@ The Void Looks Pretty The reason Adolf's war was called Blitzkrieg was because of the "wunder drug" the medical company Bayer invented in the early 1930's. Bayer scientist invented amphetamine and meth amphetamine, under the codename "blitz". Adolf knew about this "wunder drug" and before the 200k tank soldiers invaded France inn less then 2 weeks, he gave them over 35 000 000 doses for the operation. Stupid as Churchill was he said it would take Adolf's army over 6 months, but he ignored the effects of amphetamine and methamphetamine. Churchill didn't think it was possible to drive a tank for 2 weeks straight without stopping. The fact shows, it's easy. America and the west didn't win ww2. The only one who won the war of ww2 was and still is Bayer... Still pushing their stim on children under the codename "Ritalin" Many soldiers world wide and all of the world's active fighter pilots take some form or variation of Blitz or Ritalin or Stim, name it what you want, they all still use this "wunder drug". I can't believe people let Bayer keep winning... Hitler was just a junkie puppet. Somebody to take the fall and cover for their "live testing on human kind".

"Hey Arminius, tell us again stories about the Romans." "Ok. There's this famous Roman guy named Julius Caesar..." "Tell us more!" "Well, he was stabbed to death by other Romans for being too ambitious..."

@@superspies32 It was a humiliation of the empire. Roman viewed themself as masters of the universe surrounded by barbarians. And when they lost a standard it was a HUGE blow to their pride. So recovering the standards was a big deal.

Here a passage of Tacitus on the discovery of the battlefield by the legions of Germanicus, 5 years after Teutoburg. "Then the army advanced to the last limits of the Bructeri, and everything was ravaged between Ems and Lippe, not far from the forest of Teutoburg, where, it was said, lay without burial the remains of Varus and its legions. Caesar felt the desire to render the last honors to the chief and the soldiers; and all the warriors present were seized with a painful emotion as they thought of their loved ones, their friends, the chances of war and the fate of humans. Cécina is sent forward to probe the depths of the forest, and build bridges or causeways on swamps and deceptively solid grounds; then we enter these places full of sinister images and lugubrious memories. The first camp of Varus, with its vast enclosure, the dimensions of its place of arms, announced the work of three legions. Farther on, a half-ruined entrenchment, a shallow ditch, indicated the place where their feeble debris had gathered. In the middle of the plain, whitened bones; scattered or piled up, according to whether one had fled or fought, littered the earth jumbled up with the limbs of horses and broken weapons. Human heads hung from the trunks of trees; and in the neighboring woods one saw the barbarian altars where the tribunes and the principal centurions were immolated. A few soldiers who had escaped this carnage or who had since broken their chains, pointed to the place where the lieutenants perished, where the eagles were carried off. "Here Varus received a first wound; there his unhappy arm, turned against himself, delivered him from life." They said "on what tribunal Arminius harangued his army, how many gallows he raised, had pits dug for the prisoners; by what insults his pride outraged the Roman signs and eagles." Tacitus, Annals, LX-LXI.

True Barbarians is decently historically accurate. Like its as accurate is a film can get without having the entire production from the director, to the cast, to the set designers and costume designers all being historians themselves. It’s definitely refreshing and a step in the right direction. I’m sure us huge fans of history can tell you, there is so much history out there that doesn’t need to be romanticized, dramatized too much, or over fantasized. There are plenty historical accounts that are deserving of well produced shows.

A Barbaric Prince turned Roman citizen, that didn't forgot his roots; an apparatus of Roman administration to whom was given the command of a vast new province, acting foolishly due to their blinding pride; the absolute disaster where three full legions were obliterated, even after Germanic chieftans loyal to Rome had warn Varus of what was waiting them; the shock of Augustus himself when given the dark news ( _Quintili_ _Vare, _legiones_ _redde_ !); the loss of a province that forever divided the region - even after unified by Charlemagne centuries ahead; the brutal payback leaded by Germanicus, and the retrieval of the Legions' Eagles, safely guarded in the new temple of Mars Ultor in Rome... Trully a landmark in Human History.

Germanicus can easily be made into a new protagonist, one out to avenge his fellow ROmans. The easiest emotionnal way to tie this together is to use the eagles as symbols of friends he "had" within the legions and the equites that were exterminated. Play it with flashbacks during quiet scenes to build up his relationship, including with Arminius who could be played as a military school friend (I know schola militarum was only invented a few centuries later).

I hope there is a season 2, this show was so great.

Fantastic video as always, i hope we'll soon be able to see a video about that Great Illyrian Revolt, cause there isn't much about it to be found on youtube, although Suetonius calls it "the greatest threat since Hanibal".

After watching Barbarians, I was exactly looking for something like this. Thank you!

Great video as well. Proud of Netflix for actually releasing Barbarians, the show was done very well. Enjoyed it a lot watched the whole thing in one day.

Yey! I came here after watching Barbarians. Excellent show. It got me interested, and I immediately searched for its historical background.

Do an episode on Rome's Dacian wars and Decebalus, the Dacian king hero. To this day, there are more statues of Dacian warriors in Rome than there are of any other foe to the empire, which shows how much respect the Romans paid to these people north of the Danube.

Even more remarkable is what happened afterwards. Dacia is still called Romania and speaks the only Romance language in the region, and people are proud of the Roman connection. Who else adopted their conquerors like this?

Too nice historic video with clear explaining of events and behind facts which producing these events

Ok, so I just got through two episodes of Barbarians and am now on the third. Watching it with subtitles and really liking it so far. For one thing, being half-italian it's really nice seeing romans as the ''bad guys'' for a change. I think the show does a really good job of showing the difficulties and the trauma a tribal society must have felt when coming up against the roman juggernaut. I also really like the character of Arminius, they do a good job of showing him as caught between two cultures. I thought the pacing was really good too, the way tensions slowly escalate between the two sides is well done. As a history student and dabbler in anthropology I particularly liked the fact they show the clash between the roman and the germanic concept of Law, since it would play such a large part in forming what would later become the european kingdoms and eventually nations. It hasn't got the same feel to it as the HBO series 'Rome', but in my opinion it doesn't need to. Rome was totally fixated on roman politics, life and culture. With Barbarians they focus a lot more on this violent clash between the roman world and the non-roman world and so far I think they do a good job of it, particularly since most of what we actually know about the Germans of the time is through roman and archeological sources. It also doesn't go full on into dick-swinging ubermensch Vikings mode, which is appreciated. Pretty good story too so far. 8+/10, would see a second season. Maybe one focusing on the changes that happened when the Germans got the upper hand and took over the Empire.

This. This right here is the quality shit I love you guys for. Seriously job well done. Glad to see Netflix putting out good ancient history stuff like Barbarians. A decent peace offering after the Cuties debacle.

Great video! I'm actually enjoying this Netflix show. I hope they keep producing historical shows. Cheers, from Brazil!

I wonder when you're gonna do a video on Hannibal and the 2nd Punic war. Thanks for making such great content, it has been wonderful watching this channel grow over the years. Truly one of my favorite history channels on youtube.

Cant deny this was one of the best planned and executed ambushes in history but I think the proceeding results of it were quite exaggerated. Arminius couldn't stop the Romans when they came back and the empire survive for centuries after. Totally ironic that Arminius went out like Caesar.

Although I loved Barbarians in Netflix, your series and videos are way cooler K&G. Keep up the good work.

18:27 oh my god. Segestes looks exactly the same from the show

Arminius did more damage to the roman nation than most people understand, the province of magna germania was a vital buffer zone between the barbarians and the roman heartland in Gallia, having lost it and having set the border on the Rhine itself was the main reason of all the problems with barbarian raids in the centuries to come. That's why Augustus was so desperate he almost died of anxiety.

Very well done. You should consider doing a video on Germanicus at some point. He was a great general who is often overlooked by historians. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

I love your style and map art fo this video.

Vetera, the Roman main base of operations at the time, has actually been excavated and reconstructed in Northwest Germany, next to the small town of Xanten. It hosts a large museum absolutely worth the visit, if you ever are in the region by chance.

Informative as ever Devin! Notably, Armenius makes an appearance in total war arena, where he's really fast and fun!

Awesome ! TY! Very informative

I'm obsessed with Arminius. Im glad his victory lived on and his name is still rememberedi 1000s of years later. I wish we knew more about him, like his personality and his love interests and his childhood. It would be nice to hear more about him personally. Either way he loved his ppls and he was so brave. Too bad they turned against him. He fought so hard to gain the trust and love of his original ppls, just for them to assassinate him. : ( He was a true leader and could have possibly brought his ppls all together. But nah they were all too damn stubborn.

Arminius a badass like Spartacus that dare to punch an Empire

Excellent! Thanks guys!

Awesome episode! Hopefully you’ll do one about Theodoric the great and even Odoacer as they both pretty much ruled as Roman style leaders after the fall and maintained much of Roman culture. One arguably at his peak had the power of a Roman emperor.

Honestly, if I were someone who knew Arminius, I would always sleep with one eye open.

A shame that the battle did not get more attention. It lastes for days, with even more cunning tricks. I guess you guys dont want to spoil it for the netflix viewers

This channel just keeps Giving us quality content 🙌❤️

Excellent documentary as always just excellent!

Great video about German hero Arminius! Well done! Would be good to create a video about his great adversary, brilliant general Germanicus!

I wonder how different history would've been had Arminius not betrayed Rome. Or had Segestes been believed by Varus when the former denounced Arminius. Or if Varus had just been wise to the whole situation in Germania to begin with. I wonder what could've been. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.

I think Rome still would have withdrawn from Germania. The region was just too underdeveloped and costly to garrison a large army, so history would probably play out just the same accept the Romans never had a need to replace the legions they lost in Germania over the next decades.
