Reenactment of the battle between germanic tribes led by Armenius (Hermann) and the Roman army led by General Varus which resulted in a victory for the tribes and the destruction of three Legions, 10% of the entire Roman army. The reenactment took place in New Ulm, Minnesota USA on Saturday, 19 September 2009, as part of the anniversary celebration of Hermann's victory. The original battle took place in the Teutobergerwald (Teutoberg Forest) in what is today northwestern Germany in 9 AD.

  • Sweet, i didn't know this was on Youtube. Was this home footage or from the DVD they made of it?

    I see myself, I'm the guy with with large sword over his shoulder from 2:22-2:32. towards the left of the frame.

  • Thanks for the comments. This was shot with a Canon digital camera from up behind the radio/audio booth.

    Glad you helped out!
