Gustavus Adolphus, amirite
I have a question for you guys, and feel free not to answer as I am not a patron, but are you guys going to to more late roman wars? I’m doing a huge research project on the evolution of the Roman armies from the principate to the early Arab invasions and already your videos have been super helpful.

Sounds cool, Illyrian stuff would be helpful
Ottoman wars ducumentary??
@@TyrannosaurusRex5027 Yep, more on the way!
The Swedes went from gaining victory like Alexander to gaining victory like Pyrrhus.

@@croco3671 thankyou kind sir
@@justinlabrosse8506 very nice
Sweden kept winning after Gustavus death too though, thanks to some very skilled generals.
@@Red0100 yep Charles XII was even better than Gustavas
It's rare to see a battle where soldiers' morale is still in shape, even after their king's death.
when they heard that their king died they fought like furies
@@Sturminfantrist Probably out of vengeance for their martyred king
@ShogunBean C.V. Wedwood descriped it in its Book "The Thrity Years War" when rumor spread that their king was dead the Swedes were fourious attacked at the right flank and won the victory, the first sign that the King was dead was when some swedish officiers saw his wounded Horse without a Rider calloping over the battlefield.
Its on side 307 "the thirty years war" C.V. Wedgwood.
the best Book i ever read about the thirty years war, worth to read
They didnt know, I know I am quoting the wiki but I dont have the book in which I read this on hand " He ( Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar) vowed to win the battle in retribution for Gustavus or die trying, but contrary to popular legend tried to keep the king's fate secret from the army as a whole. (Although rumours were circulating much earlier, it was only the following day that Bernhard collected his surviving officers together and told them the truth.) "
Strength of a nation state compared to a medieval state where the ruler was the country.
"I WAS the King of Sweden"
I cri
Even more sad is that the actual words he spoke were "Ich bin der König von Schweden...gewesen." (Roughly, "I am the King of Sweden...no more.")
"Bin" is the German word for "am", but "bin [...] gewesen" is a way of saying "was".
So he said "I am the King of Sweden", paused, realized he was about to die, and added "gewesen", making it past tense.
wrong answer
He may not have been a real lion but his balls were the size of those on a lion. I'm BATMAN
😢
@@TheCommunistColin This shows that he could speak German very well. That is a fact. He was married to a German princess. Whatever his role in our country may habe been - he could at least speak our language.
What a awful time to be alive. If I remember it correctly my home village in Saxony was plundered six times in the war.
Faaaack dude
It's getting boring being sacked, geez.........
The_Clever_Merchant I don’t know if I should be laughing at this joke, so I’ll just give ya a like.
The 30 years war was comparable to WW2 in terms of raw carnage and death inflicted on the people. Entire cities, towns, and villages were erased from the map. A some point the war devolved into an all out slaughter fest of "kill everyone." Germany would not recover for 200 years.
at least Cristian IV wasnt your king

Two excellent generals on one battlefield. The one lost and retreated, the second won but fell during the battle...
Reminds me of Ceasar vs Labienus in Spain, except the outcome was different
Why would you pop old Gustavus in the nugget? Wouldn't it be far more advantageous to capture an actual KING???🤔
Me before Lutzen: Ah Sweden all the way
Me after Lutzen: “Sobs”
@@tylerb9877 What?
@@tylerb9877 How did you go from a dumb joke about history to questioning science?
@@CivilWarWeekByWeek questioning science is the essence of science but this dude is just a troll
@@tylerb9877 idk you look like baiting earlier.. maybe that why..
@@tylerb9877 While the questions on the theory of evolution is great and all. My question is why do it on a joke from a video about a battle in the thirty years war.
I just love the sound used when an army is destroyed.
Thats the sound of death
Both regiments and armies. It's so... satisfying...
How about armies/regiments on both sides, Filip?
KLIRR , like a broken vase
Like glass is shattered.I too love the sound
To this day, we have a saying in Sweden that goes: "The fog is denser than at Lutzen!" to describe an especially foggy day.
Yes because apparently he got separated from his troops in the fog and killed.
Much respect to sweds they lost their king yet they still fight on and won the bettle
Yeah, you almost never see that happen. Much respect to the Soldiers and leaders.

Finnish badasses in there as well. They breed tough around here.
@Cogniarius There seems to be a lot of idolizing of Adolphus tbh. I think it has a lot to do with older English speaking sources being largely biased (very anti-catholic) and thus making him appear to be unfallable. Frankly even many of 'his' innovations were borrowed from the French Huguenots (cavalry) and Dutch (infantry).
@@seanbeahn6895 True. The English Puritans of the time viewed GA as a kind of Protestant Saint.

You don't have to be swedish to understand his greatness : "I was the king of Sweden "
Flawless statement and worthy of his accomplishments.
Poor soldier was basicalyl forced to kill him, imagine after that speech he saved him instead, that would have been terribly akward.
He was the dollar store Tilly.
Damn imagine having that kind of power over a kings life ..''Who are you ?'' ''I WAS THE KING OF SWEDEN''....bang.
I think usually you would capture him for ransom, the soldiers either must have had a personal grudge against the dude or they realized that his death was more useful to his cause then the ransom / the risk of him being freed.
@@franzferdinand2389 The Catholic army was not doing well at that point, and the protestants still had 2 commanders in the field. He could have been captured, but I think the currassier thought it would be impossible to keep him, as every man possible was needed to fight off the swedes, not guard the king.
Gustavus was too much of a threat to be kept alive, and if captured, would have been freed, and motivated the troops to fight even harder, to rescue their king.
Such a badass soldier
@Ricky RAZZAQUE I just imagine another Soldier yelling: "This is not the way of the Christians!"
@Henryk Gödel That's nice quote. Where's it from?
First foreign incursion: Denmark. HRE manages to peace them out. Whew!
Second foreign incursion: Sweden. HRE is having serious trouble to remove them, but at least their great commander is dead. Whew!

HRE: Oh no.
Vector Strike Viva La Baguetta
@Cogniarius hre here is synonymous to Austria,
Actually if you think about it it is insane how many enemies the imperial army and the catholic league had to deal with one after another. Just imagine how euphoric you would be as a hardened soldier to hear that the Swedish king has died just to get informed that now the French are coming, after you already battled the Bohemians, the Danish, the Swedish and the German Protestants for the last 14 years. And the French are catholic even. I would feel betrayed.
He lived and died among his soldiers like a true warrior king!
If you think Gustavus Adolphus was a badass, look up Charles XII of Sweden, he was Gustavus on steorids - minus diplomatic skill, lets fight everybody at the same time (and almost succeed)
JR he also died among his soldiers. Sweden had two amazing Kings in their short time as a super power.
*Sabaton intensifies*
@@heronofalexandria91 Three actually, if you also count Charles X Gustav.
@@kirgan1000 well, he didn't have much of a choice. Russia, Denmark and Poland-Lithuania wanted to attack Sweden anyway, no amount of diplomacy would have prevented that.
That's a pretty badass line before he dies, "I was the king of Sweden"
Yep, he didn't hide, and knew exactly what was coming.
Swedish kings have a history of badassery, fighting where the battle is thickest, especially Charles XII.
-Charge the enemy!
-no our king was died
-hmm... CHARGE AGAIN!
And they won
The 30 year of war deserves 6 movies 3 hours long in a world class film making.
Hell yes, that would be epic!
And a total war game. Then again, luckily for us, wars were quite frequent in history.
@@Arcaryon Thirty Years Total War would be the dream
@@charleswinters9567 You just have me such a history boner, I just imagined Richelieu standing at the port looking at the fleet, if you don't know the painting, look it up, you will have a great time. These battles with a good engine, a good AI on modern consoles...
I mean, even before that conflict, you have the eighty years war between the Netherlands and Spain, so much good stuff to explore... But to be honest, I want them to get back on track before they move on to do all of that. And if they loose this market, someone else will hopefully step up their game and deliver us from games like Three Kingdoms and Troy who while certainly not bad, were far from the quality I had hoped the series would have by now and arguably some of the weakest titles in the series. Like, even thrones had animations. Remember those? Man, I just want another good historical total war... I have nothing against warhammer but you can still mod the historical titles to make good famtasy but they are just a much better foundation most of the time and the feeling of seeing history play out is unrivaled.
I could see a serie around Wallenstein's character for sure.

My hat's off, Kings and Generals, you really made my day!
huge "history nerd" not knowing about the thirty years war?
It was always about either cultural, political, religious angles. Never have I ever imagined that the fighting part itself was so amazingly interesting.
@@mogyesz9 If someone knew every war and battle that took place in Africa but knew nothing of the same in China, I wouldn't be an asshole to them about it when they express amazement at having something new to learn.
I took a course on the battle of Lützen and if I may, I'll add some things to the video:
We are not really sure how Gustavus Adolphus died, some versions (like the first french report of the battle) argue that Gustavus was indeed shot a first time by an imperial soldier (suspected at the time to be Pappenheim himself) and another by an imperial soldier while he was trying to get out of the melee. Nowadays, we still are pretty unsure, as it could also have been a random swedish soldier who shot the king in the middle of the gunpowder smoke.
Concerning the retreat of Wallenstein, he did receive some reinforcements (around 5000 men) near the end of the battle, wich could have allowed him to rout the swedish army. However, he convinced himself that a 15 000 strong army under the command of the elector of Saxony was coming to reinforce the swedes and allies and turn the tide of the battle. Do note that he was also himself nearly killed or captured during the very long battle, so it's pretty easy to understand how this idea went to his head.
Well, that explains Wallenstein's retreat, save the remains of his army and fight another day...
You didn't really add anything. Just a bunch of "could haves".
Well yeah, because we aren't actually sure how Gustavus Adolphus died. I would rather submit a number of hypothesis rather than say, "yeah that's exactly how he died". One of the first reports on Gustavus Adolphus death was that he was shot by Pappenheim himself. Like, working on the sources is the first thing you do when studying to become a historian. I added some precisions to the vid.
@@regalswede3667 You may also note that I *did* provide a precise explanation to Wallenstein's retreat, wich isn't explained much in the video.

Speaking of the intensity of the battle:
Even the supposedly callous and heartless Wallenstein was greatly shook by this battle, von Harrach, his nephew (in-law) and one his commanders was shot through the lower side of his neck and jaw and the bullet passed right through the back of his jaw, his neck, and came right out of the back of his neck. He was in such a bad state that after Wallenstein rushed to him and checked his state that Wallenstein told him to just quit the battle with honor right in the thick of it.
Maximilian and Wallenstein. Two commanders who put aside their personal rivalries for the common good of their cause. You don't see that too often in history. Admirable of them.
not much!! however Tilly and Maximillian who trusted each other ! Maximilian was sucpicious about Wallenstein but he needed him because he lost his best general (Von tilly )
The Lion of the North finally rest after fighting for His beloved kingdom. Rip Brave King
@پاسدار فرد Александр Well the Swedish Empire ended like 80 years after his death, so I wouldn't say he did it for his personal ends as Gustav II Adolf was the one who created the Empire.
@پاسدار فرد Александр Well I 'd say you need to read up. The Swedish Riksdag had support from the nobolity, clergy, peasentry, and the burgrers for joining the war. People knew what a catholic victory could mean. It could not be accepted. And it didn't happen. The power of Rome was forever broken.
@پاسدار فرد Александр Actually, you are wrong again. Not only did it get a lot of needed loot to Sweden, and increase the status of swedish military, it also brought philosophers and culture. Your "a bit later" is 1709 which is far later. Sorry, I'm a swede working as a teacher in history so, you'll gain no "heads up" here :)
Damn Swedes.
@پاسدار فرد Александр What happened to his kingdom after his death does not change the reason of his purpose of war.
The 30 years war is embodiment of "the series that seems like its over but theres still 6 episodes left"
Any chance you could put some kind of scale on your maps, I never know how far apart the armies are, is it a few hundred yards or a mile. Thanks in anticipation.
Great suggestion. Always thought the same, but never bothered commenting on it.
Another thing is that, although they added the "north arrow", I would prefer the battle maps to always be oriented northwards.
In a time of religion and war,
Legends tell the tale of a Lion!
This beast in the shape of a man,
With a dream to rule sea and land!
And all those who stand in his way
Die by God and victorious arms
With the righteous that follow him south
Once more, set ashore, for war
"Appalling savagery"
That sounds exactly like the Hulk

Great video, but you forgot to add why the swedes won Lutzen - the Duke and Knyphausen kept the King's death a secret from most of the army until after the battle.
Wallenstein is absolutely underrated
20:46 Has man gone insane...
19:14
yep, definitely gonna cry when I go to bed tonight
seriously though, he must've realized his wound were so serious that instead of attempting to survive, he went for some pretty fucking cool last words instead. respect
The generals of the Thirty Years' War are truly underrated. Adolphus, Johann of Tilly and Wallenstein are all probably some of the most brilliant military leaders in all history.
Don't forget Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, also known as Vicomte Turenne, or his contemporary, The Grand Conde Louis de Bourbon.
In all galaxies and dimensions.
@@georgenovak2395 Grand Conde was just insane lol, that man had his aggressiveness maxed out
@@anarrivingwingedhussar9692
Agreed, he was the opposite to the cautious, more calculating Turenne.
@@georgenovak2395 Still a very good general to be fair, just incredibly reckless ... which isn't always a bad thing. Rucroi in particular was an incredible victory that not many could've pulled off
Wallenstein vs. Gustavos makes me think of Lee vs. Grant for some reason....Pretty danged good job here. Nordlingen up next. And mr Cardinal Infante.
We need a TV show set in the 30 Years' War. It'd be a brutal but fascinating setting.
Hmmm, damn looking at the Total War Footage really makes me wish there was a good 30 years War mod for a more modern Total War game. :)
now its just arcade games that they make and shitty campaigns not even historical
The Thirty Years War represents the largest non-combative casualties of any modern age conflict, mostly due to widespread disease and large scale populational dislocations on both sides. It is regrettable that Gustavus Adolphus perished in 1632. By the way, for those who enjoy sci-fi alternate history, there is an outstanding large series called "Ring of Fire" by Eric Flint (the first volume of which being "1632")
Top 10 anime deaths
Germany in that time was a crazy place, it was basically a free for all battlefield with the majority of the population being mercenaries or dead.
Despite being called an empire, it was more like a patchwork of rival principalities constantly vying against one another rather than a centralized nation state.
Who cry when King Gustav die in combat? 😢😢😢😢😢😢🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

there is a mistake at 5:32 rain occurred in 1632 not 1623
Best series of this channel
Germany: last century was our worst
Austria: Hold my 17
u forgo the 19th too for Austria
Austria is integral to Germany's history and the only reason it did not become part of Germany (when it first united) was because it had its own empire and was too powerful.
Most of thé battles took place in Germany some part Lost 70 % of ppl !!! Old Germany could Say ""hold my Beer ''
@@DidierDidier-kc4nm
No, WW2 alone caused more deaths in Germany than the 30 Years War, but it was the biggest reason for future attempts to create a unified country to properly oppose all other nation states around the empire, so you could say that because of this war we get the second empire in the 1870s, which unified most of the german-speaking areas of Europe.
@@fischkopp1234 WW2 caused more deaths because of Germany's higher population in the 20th century. If you go for the proportion of victims, this war was deadlier. There were no German unification attempts before the time of Napoleon. You could say the Thirty Years War was the biggest catastrophe in German history before Hitler.
Walenstein is my favourite
Lutzen was a costly battle for the Swedes, including Gustavus Adolphus. Although they won the field, the Swedish cause wavered after the king was dead and the continuation of Swedish involvement appeared in doubt.
Anyone know that song that starts at 19:12?
Hey man, thanks for watching the video. It's The First Wave, by Jon Bjork. I like it too

Think it's part of the Swedish Civilizations 5 ost
According to one source, Bernhard had goaded his troops into battle with the rallying cry of "Swedes, they have killed the king." This drove his men into such a frenzy (remember that these were descendants of Vikings, after all), that later, Imperial troops were found to have been strangled.
HRE could afford losses, Sweden couldn't.
@پاسدار فرد Александр Truly a phyrric victory I think you'd agree.
My comment is short, but I had meant more there was a reason that HRE/Austro-Hungarian Empire remained a force into the late 1800s and Sweden didn't.
The Holy Roman Empire definitely couldn't afford losses at this stage of the war. This isn't Hearts of Iron 4, countries didn't run around with manpower pools. The Imperials lost a very large part of an experienced army, which was something they couldn't replace. If you look at the Swedish comeback later on at Wittstock and the Second Battle of Breitenfeld, one reason for their success was the lack of experienced Imperial troops.
@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa Not really Austrian doctrine was always quantity over quality. They had huge pool of troops to draw from. From Romania to Balkans, Hungary, modern day Chechoslovakia, Poland, Italy... They sacrificed their own men countless times as it was multi-etnhic empire but Austrians were leading and they didn't care about lives of non-Austrians. They would fire artillery into their own men if it meant they would kill more enemy soldiers. Austrian footmem had higher chance of dying from their own artillery than from the enemy guns. Only other nation that ever used similar tactics to my knowledge was Soviet Union during ww2.
@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa Only reason for example anybody showed up to defend Vienna in 1683 was because religion, money and that they all hated Ottomans more than Austrians. All together no people in Austrian empire liked being part of it. It was brutal empire. They drained all other provinces and put everything into Vienna and Austria. That's why even today Austria is one of the world's richest countries but every other nation that was part of it is poor.
@@abcdc197 This is categorically complete nonsense. Everything you said is wrong.

What a battle Lutzen was!!! The swedes were real warriors! Their king was dead but they stepped up with heart for a victory (Gustavus's wife kept his body, and later his heart, in the castle of Nyköping - wiki). In regards to Gustavus Adolphus one mistake, one misfortune and you can be killed/dead.
Ugh when gustaphus adolphus killed by crussiers I'm shocked and hold my tears. He was real lion and brave leader fought and died for his nation like sultan murad I in the battle of kosovo 1389. Deep Respect to him. During this time our ottoman sultans was sitting on his palace. I'm sorry ottomans didnt help protestants in that battle. The second siege of vienna in 1632 would be amazing pressure to catholic from south and gustav adolphus can easily remove germans in the north austria. Greetings from Turkey to swedes.
