The battle of Teutoburg forest was one of the most pivotal battles for roman control of Germania. At Teutoburg forest, the Roman occupation column was first deceived by the roman auxiliary commander, Arminius, into believing his force had made contact with enemy rebels. Then as they rushed to Arminiuses aid they were instead ambushed by Arminius, who was now leading the Germanic tribes in their uprising.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
