Скачать или смотреть The General Who SAVED Napoleon But Died Unknown - France's Forgotten Hero

The most tragic hero in French military history. General Louis Desaix saved Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Marengo, secured France's future, and died in the same moment of victory—yet history forgot his name.

At just 31 years old, Desaix had already conquered Egypt, earned the title "The Just Sultan" from his enemies, and become the one general Napoleon called "irreplaceable." When Napoleon's army faced total defeat on June 14, 1800, it was Desaix who appeared on the horizon with his division, launched an impossible counterattack, and turned catastrophic loss into legendary victory.

But Desaix never lived to see his triumph. A musket ball struck him down at the moment France was saved. Napoleon wept at his death—then spent the rest of his life rewriting history to claim the glory for himself.

This is the complete story of Louis Charles Antoine Desaix de Veygoux: the provincial nobleman who chose revolutionary France over his aristocratic class, the professional soldier who marched 600 miles up the Nile pursuing Mamluk warriors, the moral commander who governed conquered territories with unprecedented justice, and the selfless hero who gave everything for a country that would forget him.

Discover the Egyptian campaign where he became "The Just Sultan," the brutal desert warfare against Murad Bey's cavalry, the desperate return to France, and the climactic three hours at Marengo that changed European history forever. Learn why Napoleon—surrounded by 26 marshals and hundreds of brilliant generals—said only one man could never be replaced.

This is military history's greatest untold story. This is the general who should have been immortal but died unknown. This is Louis Desaix.
