Kahlenberg Hill (1683 A.D.) On the night of September 11, 1683, the King of Poland, Jan III Sobieski, with his army climbs the steep slopes of Kahlenberg and deploys a Polish 40 thousand strong army! On their way to the top of the hill they get the devastating news about 30 thousand Christian civilian hostages, including women and children being barbarically murdered in captivity by Ottomans! This causes extreme rage within the Polish military ranks and a furious craving for immediate retaliation and vengeance! On the next day at dawn a massive artillery barrage of tens of thousands of shells per hour from cannons and muskets hit the Ottoman army! Then the Polish calvary charge of 20 thousand heavy riders including 3 thousand elite Winged Hussars! Within 3 hours of the Polish onslaught over 40 thousand Ottomans were killed while thousands drowned trying to escape in the Danube in panic and chaos! When the Polish Leader entered Vienna he was quoted as saying, “We came, we saw, God conquered.”

Christian / Islamic Wars September 11, 1683
The Polish Army under King John Sobieski III reached the heights over viewing Vienna! In top secrecy and in a downpour of rain and lightnings more than 30000 winged hussars and dragoons climbed the steep slopes of Kahlenberg and deployed their formations and cannons on top of the mountains! On the next day a massive artillery barrage with tens of thousands of bullets and shells per hour from muskets and cannons hit the Islamic invaders! At 1800 hours John Sobieski III gives the order to attack to 20000 heavy riders and personally charges at the head of the assault! The Islamic Ottoman army was defeated! Although it took many more centuries and war efforts from a united Europe, the Battle of Vienna broke the back of Jihad and proved to be the beginning of the end of the Islamic occupation of the Christian world!
