Talk:Battle of Sisak

message: Fascinating how numbers can vary: Figures for the     Turks: 10,000 - 38,000   (T. A. Mursalo,In search of a better life,1981, p.21) -  40,000 ( Stormfront - postings); Turkish casualties: 2,000 (Ivo Omrčanin: Military history of Croatia‎, Bryn Mawr, Pa.: Dorrance,1984 p.90)  - 20,000 (German WP)
Christians: 4,000 - 5,800 troops;   just 40 - 50 casualties
"5000 Slovenian men led by Count Andrej Turjaški defeated 40.000 strong Turk army:
It is interesting to note that the deciding battle with Andrej Turjaški leading the charge lasted a mere hour in which 10.000 Turks were dead including their commander Hasan Predojevic (who was not a Turk by birth, but was made a Turk Pasha - one of the many Janichars, i.e. white children kidnapped or forcefully taken away from their parents at a young age in Ottoman occupied territories to brain wash and train them to become Turk soldiers).
This battle was a classic case of Turkish arrogance where they were so sure of their win because of their overwhelming numbers they got slaughtered instead. The Turks were pounded from the front and the flanks and could not retreat back down the bridge on Kolpa because the Slovenian cavalry of the Carniola knight Adam Ravbar who was part of the Slovenian contingent managed to carve deep through the enemy's ranks and occupy the bridge. The Turks were surrounded unable to go forward or retreat. Amidst their panic they started to jump into the river Kolpa to save themselves, but most of them were caught and slaughtered at the embankments of the river, on the bridge itself or in the water. Many drowned for lack of swimming skills as well"  OR ANOTHER posting, same address:
"In the year 1591 Hasan Predojevic became leader of Turks in Bosnia, he had ambitions to conquer Vojna Krajina and later Slovenia (Carniola and Styria). He counquered the fortress of Bihac near river Una in 1592 on the border of Vojna Krajina, he got only the fortress of Sisak left. If they would won there then Slovenia would fall very quickly. On 15th of June 1593 Hasan and 40.000 Turks started the siege of Sisak. 7 days later on the 22nd of June 1593 Andrej Turjaski arrived from Slovenia with Slovenian army and some Croats and Germans to help. He had an army of 4.000 - 5.000 men and was heavily outnumbered. Turks atacked over the bridge from the left side of Kolpa river, Andrej Turjaski sent his cavalry into fight and pushed the Turks back to the brigde. When he saw that the Turks are retreating he sent the rest of his army into fight. Chaos and disorder started in the Turkish army, the bridge over Kolpa river was to small for Turks to retreat. Many of them tried to swim over the river but almoust all of them drowned including their leader Hasan Predojevic. Slovenians won the battle and around 10.000 Turks were dead."2 Stormfront -postings--Marschner (talk) 11:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: , we normally use flag and flagicon templates for these cases. The flag you added used to be a parameter of those templates, but it was removed from Template:Country data Ottoman Empire, because those flags were deemed to be fictitious and unsourced. Do you have any reason to believe that the flag you added is not a made-up one, but actually used by the Ottoman Empire during those centuries? If so, you may consider chiming in the discussion at Template talk:Country data Ottoman Empire.
