Скачать или смотреть How 2,000 Hungarian Farmers Used Boiling Water to DESTROY 40,000 Ottomans | Siege of Eger

In 1552, the mighty Ottoman Empire expected a quick victory at the fortress of Eger in Hungary. What they encountered instead was one of the most humiliating failures in siege warfare.

Defended by barely 2,000 Hungarians—including farmers, craftsmen, and civilians—the fortress resisted an Ottoman army of around 40,000. With limited weapons and supplies, the defenders turned to boiling water, burning oil, stones, and sheer ingenuity to repel repeated assaults.

This documentary explains:

How ordinary civilians became elite defenders overnight

Why vertical warfare made numbers useless

How boiling water and fire broke Ottoman assault waves

The leadership and morale that held Eger together

Why this siege shocked the Ottoman command and inspired Europe

This was not a battle of armies.
It was a fortress turned into a weapon.
