- In Episode 6 of the Redcoat History Podcast, we examine the final chapter of the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879.
After a series of defeats at Isandlwana, Ntombe Drift and Hlobane mountain the British are finally ready to turn the tables and launch a fresh invasion of Zululand. This time they have the manpower, the weaponry and the will to steam-roller King Cetswayo and his already battered army - but can they do it?

These podcasts are amazing to have in the background while working, thank you for making them
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that.
Listened to these again driving from Swansea. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
The 6 episodes about the Anglo-Zulu war are well done. Splendid work!
Thanks a lot - are you interested in the Peninsular war of 1808-1814? That's what Im busy with probably till end of next year...
Absolutely. I did sent a mail about some ideas on your blog and a connection on your LinkedIn. Let me know what you think, please.
@@johannleuckx1625 Blouwberg? Apologies I've been so busy I may have let those slip through the cracks...Feel free to nudge me on them (I don't check Linked in much to be honest)
Love this format. I’m currently a carpenter, and I listen to TH-cam on my headset so it’s nice not losing any context to video content I can’t see.
Yet again a brilliant Podcast. Thank you....
Wilko Wilkinson thanks a lot that is great to hear. I’m busy working on one about the battle of Plassey and the start of the Raj now
I've never heard such detailed accounts from the Zulu Wars, this is an absolutely fascinating series, Christian........ thank you so much for your hard work!! Rule Britannia!!!🇬🇧✌️
Thanks a lot mate - glad you like it.
@redcoathistory I love it mate, I really do.
What a great series this was. Very refreshing to hear these stories from someone in the field and who has a sense of the landscape and feel of the ground itself. Definitely added gravitas to the presentation. Thanks again.
Cheers, Chris. Appreciate the feedback.
Another great informative podcast and having the benefit of previously watching some of the battlefield videos it was much easier to piece together in my mind. Well done and look forward to another podcast.
Cheers Mark - yes I think you've done it the right way.
Wonderful, many thanks.
The OG "This is my rifile. There are many like it..."
This is where the gatling gun was used
Yes, though the first time was battle of Nyezane 22nd Jan 1879.
Wonderful stuff as always. Have you listened to David Rattray's 'Day of the Dead Moon'? What a wonderful narration of the events that unfolded... Thanks for your incredible work and fascinating posts / videos and podcasts, they are great to listen to!
Thanks Jonny - yes David Rattray is still considered the GOAT of AZW history storytelling.
I wrote a book on the battle of Isandlwana. Make a video on the First Afghan War or Majuba!
Bee stingah was here!
Excellent
Thanks
stop pointing at me , brilliant podcast
I for one am fed up with the adulation of our enemies. Giving every grand excuse as to their defeats and winging on about some action that makes our warriors look bad. I am proud of our British military heritage. We ( those real British men) created the largest empire the world has seen and kept it running with 60,000 troops and diplomats. Then we gave it away when we didn't have to. We have defeated the French, Germans, and Japanese. What was it all for? Did we start these wars? NO! They started it and we finished it for the sake of peace.
Hay mate, I am a patriotic Brit but I'm afraid a lot of what you are saying simply isn't true. All of the enemies you mention were defeated by us alongisde our coalition partners in long wars that we would never have won alone. As for the Zulus I think they deserve massive respect for battling an enemy with vastly superior firepower. Our historical enemies deserve credit and should be respected.
Union Jack,butchers Apron
You’ll look good in it👍🏼
I bet you look at the Union Jack like a vampire looks at a cross...😂🤣
Rockers drift heroes..you only mentioned chard.what about the rest of they were all involved in that fight? And other question did they wipe all Zulus there.. including children and their mothers ?
Hi - I have an entire series of videos of Rorkes drift. And no, I’ve never seen any accusations that they killed women and children.
👍
you worship trains and mitigates now days. oh and the suavey
You didn't learn from your mistakes. You lost the American Colonies, then in a generation got beat again.
The British Empire recovered from the independence of the 13 colonies very quickly. It reached its height over a century afterwards. The War of 1812 (which the Americans essentially lost) is a forgotten border spat in Britain, overshadowed by the victory over Napoleon. The world didn't revolve around America until the 1940s, you know 🙂
It's an amazing reflection on how bad the American education system is that you still class the War of 1812 as a victory. Being very generous to the US, it was a draw, more a British victory if anything. America started it and got zero out of it.
The ancestry of the Americans who fought for independence was..British! The French involvement effectively bankrupted France and created the great republican Napoleon (who was crowned king of France and made his brother King of Spain. Thankfully, the Americans came to his aid and he won the battle of Waterloo according to American history books. Thankfully the US will soon be ruled by BLM, the only true Americans!
bet your not even alive anymore
@@owenjones7517true but i see 1812 a tie
Without the US Britain would have been on the losing side in both world wars...deal with it
😂😂👍🏼 I wasn’t aware that had anything to do with the video. Great comment 🤦🏻♂️
Read your history books , not the American one's , your talking crap 🇬🇧
@@johnnybeer3770 I have read my history books...Britain always being bailed out of a mess they have gotten themselves in...just be thankful that Hitler decided not to curb stomp you after Dunkirk.
@@curtc2194 The debacle of Dunkirk was caused the capitulation of Belgium and inept old French generals in their 80s who used antiquated communication systems ( runners and motorcycles not telephones ) it donkeys being led by clowns who had no idea what was happening and relying on the Maginot line ( a white elephant against Blitzkreig) to save them and ruling out the Ardennes as a possible invasion point . We alone extricated ourselves from the mess which was not of our making, saving 338,000 troops , including French soldiers . The reason Hitler stopped at that point when he thought he had us bottled up is because he hoped to do a deal with us to help him to defeat Russia to which he was told to go screw himself . We then fought the the " The battle of Britain " on our own and beat him .I didn't see Uncle Sam riding to the rescue for the two years we fought alone , and had it not been for Pearl Harbour wouldn't have. America was quite happy to sit back with their isolationist stance and supply the bullets for other people to fire while making lots of lovely dollars.As regards WW 1 you only fought in it for 6 weeks at the end of 1918 are you claiming that you won that for us as well ? I would draw your attention to the Korean War where British Royal Marines extricated your G.I.s (who had dropped their weapons and run away ) from the Chinese, and The Black Watch( a Scottish regiment ) who retook the hill and held it against overwhelming odds .Vietnam , another fine mess , even with all your military might you couldn't defeat a lot of peasant farmers , another mess you had to extricate yourself from .Finally , speaking of messes Tehran 1979 what a glorious mess you made of that , and right after in 1980 the S.A.S.sucessfully liberated the Iranian embassy, which Britain offered to loan you , and you declined saying our boys can do the job we don't need your help --- ye right . As an American you should be the last one to talk about getting in and out of messes , your country hasn't won a war yet on it's own, maybe you should have got John Wayne to give you a hand .Incidentally were you aware that the American Military pays Hollywood millions of dollars a year to paint them in the best possible light showing how heroic they are to reassure the gullible American public how safe they are ,so safe the in 1960 and 1961 Britains Vulcan bombers penetrated America's air defences twice in war games and nuked you twice . It's a matter of public record which the military buried until 2010 , look it up . Rule Britannia .🇬🇧
It's a pity the brits were not in Vietnam with you, it might have ended better.
The brits handled a communist insurgency perfectly in the Malayan Emergency in the 50s, it appears that nobody in the American military were awake at the time.
Apartheid
Bring it back.
