LKVideos Thanks!

This Danish movie is pretty + good honest What people dont realize the Danish Army was actually slightly bigger than Prussia's at the time and on top of this Denmark had a real Navy, which Prussia mostly lacked. At the time Denmark was considered one of the preeminent military powers of Northern Europe. And they (thought) they had England as an ally and so that it would all be a cakewalk. So they recklessly provoked a war with Pussia by breaking the Schleswig treaty ( which stipulated they could not abuse the german population of that province and forced them to not speak german etc) and sent provocative missives to the Prussia King. But the Prussians had made quite a few improvements to the firepower of thier Army and the effectiveness of theirs leadership, so they were quite confident and did not mind a Danish attack at all since they ere eager to use their expensive military to improve their standing in Europe and among the german states. Also, as the Prussians expected, England abandoned the Danes, since they were the ones who broke the treaty and on top of that the Austrians sent generous help to the Prussians. The Danish movie is quite honest about all these things. Ultimately the war was decided by Prussian artillery which was quite superior and so more than made up that Denmark's military was slightly larger. Prussian and Austrian "Special Forces" (for the time) the Deaths head Hussars also contributed out of proportion to their numbers. On top of that the Prussians had the better generalship and staffs and so in the end it was a crushing defeat for the Danes. Denmark would never again be considered a powerful country in Europe.

The Danish military did want to build fortifications by our border towards germany but they were not allowed. Our politicians were afraid that Hitler would see it as an aggression and use it as a reason to attack us (Which he ended up doing anyways). Besides why would we anger the germans by fighting to send the rest of our troops to norway? That does not make any strategical sense. If we were to fight in norway we should have put the whole army up there before an invasion so germany wouldnt bomb the whole of denmark. The most logical thing to do had we chosen to stay and hold our grounds. We should have build trenches and bunkers along the whole border and fortify our biggest harbors incase of a naval invasion. Recruit more soldiers leading up to (We barely had an army at the time, again because we feared hitler would see it as an aggression). After this we should have had plans with the british and norwegians and hopefully sweden to heelp us defend and push into germany from the danish border which down the line could have shortened the whole war since were as close to berlin as we are. Hitler expected the naval invasion from america and britain to arrive in Jutland (Danish west coast) and ended up fortifying the whole coast, and we could have beaten him to it with the allies assistance, 50k or so troops pushing down from jutland could have made a world of difference

The British did nothing to help the Pole when the Germans invaded Poland despite England and Poland having a Self-Defense Treaty where the British would fight along with the Poles but chose to do nothing at all. The British used Poland as bait for Hitler to declare war on Poland since Hitler sent multiple treaties to the Polish official to give up Port city of Danzig to Germany so Germany can unite with East Prussia since in East Prussia spoke German but the British Government was telling the Polish officials to reject anything Hitler was offering to them. The British didnt care if they get in time to support there allies or not since it wasnt effecting them then after WW2 Eastern Europe and Poland was given to Stalin by USA and England.

Intet i den film er historisk rigtigt. End ikke datoerne. Der er så mange fejl, at man ikke kan tælle dem. Ren historie forfalskning. Stormen på Dybbøl så slet ikke sådan ud, hverken fra dansk eller preussisk side. Preussernes storm var i ordnet storm kolonner. 8 brigades modangreb var også i begyndelsen i ordnet formation. Kun premiereløjtnant Redsted og Kaptain Knauer's kompagnier nåed op til møllen. Her faldt Knauer på gårdspladsen og Redsted blev hårdt såret ved det østlige vindue i møllerhuset. På landevejen ved siden af huset befandt Dinesen sig med et halvt kompagni men måtte hurtigt trække sig tilbage ned af landevejen imod Sønderborg. Af 1ste kompagni oprindelige 132 mand, overlevede kun en håndfuld, deriblandt Dinesen. Dinesen bliver fremstillet som en "Rambo" der hugger hussarer ned og var udødelig ... Ren nonsens der findes ikke et eneste bevis for at Dinesen nogen sinde slog nogen ihjel, ved egen hånd !Oberst Max Müller er pludselig blevet chef for 8 Brigade selvom han befandt sig nede i Sønderborg, for hvilken han havde ansvaret af forsvaret for. Oberst Scharffenberg den rigtige chef for 8 brigade, som gav ordren til at rykke frem, er end ikke med i filmen. Major Ernst Schau sad ikke på en hest og blevet ikke spiddet til døde af preussiske bajonetter. Han blev ramt i lårbenet og hårdt såret, døde efter nogle dage på et lazaret i Flensborg. Der var så vidt jeg ved, ikke en officer til hest, på banken den 18 april 1864.General Du Plat døde af en kugle i tindingen, affyret af skarpskytter som stop oppe ved møllen, han var udpeget som mål, af en officer der kunne se de 3 danske officer nede på landevejen i sin kikkert. De 2 andre officerer var major Rosen og major Schau. Major Rosen blev efterfølgende ramt i brystet da han og Dinesen med en håndfuld af sine soldater forsøgte at bære liget af du Plat ned til Sønderborg. Kun Dinesen undslap med nogle få mænd og de måtte opgive at få Du Plat med. Major Rosen døde i preussisk fangenskab, om aftenen på Nybøl lazaret liggende ved siden af major Schau.Konseilspræsident Monrad var ikke sindssyg men var splittet i sin dybe religiøsitet. Og han havde ikke noget forhold til Fru Heiberg. De mødtes aldrig nogensinde. Heiberg skrev et brev til Monrad om nationalitets ånden, og Monrad besvarede det høfligt men overfladisk.Og sådan kunne jeg blive ved længe endnu. At tillægge denne film nogen relevans historisk er en kæmpe fejltagelse. Filmen er en katastrofe fra start til slut og har ikke noget som helst med det der skete at gøre. Det er Hollywood fiktion og en hån imod dem der kæmpede der.

Truth is we we were profoundly beaten.

Too bad the director of the movie had to make it some weird fan-fic, with the Danes abusing gypsies for fun, two brothers from a conservative upbringing deciding to share a GF, jedi mind tricks and outright magic later in the series, not to mention the poor little Prussian soldiers who never wanted war and only wanted to read Karl Marx and preach peace and harmony (except for the hussars I guess). This had the budget, the know-how (several prominent Danish historians helped out) and outright manpower (tons of volunteers, reenachment groups, extras, etc.) to be absolutely fantastic... But then after the final episodes, everyone goes: What the actual fuck!? (Who didn't already) and the director just says "I wanted to do my own take on the events" Dude, you were fucking hired by national TV to make a historical TV-series about one of the most well-known battles in Danish history! Fuck me man, it still annoys me endlessly, especially because you can see so many sparks of greatness throughout, that are just destroyed later or diminished because of what came before.
