  • The Winged Hussars have arrived!
    By the 17th century it seemed like the golden age of the Winged Hussars had come to an end. Heavily armored, clad in steel and leopard skins, they had once charged over the battlefields with their wings proudly flying in the wind. But as the city of Vienna came under siege by the Ottoman Empire, the Polish Winged Hussars once more set out to meet their foes on the battlefield. Prepare for a thunderous charge that would go down in history.

      Hello,
      Great video, but there is/was (because the last video was posted over 2 years ago) a channel with the guy - Jędrek castellan of Choinik castle (unfortunately the channel does not allow translation so the videos so there are only in polish) and there is a series of videos about 'hussars' (link to his channel: th-cam.com/users/surgepoloniafeatured). In one of the series (over 40 minutes long just about hussars) he says that wings had been worn in parades (later), occasionally in battle (but smaller) and mostly 'one wing'.
      Another thing is that the most important weapon of the Hussar was not only the lance (which had over 40x250 cm banner and that banner made the impression of 'wings noise' and of 'flying hussars') but the polish hussar saber and other weapons (a lot of them) in general regiment of hussars was kind of 16th-century super-heavy tank.
      And in other of his videos, he says: 'Yeah, the Battle Vienna was a big one, but Battle of Khotyn (1621) was a better one - with the biggest gathering of polish hussars'
      What do you think about it?
      Cheers.
      [EDIT] Also I have rewatched videos about hussars (link above) and Jędrek claims that 'real' victory of the Turks happened during the Battle of Párkány.

      You’d be more impressed with the Polish uprising soldiers (Kotwica), they were supremely outnumbered but fought like hell, had slogans such as “one bullet, one German” posted around the city because ammunition was scarce. But yes as a Pole myself I’m very proud of our history, from having the strongest Calvary of all time to having been invaded from both sides (Germany/Russia) and still holding our city until all hope was lost. It was almost like the battle of 300 with Kotwica, they knew they would die, completely outnumbered but fought anyway.

    When I was younger one of my uncle’s made several set of the hussar wings for a friend’s performance troupe that performed at various state Renfairs. I remember helping my uncle test them to make sure the feathers held during a fast ride against the wind.
    It struck me the sound they made when you where being subject to their charge. This eerie whipping howl. I’ve always imagined that sound, amplified by a thousand or more hussars, combined with the ground shaking thunder of a massed charge would be disastrous to morale. Since lancers are a one shot for effect, you’d want to stack every advantage you could. Whether or not they did, I can’t say. Still, I would think someone would have noticed that sound and realized the effect it bring to a charge.

      Austria had been allied with Poland in the Second Northern War (1655-1660) when it signed an alliance with Poland in 1656.
      The Austrian troops helped Poland to win this war.
      Basically most of the problems between Poland and Austria(/Germans) came after 1683.
      Thus Austria and Poland rather used to be allies.
      Poland had a rivalry with Brandenburg-Prussia, but probably because Poland allied with Austria the elector of Brandenburg anyway decided not to send troops to Vienna in 1683.
      The German troops that fought at Vienna came from Bavaria (led by Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel of Bavaria) with about 10.500 troops, Saxony (led by Elector John George III. of Saxony) with 9.000 troops and from various smaller German countries that provided an additional 9.500 soldiers.
      I don’t think that there was a rivalry between Bavaria or the other German countries and Poland.

    Loved this video!! However, I have to point out one small detail: at Vienna only 3,000 Winged Hussars were there. The rest of the cavalry force was the standard cavalry of the time: pistoliers and pseudo-knights of the Holy League. The thing that made the Winged Hussars so famed was the fact that they were the vanguard of the cavalry force attacking the Ottoman redoubt. They were the first ones into the fray and the impact of their first charge was indeed the decisive point of the battle. The Ottoman lines had been failing and starting to give for a few hours before the cavalry charge, but the impetus of the largest cavalry charge in history broke any remaining military order in the Ottoman army. The winged hussars were the tip of the spear, but they were not alone. Other than that detail, great job! :D

      Hell the Polish cavalry was defeated by the Ottomans hardly one month after the Battle of Vienna.
      At the Battle of Párkány Sobieski wanted to attack the Ottomans with 5.000 Polish cavalry soldiers, but his vanguard was routed by the Ottomans and the entire Polish cavalry force had to retreat suffering 1.000 casualties in the process.
      The Polish troops were saved when they reached the Austrian and German troops that had been a few kilometers away and when the retreating Polish troops reached them the Austrian and German cavalry counterattacked the Ottoman cavalry.
      Two days later the combined Austrian, German and Polish forces defeated the Ottomans during the second stage of the Battle of Párkány.

      The winged hussars were great cavalry, but of course not superhuman like they are seemingly often portrayed.
      In the Battle of Warsaw in 1656 the allied forces of Sweden (9.500 soldiers) and Brandenburg (8.500 soldiers) defeated a significantly larger Polish force of circa 40.000 soldiers which included around 950 winged hussars.

That was a Polish old traditions from a father to son. One more thing.. Pike - maximal 7 meters, the longest pike's used by a cavalery at these time (inside empty and light).

    I have a book on the History of Cavalry, which says that the purpose of the "wings" was tactical. The Cossack and Tartar cavalry were mostly agile light cavalry, who used a lasso as a weapon to unhorse their opponents. The purpose of the "wings" was to prevent the lasso from catching you. The wings were meant to grab the lasso. The wing gets taken off, but the rider is unharmed. Sort of a breakaway anti-lasso defense.

    Interestingly enough, nowadays one doesn't think of Hussars as having wings. When you see Hussars uniforms around the world they're mostly drawn from Hungarian Hussars (without the metal plates and no wings). When I listened to this song the first time (in a fanmade video in TH-cam) I was in awe "They have WINGS!". I commented it to an old friend in Poland and he was very surprised "Of course they have wings. They all have, right?". I had to show him pictures for him to understand. In turn, he showed me pictures of Polish Hussars with different versions of uniform and wings. It was a very interesting exchange, and sparked in me the interest for making drawings about these soldiers and listen more of Sabaton.
