Aye, agree on ya, lad.

#bringbackprussia

As did the Wehrmacht

They look ridiculous lol

The Prussians were basically the Spartans of Europe!!

Antonio Cabezas A Damm stupid pickelhaube or Marching stechschritt doesent make a German or prussian. Thats a joke, they dress like Halloween Ernsthaft, lass es dir von einem deutschen gesagt sein. Das sind nur Leute die sich als Preußen verkleiden.

Jawhol!

@Gunther H.G. Geick Niemand jucken die scheiß Preußen. Diese degenerierten Nordlostler können nur eins, uns auf der Kasse sitzen. Nur weil hier ein paar Reenactor meinen ne Pickelhaube zu tragen, macht das die noch lang nicht preußisch. Mal davon abgesehen, ob man sich so überhaupt nennen lassen will, grenzt ja an ner Beleidigung.

Because using outdated military doctrines of prussia makes you german ?

@@Alex-jf8mw Ja man hast du Recht die haben ausserdem kein deutsches Blut

To be fair though, Chile didn't lose (and start, according to some) world wars.

Me too. I'm from Russia, Kaliningrad oblast (central part of former Ostpreußen) and while we have some Prussian heritage (like, for example, restored monument of duke Albrecht von Brandenburg-Ansbach, right in the center of Königsberg, near the Kant's grave) not much of it actually left after british airstrikes and soviet rule. It is really fascinating to see Kaiser's soldiers marching somewhere at the other side of globe.

ahah golden

Alexa play Despacito

Victor Lamberty yeah, that Germans in Chile are refugee nazis After ww2

@@Alex-jf8mw That and probably some settlers from before aswell.

Yeah, not anymore. Everyone who fighted in Germany is dead now. Killed by bullet or died normally. doesnt matter

Alex S. Wrong man, they started to colonize the south of the country way before wwi, invited by the government of those days to populate the area and avoid some pretentious from Argentina. Nowadays Argentina has like 40 million citizens? Chile is 17, so imagine those days the need to make country and use it!

@@Alex-jf8mw germans came to chile way before the ww2 they were brought as colonist for the south part of chile

Hannibal ad Portas AR AD I like Prussian marches, but I’m not not an elitist prick like you. Not everyone likes those marches, and I understand why.

You do know that Prussia wasn't a dictatorial state right? It was a rather free place most of it's history. And most of it's marches we're written long before the Nazis.

@@general8191 it was a military with a state in its later years 1700s to 19th century

@@witty2898 Yep, and it managed to make an empire out of a bunch of insignificant states and create a strong and responsible bureocracy.

Ironically the Chilean navy is heavily rooted in the British tradition from the very beginning with Lord Cochrane.

Croatians are everywhere in Chile. Great people. In fact Magallanes is a whole region located in chilean Patagonia...

yeah lots of Croatian Nazi's went to hide there after the war

Now its full of colombians and haitians

Punta Arenas?

Not accurate. Magallanes is not a city, but the strait connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and the name of the Chilean region where the strait is located. The only major city there is Punta Arenas. Croatian immigration was big in the late 19th and early 20th century, specially in Punta Arenas, but the city is far from "completely Croatian". They're still the biggest and most influential expat community: I'd say 10%-20% of the people down there bear a Croatian surname.

We haven't lost a one, so nope.

They respect traditions but not human rights.

@@furiouslobster7912 same xd

... do you not know history? There are German Towns in South America, NAZI war criminals escaped to south america. Josef Mengele died of a stroke in Brazil.

German was arguably the best army in the world and so British was the best navy in the world. Always learn from the best.

Japan took more influence from the French and British and not Prussia or Germany.

IJN Kongou was build in Britain. The Japanese did a mistake buying those 25mm AA guns from the French though ... especially since they had the ballistically better Pom-Pom before.

@@muhammadfathonihanif5500apologies for my german spelling..... yes the weirmacht in ww2 for example was indeed an amazing force, however to say its the best is arguable. They were extremely good, but despite their ausfragtachtique 'mission command' giving flexibility at lower to medium command levels, this did not always follow through to logistics and upper command.......however they are a good model to emulate......the British Army on the other hand has always been small, but punches above its weight so in some respects they can be described as the best army in the world! You pays your money and you takes your chance!

Karl P admiral Cochrane gave his services to the Chilean navy after leaving the Royal Navy in the early 1820s to help fight for independence from Spain, after successfully defeating Spanish fleets and gaining enternal gratitude and respect in chile, he went to Brazil to help get them free of the Portuguese, he was also successful in this regard, winning against the Portuguese navy with his cobbled together Brazilian navy, about a decade later he went to Greece to fight for independence from the ottomans, also as a naval commander. The man led an interesting life en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cochrane,_10th_Earl_of_Dundonald

That's right mate, lord Cochrane was brought to Chile on 1818 to work as an advisor for the chilean navy, he put order on the institution and applied the british model, he also rose the ranks to commander in chief of the navy and took part in the blockade of spanish forces in El Callao, it's considered to be the father of the chilean navy, greetings from chile mate

Chile was built as a country looking at the English, fiscal discipline and politics. The navy was created by Lord Thomas Cochrane. the army of chile was instructed by the Germans, and the army also received that influence in the ceremonies but maintains the spirit of the United Kingdom army, in it they sound bagpipes in official ceremonies. Chile is a melting pot of cultures and has tried to feed on the best existing in the world. Carabineros de Chile takes as a doctrine the honorability and loyalty to the homeland of the Spanish conquerors.

Germany had the best army at the time British had the best navy. So why not copy from the best.

Another thing, Chilean navy take Croatian song "To battle, to battle!" (from opera Nikola Šubić Zrinski) as his anthem They simply take best of that time and they kipped. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grRlhNdytM6tY4E.html And Japaneses adore this song

Yep, me too. I want to see that country now.

Fucking A.

We are waiting you! 💋

If you go during winter (the parade is in winter) you can pretend that the Andes is "The Wall" (GoT reference) too... XD Specially since it is argentina, "the others" on the other side of the Andes... ;) Good skiing as well.

Welcome to Santiago of Chile! This marches is in September 19th. During the Independence day!

Better in O'Higgins park, before September 18 ;)

Hopefully Chileans won’t have an Angela Merkel to destroy all those traditions. Long live Chile

@@llanamejia They had one: Bachelet

couldnt say it better. and yeah its sad.

It helps with discipline but it certainly isn't the only method for good discipline and probably isn't the best or most efficient way.

All that "marching and saluting stuff" gives an organization a "team" feeling, and having more of it causes strengthening of that feeling. It may not be "Esprit de Corps" in the military sense, but it helps, when the organization has a purpose, like an army. This is why there is singing and exercise/stretching routines which resemble dances in some Japanese factories...and it works, improving productivity. Many cultures have their traditional dances, as well as patriotic songs. It wasn't deliberately figured out to do it that way, it was just noticed that it works. So there is still singing and dancing in various groups. In the military, the use of singing(chanting, actually) has been used for millenia, because it works - and the British and Prussians had lots of marching songs, and also traditions of having effective militaries. In the US, we have it in colleges, and this is one reason that college grads are thought to be more effective, because they think about problems as a challenge for a team, and will ask for help, or delegate jobs more readily. Those indoctrinated with the "Rugged Individualist" approach can be beaten by the ones that cooperate.

With no war in sight, what else is there to do but practice

@@mikeowen657 Bolivia, or more specifically, Evo Morales still wants that ocean back, at the same time, Argentina is anything but a serious country, we were at the brink of the most devastating war in south america had ever seen in 1978 because of the Beagle conflict, we can't ever leave our guard down. But thank god we are constantly upgrading the army with top-notch technology so we have a chance, just some weeks ago we confirmed the purchase of the Israely Trophy APS for our 200 Leopard 2A4 tanks

Sar Jim: no sólo me emplea tiempo en preparar un desfile; sino, también, en preparar mejores soldados, bien entrenados y bien equipados con tecnología actual. Si sabes de historia, aunque nuestra población es pequeña, si tuvieremos que estar en un conflicto bélico, nuestros soldados serían como los griegos frente a los persas en la batalla de Maratón.

Not so unique compared to the similar device on any K98 ( model 98) Mauser......maybe unique in 1895.

it is a magnificent weapon , when you pull the bolt it almost make no sound it seems it came out of the factory yesterday.

actually chile is 5° in PIB but i get your point n.n

Chilean people are not very conservative at all

@@gueparney I have to disagree, chileans aren't very modern thinking to be honest, we usually like our current "comfortable" life, I live in Chile and as much as I like it, I don't like the staleness in which the country is in Yes it is moving forward, but slowly and always after other developed countries have taken the greatest risks

@Johannes Gutenberg Running when they see Russians?

ney houston political spectrum is different in their country

"... so powerful..." (?)

Lol

@@yomauser so powerful

Brazil: I'm a joke to you?!

It is extraordinary

The southern region of Chile is what it is thanks to German immigration during the last century. Cities as Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Valdivia , Osorno and Puerto Montt maintain the German tradition.

That's right, Chille and Germany have always had good relations, at the beginning of the 20th century Chile asked German settlers to help him populate the south of Chile, although later Italian, French, Spanish and English settlers arrived, the Germans left more mark on the country especially in the city of Valdivia.

We, Chileans really love and respect Germany. I now live in USA, but I never forget the German traditions I learned in Chile. I even named my daughter after my best friend whose parents were Germans.

Just go into a "Jumbo" ore a hardware store in Chile and you will see quite a lot of german products!

Indeed, well put. No more brother wars. Be well

Not only chile, colombian and argentinian armies aswell.

lot of nazis fled to these countries after WWII, so not a real big surprise.

No, the Colombian army is like the Vietnam Army, Brazilian Army. Specialized in combat in the jungle, Because of the narcos and guerrillas producers of cocaine they hide there

Alex Postma Chile’s German connections predate the nazis

@LE. And very proudly so. We like to say that Chile is the world custodian of Prussian military traditions.
