they kind of fought all over europe and they were renowned as some of man. there are actually stories, where they needed some of the rifleman to treat, and left their bodies hanging there. some of these were saying, yes, there was atrocities committed, put the stories grow, and grow, and grow. there are stories for these newspapers, and they're talking about how these mercenaries were bloodthirsty, that they eight babies, that they were terrible marauders. the british, even, talk about the hessians pennant for looting, and they do a lot of looting throughout new jersey. but, they weren't these mercenaries. there were actually many germans, on the american sides, and the more you get into what happens today, but it's interesting, after the battle there, washington captured 900 of them, and it's an amazing thing, because after what happened some of the men who are killed, after the surrender at new york, you would think that the americans could take their vengeance on these men, and put them to death, or commit atrocities themselves, but washington orders, no

they kind of fought all over europe. and they were renowned as some of the best-disciplined, most-professional troops in the world. and they come to america, and you can imagine, already, i mean, just the cultural difference that these men were german. many of them didn't speak english. the -- now, all the troops at trenton in 1776 were actually hessians and many of them were -- were grenadiers. and if you ever go to a reenactment and see a trenton or see a hessian reenactor, you can see how intimidating they look. they were usually extremely tall men. and you can imagine with their repetition as fierce fighters. and there were cases of them taking liberties. at the battle of new york, the hessians overrun some of the americans. in bayonet, many of the wounded men. and you actually -- their stories that they actually bayonetted some of the riflemen to trees and left their bodies hanging there. and -- and some of these things. yes, there were atrocities committed. but then, the stories kind of grow and grow and grow to wh

did most go back to europe after the war was over? you know, we think of expeditionary forces, you know, that the united states sends to other places. majority of the men that you're going to send overseas or whatever are going to be coming back, except those who are killed or -- but what about the hessians? were they eager to head back home to germany, or do you think some of them stayed over here? most of you got this right. 90% of you say no. 10% of you say yes. you know, most of them are going to return. about 60% of them go back. a large percentage of them are going to end up staying here in the united states. i mentioned there are germans here in america. many of them actually like it here. they're going to basically meld into the population. a lot of people actually have hessian ancestors. there was a tv show about rob lowe. one of his ancestors is one of the hessians at trenton, which is kind of interesting. okay, we're getting close to the end here. did george washington ride up in front of the american troops come within 30

or the ref russians in europe in 20 it will. he was trying to garner support and use -- with wind beating in their faced able tomorrow to frrm pull that from the jaws of defeat. that is accurate. this campaign, the battle for trenton and for instanceton, is going to be a defining moment of the american revolution, and it was against all odds in and washington and his band of men were successful. this is probably the lowest ebb of the cause of the revolution and i do think it's still a very valuable representation. it's inspiring, and hopefully it gets people to want to learn more about the campaign. my biggest complaint is that this becomes so famous that people often think of the crossing, and a lot of people don't know what he did -- there were have you -- that had to be wan and washington is being -- do the is first version hang today in the metropolitan museum of art? >> you'll see the question pop up and now there are many different copies of this painting that have -- have gone around and like i said you'll see prints of t
