Journey back to the brink of history with us, where the fate of the West dangled precariously during the Siege of Vienna in 1683. Feel the intensity of the Ottomans' siege and Vienna's dire straits as we recount the arrival of Jan Sobieski and his famed Winged Hussars. Their legendary charge, the largest in history, didn't just shift the tide of battle—it signaled the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's decline and left a cultural imprint that echoes to this day, even inspiring Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth.Support the show:
