Polish heavy cavalry and Teutonic Knights clashing at the Battle of Grunwald in 1410, depicted in Polish movie Krzyżacy (1960). No CGI, no grey filter. Multitude of extras and historically accurate colorful banners instead, helping to recognize the armies in the dust.

Birds of prey are extremely aristocratic. One of my favorite lesser known birds of prey are honey buzzards who specialize in raiding and destroying nests of wasps and hornets. Even the big Asian hornets are completely powerless against this mighty bird!

The movie Vlad Tepes (1979) feels so different from modern movies because Vlad Dracula never doubts himself or has regrets. From start to finish he is firm in his belief that he has to unleash terror on the enemies of his land. Unbreakable, unyielding.

Romanian actor Stefan Sileanu in movie Vlad Țepeș (1979). He has such striking physical resemblance to real historic Vlad Dracula and looked really imposing and intimidating in the role. You knew that every time he got angry, many people are going to get impaled.

This is how Alsatian language sounds. I found a rare video of football manager Arsène Wenger speaking in his native Alsatian. The former Arsenal manager grew up in a small village of Duttlenheim, where everybody spoke Alsatian, and only learned French in school.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie Vlad Tepes (1979) is when Vlad Dracula confronts the treacherous boyars for squandering away the lands ruled by his grandfather Mircea the Elder. They realize right away he will not be like the weak rulers before.

Another epic history movie produced in Eastern Europe. The movie Skanderbeg (1953) was produced as a joint Albanian-Soviet production to commemorate Albanian medieval hero. This scene shows the Siege of Krujë in 1450, where a large Ottoman army was repelled.
