Kriegerdammerung it's from reddit, the subreddit r/trebuchetmemes are known for insisting that trebuchets are superior to other catapults.

France builds a medieval castle and a 16th century tall ship. Germans are building and testing better trabuchets, each day more and more people are into historical european martial arts (HEMA), weapons and armor... could it be that Einstein was wrong and in fact the 3rd world war was to be the medieval one?

As a german, it's incredibly satisfying to watch us learn the art of medieval warfare all the while the french are rebuilding castles. If given the chance, I might sign myself up for this as well. Can't wait to try it out.
Sending 70% of a castle's army out into the field to face a practically infinite enemy is also probably not a good idea. Those trebuchets should have stayed in the castle wit the army
The trebuchet "Warwolf"at the siege of Stirling Castle: "The Warwolf could reportedly accurately hurl rocks weighing as much as three hundred pounds (140 kg) from distance of 200 meters and level a large section of the curtain wall." When the Scots saw the machine they tried to surrender. It was refused. The siege continued.

@@peteraugust5295 You would imagine that the shots would be aimed for a weak point, wood, or other trebuchets. that 75kg rock would destroy most things it touches including castle walls, it doesn't look like it does much because it's hitting the dirt in a very anticlimactic fashion and the dirt is absorbing the majority of the impact... you know... except for the massive hole it created. o7
@@atmos5569 It is straight out hitting a beam and really doesnt do to much damage. If a Trebuche would take down a wall easily, sieges wouldnt have gone on for weeks or even month.
You aren't going to take any castles with that contraption! In LOTR Return of the King - those trebuchets were flinging 10-ton rocks and whole masonry chunks at the mountainside citadel castle and bringing it down!
The largest trebuchet in europe actually is the Warwick Castle Trebuchet. This German one only stands 15metres the Warwick stands 18metres and is the largest not just in europe but the world.
Fun fact: Hussites used those to shoot barrels with shit, rotting food, rotting corpses of animals or people to spread disease in the besieged place. :)
During the siege of Tenochtitlan in 1521, Cortes built a trebuchet to save on gunpowder. However, the first projectile fired rose into the air and immediately fell down, completely destroying the weapon. This is one of the last recorded military uses of a trebuchet.
5:11 Holy Mother of God if I seen a trebuchet whip a 70kg stone like that in my direction I would start praying! The chances of the loose rope aligning with the basket edge must be so astronomically low for that to happen!
Early accounts mention bodies and rotting meat being thrown into castles to cause disease among beseiged people. Fire would be the worst aspect of this as most of the living spaces in castles were wood.
If you had 4 of this and you could throw 50 rocks with each one a day, the damage on the castle would be great. Don't underestimate trebuchets just because they're slow.
"to fire" an artillery made of wood and launching stone without any firework ? It's like people who talk about "the front" when they talk about napoleonic or medieval war.
Trebuchets weren't really that big. In fact, they were actually quite small for the most part. There were a couple few instances of trebuchets being big but some of those were used for castle sieges and there really isn't any factual evidence of them being large. The trebuchet was mainly used at a way to take down infantry and such and was quite useful.
@@LutzDerLurch I really don't need citation as its quite obvious. The smaller trebuchets were more practical and besides, larger one were extremely expensive and weren't worth it.
@@scootch4224 Trebuchets were not anti personel weapons. they were immobile, and had only limited ability to aim anywhere else but straight ahead. which makes them a no-go for field battles. To say trebuchets were mostly used against infantry, is like claiming battering rams were anti-infantry. Trebuchets were "siege engines", machines devised and dedicated to one single purpose: battering down the walls and defenses of besieged castles and towns. the trebuchets came in diffrent sizes and the enormous ones were the exceptions, true, but the always were sizeable, because they had to be to launch sufficiently large stones sufficiently far. And especially the counterweight trebuchets. Their whole point was about sitting just outside the range of the defenders archers and crossbowsmen, and shoot at one part of the defenses again ans again, until something starts to crumble.
For the last shot they researched the chemistry upgrade.

Spending time reloading ineffective weapons minutes before the onslaught... probably not time well spent.

They shouldve just turtled inside the castle and swept the masses with dragonfire guess most of em wanted to die
Yeah, the dead aren't exactly known as expert archers
Did it trigger anyone else that the preview only showed a ballista?
I triggered that they didnt balance their bolt well so it only flopped around in the air
No.

For more distance they could change the angle of the peg, it was releasing slightly late. But they made a good fiery shot eventually.
That cameraman trusted them a lot to stand that close
I have a 81mm mortor protecting my house... Might need to add one of these to the defence.
Really cool how I get this after watching colin furzes video
The roar of the flaming projectile was very satisfying. I wonder if all 4 critical hinges were greased.

That looked freaking amazing :D
That last shot was pretty cool !
Woooow ! Keep the good work guys ! You are awesome !

Nice Trebuchet. You must be Imperial Age.
So *this* is what it meant when they said Germany was bolstering their army.
Hello guys, Nice work.
Can I use some clips in a documentary on medieval warfare?
Imagine how big and heavy they were where they were launching them at actual castles when they were actually being used for war
holy shit this is one of the coolest and most interesting things I've ever seen!!!!!!
While 400 ft seems pretty good, I’m honestly a little disappointed for how short the throw was, I was thinking it was going to hurl it like a 1000ft
now imagine hundreds of these things all firing at once.
We need at least three of these in Hong Kong right now

Yea I think if it was 1200 AD and someone threw flaming balls of fire at my fortifications with this thing that I would be freaking out.
Holy moly, at 5:08 you can the that the projectile was hit with the rope to get that sweet extra boost.
That was the most extravagant thing I've ever fucking seen

6:00 is no one gonna talk about the poor little flamingo that almost got torched by the shot
If you had 4 of this and you could throw 50 rocks with each one a day, the damage on the castle would be great.
Don't underestimate trebuchets just because they're slow.
Early cannons had to dug into pits in the absense of gun mounts and traing and elevation gear. No quick firing artillery in the early days.
So much better than a filthy catapult
There's a trebauchet in England that they fire small cars with. That's wild........lol
Oh C'mon, his group could have been called the Medieval Barons.
Let's all admit, the last shot was cool.
they didn't grease the guide channel. There's a lot of friction going on there, cause of the rubber and the weight of the stone.

Un magnifique ingénieux système de contre-poids permettant de lancer des projectiles de 90kg à plus de 300m.
Grandiose
une mécanique impressionnante et assez fiable bravo pour ce défi technique et historique !!
The guy standing on the sling while loading the stone obviously didn't watch cartoons as a child
Wow incredble pathethic. A "siege" weapon can barely hit a wooden fence in an incredible short distance for such weapon.
You only need to out range the defenders bows!
Well........ Boy's always did have the BEST toys......
Absolutely amazing we'll done I would love to see that with my own eyes
Somebody should recreate Warwolf and bust down some walls with it
The stone is released too late, resulting in a too shallow angle. If you release it slightly earlier, it goes up more and flies further. My 2c.
i love this video. fantastic knowledge
Takes 3 hours to load only to blow up the spectators.
I'd like to see someone to make the semi automatic trebuchet from narnia
Well done... but because FIRE! has another meaning... AWAY! or something perhaps, with all that wood around. hehe
Oh, my. Modern siege engineers.
I so wish they had go-pros back then
5:51 imagine sitting in your village and hear 20 of those things launched at the same time
They needed to grease up the actual portion that the sling slides out
it must have been insane to see these first put in use.
Klasse! Wurde der Bau auch verfilmt?
All this for only 136m? Seems a lot of work for such a short distance.
