    32:40 This is the reason my great(x3)-grandfather, who was a prestigious Wachtmeister in Germany (so he had the financial resources many did not), took his pregnant wife and several kids to America, which he described in documents "I didn't want my sons to fight and die in the non-stop wars in Europe". He unfortunately arrived here just in time for them to be caught up in the Civil War.

Hearing the perspective of those on the ground really brings the story to life. This is history, but also the lives of real people. It may be morbid but it is completely fascinating.

    It's kinda morbid but most people who are interested in war aren't particularly warlike,, but feel a nagging fascination with it because as Patton said,, "All other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance when compared to war"... Or as another more cynical author said,, war is "a creature whose vastness alone made it sacred to man",, but my point is that many average people seem soothed by war history because they're safely detached but feel an empathy or sympathy that's paradoxically comforting...

    Quotes and first hand accounts really bring it to life. It's not just words on a page anymore, these people experienced the most horrendous events man can create and they share their experiences or feelings with us. It's not just about glorious tactics and massive personalities. The common soldier had lives with problems not so different than our own. I think it's important to look at it this way. War should be avoided at all costs. Too many people today look at the war too fondly, sure it's interesting but it should also teach us an important lesson in why we should avoid war at all costs. Imagine how it would have been to clean up a battlefield. So many dead people with horrific wounds. The smell would be beyond description. Doctors treating casualties with primitive equipment or just amputating limbs. The sounds of men screaming or praying would scar you forever. I see why many would rather avoid describing it as it's very uncomfortable to think about but is necessary.

    Excellent work, I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack, as it is what every ambient music must aspire to: add something to the production, and never get in the way of the communicators voice and the audience. Always on point. Congrats 🎉

As I may point out, The Revolutionary Wars started in 1792, so there are many campaigns to cover in the future :) If Napoleon had watched this documentary, he would probably say: What a great series, what a great series!
