A new week and a new documentary. This time we make a big step towards the modern era with the War of 1600-1611 between the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania and the Kingdom of Sweden. Although this war has some impressive and memorable engagements, we decided to focus on the battle of Kirchholm (Salaspils) of 1605. This battle proved the tactical genius of the leader of Poland, the Grand Hetman of Lithuania Jan Karol Chodkiewicz and the dominance of the Winged Hussars who demonstrated that fearsome tercios can be defeated by the cavalry.
We have more documentaries on the way, with multiple scripts in the works, but we need your support to make creating them viable. Even the smallest patronage on the Patreon is important for us both financially and in terms of the moral support. So, here is the link: [ Ссылка ]
