About this episode
Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorian 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. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
