  • Am I the only person who got goosebumps watching this?

  • "The last cavalry charge" - maybe as indicated in "western" europe, in WWII every army had still cavalry regiments and used horses en masses for transport.

    The biggest (and for real the last) cavalry battle of Europe was the battle of Warsaw 1920 and.... since 01:38 it`s the Polish cavalry pay attention to thier square hats, not to mention "watermark" in right-down corner "Filmoteka Narodowa". At 02:56 is legendary scene from a Polish movie "Hubal" hehe

    Good movie :)

  • the last REAL war worth fighting for.

  • actually I get so mad when I watch this. Those horses are so innocent. All because of sociopaths - hitleter and his henchmen

  • My great grandfather was one of these guys only the english version...so sad for the horses since their nature is the opposite, peaceful creatures.

  • 1. March 1945 the 1st "Warsaw" Independent Cavalry Brigade charged (succesful) positions of 163. Inf. Division in Schonfeld. Some authors say the Polish cavalry charged later in Heckelberg and Grunthal in Brandenburg in 21. April 1945.

  • The german soldiers in this movie are from "all quiet on the western front."

  • fucking brave men!!!!!! te days of te cavlary wer dead but still tey fought on!!!!!! how can you not admire tem!!!!!!!! \m/

  • *germans charging the british in the biggest cavalry charge ever* "kill the swine- oh shit!"

    *tanks roll up the hills, blasting their 6 pounders* GERMAN COMMANDER: "ok we had a good run and well, how about we just give 'em this win? whos with me" all the germans put their hands up.

  • you should have said "the last successful cavalry charge in Europe", that would have been correct. Because others treid lateron, but noone succeeded...

    Vive les Guides...

  • @Tomenable : we are talking about WWi and WWII

  • @cumbas

    The last was in Afghanistan in 2000s. By Afghan pro-NATO mounted militia.
