No it was quite simple, any soldier without a redcoat on was the enemy and it was as simple as that. No redcoat shoot them. Nothing remarkable about it if you are wearing a redcoat it made you a target also. The British knew equally who they were shooting at. There's no big fucking mystery behind the Redcoats other than if you weren't identified as wearing one you could be shot in battle it was an advantage and disadvantage at the same time.
@@brentmarshall928 if napoleon wasn’t stopped, their would’ve been many more lives lost, think of it that way, very morbid way of thinking, but still true

Excellent video, the music works perfectly. Waterloo is fantastic film, those massed cavalry charges are awesome especially the French one with Ney at the head. Its easy to criticise its accuracy in detail it as its compressing a great deal into its run length but it succeeds totally in evoking the brutal yet sometimes thrilling reality of one of the most famous battles in history.
@@LockheedFan The implication by Mar Mar is that Brezhnev somehow supported or sponsored Waterloo. If this is the case, then we do actually have something to thank this individual for. Shame about the years he was in power in general.
@@wentonmastermind Well the film makers did borrow the Red Army to make it, presumably somebody approved.. The only film I know to give a fairly accurate representation of the actual numbers involved. To quote from Sharpe: "You will be the first to see a French column , it is not a pretty sight."
@@wentonmastermind It's a shame to say, but Czech citizens served Hitler's interests and licked his ass all through the war. They also produced a huge number of weapons for him. Slovakia was generally an ally of Hitler and sent its Army to the USSR. Don't you have anything to say about this? Do you want to apologize? As for the fascist uprising of 1968 in Prague, Brezhnev did everything right, because the fascist bandits who shot in the back are not the same as the entire people of Czechoslovakia.

I doubt very much that Blücher would have appreciated being called a mercenary. The plan Wellington and the Prussians agreed upon worked out just fine, if a little suspenseful towards the end.
It was an allied army. The Hessians could be called Mercenaries but had a long tradition of fighting for the British, possibly because of Royal family links.
@@craigbeerdozer4197 I don't think the Hessians appreciated being called mercenaries and they were definitely not Prussian. They were hired as auxiliary troops by the British during the Revolutionary War because of their military reputation. Royal connections were secondary considerations, if considered at all. The King's German Legion, which fought for the British at Waterloo, were Hanoverians, not Hessians.
The 'Allied' army had a major part made up of what were later known as 'Dutch-Belgians'. In this film, Napoleon considered them of little importance. Of those fighting at Waterloo, the Allies made up the larger part, which is why Boney tried to fight them separately and muffed it. While the British and Prussians both claim the victory, and some French today claim they didn't lose, or that Napoleon wasn't defeated, 2/3rds of the soldiers under Wellington were that contingent I just mentioned, and whom almost never get mentioned, and made victory possible. Those mentioning the fictitious Sharpe should look into what the riflemen of the 95th did at Waterloo, as they had been paid off, then raised again (mostly without any thought given to paying them), in time for them to shoved into a farm to hold it (entirely the opposite of what they knew how to do); the battle began well for them, holding off a couple of infantry attacks, then they sensibly retired to a place known as the sandpit and stayed there.
The reason why Britain chose red coats was because they didn't know what to do with the blood of their enemies.
Idk if curing the blood can make it a dye so 🤷♂️
It was because it was the cheapest option

God save Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, who loved historical films and thanks to whom we can enjoy this masterpiece of cinema.
Shame the citizens of Czechoslovakia had no say in the matter on 21 August 1968.
