winged hussars

Sabaton wrote this song in 2016 to honor 20,000 Polish, German, and Austrian men who defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Vienna in 1683. The first Ottoman assault on Vienna was repelled in 1529. The Winged Hussars of Poland, whose motto was “Amor Patriae Nostra Lex – Love of the fatherland is our law”, led the 1683 charge, the largest known cavalry charge in history.
