorry if the writing is bad)marsch,it was made by the könig Friedrich II der Große in the 7 years war, its based on Pappenheimer marsch and its used in the könniggrätzer marsch.
It is hohenfriedberger march written by king fredrick the great (könig Fredrick der große) about 10 years before the revolution so it is possible it could have been used by the hessians but probably not.
heh but the only issue here with the reneactors are using the 1830's 1840's french light infantry tactics especally battle lines before hand it's 3 rank battle lines is the norm not the 2 shown here.
Lovely show, one point of order Hohenfriedburger probably wouldnt of been played by the Hessian or Kassel Units.. being Prussian and about the Prussian Army.
Sam Smith What do you mean Hessian or Kassel, if Kassel is Hessian? And they did ally with prussia in the 7 years war so could have been likely influenced by Prussia.
The Hessen duchies were their own state, unlike 19th century national armies they didn’t fought for nation-state concepts but for monarchs and nobles. The British basically rented whole regiments of the German duchies and little states for fighting in the Americas, without the time consuming task of training and raising new units of their own. While these commanders of German armies (dukes, princes and electors and such) recieved compensation in money for the service of picked units, plus a bonus for every man killed in action or campaign. A practice very common in 18th century states and armies. So to answer your question, they were their own respective armies, uniforms, flags and training techniques and manuals.
+James karabatos It's paying respect to Johann Gottlieb Rall who was a colonel that was killed. The modern military gives gun salutes to those who have fallen to this day.
They aren't going away... just re-adjusting. Smaller units, more dedicated re-enactors, fewer events on public venues subject to political correctness. At least with Civil War re-enacting, you're going to see more events on private land, more hardcore events... Much smaller, yes....sadly.... But, we're now well past the 150th event series and many re-enactors came onboard for those, or stayed on just for those.
@@felixloewenich2202 "the fuck..." It's huge. Events and venues are closed because of anti-gun people, supposedly anti-racist people who are anything BUT anti-racist, anti-fascist (read-ANTIFA) actually put a frigging BOMB in sutler row at a National event. And don't say that's bullshit - I was was THERE.
Not entirely true. The Hessians fought alongside the Prussians during the 7 years war, and essentially copied all aspects of the Military under Friederich der Grosse. In addition to that , they were still in the Holy Roman Empire, so almost all aspects of militarism spread like wildfire throughout the area. One song we know that the Hessians sang was "Jucheisa, Nach Amerika", a tune about the fact that these troops were leaving their homeland with which they were so acquainted, to a land that they had no real in-depth knowledge about
The video would be better without the added background music. I clicked on it because I wanted to hear the commands in German and the sound of the marching feet on the street. Give the Hohenfriedberger March a rest.

No they shouldn’t be. That’s a myth, the hessians where one of the most disciplined army’s and would hardly lower them selves to be caught drunk while in campaign

The impressive thing is that the Officier was pretty good at pronouncing the German commands.

Many Hessian soldiers decided to stay in the United States after the war ended, so many Americans are descended from them too.

We certainly do remember them. Never doubt that for a minute.
A lot of our towns still celebrate their traditions and speak the language.

The New Holdfast Update Looks Really Good
Grüße aus Hessen-Darmstadt, sieht sehr gut aus. Respekt !
I love the Hessians
There where a lot of Bavarian units from house Ansbach-Bayreuth as well.
There are all there at the end, a third should have deserted 🤣
Trenton pd lacks proper funding
Nice work Joe
they are playing konnigratz march, which was written anout 80 years after the revolution.
No, this is not the K. March
Hohenfriedberger

Why is Danny Devito their sergeant with the pike at 40seconds in??
Me and the boys on our way to play dodgeball at PE
Notice how at the beginning they weren't marching in step with the music?
is that maybe because the music was added in post? and they weren't supposed to be stepping to imaginary music they could not hear?
heh but the only issue here with the reneactors are using the 1830's 1840's french light infantry tactics especally battle lines before hand it's 3 rank battle lines is the norm not the 2 shown here.
yea thats just not true
Как славно маршировали солдаты Павла Петровича в Гатчине.
are they speaking Deutsch?
Show Hessians em ação, colonos . Gostaria de ver filmes somente há : Revolução com All patino e O Patriota (mel Gibson)
I believe Custer had a Hessian ancestor ?
Him & half of Ireland.
What song is this? i love it. Awesome video
KristophShmit thank you so much
Hohenfriedberg March, like in "Barry Lyndon."
KristophShmit wich is weird since the battle of Königgrätz wouldnt occure until 1866 i always thought it was a song written about that battle
Hohenfriedberger Marsch.
Klaus Dieter yeah it is, but this is Not the königsgrätzer, this is the hohenfriedberger

@@thebigcheese3574 There were two hessias Hessen Darmstadt and Hessen Kassel
During the 7 years war we were allied by marriage to the hessian Landgraf, they ussed our drill the same uniform, and by the much of the same musik
Hessians played Prussian Hohenfriedberger?
DiscothecaImperialis too soon for that historically I think. But that is the march being played by the drum and fife.
my thoughts exactly. They would of played some other good ones, Something more regionally appropriate.
i find this cool i lead a hesse group in a napoleonic community we rally 20-35
Wait did they actually did a real war or where those Graves fake what's that real war I can't tell
Were the hessians trained by their own army or by the British army ?

why is the officer carry a lance?
Uniq7 NCOs disciplined the lines with the espontoon when they aimed too high or at out of line
It’s not a lance it’s a spontoon. It shows a form of commander

The tune "Hohenfriedberger Marsch" is Prussian and would be not in use within by the British hired units from Hessia and Ansbach Bayreuth.

I agree... it was irritating....
This looks like Newark New Jersey
Sounds like Newark as well with all that gun fire

What no Jaegers????
no Fahnetrager ( no one carry the regimental colors)
Probably shouldn't be marching to a Prussian tune...
