Can you imagine just the sound alone of 18000 horses charging into battle? That must have been something else.
The most Glorious sound for the besieged army And the most terryfing sound for the ottomans
It was also scarier when 18000 wings of husars made their characteristic sound
If I had a time machine that could allow me to travel back to witness, but not interact with, any point in history once, the winged hussars charge would be what I select.

@@Tom-2142 they used it yes but not as a shock cavalry. Mostly light armoured cav was used later on. And i don‘t remember one incident were cav was superior at any situation in WW1. Maybe in afrika or other colonies without rifles. In WW2 the polish military used cav as well (against Tanks, guess how that played out)
@@RobIn-tv1ml The OP talked about horses in general
@@RobIn-tv1ml wow look a 12yo historian what if I told you all countries had cav in ww1 (successful example: rokitna), as well as ww2 (germany used more horses in their army than poland), and the polish cavalry *was attacked* by *armoured cars* after a successful attack it launched on german infantry, it didn't attack any tanks
@@RobIn-tv1ml which colonies didn’t have rifles? Those were the most basic and produced weapons. Also the German polish cavalry stuff is a myth, the poles did not attack tanks with their cavalry, the tanks arrived after the polish had been beaten, their attacks against German infantry with cavalry were successful.

Some historians argue that the Hussars would use their wings to fly into battle and harass the enemy from above. There were no known deterrents for this kind of tactic at the time, making the unit incredibly lethal and even more terrifying than any of their peers.
Fun fact: early anti-air systems were made to shoot down polish hussars not planes
Sees legendary Winged Hussars finally being done on Simple History Me - I've been looking forward to this...
My powers have doubled since we last met ottoman
I’m gonna go with the intimidation theory. Those wings would make a charge seem larger, suddenly a group of 200 looks like 400.
Ottomans: why do I feel wet down there...
I heard the wings also made the cavalry _sound_ larger in number
I'm going with scaring the horses thouse guys wings make them look like a bunch of show girls
This video had some misconceptions popularized by pop culture. During battle they had at most one short wing attached to the saddle. Also the intimidating sound in pop culture connected to the wings in reality were made by a flags connected to lances. Which by the way were that long despite what he said they were probably to long to handle in battle. Hussars had leather strap with bucket attached to the saddle. They put the end of the lance in it so bot only rider didn't have to hold the whole weight in his hand but it also provided secondary leverage point for better handling

Hello friend the commonwealth will be back against the British commonwealth
It was not the firearm that really bring hussars to an end, breastplates where often tested witch muskets. The real doom was the lack of suitable manpower due to endless wars.
it became pointless for a soldier to be so well trained, when you can just train a peasant with an easy to use weapon. such an elite soldier is a long term investment, not only that. it requires that you have an aristocracy of knights, a social class that can uphold the profession of elite soldier, and pocket the costs. and you cannot let a lower social class become the knights because that's dangerous, can't let the plebs have power. also they probably cant afford the up front costs

Same with Filipinos🤣
The hussars are maybe the greatest cavalry force ever being able to win victory’s while heavily outnumbered with minimal losses, consistently, their ability to constantly reform and charge over and over again changed some battles, and one of the most impressive battles is probably the battle of hodow village which saw 400 hussars against around 40,000 tartar raiders around the village of hodow, they first engaged the 10,000 man vanguard driving it back before fortifying the village and driving the entire enemy army back

I love that they added an armor based off of the Hussars to Elden Ring.
What armor is it?I have a char named winged Hussar.I
I see what you did there: Their armours and helmets were highly "polished"
I was about to click on a different video... *THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED*

HI MY HUNGARIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, GRETTINGS FROM POLAND, KISSES!
We thank you and appreciate your help, ours, but give the equipment to the whole army ... (1920) great respect. greetings
18000 winged hussars charging in to battle Sobiesky "Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east."
The moment of silence at the end of these hits different
3:20 I guess you can call them Polished Hussars ...I'll see myself out...

GTFO
Polishing Polished

no stay
Sabaton fans: see this video title. *Knee smashing intensifies*
AND DONT FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!
Respect to Poland from Albania 💪🇦🇱🇵🇱
Poland saved Western civilization twice. They lifted the Siege of Vienna in 1683, but also stopped the Bolshevik advance into Europe in 1920 outside of Warsaw.
Turkish Grand Vizier: I Have An Army. Poland: *We Have The Winged Hussars.*
Uh this isnt good meme actually
*Sabaton intensifies* Turks: we do we hear boss music??
Whole 18,000 of them.

They had wings because usually the Polish army was way smaller that the enemys and therefore having the wings made it look like there was more of them than there actually were
Not funny. What do you mean Jeb? Were you fucking high before you posted it? Dude, not funny, really!
True!
The Hussars May have faded into history. But Poland remains. Zywa Polska
*Hussar walks into an armory* *Smith:* "What're ya buyin', stranger?" *Hussar:* "I want eagle wings, lobster plates, fur helmets..." *Smith:* "The Zoo Package. Gotcha."
well hello there nice to see you again
Hello bro
A lot of the wings had feathers from ostriches, then considered in Poland probably more exotic than eagle's.
"Rohirim! TO THE KING!" *charge downhill
Ottomans: END IS NEaR!
@@AndasMus John III Sobieski: I came. I saw. God conquered.
And one important curiosity, when the Winged Hussars started their charge in the battle of Vienna, the rest of the army (Germans and Austrians) stopped their attack and admire this view of the Winged Hussar's charge.
4:52 i remember my history teacher telling us that the feathers on the back were primarly to intimidate the enemy by the sound made by feathers, they were higher than the warrior himself so enemy could see and hear incoming pounding he's about to receive. So me personally i belive that these wings were sort of morale patches but much more effective and symbolic to indomitable force of Polish Hussars.
Everyone's talkin' about the winged Hussars and Sabaton references, But let's not forget the Polish Destroyer that trolled the Bismarck
" I A M A P O L E"

Also,that Destroyer's name is Piorun,formerly the Nerissa
We REMEMBER In SEPTEMBER WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
12 september to be exact
*STORM CLOUDS FIRE AND STELL* *DEATH FROM ABOVE MAKE THEIR ENEMY KNEEL*
Ottomans: why do I hear boss music? Poland: (SABATON INTENSIFIES).
AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
I have come here to announce that the Winged Hussars have arrived.
Where? I need an autograph.
Everyone who clicked on this video: *WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED*
Who else is here just because the thumbnail has “then the winged hussars arrived”?
When your friends decide to finally to help you in your math homework.
Turks: "We have a huge army" Holy League: "We have Poland"
The Polish army was more crowded.
Poland can't into space but can into OTTOMAN DESTRUCTION!
You have Poland till it is wiped off the map.
Everyone always asks when the Polish Winged Hussars arrived but no one ever asks how the Polish Winged Hussars arrived.
How? Well by horse ofcourse coming down the mountain side
It says on my screen 50 years ago🤔
@@gerritrookworst3701 Yeah, of course. They came down and turned the tide.
18,000 horses, largest cavalry charge in history. Imagine witnessing that; would have probably felt the ground shake from THAT many galloping horses
Winged Husarss were inspiration for Tolkkiens Rohanirims just in case you dont know
the majority of the comments section is: *Then the Winged Hussars arrived* And that's how I know I'm in the right comments section. Men of culture
