In tonight’s slow descent through history, we follow the brutal, bitterly pointless life of a Napoleonic soldier. From forced conscription and lice-ridden camps to frostbite in Russia and forgotten death in a tavern attic, this episode explores the war that promised glory and delivered silence.

Expect no romance. No glory. Just mud, blood, and the quiet unraveling of a man crushed by empire, forgotten by peace, and remembered by no one.

If you’re still awake at the end, you’re stronger than most.
