Napoleon is the greatest military mind in whole history of warfare.Only english cowards dont like him.VIVE LA EMPEREUR!!!

[leonn54]

@SuperBradva who said we dont like him? he was a fine enemy.

[NapoleonCalland]

@leonn54 Have you read Felix Markham's "Napoleon", or "Napoleon" by Vincent Cronin? "Napoleon for Dummies" is an excellent piece of work too.

[MrRickmowen]

uh i sorta meant it as a statement that had no relivance to the particular battle you are talking about, perhaps instances in the penninsular war or other less relivant conflicts. but yes you are correct blue jacket, but i honestly would prefer if you did not insult me (unless you are an english bastard in which case, please keep pretending you are not a slave to the military complex that controls my nation, and cling to your olden days)

[bluejacketbugler]

to Mrickmowen,check your history ass wipe,the guarde never got to use their bayonets at Waterloo,they broke and retreated,as the Duke of Wellington said,Now Maitland nows your time, probably the last words they heard ,'cept for that immortal phrase La Guarde Recule,

[ViccardXViccc]

@bluejacketbugler That explains why the allied capured napoleon...wait, they didn't!

They retreated indeed, but not without a fight.

[MrRickmowen]

think about how many pasty limey bastards were skewered on bayonets by these guys

[kevinmatthewjones]

@MrRickmowen you're a sick fuck.

Sick.

Fuck.

[MarcelBrayard]

Vive la France, Vive l'Empereur, vive la Garde !

[MrPhucyu123]

@MarcelBrayard lol...napoleon was italian...

[ViccardXViccc]

@MrPhucyu123 Corsican, to be precise. But Italian was his first language.

You know, he was actually the first king of Italy.

[jeff6289]

@MrPhucyu123 Napoleon was french idiot, he born in corse ans it's french, he talks about himself like french and not italian

[fredofasgarnia]

With music like this,it's no surprise to me that the Old Guard fought with such audacity! A great song from an even greater nation,vive la France from Great Britain! :-)

[dark7element]

"The Guard dies, but the Guard does not surrender!"

[reb198]

So French So Cool !!

[reb198]

Vive La Frence Vive La Garde Vive La Oignon ps god bless Frence and im English!!

[Draksen]

*meritent

[Draksen]

Vive l'Empereur! Et à mes compatriotes et amis francophones: repondez aux porcs anglo-saxons en francais. Ces incultes ne mérite ni notre pitié ni notre temps.

[Almanzzor]

@Draksen C'est clair pourquoi on se ferait chier à leur répondre dans leur sale langue d'handicapés (ils ont même pas de conjugaison) alors que ces chiens ne maîtrisent pour la plupart aucun mot de notre langue.

[PseudoX]

Damn, i really respect the imperial guards, the best bastards in this time! hourra for them!

[brannify]

@PseudoX yea they sucked english cocks in 1815 in a proper way

[PseudoX]

"La garde meurt mais ne se rend pas" dumb pricks ahah!

[eiffeltowers]

bloody useless the French: Type French military victories into Google. Hey presto...

2nd world war, Napoleonic...pfft

[Freez57fr]

@eiffeltowers

Why don't you go suck the cocks of your English masters??

Sad you're not a real man like the Irish.

[Dennemark]

1/5'ed for being french.

[TheAlpha101]

France equal Fear

[588158]

The duke of Wellington said that just the presence on Napoleon on the battlefield was the equivelent of adding 10,000 men to his forces. The is no desputing that napoleon was a great General

[sundayliein4]

@588158 A great LEADER not necessarily a great general. Although he was brilliant and won many battles which would suggest he was a great general.

[AverageJoeCinema]

I believe that he actually said 40,000, on account of an Empire: Total War quote

[onlyonepeuple]

OK..OK..OK, Napoléon n'est pas un idiot ha ha ha.. . Par contre pour BARUC, je ne sais pas. Et Vous? OK Napoléon is not a idiot ha ha ha but forBaruc, I dont no.. And you??

[cumbas]

onlyone... le seul petit con et idiot que l'on voit ici c'est pourtant bien toi :-)

[IuniusPalladius]

Asking for mutual peace and respect then saying Napoleon was an idiot is not following your own advice!

[GreyLittleKitten]

Napoleon was not an idiot...

[G4vr0che]

@GreyLittleKitten You dumbass.

[Europeanaddict]

The middle Guard broke, the units of the old Imperial Guard either retreated in good order or stood and died. "The Guard dies but does not surrender".

[172rosco]

@Europeanaddict well said rosco172

[ungolianth]

BAILEN (1808).

[gobearcubies]

L'Emperor!!!!!!!

[Tlax13]

Glorious

[rascal711]

excellent video - is the music from a cd? - could you post the details if possible please.

[irishgeneral]

A very nice video!

Does anyone know where one might get a collection of Napoleonic music, i.e. music of the Army and Empire?

[cumbas]

if you looks the channel of members here and my channel for example it will be a good beggining...

[Napoleonico74]

Great video

[tipitjo]

Aupres de ma blonde

A qu'il fait bon fait bon

vrey nice video

[albertdemorcef]

Nice.

[cumbas]

and "hop!!" in my playlist "Age of Napoleon" ^^ :-)

[cumbas]

i have all military march and song of Empire and that would have been more "reality" with for example the "Chant du départ" the hymn of Empire :-)

despite that it's a very nice video ;-)

[tipitjo]

the Chant du Départ was interdised by Napoleon at the end of the Consulate, like La Marseillaise

[cumbas]

Pour la Marseilaisse Napoléon ne l'interdit jamais vraiment officiellement, mais il ne l'amait pas c'est vrai

Surtout pas pour des raisons politiques mais pour des raisons sentimentales ^^ (au contraire même la 1ère fois qu'il l'entends en présence de Rouget de Lisle son créateur, il l'en remercie vivement)

Ce n'est que bien plus tard lorsqu'il appris que Rouget de Lisle fut l'amant de Joséphine le grand amour de Napoléon, qu'il eu du mal a entendre la Marseillaise ^^

[cumbas]

Pour le "Chant du départ", faux, tout au contraire il fut même considéré sous l'Empire comme son Hymne

Il est vrai que pendant prés de 30 ans (de la Révolution de 1789 à la fin de l'Empire en 1815) avec toutes ces guerres à mener contre les royaumes qui nous attaquaient, le citoyen français partait beaucoup de chez lui ^^

[IuniusPalladius]

C'est vrai, mon ami, le Chant du départ était le hymne de l'empire.

You're right, Napoleon did not ban la Marseillaise, though he did not encourage it either. Davout's troops played it as they entered Berlin in 1806.

[cumbas]

For the Marseillaise, Napoleon never prohibits it officially, but he did not like it's true Especially not for political reasons but for sentimental reasons ^^ (on the contrary even the 1st time that he hears it in the presence of Rouget of Lisle his creator, he thanks it for the song)

It's only later when he learned that Rouget of Lisle was the lover of Joséphine the great love of Napoleon, that it have evil has to hear the Marseillaise ^^

[cumbas]

For the "Chant du départ", in the contrary it was even regarded under the Empire as its Anthem

It's true that during 25 years (between the Revolution of 1789 at the end of the Empire in 1815) with all these wars to be made against the kingdoms which attacked France, the French citizen left much at his home ^^

[cumbas]

nice video to this tribute

5 stars :-)

but you don't choice the perfect french military songs for this tribute my friend ^^

for example "The prisoner of Holland" or "Auprès de ma blonde" its other title, was sung less by French Army during the Revolution and Empire wars ^^

she was more used by French Royal Army in 18th century on the reign of Louis XIV and after during the 19th by the French Republic Army

[granskare]

superb images and of course the grand music!

thanks :)
