Yeah…I was pretty good, wasn’t it.
The 9/11 hijackers picked 9-11 for historical reasons.
The turks were so terrified of the winged hussars they fled without murdering their hostages. The Christians captured wagon loads of coffee beans from the turks and that’s how viennese coffee houses started.
Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I begged Sobieski to save Vienna. Afterward, he forbade any monument to Sobieski. Talk about ingratitude.
I see what you did there.

We Came, We Saw, God Conquered!
What would of happened if Hitler would have just sent a few hundred Germans over to England on flimsy boats everyday for a few years?
I’d imagine if you could bring the Nazis forward and saw how England is being conquered they’d though....uh....that’s all we have to do??
They would have set themselves up and then sent for their families, most likely.
King Jan Sobieski’s contribution to saving civilization should be required knowledge of every high school and college graduate. (No matter how you spell it.)
What a sight it must have been!
Christiandom in the UK and EU are being taken over again by Islam, but there are no Hussars rising to displace and conquer and the so-called pope has invited them into the vatican..
The same will happen here if they’re not stopped dead in their tracks.
Too hell with their mosque building.
It’s not islamophobia.
It’s a spiritual war.
The atheist CCP is the other horn of satan.

I could never figure out why they were called “winged hussars”, when hussars normally carried sabres and were more scouting-type cavalry. The Polish “winged hussars” were offensive cavalry wielding lances into battle, typical “lancers”. Polish lancers were renowned elite cavalry all of the way through the Napoleonic era, with The Polish Lancers as members of Napoleon’s Old Guard.
Cool!
Naturally, as a former Cav officer, I wondered at the numbers. None so far in the thread. None easily seen at the link. So here:
The largest commonly cited cavalry charge occurred at the Battle of Vienna on September 12, 1683:
About 18,000 allied cavalrymen
About 3,000 Polish Winged Hussars, led by King Jan III Sobieski
You’re welcome.
