Youtube comments of (@thomasfurtwangler8565).

  1. This channel is radically impacting people's lives
    21
  2. You are a cultured person
    17
  3. You make the most insightful historical content that I've ever listened to. Your emphasis on the moral dimension (and the real one, not the cliche preachy one of today) is truly enlightening. Your videos must be shared
    14
  4. The only history channel I trust
    12
  5. That there are people who still follow Metatron, scholagladiatoria, Skallagrim, the historian's craft, etc. and not even knowing that Schwerpunkt exists is an insult to the dignity of average human intelligence. The cultural standard has really dropped down
    11
  6. Nobody, literally nobody talks about such things.Great topics
    11
  7. Yay. I love your recent Balkan focus
    10
  8. Indeed the sub-cultural awe for Russian culture is overrated. Just a bunch of great writers and musicians in a part of contemporary history but then...?
    9
  9. This channel is heaven sent. I am beginning to understand that your way of interpreting history according to the Clausewitzian paradigm is of such lethal precision as to be dangerous for many
    9
  10. This is objectively the only true serious history channel on Youtube. You don't just know and explain the thing but you make a point for the audience to get it and participate in it. The topics are marvelous, the level of detail amazing and you just give a dramatic, dark, savory and concrete mark of accuracy to any of your videos. Top content

  11. Loved it, looking forward to the video on Ludwig the Bavarian
    8
  12. Molinella, such a beautiful battle. I will remember it
    8
  13. Excellent content
    8
  14. Wow. Great video. I noticed a bit the same thing: "this source says", "in this episode", and then they don't even realize that there is a scalar dimension that affects strategy and tactics structurally. Which is the same reason people don't discern true competence from general notionism.

  15. Thanks Rome, for all

  16. What impresses me the most about these videos is your contextual knowledge: how do you know in detail the politics, warfare and society of all these Communes along the medieval times at the same time? Not to mention the connection with imperial, papal, Angevin politics, etc.? Personally I am grateful to you for showing the world the history of these cities because as things stand today it is as if whole pages of history had been ripped out of mass culture: this is real European culture, not the antics like "the means of torture in the Middle Ages", "England's bloodiest dynasty" and all the other rubbish they concoct to mesmerize a severely undereducated audience. Thanks for everything you do

  17. Great video
    7
  18. Top quality content
    7
  19. This should be shared as an example of actual academic competence debunking the Marxist lunacy through actual and massive historical evidence, not a conservative "pretended" one. Make videos like this and I'll share them all the time
    7
  20. Excellent history
    7
  21. Thank you for covering European history in regional detail. I can't stand all these cartoon-style videos written by people who don't have the necessary competence to deal with the subject in a diachronic and comparative way. Your Medieval Italy playlist especially stands out in all the political, military and social complexity of the peninsula and it is a pure pleasure to learn about all these cities. If only there were people as knowledgeable as you are, we would solve most of our problems in a short time

  22. It's somehow disappointing how only Migration Era videos inexplicably take off while the rest of videos are not cared for by tens of thousands of subscribers given the the finest historical expertise provided throughout the entire content. This channel should be backed by followers constantly sharing the videos everywhere online and instead we seem to be still in the 2010s teenage behavior. Move
    6
  23. I really don't understand how the single best videos get regularly less views. I'm starting to think that most subscribers can't even get what it's explained in them nor what the channel is actually about. It's been going on for a while
    6
  24. Beautiful channel
    6
  25. You have easily the top military historical expertise on youtube. Gem of a channel
    6
  26. Excellent content. I also never understood the disdainful contempt for the Italian military during the 1930s-1940s outside the perpetuation of anti-Italian stereotypes and a superficial knowledge of the actual strategy and tactics of the single battles. Regardless of ideology (even thought that's important as the failure of Fascism influenced the war performance) and in a strictly military historical sense, the Italian soldiers were particularly as suprisingly dedicated and did most of what they could with their meager means, often outperforming even Germans in the direst in circumstances, from North Africa to Russia, from air to sea, from Fascism to Resistance. People seem to reason in terms of military defeat = military incompetence, which are notoriously different by Clausewitzian definition: a kind of thinking that actually does lead to defeat. There's a lot of misinformation and willful distortion still living deep in the veins of the West that stem from the lack of understanding of history and the most elementary strategic education.
    6
  27. Finally a channel that teaches actual Catholic Tradition history and not the wishful thinking that theist or atheist youtubers dream to pretend to know. This channel is truly and only for the elite
    6
  28. Thank you for this
    6
  29. It's insulting to watch any other Medieval warfare channel other than this
    6
  30. Finally a channel that teaches how the one soul of Europe is by exclusive definition Holy, Imperial, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman
    6
  31. Schwerpunkt offers a rare yet much needed insight on what it means being Western Continental European doctor, which is rendered even more valuable by his specialization in a subject such as the Art of War proper that is practically still not considered and/or understood in the more generic "military history" environment, still largely dominated by culturalism, lack of fundamental strategic bases and sinking in academic quality due to ostracism and ever narrower limits. Distrusting instead of celebrating this channel means not to only not being able to recognize some of the most macroscopic and worsening problems in world culture nor how much Schwerpunkt is capable of elevating the general audience from the misery that this platform has habituated them to. It's an immense work worth of extreme care and admiration
    6
  32. They are coats of arms used commonly all over Western, Southern, Central and Eastern Europe
    5
  33. I can't believe you're covering in thematic detail all military history: battles, tactics, strategy, army organization, arms & armor, unit types, philosophy of war, Art of War, von Clausewitz, Q&As for the audience + political, religious, social, cultural history in hard-core depth. This channel must take over
    5
  34. And paradoxically this is at the same time the only channel that actually explains history for those who are able to hear it. What happens on this platform by now is just channels harvesting gullible people who just want to be flattered for their own ignorance
    5
  35. Thanks for your PhD expertise. You run by far the most serious, academic and accurate history channel on YouTube. Crystal citing, granitic educational background, immense personal culture. Never seen anyone even remotely addressing a topic like this like you do. Your work is priceless
    5
  36. Your library is seriously boundless. Stepping into the channel is like getting lost in a Medieval Gothic cathedral chapter archive: all rigidly categorized, hidden treasures of the past, solemn setting and high devotion
    5
  37. Thanks Rome <3
    5
  38. Your channel is a true hymn to European brotherood
    5
  39. Brilliant content. Roman history has been so misused/misinterpreted that its true, absolute and universal meaning for mankind has been entirely forgotten
    5
  40. It is an anachronistic transposition of national concepts. Breton himself says that the German infantry would have killed the king of France on the spot: and the mercenaries of Brabant were massacred by the French because their life was not worth the ransom. It was a question of status: Breton says the same about the French knights. Furthermore, "Otto and his people" were excommunicated and treated as such: for Breton the emperor flees abandoning the eagle. And French historiography attributes a pagan character to the enemy through the symbol of the black dragon.
    5
  41. One of the things I love the most about Schwerpunkt is that it doesn't "memefy" history. Either you are willing to learn or you're out of the way
    5
  42. Excellent content
    4
  43. Real history content as nowhere else to be seen
    4
  44. You may easily be the greatest contemporary military historian. Simply I don't know any with this kind of wide range competence and expertise
    4
  45. Thanks Rome
    4
  46. Mind opening
    4
  47. Danke!
    4
  48. Now we are talking
    4
  49. Everything you say makes sense. This channel is a treasure for Medieval oplology
    4
  50. Finally real competence and no chit chat. Am I dreaming?
    4
  51. Great to follow
    4
  52. Masterpiece channel
    4
  53. You have the purest understanding of the traditional religious meaning of chivalry and its initiatic-spiritual ethos and training. Most people literally have never studied the origin of Medieval knighthood and literally treat warfare and religious separately because nobody has ever given them a book to read. This channel is the top expertise on any kind of Medieval military topic and beyond
    4
  54. Thank you for this exceptional content
    4
  55. Love your videos
    4
  56. There are ways and ways of doing things. Violence alone is not the problem either
    4
  57. Happy Holidays!
    4
  58. Rome alone is more important than the sum of any other thing ever happened in the world
    3
  59. It's amazing how Roman law kept advancing and bolstering Western civilization well a millennium after the fall of the Empire. It's equally amazing how most people don't even know this history existed in their very countries. Thanks Schwerpunkt

  60. Very enjoyable video
    3
  61. Super content. The best Medieval history channel
    3
  62. The only channel who truly understands the ROMANITY of the Empire
    3
  63. Brilliant content

  64. I wish all movie reviews were at this level. Also I'm honestly tired too to hear all positive reviews for such poor quality art
    3
  65. Thank you
    3
  66. Infinite love for this channel. Glory to the Holy Roman Empire, the only true Romulean continuation
    3
  67. This channel makes you feel at ease with history. No matter how complex, difficult or even controversial, the way the topic is explained always makes a lot of sense and leaves you with a clear idea of what was going on at the time.
    3
  68. I would point out that K&G and HM are often too superficial to be historically correct. Especially most of the first is click-baiting for ethno-national emotivism with no actual historiographical background, while I wouldn't trade any other battle analysis videos for Schwerpunkt's, who by the way makes a living as a doctoral specialist in tactical reconstruction
    3
  69. This content is astounding. I still don't understand how people can take the shallowness and superficiality of channels like kinds & generals while having the highest military-historical expertise available on YouTube at hand. Thank you for your work Schwerpunkt

  70. The incredible thing is that there still are other people actually watching other history channels other than this, n 2023. How low culture has fallen
    2
  71. Thank you for your academic erudition. The part on how the Oxford Encyclopedia of Medieval warfare doesn't even know the most important battles of the era is exceptional
    2
  72. Happy belated Epiphany. Thanks for bringing us Victory
    2
  73. Very interesting
    2
  74. Your historical perspectives are uniquely accurate and insightful. This is what I call a solid historical content
    2
  75. How is it possible that there are still other channels watched when you have Schwerpunkt
    2
  76. You're a very educated person
    2
  77. Thank you. God bless Ukraine
    2
  78. If you listen to the video he did not achieve much. Falkenhayn and Cadorna are more interesting figures
    2
  79. I love such pearls of Catholic culture: pure history, warfare, literature
    2
  80. The only true channel explaining in detail Medieval Europe. No more no less. Well, actually much more too, with von Clausewitz, military history and all
    2
  81. Thanks Rome
    2
  82. Thanks Rome

  83. It's shocking how an allegedly Medieval-interested audience goes routinely bananas for any video on the countryside and literally ignores any one on Church history. This reconfirms how most people have perennially their head into the dirt and they're gonna stick into it on purpose. Structuralism has really rotten European culture down to the roots
    2
  84. Exceptional content. You make by far the best Holy Roman Empire history videos. Your playlists are so rich
    2
  85. Epic content
    2
  86. Spectacular
    2
  87. Such topics are so underrated and you never quite find the right channel explaining them well. So glad I found Schwerpunkt
    2
  88. Medieval Italy embodies the pinnacle of Western civilization to levels that are very difficult to understand for today's commoner. Plus the way Schwerpunkt dominates the political, military and social history of the peninsula is nothing short of extraordinary. Basically I can look in depth at all the development of these city-states in detail and all the implications this had for European politics. Fantastic
    2
  89. Before watching your channel I didn't know that military history could be so complicated but also so much more interesting than the conventional cultural approach to it is. On Schwerpunkt I'm particularly astonished by your personal education but even more so the realization that this knowledge exists yet virtually all media content, including the one presented as military historical, ignores this depth and expertise. This channel is immense
    2
  90. The only channel that understands the true Romanity of the Empire
    2
  91. Thank you, father
    2
  92. K&G, Sandroman, HistoryMarche, Invicta, Armchair all sound like children compared to this. High level of expertise
    2
  93. Thanks for debunking the Heruli-Eluroi connection or at least show how there's no reasonable equivalence to historically draw between the two. How good this channel is and how refreshing compared to those Wikipedia Scandinavian mappings based on Jordanes that people make thinking it's actual history.

  102. Beautiful initial picture with the core Germanic heartland!

  103. Your expertise is fiercely impressive

  104. Wow this was when chariots already there but not yet able to tackle infantry. How fascinating

  105. Schwerpunkt is changing the way we thought history was possible

  106. Thanks Rome

  107. Thank you for reaffirming Western Imperial dominance in a world made up exclusively of culturally underdeveloped, dissonantly paranoid and mentally fragile people. Glory to Rome and the Germans

  108. Please expand on this, it's very interesting
