Why hasn't there been a movie about the Battle of Vienna?
>Was the climax of several hundred years of Muslim aggressin and conquest of Europe
>10,000 soldiers trapped defending the city of Vienna
>Ottoman army consisting of almost 150 000 men
>Defenders refused to give up as Ottomans had slaughtered another town that let them in previously
>Thus a siege began, cannons were fired, trenches were dug, all that jazz
>Meanwhile a relief force consisting of 40 000 germans and 20 000 poles are coming to Viennas aid
>Ottomans desperately tried to take the town before the relief army arrived, but couldn't
>The Ottomans had blown a few holes in the walls of Vienna but the battle began, and germans attacked the ottomans from the left side
>Heavy fighting ensued, but the ottomans did not crumble
>Meanwhile the polish infantry attacked on the right, the Ottoman now stuck between enemy forces
>The germans were now very close to the Ottoman central position
>Then, the legendary polish cavalry the Winged Hussars slowly emerged from the forest, greeted by the cheer of the polish and german infantry
>What followed was the biggest cavalry charge in history - 6000 Rohirrim in Return of the King - when over 20,000 horsemen charged the ottoman lines which quickly routed and started to flee the battlefield
>Afterwards Sobieski, the king of Poland who lead the cavalry charge, paraphrased Julius Caesar's famous quotation (Veni, vidi, vici) by saying "Veni, vidi, Deus vicit"--"I came, I saw, God conquered"
