He could have won by at least considering the warnings of all the people who told him Arminius was going to betray him.

If he stayed encamped for another day or so. Forcing the Germans to assault or causing their breakup given how fractured they were.
That or requesting reinforcements.

Varus was a retard who should have never been in charge of a single legion in the first place

If he had been smart enough to not use auxiliaries from the very area he was attacking, and trusted a man from there with helping his army, yes.

>>2244322
It's not necessarily a bad thing to use auxiliaries from places you're attacking. They know the turf, how the people there fight, that's valuable as hell. The problem is giving them a reason to actually do so. The germanic soldiers the romans had were given no good reason to fight other than for gold, and it seems that they valued something else more than that. Napoleon's soldiers found they could bolster their own ranks with men from territory they marched in, because folks had a good reason to prefer napoleon to their lords.

>tfw everyone talks about Teutoburg Forest and how the germans just destroyed the Romans
>No one ever talks about Germanicus and the campaigns of assrape that he put on the germans
>Also how Arminus was eventually killed by his fellow Germans

Damage control at best, the Romans left Germania and retreated to the Limes, Germania stayed independent and centuries later toppled the Empire.

Celtic ambush on pic i think

Please negrito, Germania Magna was what the battle was about, and the Germanics won. Rome retreated to the Limes.

>>2242320

Yes, easily. He lost because his German "allies" betrayed and ambushed him. The lesson is: Always kill all G*rms.

But didnt forest made romans impossible to form formations and fight properly?
Germans never had a potential to won battle against them on a field

>Could have Varus won?
Yeah, by not being a dumb idiot and listening to Arminius' uncle/step-father Segestes' warning that the tribes were about to rebel.
