We want to entertain people with history which is entertaining, visually pleasing and grounded in scholarship at the same time. Our golden rules: 1) We only use academic sources and always try to stick to the consensus opinion. 2) We always list our sources in description of our videos. 3) We make clear when we deviate from the prior two rules. Education: Between the two of us we hold two Master's degrees in history from the university of Bern and one degree as a history teacher from the Bern University of Teacher Education. Both of us worked at the University of Bern as teaching assistants. We wrote an article about our experience as content creators (ed. by Dr. Kilian Baur and Robert Trautmannsberger): https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110792898-005/html We also held a few talks about our journey on YouTube at the universities of Eichstätt, Fribourg and Zürich. We taught a seminar about history on YouTube at the University of Zurich in spring of 2024.

Video Description
The second (Staggering) Siege of Vienna 1683: On the 14th July 1683, an Ottoman army under the command of the Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha arrived at the Gates of Vienna. Their arrival marked the beginning of a siege characterized by subterranean warfare, delays on both sides, and an “apocalyptic storm” of Tatar riders ravaging the hinterland. The siege was eventually ended by the battle of Vienna, when the Polish winged Hussars arrived under King Jan III Sobieski famously charged into the Ottoman army. The siege and battle of Vienna are discussed extensively by historians up to this day. It is considered the turning point in the westward expansion of the Ottomans and it is an interesting case study for any student of warfare.
