Sabaton - Rorke's Drift (Music Video)

Музыка

In 1879, under the command of Lieutenant John Chard and Gonville Bromhead, a small company of British soldiers successfully defended the outpost at Rorke's Drift, a Swedish hospital and church, against an intense assault by almost 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive Zulu attacks came very close to defeating the tiny garrison but were ultimately repelled.
When the Zulu's neared the mission station, a large number of allied militiamen jumped over the makeshift fortification and ran away in horror.
Left behind were only 150 British soldiers and some colonial settlers (Boer, Swedes, Irishmen, one Swiss and a Scot). Many of them were also sick and wounded.
Zulu warriors on top of Oskarsberg mountain fired their old muskets and aimed at the defenders.
At one point, the Zulu's managed to break into the hospital. The sick and wounded soldiers inside had to barricade the doors and hack their way out through the walls, at the same time as the roof was on fire. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.
About 350 Zulu warriors were killed during the battle, with 500 wounded. The British on the other hand only lost 17 men, but the surviving soldiers all had some kind of injury.

    I actually own a massive meat cleaver that my great grandma used to kill a Zulu to protect her and her children. I'm from South-Africa and my great grandparents fought in the Anglo Zulu war. My great grandma was left alone with her two children on their farm while my great grandad fought in the war. Apparently three Zulus tried to raid the farm house and probably kill her and her children. So she armed herself with a meat cleaver, and when the first Zulu tried to climb through a window she furiously started hacking away at him. He managed to run away but died a few hundred yards from the house. She buried him the next day. The meat cleaver was passed down the family and is now mine, but up till a few years ago my mom still used it in the kitchen.

    It's not as impossible as it sounds. They had every advantage in terms of quality, literally the only advantage of the Zulu's was their numbers. The Zulus rushed line infantry head on, tripping and falling over their dead comrades only to fight well trained men with bayonets standing behind fortifications. All the men didn't fire all at once either, there were constant and concentrated volleys going right into a huge blob of Zulus. Each volley left a new ridge of corpses, making it difficult to just run in. I'm not saying it was not impressive work from the British, but similarily to the Battle of Thermopylae, it's easy to think it was more of a feat than it actually was.

    Although the Spartans didn't have the same issues the British did. They lucked into terrain (which they DID have the idea to use) & they also had gear that worked in their favor (armor well beyond what the Persians could easily work against & weapons that would go right through what the Persians where using for protection). Sure, it would take a good degree of athleticism to do this & some other traits that were handy for this type of fighting- but it wasn't like it gets made out to be. David & Goliath comes to mind- bringing that sling to the duel was like taking a .45 to a knife fight. Vikings, too. Sure, they worked out & were capable fighters- but it's a big guy swinging a weapon he could afford that happens to work well with some extra weight on top of the brawn.

    Thank you. That point about the gun & the knife is the truth- the one with the gun might not even have it chambered & ready to go. Honestly, I figure I'd rather have a blade (that I can access quickly) if I were within arm's reach. Dealing with some instigator that's in a car while I'm on the side of the road, not so much. People forget about the car, not just the person that's possibly got a gun pointed at the door ready to shoot through it. Makes a good case against gun restrictions & for a non-gun dueling tradition, in my opinion.

    The video footage here is from Zulu - and it's as good as the music. But wait - there's more. They did not get actors to play the parts of the Zulu. Instead, they went to the king of the Zulu and asked him if he could find 4000 men willing to play parts in a film about his tribe - and he was like... "Yeah, I guess - it looks like a good idea." These are genuine Zulu, with their own genuine spear and shield

    People put way too much emphasis on guns in the anglo-zulu war. Is a gun a better weapon than an iklwa? Yes, but when you're that badly outnumbered, a breach-loader isn't going to do you a whole lot of good before the Zulu close the gap. Especially considering that when the Zulu are properly structured they have the youngest and fittest sprinting up both flanks to start the melee as soon as possible, while the more experienced force advances up the middle, firing if they had guns as well.

Zulu tactics beat the Roman's, having younger, more agile soldiers form the horns of your army while the older more experienced form the center. The quicker ones outflank the main army while the more experienced ones clash in the middle, its quite effective. But outflanking gets thrown out the window when they know you are coming, know your tactics, and can kill you from a football field away. Not to mention that there were no "experienced", soldiers in the army that attacked rorkes drift. The army that attacked was the loins of the Zulu, basically the reserve army. It consisted wholly of fresh young Zulu soldiers with no battle experience. That's why they legit just sprint towards the brits with no tactics

    Zachary firestone at isandlwana the british didn't set up proper defenses as their limited recon had said it was a small zulu force (which turned out to be only one of the 4000 man horns) 2000 guns vs 4000 spears is in the british favour. so they didn't see a need to set up defenses or a proper supply network (if they had drawn up their lines right by their ammo many argue they would have repelled the attack. the zulus still lost 2500 men dead and another 2000 wounded, vs 1300 killed (the zulus killed all the british they captured) with 500 escaping at rockes drift the british only had 250 men (and the zulus had 4000) and so new they were in worse position and thus set up defenses. they killed 375 and captured another 500 wounded. while the british lost 17men and a further 15 wounded. the main british force (about 6000men) who were looking for the zulus heard of the main battle (isandlwana) and headed only to find all the dead bodies (which had also supposedly been defilled) and then rushed to rockes drift. this is one reason why the zulus didn't attack again as the main british force outnumbered them and had guns, and they would be cut off from retreat. we see the zulus left at 7am and the british army arrived at 8am. some sources claim the 500 wounded zulus were then burried alive with their dead as revenge for the defilled men lost the previous day. the other reason the zulus left was because they had dirrect orders not to attack rockes drift (as it was in british land) from the king, and almost 900 lost (plus more that could walk) is already a bad enough thing to have to explain. in total the british lost 1332 men (dead and wounded) and the zulus lost atleast 5400 men dead and wounded. so at neither battle did the zulus loose less soldiers then the british did, and the main british army was still alive and would come back (with afew reinforcements) and win every following battle with less then 100 men lost each battle.

    What blows my mind about this movie is that it was made in the 60's. It would have been so easy for the filmmakers to get away at the time with depicting the Zulu as really racist evil stereotypes that want to kill innocent white people. They didn't do that. Instead the filmmakers were extremely respectful to history and did not demonize other side. This movie is pretty much told an unbiased story of what actually happened and rightfully applauds the extreme courage of both sides.

    Fun fact: this war (that wasn’t even meant to happen) ended the House of Bonaparte (Napoleons royal descendants). Napoleon IV was exiled to England but trained as a soldier, and was able to volunteer for Britain in this war after heavy persuasion (the British obviously did not want to send France’s only possible heir to the throne out to war). He was killed in a skirmish by the Zulus. Can you imagine travelling back in time and telling Napoleon that his royal bloodline ended because 60 years after Waterloo his great grandson died courageously in war… on behalf of the British Army.

The men stationed at Isandlwana had no guards posted to warn of an attack and the ground itself was flat and open. Perfect for the zulus traditional tactic (the horns of the buffalo) to decimate the camp, plus it was the main zulu force counting beyond 10,000 warriors whilst only 1500 British soldiers were there On the other hand, Rorke's drift was a small encampment with proper buildings and ( while somewhat hastily thrown together) had a defensive wall that provided a good perimeter for the roughly 160 British troops to guards comfortably. A smaller force of zulu's numbering around 4000 attacked Rorke's drift but their preferred tactic didn't work because the british were behind a wall and could fire in all directions with ease

    Sheldon Cooper Good man. Just had to check; many do not know of it. Goes to show what a difference strategy and competent commanders make. I do find it rather irritating that the English have always immortalised Rorke's Drift but largely forget Isandlwana. I guess it is normal for any country to want to brag of their victories and not their losses. We are the same. I visit both battlefields often. Amazing part of my country's history. You'd be surprised at how plain the land is. If you didn't know the history, you'd think nothing ever happened there. I guess the same holds true for any battlefield visited today. If you haven't before, go check out Zulu Dawn (1979). Great film and largely forgotten. Probably because of the reasons I outlined.

Then there's the Siege of Eshowe, a rather boring skirmish, but reading about the British and Zulu plans and preparations to one up the other was intense. There's also the Battle of Gingindlovu which showed showed how superior the british were and how one sided the war really was when they weren't fooling around like the last time. These three battles would be great sequels for a Zulu movie series.

The journalist and cameraman are trapped in a civilian house surrounded by IS fighters, and its just incredible how resilient the army was, one soldiers hopped in after getting shot in the foot, bandaged it himself, and hopped back out because their numbers were insufficient. War brings out the worst in humans, but it also brings out some incredible courage at times.

Also im 100% sure you are 10 because nobody talked ban about the spartans. Thats a shame of you. And also there were only 4500k zulus. Thats nothing compared to the persians.

    Rorke's drift is an odd one because it is probably one of the greatest battles in British history, but it comes after arguably the worst defeat in British history. Still, both make for great films.

    @@M_W_L_F you know they were both “invaders” right? South Africa was a British colony and the Zulus were not part of it. I feel like you’re confusing them for rebels or the boers? In fact the British were technically the defenders in this war

    Arguably is an understatement. Islandwana is seen by most historians as the worst defeat ever suffered by a technologicaly superior force against a technologicaly inferior enemy.
