Napoleon Crossing the Alps by Jacques-Louis David, 1800

I was exhausted after seeing this one hour docu-movie, so a great audio-visual. It's about the 1815 Battle at Waterloo. Napoleon, Wellington, Prussians, even Dutch and the lot. It were actually several battles during several days. Wiki has the story and this is the docu. The movie looks like a BBC production; one of their best.

When you listen closely, you can hear Beethoven's music all over.

In the end, Napoleon put in his Personal Guard (his special forces, that never lost a battle). They were over-acting in the charge. When they had to retreat from the English hill-side canon fire, this news got the whole French army to collapse into mental and physical disarrey and thereby loosing the Waterloo battle.

Great footage for the historically inclined.

The one hour movie is English spoken with Dutch subtitles.
It comes in about 6 x 90 MB. parts;
Battle of Waterloo - part1.rar
Battle of Waterloo – part2.rar
Battle of Waterloo – part3.rar
