The Waterloo Collection: Cavalry Charge – La Haie Sainte & Plancenoit (DVD)

 
From the publishers:
The period from mid-afternoon until early evening on that terrible Sunday was the time, as Wellington described it, of 'hard pounding'. The three programmes on this disc cover the massed French cavalry attacks led by Marshal Ney, the battle fought by the Kings German Legion and the 95th Rifles to hold La Haie Sainte and the adjacent sand pit. The Prussian march to Plancenoit and the bloody battle fought in and around the village is the subject of the third programme.
 
This series of documentaries is a major project that will chart the entire 1815 Waterloo Campaign in detail, from Napoleon's return to France through the various battles and engagements to the pursuit to Paris and Napoleon's final abdication. The whole suite will total over five hours of programmes. Each programme is filmed on the ground where the particular phase of battle was fought, fusing tactics and battlegrounds with re-enactment action and maps and diagrams.
