Battle of Hohenfriedberg 1745 - First and Second Silesian War DOCUMENTARY

The conflicts of the XVII and XVIII centuries are often considered to be dull, as the tactics of the period were too rigid and positional. But even this period had its shining stars - generals whose talent changed the borders with one decisive move and pushed the tactics and warfare forward. Prussian king Frederick II the Great is rightly considered the best commander of this era. In this documentary, we will cover the First and the Second Silesian Wars that were part of the War of the Austrian Succession with the focus on the battles of Mollwitz (1741) and Hohenfriedberg (1745). Hopefully, you will enjoy this video, because we are eager to cover the Thirty Years' War, the War for the Spanish Succession, Seven Years' War and other prominent conflicts of that period.
