The Peasant' War Part 2: Bloodbath

The Peasants' War was the largest peasant uprising prior to the French Revolution.  Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people organise a labour strike and dare to demand a measure of fairness.  They use the ideas of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation to do it.  Luther wants nothing to do with the rebels, and supports the German nobles in killing these "mad dogs".  The heavy cavalry and the landsknecht armies of the Swabian League are on the march, and this rebellion is about to turn into a war.
