Massacre In The Black Forest (1967) ~ Teutonic Tribes Vs Roman Army | Fort Battle Scene | Part 2/2 Very good job. I am extremely attracted by what you have done for this one. Have a great day, my dears friend! 👍👌🤝🙏🔔💎
They may obviously not have the same production quality as newer movies but I always respected the old films that gathered this many extras and portrayed historical combat in this way
That is so bad but it's fantastic. My favourite part is the conveniently placed hay bales next to the buildings, just waiting to be set alight. The scorpion placed backwards is also pretty good as are the hide shields. Great stuff!!!
Why would the Romans build a fort with long straight walls? The best defensive fortification design was the star-shape, with many points, and short angled walls, that create natural killing-zones, for the archers to shoot at attackers with cross and enfilading fire. That way, no attacker can get 'below-the-arc of fire', because each wall is covered by the archers on the opposing wall. Therefore, there would be no safe places or blind spots for the attackers to hide. And, everybody knows that you NEVER position your main gate toward the most obvious direction of attack! Sheesh! Anyway, thank you for uploading this classic! 🙂
@@sirtaelellevalerie1056 come on...details details! I mean a millenia isn't that far off! The siege machinery was pretty similar... ladders and pole vaulting are clearly similar to trebuckets lobbing dead cows and such.
I am german, live next to former fortified border between Imperium Romanum and Germania Magna. The Roman Forts ( in german Kastelle - see english word Castle) had been standardized. Allways square shape and at least one ditch, larger forts of cohortes had two to three ditches.
I think they all killed each other out of desperation despair because the movie was so horrendous as final act of utter contempt ..thy burnt the set down!!
As a person interested in Roman military tactics, I was amazed to observe that the red wool underwear ploy actually worked. I haven’t run into that one in the scholarly works on the subject.
They pour fire on the wooden palisade, on which they themselves stand, this is a brilliant commander. The barbarians just had to move away and wait for the stockade to burn down, their commander is also talented. I laughed wildly in the process of viewing.
UA-cam has inflicted me randomly with this video clip. It must be the algorithm for ‘I like crap films in foreign languages that drive me to the whisky bottle’. Red must have been the trendy colour in Italian films of the 60s.
This did not happen. Publius, the violent, murderous, black sheep of the Quinctilii family, son of the treacherous Sextus Quinctilius who twice betrayed Julius, was defeated in the FORESTS of Gemany by superior organisation and planning, most certainly NOT in forts, or open ground fighting. Publius was crude, brutal, but simple. Why Augustus tried to organise the joining of the clans with the marriage of Publius to his Grand Niece is a mystery, one of the few things he got wrong. He had already achieved unity with the appointment of Alfenus Quinctilius Varus to Consul in 2AD. The entire Quinctilius family were pleased Publius was beheaded. In fact, it was they who organised the death of his son to end that line.
Finally a real battle! I always wondered how it went down for real. Battle looks like fun, no wonder if they been fighting all the time, no blood, everybody minding their own business.
I am an Iraqi war veteran. I fought at Mosul, Najaf, and Baghdad. Battle isn’t fun or cool. It like being a virgin. You think sex is amazing until you stick your dick in a vagina. Then you relieve that ain’t what you though it was. I seen grown men turned in to blubbering fools due to shell shock. My lieutenant took a 12.7 dshk to the chest. I saw men turned into road kill. I had to kill over 72 men, women, and children. Not counting all of the air strikes that I called in. I was the radio man for my company. So yeah, the hajjis were always shooting at me first. Anything with an antenna they would kill first. Good men died and leaving their wives to be widows and child as bastards. The hardest part was explaining to the wives and loved ones that their was nothing left of their sons. That way he was cremated. All in the name of wealth, power,and slaves. So that an elite few can live in luxury. While the rest of us suffered, bleed, and died!
@@samueljackson6188 I tried to be funny, I am pretty sure the Roman battles were extremely bloody as they were hand to hand combat. Also the Roman legion got destroyed in the forest where they were only able to walk in single line and were not able to use their battle formations.
Not at all; didn't you know that the five finger vapid draw was a legitimate bowman's tactic? It was to convince the enemy that you were really shite with the thing, instilling a false sense of security.
Wow! They had really bad archers in the Roman army back then! Two Calvary charges and only one shot down. Tisk Tisk Tisk! Hey! whose idea was it to pour burning oil over the side of our "wooden walls"?!
Sorry to admit - it was I. I live in Bolton (northwest of Manchester, UK). Your laughter was so incredibly loud, the radish in my back garden jumped out of the soil and ran to Wigan.
When I look outside the window I can see the Black Forest in the distance. However it looks quite hilly, dark and rather forested, I guess that is why it is called as it is. And when I watch the outcome of the depicted battle I wonder how come we speak a Germanic language and not a Romance one. But as this is an Italian film it seems they had to fix some kind of Roman trauma...
In fact there were no one common Germanic language at those times but they were understanding each other. The domimant effects came from Franconian and Saxon languages. First one is also the known source for Dutch. But compared to modern French, old Germanic languages are more closer to the modern German
@@jamesvanlinden3567 I think that you will find that modern English is about half Germanic and half French, predicated on the Norman conquest of England.
@@markbranstner7670 No. Just because Farankish and Saxon forces were more settled, on the other hand other like Swabians were more moving. Interesting but true, you may still see some place names in Swabian in Portugal
@@jamesvanlinden3567 Franconian and Saxon are both Germanic languages, as is Norse, as well as many other Northern European tribes and affiliates. The Norman Conquest added early French to the mix, which is obviously Latin based. Roughly 1000 years later modern English is a roughly 50/50 mix of Germanic and Latin derivatives. I stand by my statement.
@@markbranstner7670 I mean the same. But almost all western European modern languages are artificially derivation of some. Like Schiller argued on this common culture
Here all along I thought I would never see a movie depicting fighting action sequences as great as anything witnessed in the Lee Majors' movie "The Norseman" and then I stumble upon this magnificent scene. it just goes to show you can learn something new everyday.
Anyone notice, in the opening scene, how fire poured on attackers did not set the WOODEN barriers on fire? Must have been sprayed with Teflon. Plus, the attackers only assaulted in one place; usually they attack on all possible sides. Ok, just a movie.
All that pretty Roman artillery just sitting there. No use for any of that stuff. No sir. Wouldn't be fair! And all of the brushwood neatly stacked against the wall of every interior building. Hard to start a fire without convenient bundles of kindling stacked everywhere. It's amazing how sophisticated movie audiences have become in the last 50+ years.
Arminius learnt Roman battle tactics. Lots of Germanic tribes acted as Foderati in the Roman army. Much better is the series Barbarian (s) from what I've seen .
A lot of these movies were sensationalized in terms of the actual fighting that occurred, but the fact remains is that the Romans were both brutal and relentless. If they lost a battle, they'd regroup and try again until they carried the day....
@@sirtaelellevalerie1056 welll... not exactly! It never was their territory... it was a punitive raid across the rhine. And they did come back and kick arse not long after, but undestood it was never viable to try to retain the territory, so they burnt their bridges on the way back. And yes... the battle this video is supposed to represent was in 9AD.... so the roman empire (which started in 47BC) did start to crumble pretty quickly! 476 AD it folded, so only 467 years later when it finally crumbled.

It was what it was however any prat in the world with a brain can see the fort had the edge until some prat decided to burn it down i also was not aware that poll vaulting was a sport so long ago
@@oftin_wong that is what I said . The black forest is in Germany, it's called the black forest because it is forest. Not an open field , common sense should tell you that there was no fort . There where and still are a lot of trees 🌳,
Depois de tanta destruição, de tanta matança, de tantos soldados mortos em nome de alguém, de.algum imbecil ganancioso, o comandante romano deixa tudo pra lá, entrega a conquista nas mãos dos Teutos e simplesmente vai embora. Lindo, lindo e lindo demais. Será que foi isso mesmo? Em primeiro lugar não deveriam ter invadido terras germânicas no porque não eram absolutamente deles, dos romanos, mas já que foi e invadiu, então o romano teve uma crise de consciência e pronto, entregou tudo. Romântico, muito romântico. Me apaixonei pela estória.
What I love about old movies like this. Is they don't have all that CGI crap back then so most of this is real. What I don't like about old movies like this is how cringy it is
I love these old films, love the battle scenes though still have not seen a Roman battle that corresponded with the way they fought. It is something that needs doing on an epic scale. Even gladiator had them sword fighting like knights on foot. The gladius was a stabbing and thrusting weapon. The roman would hide their arm behind the scutum. When they thrust the weapon as they pushed the shield it was hard to know where the gladius was going to hit you from. Lower torso. chest, neck or in your face. Imagine being body pushed by the scrotum ( Shield ) and as you went back hitting those pushing blade hit you in the eye. They practiced efficient ways to kill. Even their sandals later had spikes put on them so they would not slip on the blood. However these old movies are brilliant.
Just a load of lads having some fun, not a mobile phone in sight. Better days.

There was no fort in the battle
Just forest
@@oftin_wong that is what I said . The black forest is in Germany, it's called the black forest because it is forest. Not an open field , common sense should tell you that there was no fort . There where and still are a lot of trees 🌳,

Depois de tanta destruição, de tanta matança, de tantos soldados mortos em nome de alguém, de.algum imbecil ganancioso, o comandante romano deixa tudo pra lá, entrega a conquista nas mãos dos Teutos e simplesmente vai embora. Lindo, lindo e lindo demais. Será que foi isso mesmo? Em primeiro lugar não deveriam ter invadido terras germânicas no porque não eram absolutamente deles, dos romanos, mas já que foi e invadiu, então o romano teve uma crise de consciência e pronto, entregou tudo. Romântico, muito romântico. Me apaixonei pela estória.

I bet that Roman general could hardly hear himself think - what with all that loud music .
Fantastic battle scene.
why does it look like the Romans are all red pajamas?

What I love about old movies like this. Is they don't have all that CGI crap back then so most of this is real. What I don't like about old movies like this is how cringy it is
Yeah, and there's nothing subtle about that soundtrack, either! Eeeeesh!!!
@@TraderRobin Ed Wood would be pissed off.
I thought I had the worst movie ever.😭
so beautiful. what is this?
Where Olympic pole vault was invented..
I love these old films, love the battle scenes though still have not seen a Roman battle that corresponded with the way they fought. It is something that needs doing on an epic scale. Even gladiator had them sword fighting like knights on foot. The gladius was a stabbing and thrusting weapon. The roman would hide their arm behind the scutum. When they thrust the weapon as they pushed the shield it was hard to know where the gladius was going to hit you from. Lower torso. chest, neck or in your face. Imagine being body pushed by the scrotum ( Shield ) and as you went back hitting those pushing blade hit you in the eye. They practiced efficient ways to kill. Even their sandals later had spikes put on them so they would not slip on the blood.
However these old movies are brilliant.
Quite interesting how this Black Forest isn’t very foresty
neither very black
excellente bravo
That has to be the oddest dressed Roman army I've ever seen.
Hollywood Romans, before there was any historical and technical advice on film sets .
@@chrisholland7367 They still don't have that now on movie sets
Wal Mart special. since the delivery from Rome was hijacked the Romans had no choice

Well. Boys will be boys.
Glad to see he got the girl.
The pole vaulting was worthy of a gold , in fact we didn't they try the hop skip and jump ! Or the frosby flop !
Maybe even the Fosbery flop.
