Blamison are back with a great episode on one hell of a film! 1972's Horror Express with Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, and Telly Savalas is what would happen if Hammer tried to make John Carpenter's The Thing ten years earlier. Plus if you want to talk about representation on screen, then one of the under-represented great Christian denominations (which sounds suspiciously Protestant) is shown front and center in this film. Plus Cossacks!Other thing talked about: skateboarding maths, science's increasingly shady track record and Blake gets Cossacks and Hessians mixed up.Clip: "The Impossible Dream" by Christopher Lee

Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits.  Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse. Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters.  Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops.  Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine's American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it. Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.

Between 1776 and 1783, Britain hired an estimated 30,000 German soldiers to fight in its war against the Americans. Collectively known as Hessians, they actually came from six German territories within the Holy Roman Empire. Over the course of the war, members of the German corps, including women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the North to West Florida and Cuba in the South. They shared in every significant British military triumph and defeat. Thousands died of disease, were killed in battle, were captured by the enemy, or deserted. Collectively, they recorded their experiences and observations of the war they fought in, the land they traversed, and the people they encountered in a large body of letters, diaries, and similar private and official records. In Hessians: German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War (Oxford University Press, 2022) Dr. Friederike Baer presents a study of Britain's war against the American rebels from the perspective of the German soldiers, a people uniquely positioned both in the midst of the war and at its margins. The book offers a ground-breaking reimagining of this watershed event in world history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Within the Declaration of Independence, the founders of the United States present twenty-seven grievances against King George III as they declare their reasons for why the thirteen British North American colonies sought their independence from Great Britain. Their twenty-fifth grievance declares that King George III “is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat [sic] the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun.” What do we know about the “Armies of foreign Mercenaries” King George III sent to his rebellious American colonies?  Friederike Baer, an Associate Professor of History at Penn State Abbington College, joins us to explore the lives and wartime experiences of the 30,000 German soldiers the British Crown hired and dispatched to North America during the American War for Independence. Frederike is the author of the award-winning book Hessians: German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War.

“These are the times that try men's souls.” This is the story of a Christmas Miracle at Trenton, New Jersey. George Washington's army is exhausted, disheartened, battered, starving, freezing–all but broken. Sir William Howe's mighty British Army has chased these American soldiers out of New York, New Jersey, and now, across the ice-filled Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Worse still for the Patriots, the British have captured Continental General General Charles Lee and scared Congress into fleeing Philadelphia. The Revolution appears all but defeated. But George isn't ready to accept defeat. The Founding Father has made a list, checked it twice, and decided that the Hessian troops in Trenton have been naughty … neither patriot nor loyalist will soon forget Christmas of 1776. ___ 2 Ways to dive deeper into History That Doesn't Suck Join our growing facebook community Become part of the HTDS Patreon family Learn more about your ad choices.

Shawn White describes his vision of seeing U.S. citizens, forced into encampments, the dire conditions that will exist, and God's hand helping those called upon the free the captives--800,000 of them. It will be reminiscent of George Washington crossing Delaware on the night of December 25, 1776, and leading his army in the forefront in the battle of Trenton where the Hessians were defeated, an event which could have only been won by God's divine intervention.For the show notes, go to Vision of Zion.

etween 1776 and 1783, Great Britain hired more than thirty thousand German soldiers to fight in its war against the American rebels. Collectively known as Hessians, the soldiers and accompanying civilians, including hundreds of women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the North and West Florida in the South. In this presentation, recorded April 3, 2023, Friederike Baer highlights some of the key experiences of these participants in a war on a distant continent against a people that had done them no harm.

Following the evacuation of Boston in March of 1776, London authorities knew that Britain's small British alone could not possibly conquer the American continent.  King George III, also the Elector of Hanover, reached out to his German relations and other allied provinces to provide auxiliary forces to send to America.  Arriving first at New York in 1776, about 30,000 German soldiers would serve in the American War for Independence.  Friederike Baer, Associate Professor & Division Head of the Arts & Sciences at Pennsylvania State University's Abington College, joins us to talk about their experiences, which she tells in her new book Hessians:  German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War, the first comprehensive account of the German experience in the American war.

I'm still trying to make sense of this. Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout boot, whatever. However pronunciation is I don't really care, frankly, the guy's a murdering dirtbag. And it's interesting because it continues to be the fixation for the press. Because this is about the Biden administration making a deal to get Brittney Griner home. And that not getting Paul Whelan back who? My gosh, you would think Paul Whelan is somehow become the second coming of Kyle Rittenhouse. I mean, just the way the idiots on the cable channels talk about this guy who got a dishonorable discharge. So yeah, so he shouldn't be in Russia for 25 years. That's totally justified if you're any kind of a but no, you're not you're not a patriot. The people in the press do not represent the people of the United States. They don't represent the United States. They represent their own corporate interests. And I'm reminded of that very important quote from Lord Palmerston. You probably know the quote, you may not know it's Lord Palmerston. But remember, it was Lord Palmerston, back in the middle of the 19th century, declaring, therefore I say that it is narrow policy to suppose that this country, or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally, or perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies. And we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual. And those interests, it is our duty to follow. I liked that quote, a lot. Because in so many ways, Lord Palmerston is right. We don't have countries that are permanent allies or permanent enemies. We've had countries that were allies, that became enemies, Iran, we've had countries that were enemies, Vietnam, who can't call them an ally, but we're certainly not having hostilities. And we're certainly, you know, respectful of what it is that they're doing in that country. And we do business with that country now. Germany, right, Germany, Germany, just started the business with us back during the American Revolution, when they sent the Hessians in as as mercenary mercenaries to try to terrorize the the Americans who were fighting for their independence. And then we didn't go to war with the Germans for a long time. And then we went to war with the Germans in World War One and World War Two, and they've been allies, since so there are no permanent allies, there are no permanent enemies, things change. It's a fluid situation, it's the one part of federal policy that I think should be regarded as fluid. If you're going to be cool with us, we're going to be cool with you. If you're going to be jerks with us. We're going to jerk your chain, you're going to be sorry, don't do that. But you know, there's another famous quote from Lord Palmerston. That's incredible. And that you you almost never hear referenced. I mean, I don't know under what circumstances you could actually, you know, have it referenced. I mean, it wouldn't come up in a dinner chat, no doubt, unless you're talking to some people that are really smart about foreign policy. But you know, this is a quote, this is a this is an amazing quote from Lord Palmerston. The policy and practice of the Russian government has always been to push forward its encroachments as fast and as far as the apathy or want a firmness of other governments would allow it to go, but always to stop and retire, when it met with decided resistance, and then wait for the next favorable opportunity. That that is from like, two centuries ago, and he's got Vladimir Putin. Exactly dead to right. I mean, think about that. That is absolutely incredible. He nailed them. He nailed them. But we don't have context anymore. In our body politic. We don't have context anymore. We don't have intellect anymore. We don't have Force of Will any longer we've stopped doing that. And if you want to know why, you have got what will likely be 3 million The illegals coming into the United States probably in the next 90 days, 180 days, six months. If you want to know why that is. It's because nobody in the world today fears us. They don't fear the president. They don't fear the vice president. Pay don't fear. Ronnie Klain, they don't I mean, think about the people that are the face of the government. The face of the government is the face of the government is the Democratic Party. For all intents and purposes. It's Pelosi. It's Schumer. It's Fetterman. It's Biden, who was Fetterman? Before Fetterman? Like he's from Pennsylvania. Kamala Harris. Like those are the people you're forward facing out to the world and saying, look at what we got. We got a murderer's row right here. They will make you pay. No way. No way. Nobody's afraid of us. Nobody is fearful of the United States and retribution. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us in exploring a new narrative of the American Revolutionary War from the eyes of hired German Soldiers, known as Hessians. On this week's PreserveCast, we are talking with Friederike Baer about her book Hessians: German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War. We'll explore the untold stories of the Hessians and the profound impact they had in the American Revolution. Friederike Baer is Associate Professor of History and Division Head for Arts and Humanities at Pennsylvania State University, Abington College. Originally from Germany, Baer holds a Ph.D. in early American history from Brown University. Her research, which has been supported by organizations such as the American Philosophical Society, University of Michigan Clements Library, German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., and German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), focuses primarily on the experiences of German-speaking people in North America in the periods of the War for American Independence and Early Republic. Among her publications are the books The Trial of Frederick Eberle: Language, Patriotism and Citizenship in Philadelphia's German Community, 1790-1830 (New York UP, 2008) and Hessians: German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War (Oxford UP, 2022).

In the summer of 2022, archaeologists discovered the remains of 13 Hessians who had been killed during the Battle of Red Bank in New Jersey. The Battle of Red Bank was fought on October 22, 1777 and resulted in the deaths of dozens of Hessian soldiers. Join Emerging Revolutionary War as we welcome one of the archaeologists who worked on the project, Wade Catts, to discuss the battle, the surprising discovery that occurred this summer, and what we can learn from archaeology about the men who fought the battle 245 years ago.

In 1776 a massive British fleet of more than 400 ships carrying tens of thousands of soldiers arrived outside New York Harbor. Many of these soldiers were German, hired from their princes by the British government. Americans then and now have called them Hessians. For the next seven years, these German soldiers marched, fought, and suffered seemingly everywhere in eastern North America, from the walls of Quebec City to the sandy beaches of Pensacola Bay. When the British army left, many Germans were left behind–both the living, deserters who had found new lives or others who settled with Loyalists in Canada, and the dead. Just this summer, on the battlefield of Fort Mercer, across from Philadelphia, an archaeological dig discovered a grave with the remains of thirteen German soldiers–and that just a fraction of the Germans who died in that place on October 22nd, 1777.  With me to describe the Hessians and their American odyssey is Friederike Baer, Associate Professor of History  at Pennsylvania State University, Abington College, and author of the new book Hessians: German Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War.      For Further Investigation Friederike writes, "for those interested in researching their Hessian ancestors, try this database of records at Hessian State Archives, Marburg, Germany and the Johannes Schwalm Historical Association (which also publishes an annual journal) A digitized collection of maps related to the Revolutionary war in the Hessian State Archives Marburg, Germany (collections 28 and 29)  "A classic to read is" Edward J.

Hello,all. This is just an update on what I found regarding Hessians.

The Rabbis tell us that some of the most important parts of the scriptures are the stories that we do not like. The tales of failures and embarrassing happenings that don't seem to fit the overall narrative of a loving G-d reaching out to his people. The stories of death and murder and assault and war and strife that often leave us wondering, "Why is this here?" At the end of the day, there are - more often than not - important lessons in these chapters that if we are willing to put in the effort, will prove instructive. We have this idea that the American Revolutionary war was a series of great events that usually saw the Continentals getting the best of the British or the Hessians or the spies sent to find out our plans. We love to read and hear about the magnificent and inspiring victories and the mighty leaders who stood resolutely against tyranny. Those are the takes we enjoy and from which we take our motivation. But on this day in 1780, one of the darkest events of the entire war took place on the field in Camden, SC. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/plausibly-live/message

The Massachusetts Archives were created after the Revolution to organize and preserve the public records of Massachusetts.  We talk with Michael Comeau, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Archives,  and John Hannigan, the Curator, about the millions of documents and artifacts which reveal the entire history of the Commonwealth, from 1629 to the present.  Muster rolls, inventories, letters from George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, invoices from Paul Revere, trophies from the Battle of Bennington, which historians can use to tell a fuller history of the Revolution and the years before and since. We also discuss the Commonwealth Museum  and its Treasures Gallery, where you can see the 1629 and 1682 charters, a printing of the Declaration of Independence, the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, and an original copy of the Bill of Rights--along with Paul Revere's copper plate from which he printed his "Boston Massacre" image.

The American Revolution gave author Washington Irving inspiration for one of the greatest ghost stories in American history: the Headless Horseman. Emerging Revolutionary War historians with special guest Hessian historian Ross Schwalm, dive into this tale and others on Halloween night, looking at the facts upon which Irving based his famous fictional tale on.

The fall and early winter of 1775 had not gone well for the patriots during the American Revolution. One defeat was met by another. Starting with the battle of Long Island, the British chased George Washington and his shrinking army out of Brooklyn, out of New York city and finally out of New Jersey. With the end of 1775 coming fast, many in the army would not be signing back up and the revolution was on the verge of collapse. The British were so sure of victory, most of the generals and other high-ranking officers retired to the comforts of New York City for the winter, leaving garrisons of troops in many New Jersey towns under the command of either junior officers or German Hessian mercenaries. Washington was camped on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River a distance north of Philadelphia. He was desperate, as was his army. Washington was a keen observer of the weather, like many of the nation's founders. His army had miraculously escaped the British after the battle of Long Island as a bank of early morning fog formed and hid his retreat. He understood river fog in the fall season quite well, having lived on his Mt Vernon farm along the banks of the Potomac River. He also understood that strong northwest winds in December usually brought on a change to much colder weather and surmised that the enemy across the river would be hunkered down the next morning, inside to escape the cold and it would be the day after Christmas as well and the soldiers would be sleeping in after celebrating. At 11 p.m. on Christmas night, Washington's army started its crossing of the half-frozen Delaware river at three locations. The 2,400 soldiers led by Washington successfully braved the icy and freezing river and reached the New Jersey side of the Delaware just before dawn. The other two divisions, made up of some 3,000 men and crucial artillery, failed to reach the meeting point and turned back. Washington was on his own. At 8 a.m. on the morning of December 26, Washington's remaining force, separated into two columns, reached the outskirts of Trenton, New Jersey and descended on the unsuspecting Hessians. Trenton's 1,400 Hessian defenders were groggy from the previous evening's festivities, just as Washington has surmised, they were ensconced in their buildings and underestimated the Patriot threat after months of decisive British victories throughout New York. Washington's men quickly overwhelmed the Germans' defenses, and by 9:30 a.m. the town was surrounded. Although several hundred Hessians escaped, nearly 1,000 were captured at the cost of only four American lives. Washington's victory was based as much on pluck and courage as his understanding of celebrations and even more so the weather. The bitter cold that Washington and his troops braved was the turning point. Hessian sentries were not out braving the cold, also as Washington imagined. The surprise victory was complete and total. Washington's army was boosted by the victory and one several days later at Princeton. The Patriot army did not collapse – re-enlistments and new enlistments soared with the victories. The British were shocked and the Hessians, so ruthlessly triumphant in the summer, gained respect for the Americans. In fact, many would dessert and make the new nation their home.

It's easy to forget that Hessians were people too, with the way they are discussed in history. A bit about the German "mercenaries" for the British Side in the Revolution in this episode. We discuss their true purpose and story, the impact on the Revolution and American motives. How some Hessians switched sides, or just settled down in the country they were assigned to conquer.   And we tell one Hessian's story, found in his diary by German relatives.  Since Hessians figure prominently in the Battle of Trenton, a special treat: Bob Crawford and Ben Sawyer make a brief appearance on the show.

Tonight, during our second annual October classic horror series, we’ll read "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", a gothic story by American author Washington Irving. Written while Irving was living abroad in Birmingham, England, it is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween. The Headless Horseman was believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. Hessians was what the American’s called German soldiers who fought for the British during the Revolutionary War. If you enjoy this story, be sure to check out Snoozecast’s earlier episodes of Rip Van Winkle part one and part two, also written by Irving.-- read by 'N' --Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/snoozecast)
