Fridericus Rex (Old version)(English Subtitle)

[LordPercyTrollington]

Haha, 'the swedish have extremely bad fields.' Do they mean sweden is unfertile land?

[MarkramUK]

@LordPercyTrollington Field = battlefield. Saying they had bad fields was basically saying they were weak.

[lupuscaesaris]

Excellent!

[justinvolzhsky]

Sagen Sie nicht Lügen, Gans-Wurst! Schlagen Sie Russen Ihre Friedrich, so dass die Federn fliegen! Von Kunersdorfa floh seinen Hut zu verlieren. Und es nicht für den Verrat von Kaiser Peter III gewesen, Preußen war russischer vor 1945!

[Anullu22]

@justinvolzhsky

This was your own fault, if russians and austrians were to stupid to marsch on berlin....

And at the end, the prussian toughness, which was admired by peter III, was victorious.

[chica476]

@Anullu22

Peter the great was a flamboyant and tyrannical homosexual.

[Anullu22]

@chica476

Yes sure, but does it change the facts?

[chica476]

@Anullu22

concerning his invasian of Prussia? or that Prussia fought and beat back the russians? No, not at all.

[Anullu22]

@chica476

Well, simply said: Mainly beacuse of the indecision of the austrians and Russians and the perseverance of the Prussians, Prussia was able to prevail as the fifth major European power.

[64orpheus]

Many of the scenes are not about the Kaiser Frederik, but to war Sweeden-Russia

[DeutschenVaterland]

@64orpheus See the new version of this video. I have made the changes

[64orpheus]

@DeutschenVaterland Thank you, I will see the new version. Anyway this video is very good

[puelladeluxe]

@64orpheus he wasn't Kaiser, he was king of prussia, the german empire didn't exist until 1871

[chica476]

@64orpheus

Koenig Friedrich, NICHT KAISER!

[Tobias95h]

warum is der sound vom schwarz-weis film im hintergrund?

[erracht]

Sehr lustig!

[InRaBO]

Wie heißt der Film????

[rohan6612]

sir what from what movies are the scenes used

[shaneu1]

I note that Czarina Elizabeth makes a brief appearance in the video. In the familiar historical description, she had the courtesy to croak at just the right moment for Friedrich der Grosse. As students of the Third Reich period will recall, Dr. Goebbels more or less convinced AH that Roosevelt's passage was a providential repeat of Friedrich's good luck. Contrary to the age-old canard, history does not repeat itself.

[bobularbob]

Finally some good German military tradition without all that Nazi garbage

[szolnok95]

@bobularbob you can say 1 sentence with out BRAINWASHED words?

[Marcuspirx87]

Hi!

Congratulations! I enjoyed this video so much.

In 1:08 to 1:24 there are clips from, atl least, one movie. I would like to know what movie is it.

Thanks!

[Seimour01]

@Marcuspirx87 This movie is called the sovereign servant which came out in 2007. It`s about the great northern war(1700-21) though I must say it`s told from an extremely biaised russian point of view very much like 1608. The battles are okay but completely historically inaccurate. Also the movie is in russian with some french and swedish though both are spoken rather poorly. It`s not a bad movie mind you but it feels like someone is ramming a russian flag down your throat.

[shaneu1]

@Seimour01 The video is quite misleading if the videographers use footage from a 2007 film depicting "The Great Northern War." Obviously, both the video and the accompanying march refer to The Seven Years War. "The Great Northern War" between Russia and Sweden ended about forty years before the period depicted here. Among the clips used in this video are two fleeting glimpses of Ryan O'Neal in Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon." Barry, of course, serves in the English army during the Seven Years War.

Alles gute alter Fritz ! Zum 300 Geburtstag .

[Kalle161177]

[voramus]

[8Schneeweiss8]

Alles gute zum 300. Alter Fritz! Heil dir

[MegaWeike]

Okay, why is there chinese?

[SlavicWolfPL]

"Prussians don't change sides" ? Buahahaha! Once more. When we, Poles, were fighting Russians in Constitution War in 1792, Prussia was our ally, but at their order generalmajor Von Württemberg surrender whole Lithuanian army to Russians, and later at least joined to war... on the Russian side.

[STUFFZ93]

@SlavicWolfPL It is meant that the prussian soldiers never desert.

[wisbetwilsion]

I love the Chinese subtitle, it helped a lot.

[IR28vonBorcke]

wenn die heutige Bedeutung von "brav" "lieb" und "artig" ist, so war sie im ursprünglichen Sinne durchaus diesselbe wie des englischen "brave", also "tapfer".

[Laneperk1]

can someone tell me what movies these are from

[F4Wildcat]

Can somebody tell me the exact name of the movie portrayed in this Video?

[expertstrategy]

@F4Wildcat, I think it's from the "Barry Lyndon" film.

[LionelHutz100]

@expertstrategy Yes, it is.

[Zandrasin]

Huuuraaa Huuuraa Huuraaa!!!!!!!!!

[skrewster]

@0IdiAmin0

I'm Swedish, but I don't dislike. :(

[CSAmerican]

French + Prussia? does not compute

[joekidd1992]

I don't think the Austrians held any better. Was that Ryan O'Neal in one shot?

[DiVeronica]

how does "Potz, Mohren, Blitz und Kreuz element" translate to "with god, like the thunders and lightnings?"

[Gruenkreuz100]

@DiVeronica Potz Blitz can not be translatet accuratly because it's an adage.

[fanamili83]

@DeutschenVaterland

Thanks to their uniforms and their standard, we can identify the soldiers flying between 3:04 and 3:22 as French, unfortunately for me. Where does the scene come from exactly ? From "Die Deutche (...)" ?

[Gettaray]

i think it's a great song with a bad english translation..

[ErdnussTempler]

Das habe ich im Geschichtsunterricht vorgesungen XD

[Richthofen100]

1:24 King Carolus Rex

[1mischka]

[deja2056]

what is this movie about the preussen koenig? war has become ever less glorious and ever more ignoble over 1000s of years to the point it is revolting to humanity.

[SidneyBroadshead]

@deja2056 It is from propaganda films made by the Nazis during WW2. Hitler identified with Frederick II of Prussia and financed historical epics (like Der Choral von Leuthen; Fridericus; Der Große König, etc.). There was even an unfinished movie made in 1944 that used up manpower and supplies even as Germany was being bled white in Russia and France. Actor Otto Gebuhr made a career playing Frederick The Great in them.

[Vampirewolfking]

"The Swedish they have extremely bad fields" What does that mean?

[DeutschenVaterland]

@Vampirewolfking The world "field" means battlefield, remember the movie "Patriot"? There is the British general and his subordinates conversation: "But my Lord you have taken the Field" "Now we should take their spirit, send the entire battalion over the hill and crash them, it ends today". Back to this extreme bad field, it means the Swedish army performs badly in the battlefield. I have PM you for the link to this movie "Patriot" part.

[Vampirewolfking]

@DeutschenVaterland This is early propaganda song? The Swedish "Carolean" army was regarded the be one of the best armys in the world, they were just too few.

[NordenHonor]

@DeutschenVaterland Kicked the germans asses atleast ;)

[SidneyBroadshead]

@DeutschenVaterland If you are German, you should know the difference between "Feld" (Field) and "Geld" (Gold). It lists the German lyrics under the English translations (which are very poor). "...haben verfluct schlechtes Geld" means "have damned bad money".

[MaLoDe1975]

@DeutschenVaterland

actually it says geld which means money. the swedes, they have damned bad money, who knows if the austrians hold better one

[xganger2]

@DeutschenVaterland sweden was the best in the field Germania forever =)

[pocketdynamo87]

@DeutschenVaterland This is a false translation. In German it says: "Die Schweden, die haben verflucht schlechtes Geld". "Geld" doesn't mean "field" (that's "Feld") but "money". So "Und von den Preußen geht keiner zum Feind über. Die Schweden, die haben verflucht schlechtes Geld" means: No prussian soldier would change sides to the swedish because they couldn't pay. It has nothing to do with the movie "Patriot".

[DinosaurFan88]

@DeutschenVaterland That actually makes sense, considering the Swedish fared quite poorly in the wars they waged against the Russians (though it is the Russians, whose sheer numbers eventually win out in most of their wars).

[Litzen2k]

@DeutschenVaterland Very incorrect fact about the Swedish army haha.

[Gruenkreuz100]

@DeutschenVaterland Ist aber falsch übersetzt. Da steht schließlich "Geld" und nicht "Feld". Damit ist gemeint, das die Schweden wenig Sold bekommen und darum wohl schlechtere Motivation haben.

[TheYellowJack]

@DeutschenVaterland @Vampirewolfking: Sorry, folks. I believe (as with the Austrians "holding") the song refers to the cannon. i.e. field of fire in the case of Swedish cannon, and Austrian cannon historically had a reputation for blowing up after overheating.

[SidneyBroadshead]

@Vampirewolfking It's a translation glitch. The German word shown is "geld", meaning gold or money, not "feld" meaning fields. The line is that "the Swedish have damn bad gold" (i.e., poor pay). Who knows if the Austrians will pay better?" The Prussians pay to the penny and always on time. (Heller are large silver coins like a dollar and pfennigs are silver pennies, like a dime or quarter.) Thus, Prussian soldiers don't desert because they get paid well (and on time!).

[Rotfuxx85]

@Vampirewolfking Nothing. ;) That's just a mishap in the translation I guess, it actually, literally, translates to "the swedes have damn bad money", though I'm not quite sure if this relates to the status of their currency or of their treasury, but I would guess the former.

[Blindanddumb]

@Vampirewolfking in fact it says "Geld" which is money ;)

[DerJeide]

@Vampirewolfking In the German version, if my hearing is not totally shell-shocked, they're singing "die Schweden, die haben verflucht schlechtes Geld", that is, they have bad money (bad pay). Makes more sense, too, as that verse discusses the lack of inducement for the Prussian soldier to desert to the enemy.

[mtsumusic]

There's one mistake I noticed: the word "brav" means "good" or "faithful" but not "brave." It's a false friend!

[DeutschenVaterland]

@mtsumusic Where? Can you tell me on which line it is, or on which time line?

[MaLoDe1975]

@DeutschenVaterland

you actually do quite good, but there are a lot of flaws yet. i donm´t blame you. it´s a hard text for a non native speaker, with its old words.

[DerJeide]

@DeutschenVaterland Actually, in the more archaic German of this song "brav" does mean "brave"

[SidneyBroadshead]

@mtsumusic It's a very poor translation in spots. 

[MaximKretsch]

@mtsumusic

No in this ancient context the German meaning of the originally French "brave" was exactly the same as the English "brave". The meaning in German has changed since then to "good boy/girl".

[Gruenkreuz100]

@mtsumusic That is not a mistake. Back then the words "brav" ment "brave" in germany.

[Vampirewolfking]

part from 1:10 to 1:28 is from battle of Poltava between Russia and Sweden.

[DeutschenVaterland]

@Vampirewolfking Yes, I was lacking Prussia video clip at that time.

[deltaraven]

this is my empire totl war theme song lol long live prussia

[chortles9]

Who else noticed that one of the lyrics is about the Prussians getting paid accurately and on time?

[F4Wildcat]

Guys what movie is this?

@F4Wildcat It's from "Die Deutschen - Friedrich und die Kaiserin".

[ssnakessnake2]
