Prussia is a weird state to talk about, because its best known leader basically led the state to near ruin, as you said. It was really Friedrich Wilhelm I who started the "army with a state," with his schools in garrisons and "Gehorsam und Treue" priests, and then Prussia aggressively remilitarized its society after Napoleon basically traumatized the entire nation, which is where the phrase became unsettlingly true as Prussia started making plans to basically create its own version of the attempted Swedish Empire which Prussia had, somewhat ironically, helped instead destroy.

I also think Friedrich II. is overglorified. On the one hand he set the foundation for prussian dominion over Germany but he nearly lost and destroyed his whole country. Every war gets decided by a bit of luck, but Friedrich the Great really had a whole lot of luck. And sadly for the people whose lives were ruined by his expansionism, he mostly got and still is getting praised, because in the end he won. So as a Prussian myself I can´t really decide, if I think he was great or terrible. Maybe he should just be called Friedrich the lucky.

Not all of them, but most of them do considering we refer to these figures as "the Great". As to what your comment on the misery induced by F-t-G's expansionism- I'm not really sure it can be called expansionism at all really. He realized quite early that Prussia was in an hostile environment, surrounded by neighbors that consistently wished to partition her as soon as Prussia showed its capability to its neighbors.

Prussia was almost annihilated during the SYW. Hell, Frederick nearly killed himself after the disaster at Kunersdorf. Out of 50-60k men the day of the battle, less than 10k returned to the colors a week later. And as you said, Prussia's lack of success in the early Napoleonic Wars is due to resting on unearned laurels and seriously outmoded tactics.

The problem was after Frederick's passing the Prussians kept Fredericks ways of doing things and treated them like the Ten Commandments. They kept doing the "same-old, same-old" and essentially drilled themselves stale. Warfare began changing with the War of the French Revolution and into the Napoleonic Wars and Prussia didn't change with it. And in the end they got their butts kicked. However, when Napoleon visited Frederick's tomb after taking Prussia (Frederick must have been turning over at about 1,500 RPM!) he famously said "Gentlemen if HE were still alive we wouldn't be standing here!" Boney knew Frederick would have learned and changed with the times even if his army didn't. A neat story. As Napoleon was leaving Frederick's tomb one of his generals pointed to Fredericks sword which was laying on top of the coffin and asked "Majesty, aren't you going to take it as a souvenir?" Napoleon smiled and said "No need. I've got my own."

As someone who did his senior thesis on Frederick the Great and big into Prussian and German military history I’m very happy and grateful. I’m actually reading a book on the Prussian army called “Prussian Army Soldiers and the Seven Years’ War: The Psychology of Honor” by Katrin Möbius and Sascha Möbius. It looks into the real Prussian soldier and helps us understand that these men were indeed human and how they actually operated. If your also interested in Frederick the Great, I also love reading The Kings Love: Frederick the Great: His Gentle Dogs and Other Passions, which looks into his more personal life and helps us better understand him as a full blooded human being and not this stoic Olympian monarch. It was written by Sibylle and Frederick William, both who are direct descendants of the great king. Anyways thank you so much, really appreciate what you do.

I'd always note the key to any efficient system was that most hated but vital of things, that being a sophisticated bureaucracy to manage and administrate. The Prussian conscription system was great to maintain a relatively large and pre-trained army. Issue for Prussia is that everyone else had more money and more men, and in reality it didn't take long for them to become sufficiently as capable.

Ausgezeigtnet meine junge! Well done! I couldn't miss the mention of Colonel Dundas. Dundas was with Lord Cornwallis during his visit to Prussia after the American Revolution. Cornwallis wasn't impressed with the Prussian's maneuvering's on the field saying "He'd have been hooted off the field if he tried that in America!" Dundas however went ga-ga over the Prussian way of doing things and dashed off his book as soon as he got home. However seeing this we can understand Baron von Steuben's frustrations with the Continental Congress and colonial governments when he came over here during the Revolution. In Prussia when the state went to war EVERYTHING in the country went to the support of the army, especially since it meant natonal survival. The Americans just couldn't seem to get that and it drove Steuben crazy!

Recruiting in a neighbouring country always was difficult. Normaly the emperor wrote to the minor powers in the HRRDN that it is forbidden to allow recruitment of foreign powers. The recruiting officers had to ask for a permission to recruit in the district of a local administration for example in the city hall. But suspecting that permission would be unlikely many did recruitment without it (we have to keep in mind that local powers had recruit in their own territory too and wanted to prevent good subjects from leaving the country). I have written a lot about the subject on our blog.

Can you talk about the fallout of France after napoleon, and the societal division in French life as a whole, and the whole recovery process? A suggestion I would make for future videos is including a time frame, or a date per-say over specific events, while yes most of the video revolves around the early adoption and use of the military under Fredrick the great, dates would be a great way to understand the timeframe when these events transpired.

tbh, from my experience of playing as Prussia, in eu4, will also make you face the same issues Fritz had during and after a war with a major power. These problems include the lack of manpower to replace casualties, lack of economy to support the large army, and almost leading to the same result of the country focusing more on economy by removing militarization, as the militarization mechanic prevents you from having a proper economic base. Though, this experience might only apply to a more casual player, as a more experienced player can get around these drawbacks.

Historical publishing, and it's impact on history, cannot be overstated. After all, we named half of the planet after a man who never discovered a single thing, he merely tagged along on other peoples voyages, but upon returning, widely published fantastic tales of deeds he never performed, and received all the credit others were due.

Super interesting, and very timely for some research I'm doing. I'm interested to know whether it might have been, as you suggest, the appearance of Prussian blue uniforms in the populace (as everyday-wear), as well as these supremely complicated drills, requiring a special kind of dedication in those being drilled, that, in combination, not only gave rise to the appearance of Prussian militarism to the European observers, but also an inherent martial mindset to much of the (at least male portion) of the populace. Redouble that with the inherent hierarchism of Protestantism on the German side, and voila, a militant populace.

I was war gaming one night I had command of the Prussian Landwehr. Being attacked by French line I rolled 12 and wiped out the regiment. I took losses but didn't demoralize. The rules were revised after that so Landwehr weren't able to do that on one role. Thanks Brandon always interesting.
