AlienFTM Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No, no the one on 09/09/09 when three Roman Legions, totalling nearly 20,000 men were ambushed and massacred by German tribesmen. 2 - 6 April 1945. 7 and 11 Armd Divs needed to cross the Teutoburgerwald prior to crossing the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

Tony B Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Wasn't that when The Roman emperor , which ever one, shouted Cassuis Cassuis where are my legions? Callicasical edcachun see? Bit of checking. It was Emporor Augustus who rent his garments and exclaimed Varus, Varus where are my legions? Arminiius the Germanic leader led the legions into the forest and through hit and run tactics wore them down, finally defeating them in a set battle. Augustus' concern was that Varius had lost virtually all the fighting force Rome had at the time. Edited April 5, 2012 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
