Sabaton don't take sides, they simply tell war stories. They've told stories about Nazis, Russians, Americans and every nation in between, a whole album on Sweden's Era of Great Power 1611-1721, The Final Solution, Hitler, Lawrence of Arabia, The Fall of Berlin etc etc. Keep exploring, you'll find out.
this
exactly this!
In one case a man who served on two sides out to Vietnam!
The Final Solution, a tribute to the slaughtered. *Salute*
@@dragonsword7370 well, three army's. Finland, Germany and the us.
The ghost division was a tank division that moved so fast even its commanders couldn't keep track of them. The 7th Panzer Division.
My great grandfather was a office in the 7th for a year
@@philswift8311 That's wild fam.
@@Godspeed1756 he was transferred to the 501st heavy tank battalion in 43
@@philswift8311 Stalking Tigers
Under Gen. Erwin Rommel - 1940 advance through the Ardennes which the French thought was impassable. Rommel is known for his Afrika Korps but he should be known for his WW1 victories which had very few casualties on BOTH sides. Ghost Division was also blamed for several massacres of POW's in France and then the Soviet Union (when Rommel was not present although he preferred to lead at the front).
The "Ghost Division" was a German panzer division (under command of Erwin Rommel) which participated in the invasion of France (where they got their nickname). Panzers (german for tanks) were usually known as ridiculously fast units and the infantry couldn't keep up with them at all unless they had some mechanized units. And this particular division was notorious for disappearing before an advance and reappearing miles in enemy territory after a while (most notably 200 miles in one day). Neither the German command nor the French knew where it was at any point in time as long as they were advancing. That is why the French gave them the nickname "Division fantôme" --- (literal translation from french - Ghost division)
Truly terrifying
Girls and Panzers approves
@@nurnadhirah7893 Hehehe
Bacaps3r Gaming the Germans also called the 7th PzDiv the Ghost Division because it scared them because they didn’t know were they were and they were out running the logistics.
@@nurnadhirah7893 Ah I see you're a woman of culture as well
@@joaquincobas2223 female weebs exist, bro
For a couple of rappers, you guys are pretty damn insightful and are quite astute. Sabaton is a thinking mans band and you will definitely get a history lesson every time you listen to them!
Well thank you, that means alot to us
@@Hollywood6IX Also you hella corect about Sabaton being a Shoe. Actually more like a Military Boot called Sabat or Sabatons which was commonly used amongst swedish medeval military
That's kinda mean bro this "for a couple of rappers" shit may be seen as you are looking down on rappers
@@RMadaraPlay That was my first thought too.
@@Hollywood6IX you should check channel "Sabaton history"... they speak more of each song and explain certain battle that has been told about in the song.
czcams.com/channels/aG4CBbZih6nLzD08bTBGfw.html
Sabaton are SWEDISH 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Yes
hilsener fra Norge
@@vinnie_2000 Hälsningar från Sverige 👍
The panzer elite is german, but you sure can be proud of Sabaton😉
@@brandnewrock8375 känns konstigt att se någon som pratar svenska 😂
Good people can fight for the wrong side, and martial prowess and glory doesn't care about sides.
Sabaton honor the soldiers, not the ideologies.
They're not pro Nazi at all. They did songs honoring Soviet soldiers, Spartans, Americans, polish etc
Funny enough the Spartans were the good side when you talk about most wars with Athens and I’m glad they usually knocked the shit out of Athens because they were the first people to invent the idea of taking Hostages
A great example of this is "no bullets fly"
During war there is no right or wrong. You only fight for what you think is right and what your country wants.
@@Dr.stein55 reminds me of this quote
"There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander."
@@theirishviking9278 yes, exactly. Thats perfect
A rough quote from Sabaton (forgive me I can't recall which member said this) "we do not glorify war, death or nationalism. We tell stories in our own way."
In response to the swastika noticed in the footage - Sabaton are documenting history, when you document history, you must not edit the history. You show history as it happened, swastikas included, otherwise we will never learn from it.
Love the videos guys! \m/ Keep reacting to sabaton - they're an amazing band!! :)
They (Sabaton) dont give a fck if anyone thinks they glorify war nazis etc. They just dont.
or as in another interview:
"We dont do politics,ask people smarter then us"
"We don't take sides we just think their are parts of History thay shouldn't be forgotten"
People are used to modified history lessons in which they glorify their own actions and make the Germans look like monsters with a horrible sign called swastika.
@@Mr.Riffian i dont know what stuff you are in but many Germans but more precisely the German Government were monsters back then
@@bastik.3011 when he was making his response I think he was just talking about the soldiers doing their jobs not the people giving them the order
The drummer is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish
What a lucky guy
Though the drummer on Art of War is Daniel Mullback, not Hannes van Dahl
Why is this the first comment anyone posts on a Sabaton reaction?
Nobody fucking cares... why does this have to be under every reaction video, good for Hannes, now leave his personal life be
@@countrytownify both bands are pretty popular and reacting to Nightwish is a popular trend among reaction chanels (there's pretty good reason to that,lol), and thus you have two people from two very popular bands that are connected to each other, and it's a fun fact, I guess.
The main thing about this song id like to say is that sabaton doesn’t glorify any one side of any conflict, they do these songs to draw attention to actions done, and different things from all sides from history. It was just so amazing, since because this division was the first in history to go so fast that even the commanders lost contact with the division. You’ll find sabaton will cover any part of military history, no matter which side they are on.
And when they do its from the perspective of a soldier
.Swedish band dedicated to educating.
..and no, in much of the world, it's not what you signed up for. It's what you had to do. You got a letter.
Learrn your history. It's not a subject at school. It's what you are and why you are. It's lessons we need to learn if we don't want to go through it all again. And as you said, thank god we don't have to... hopefully
"know your history, or be damned to repeat it" right?
6:57 those are actually headphones for tank commanders to communicate to headquarters
And to communicate with their own crews. Tanks is a big loud metaphor box with big engines and bullets and bombs blasting off their hull.
Gets a wee noisy ^.-.^
Not to communicate with the headquaters. There's no way to communicate with the headquaters. That's to communicate with with other tank crews and messages from the radio operator that get messages to and from other tanks as well as their generals.
Generals communicate with headquaters differently at that as well.
Blitzkrieg
@@venomtailOG actually all members of a tank communicated with each other. the tank leader had medium transmitter to communicate with other tanks leaders of the same team, and tank team leader had even bigger radio to comminucate with HQ.
@@venomtailOG yes there is a way to radio the gefechtstand ( headquarters )
the command tank had a big antenna which could transmit tens of kilometers to the back of the line
they communicated in the tank, between the tank and up to division command
one of the many reasons they rolled over france was their communication and the ability for a company commander to radio the stuka above him and telling him where exactly to put his bomb
"sabaton" is the English word for that part of a medieval full-plate armor that covers the foot. You can see that thing drawn over the letter S in the Sabaton logo.
Comes from the French word 'Sabot' ...
Indeed. That guy was pretty close with gis shoe-guess.
The footage is Historical and the song is about a real historical event.
Just like (almost) all Sabaton Songs.
Not a Panther
*looks at metal machine*
@@BigBrother_316 I think that is the only one that isn't centered on history. Love that song too
@@scottthompson3670 there is also 7734, Metal Ripper and Nightchild that are not about anything historical
@@skyrocks12 I thought 7734 was
Sabaton's music mostly are about war's and military stuff that has been. They're songs can be from all over the place. They are from Sweden btw.
As far as your comment “they got what they signed up for” goes, it wasn’t like that, in Germany and the Soviet Union you either fought or you die. Whether it be from the enemy or your own country. That’s how real it was. You had no choice but to take your chances in combat or die a disgraced man.
Sabaton: how badass do we want ghost division to be?
Also sabaton: *yes*
sabaton is a part of the armor that goes near the feet (if I remember correctly), and the band is swedish, every song of then refers to an historic war moment, but they do the songs in a way to celebrate the soldiers who fought the wars, not the countries or ideolegies wich were in the war and they don't present political sides on them, the brazilian army adopted the song they made about 3 brazilians who fought during WW II into the oficial army songs
by the way, sugestions for next sabaton songs: 40-1, bismarck, fields of verdun or gott mitt uns
and I forgot, they have a channel exclusive only to talk about the history wich they present on their songs
@@Corvoreviews almost every song. They have the Metalizer album that bucks that trend. Shadows is on that album about LOTR Nazgul or Wring Wraiths.
@@danielrupp7578 I was going to mention that, but I remember joaquin once said that the metalizer album was more a tribute album, so I focused more on where they do invest their knoledge and where their main motivation is
@@Corvoreviews Joakim*, but yeah, Pär said Metalizer is an album as tribute to the world of metal, not really about history. The concept album of Metalizer came out in 2001 and the official album was released in 2007, thus making it their first album ever.
What is the name of the song with the brazillians?
What shocks me the most is the lack of history knowledge of these two
i agree its a shame
I did a triple take at 10:44 - 10:51... Germany did NOT fight to take over the world. Not in WWI... And despite "popular opinion", not in WWII either.
SAME!
The fact he said... the headphones had to be modern shocked me so badly... Like I can stand people not knowing history kinda, but god damn that is just.... really bad.
I can understand what you're trying to say but the thing is you can't expect everyone to just know what you know
These guys probably know stuff that even I don't know, and it's stuff like this that gives them interest to understand and or to know more about
"you signed up for it"
yeah no.
Yeah, they had this thing called 'the draft' back then.
@@brigidtheirish technically we still do have it
The Germans still have conscription
@@brigidtheirishalso A LOT of men wanted to go
@@Alpah-77 A lot of Americans. Not sure about Germans.
You need to see this song live! Sabaton Ghost Division Live in Woodstock (Poland) 2012... They are amazing live band!! all their songs are about war history they tell story´s on their songs if you put the lirycs on their song some of them even make you cry or make you tear up with the meaning, please react to more Sabaton and great reaction btw!!
40:1 from the same concert.
Not sure if others have said already but Sabaton actually has a history channel (Sabaton history) where they go in depth about the history behind the song and the process behind making the song
Sabaton is a Swedish heavy metal band. Amazing! Seen them live 5 times!
as usual better react to live versions, they did this song in poland in front of hundret thousend dancing people XD only the swedish band sabaton can sing about the german 7th panzer division in poland :)
EXPECT bismark please react to the official bismark vidio from sabaton its amazing xD
Sabaton doesn't glorify but they do put historical knowledge at the finger tips and ears of those that may not know much about significant wars, and people. Most of their songs are based on lesser known facts of WWII, WWI, and earlier. Btw i found y'all by looking at tool reactions, great channel keep up the excellent work
On a side note if you want real work out music check out amon amarth, or orden ogen(may have misspelled it) I'd love to see a reaction to either.
they do glorify and they do it right. 7th division did a great military achievement and won this recognition. It doesn't have anything to do with politics.
Sabaton - The Attack of The Dead Men, The End of The War To End Wars
Sabaton is my absolute favourite band, so glad you guys are checking them out! As others have said, it's important to note that these guys don't glorify War, they've gone out there and said that they just want to teach about historical events and ensure that they're not forgotten!
A Sabton song (and video) I think perfect for the two of you:
Sabaton - To Hell and back (Official Music Video)
It shows everything about Sabaton: Heavy music, powerful history and a great message.
Try it, you won't be disappointed.
As a veteran with PTSD and many friends with even greater severity than I, To Hell and Back is SPOT-ON
@@samuelengle3773 I love To Hell and back. You should look up Soldier Hard-See the Light.
Manowar- Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy in Eight Parts is an epic power metal song.
Beyond Epic.
It's a Swedish band. (Floor Jansen is married to the drummer......)
And they sing about every type of war and heroism from all over the world with accurate historical value.
They even have their own historical channel on youtube that explains their videos.
There's been multiple documentaries that have presented WW2 and even Peter Jackson's WW1 footage (They Shall Not Grow Old) as colorised and revamped to look more modern. Sabaton is basically a history lesson in each and every song. Check out Bismark/Fields of Verdun/Seven Pillars of Wisdom/Attack of the Dead Men for some dope music videos. That said, you will learn something historic from every one of their songs. Much love!
82nd All the Way or Devil Dogs both by Sabaton
@@jacobturner5213 Maaaan both of those are INSANELY catchy. I can' wait for the next Sabaton vid, whatever it is, lol
Welcome to the sabaton army guys! This is battle metal and I’m looking forward to your Journey through there catalog. It’s isn’t a bad some among them. There are favorites and some I like more then others. They are Swedish band and they take events from history and make songs about it. They don’t glorifying war but they believe we should never forget what happened in the past so we never repeat it.
The Ghost Division was the 7th Panzer(tank) Division under the command of Erwin Rommel. They moved so fast that neither the French or the German officers knew where they were.
That guy with the beats headphones is (if i remember correctly) Otto Carius the best german tank ace with around 150 confirmed destroyed enemy combat vehicles and one plane. He actually shot down a plane with a Tiger Tanks Main gun because „it annoyed him“ 😂
Imagine how confused his CO must have been when he claimed an aerial kill
"Tank boys" would be a spot on definition of Sabaton!😄 Their drummer is sitting on a tank on their shows! (At least on the latest tour). They also have tanks in their music video, "Primo Victoria" (about D-day 1944). You should check that out. Also check out "Bismarck"(about the German battleship, WW2. Awesome music video!), "Fields of Verdun" (about the battle of Verdun, WW1), "To hell and back" (about an American war hero, WW2).
The lead vocalist of SABATON featured on a track from BABYMETAL's latest album. Song is called "Oh Majinai". Check it.
Let's goooo! Sabaton FTW! I'll probably make a follow up comment after the video.
Despite quite a lot of their songs being about the glory of fighting the Nazis, some people still think they are Nazi apologists because of songs like this...
......People are pretty stupid.
Indeed. This division was lead by Rommel. The ONLY nazi with a museum dedicated to his memory. Incredibly gifted tactician and oh yeah member of an attaempted assassination of Hitler.
Daniel Rupp ooh I didn’t know that!
Daniel Rupp one correction he wasn’t a nazi he was a German he did not agree with the nazi ideals but he wanted to fight for Germany anyways because it was his nation. You will find that he often opposed hitler and was even involved in a plot to kill hitler which resulted in him having to take his own life.
If you haven’t done it already, you should react to “Fields of Verdun” by Sabaton. That song is straight fire 🔥
Also, Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band. They're famous for the quality and themes of their songs, as well as taking a more objective look at the material. There are songs like Primo Victoria which is about the D-Day invasion in Normandy and features the line "Through the gates of hell as we make our way to heaven through the Nazi lines! Primo Victoria![First Victory]" and Bismarck about the German battleship. Sabaton keeps the focus of their lyrics on people and battles, instead of the politics and belief systems.
A sabaton is the piece of armor that covers your feet in the medieval ages.
Also the headset on that German tank commander is exactly as I said, a headset for radio communication.
6:59
"Cant be that old if they have Corded headphones"
*Forgets that they had that during WWI, and the footage is WWII*
And there is no Good or Bad, Its all Perspective.
And most of the German army just fought because they had to. Not because they were Nazi's.
@@Clonetrooperz48 Same as in the UDSSR fight or get killed.
@Half life 3 In order to be Properly Recruited into the army, They needed to Seem like they were Nazi's.
Look at Michael Whitman for Example, Dressed as a Nazi, Shook Hitler's hand... But in the end, He wasn't a Nazi.
Along with Rommel and his men. They are Seen as Nazi's in the Modern day due to the poor Education systems we currently have on earth, But Rommel Nor his Men were Actually Nazi's.
@Half life 3 Hey, If we Start Talking about War Crimes and Atrocities, EVERY Side had done Unspeakable Things.
With the Soviet's Killing More Civilians compared to even the most Fanatic of Nazi's.
But are we Able to Agree on one thing...
We Should've just let The Fascists' and Communists Kill Each other, Instead of Us Democratic People.
@Half life 3 Glad we were Able to come to a Worthy Conclusion.
Angels calling starts with a cello,and Gallipoli uses a piano in it
The Ballad of Bull, fantastic piano-based piece.
You should see them live. The drummer sits in a tank. Lots of power.
I have seen Sabaton in concert twice! Highly recommend checking them out if you get a chance. Amazing live band
Ah Sabaton. I need to dedicate this to my dear giant marauding friend of the Nordic regions. Everytime I hear Sabaton, I think of him. 😊
Sabaton is hands down one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Their energy on stage lasts their entire performance.
I have SO much I could tell you about Sabaton but I'll make one short and quick statement. They are a historically inspired power metal group. They write songs based on history from every side of a conflict. If you want more, I suggest 82nd All The Way, a song about the most decorated soldier of WW1, Devil Dogs, a song about how the US Marine Corps earned their nickname, Fields of Verdun, a song about the longest single battle in recorded history, or Bismarck, a song about the battle of the Atlantic in WW2.
Yes!!!! One of my all time favorite bands, love this song!
You can't go wrong with Sabaton! Great reaction. I would absolutely love to see Bury Tomorrow - Choke reaction!
Sabaton is an amazing live show. I highly recommend seeing them at least once.
I became a big fan of this band. The mixing of history with music is amazing. Yall should check out Art of War by them
this song is worth to see live. highly recommended
Watch this song live at Woodstock! 550,000 fans singing this song with Sabaton
This was their show opener when we saw them live. EPIC
Head phones have only recently in a few generations become common for people . In ww2 they were cutting end gear and only high end equipment had them . The man on top of the tank was a commander he needs to communicate with all other tanks around him with those.
fun fact, if you plan or wish to see any of their concerts after covid is over, they always open with this song
Yes, they did open with Ghost Division during their 2022 North American tour. Lots of people took videos of these shows. Actually, the show opened with a short film about the Dough Boys, Americans who went to Europe to fight in WW1. This was an incredible experience, to watch old time films of the Dough Boys, from every race and walk of life, going to Europe to fight. When the narrator says that the Dough Boys "American resolve had ended the war," the audience was all clapping, at the same time that the old news reels on the screen showed Americans from 1918 (?) cheering the end of the war. We were cheering at the same time as people long dead, but both cheering the same thing. Americans did something right, helped people. Actually, for a moment, we could feel proud of US and what these guys accomplished. It ended with a call for a national monument in DC for the Dough Boys. THEN there was a pounding and flashing around the tank, and Ghost Division started. It was quite exciting! Also, the covid restrictions had been lifted. We all were just thrilled to be at a concert again.
Please guys... Green Jelly Three Little Pigs... and totally different:
Ne Obliviscaris - and Plague flowers the Kaleidoscope (Live)
With 3 little pigs please do the video cause that's the only way to watch
Nice suggestion. And the video + lyrics are funny as hell. Come on guys, react to Green Jelly!
On the other hand, they react only to patreon suggestions...so ...it's a waste of time to recommend new songs if you don't have money in your pockets. Pity!
Yes tanks in 1939-1945 have communication and they use headphones WOW.
Funny we still had headsets for vehicle communication back when I was in. Why fix something if its not broken?
Gotta see a live performance of them. Also they have a separate CZcams channel called Sabaton History where they have 10-20 minute videos talking about the history behind the song and the writing process. Personal favorite video is probably still to hell and back, their song about Audie Murphy, the most soilder from WW2 with the most medals awarded to a living soilder with 3 segments cut in it. With Audie himself in the movie he acted in, the band performing the song and an actor portrayed him locking himself in a hotel room detoxing.
More Sabaton please!
Sabaton doesn’t take sides in politics or religion. Their music focuses on military history. Stories that are slowly being lost to time. They tell the stories and leave out the politics which is a good thing
By the way, when Sabaton's Great War album came out last year it hit #4 on the iTunes album charts for about a week.
You should react to this song live at Woodstock, Poland.. awesoooome. It's rumoured that the audience is about 500.000 plus or something :)
Sabatons are the shoe bit of plate armour
Americans react to swedish band.
"I asume they are from Germany"
"Lets say euroean "
🤦🏼♂️😂
A Sabaton is the collection of plates covering the foot in a suit of medieval plate armour.
Sabaton has a series called “Sabaton History” where they go into more detail about their songs
Hey guys! Nice reaction and welcome to the Sabaton train lol. Other Sabaton songs I recommend are Night Witches, Inmate 4859, Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The Future of Warfare.
I'd also suggest songs from other bands like [Army of the Night and Armata Strigoi by Powerwolf], [Berserker and Go to Hell by Beast in Black], and [Phantom Divine and Ghost Opera by Kamelot].
You keep the amazing reactions coming bois :)
I don't know why there are so few reactions to the song Sparta by these guys, it's an AWESOME song to react to. So, there goes my recommendation, boys. Keep it up and peace!
A great reaction.
One thing about Sabaton, which ever side they're singing about, they always acknowledge that the actual soldiers, are actual people, separate to any cause or orders. "Through hell and back." and "Prima Victoria" (original version) would be great ones to react to.
they were so hype live! the drummer is on a tank lmaooo
Love me some Sabaton! Good choice with Ghost Division! Would love to see Amaranthe - GG6. I'd love to know what you think of it. Keep it up!
Will do and were gonna check out your suggestion
@@Hollywood6IX definitely gg6 haven't seen anywhere near enough people reacting to it or amaranthe in general!
@@Hollywood6IX Thanks so much!
The song 40:1 live in Poland (Woodstock) is fucking amazing!! A Swedish band singing about polish troops who stood against the german army for several days even though they were outnumbered 40:1.
A little info for you. Many have said they dont take sides but if you want to learn about their songs and the history behind their songs they have an entire CZcams channel "Sabaton History" Where they talk about the history.
A personal favorite song by them is a ballad, Ballad of Bull, its about a conscientious objector in WW2, Leslie "Bull" Alan who was a medic and refused to carry a rifle. The unit he was assigned to had to climb a steep cliff. Upon that cliff they were met with extreme resistance. Bull was the only one who defied the orders to retreat, he went up the cliff to recover the wounded. He carried them and improvised a way to hoist them down the cliff face. His actions saved the lives of 12 warriors that day. The enemy was known for shooting at medics with the big red cross, he was a marked man on top of that cliff. He was defenseless without a rifle, or grenades and yet he advanced upon the enemy to recover his brothers in arms.
In the end Sabaton sings about stories from war both the good and the bad parts, newer and old history. You guys are American and theres a ton of songs like "Lost Battalion" A WW1 song about a battalion trapped behind the enemy lines for months, "The Price of a Mile" a song about Audie Murphy Americans most decorated soldier IIRC, "No bullets fly" A song about a heavily damaged american B17 bomber escorted out of the fight by a German pilot who risked execution for his actions if he was caught, he escorted them out and over German AA guns flying close enough that German ground crews wouldnt shoot. "Devil Dogs" was a song about the USMC earning their nickname in WW1.
They even talk about the relatively unknown parts of history like in WW2 when Brazil sent troops who became known as "Smoking Snakes" to fight in Italy of the thousands deployed they lost 3 to the Germans, They found their bodies buried with full military honors and crosses inscribed in German were the words "Here lie 3 Brazilian heros" As the story goes their section was on patrol came upon a German Wehrmacht, not nazi but regular German soldiers, emplacement. They ambushed the position. Sending half of their team back to get reinforcements. They ran out of ammo, fixed bayoneted and charged the German position, the 3 of them fought to the last breath and fought with such ferocity that they earned the respect of the Germans. Because of their actions they were given that full honors burial and crosses.
I highly recommend doing some more of their songs, youll learn a lot about history. Only metal band ever honored by the church to the point a bishop in Poland bowed and presented a gift to them live during a concert. Brazil uses their Smoking Snakes song as a marching song. They dont shy away from the dark parts of history or the light parts and they embrace the history.
Sabaton is the best as a history nerd. Their songs ignite my history passion
‘This is workout music’... as I’m working out 😆
Hey guys Sabaton has another youtube channel where they teach the history behind their songs. its called Sabaton History @trashtalkers
Love your rection, above all you know what you reacted to,umlike others youtuber who dosent know what they reacted
7:01 yes those are indeed headphones, they where connected to the radio to communicate with both the crew inside the tank and other tanks
Yo tanks can be FAST. You see that one tank that looked like it threw on the nitros? Thing was MOVING.
Watch the sabaton history episode that explains the song after you hear a sabaton song ,each song has a history episode that gives the history behind the song and breaks down the lyrics
Fun fact: when Rommel was returning to the German front lines, the 7th panzer division vehicles that managed to keep up during the advance came behind a French convoy, instead of fighting Erwin Rommel politely asked the lead vehicle to surrender.
Dudes please sabaton bismark
Listen to Sabaton Resist and Bite. It's basically the historical counterpart to the events portrayed in this song
This channel doesnt have enough sabaton please put some more
I think others have already sufficiently covered filling you guys in regarding Sabaton and their lyrical material.
Still hoping to see these come up:
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope
Kamelot - Elizabeth (I, II, & III) (Live)
I loved the vid guys! Next you should check out Bismarck by Sabaton.
To answer your question about the footage. It is colorized war footage. The guy who made the fan video used footage from all the German fronts. The Ghost division was the ones who were at the forefront of the blitz through Europe. They got so far ahead the main forces were basically catching up.
7:05 are noise, canceling headphones, so whenever the tank fires, the sound doesn’t break your ear drums
German tanks had good communications between crew and other tanks. Commanders wore their headset like that so with one ear they can hear the radio and the other hear what is happening on the battlefield.
I think you're severely underestimated how technologically advanced they were in 1940. They had already started working on jet engines, rocket engines, mechanical computers and even vacuum tube computers. Radio and remote communication systems were not THAT new in WW2, and they definitely had access to headphones like the guy at 7:14.
@EpsteinsPlasticSurgeon I doubt that the Germans were all that technologically advanced in WW2. What won them their battles in the beginning was more tactics than armour.
@EpsteinsPlasticSurgeon Ok, still false
Sabaton is Swedish, and they have a long standing creed in their music of War Knows No Nation. It's about the men and women who died fighting, their victories and their defeats. It's a study of glory and abject terror of warfare throughout history
Sabaton is the piece of armour from around the medieval period on the top of your foot
Sabot is the shoe guard on armor that goes from the shin to the top of the foot
Those were radio headphones tankers and people who used radio transitons uesd those
I'm not normally one to comment on videos, but had to bring some info in on this video. I watched it as i love seeing reaction video from those that don't normally listen to metal reviewing metal bands, always find their take on their music interesting.
RIght with Sabaton, they're a Swedish Power Metal band. Their entire theme surrounding the band is they write songs based on history, more specifically Military history, covering many, many different conflicts through out mankinds history and cover all sides of the the various conflicts. In regards to their music, it's not them glorifying war, but more giving a history lesson on the different wars and conflicts that have happened over the history of this world and telling the stories of the different sides that partook in it.
I must stress that they are in no way at all Nazi sympathisers. They have done many songs surrounding the second world war, covering the british, the germans, the americans, the russians and other different nations too. But what each song is designed to do is teach a specific part of the conflict. For example with this video, they wanted to tell the story of the German Tank Devision, known as the Ghost Devision, which was part of the Germany Blitzkrieg across Europe. They are not condoning their actions, but more showing what happened in a song format. This is not fake or movie footage, but real life documented videos taken during the war, as Sabaton often use in a lot of their songs as it gives you a realisation that all of this is real and shows the brutality of war and what veterans went through, from all sides. Anyway that's explaining the Sabaton side of this.
I do want to mention the historical side and say that yes these were Nazi soldiers, but do understand that while they were on the german side, don't forget the human element to this. These were men that were forced to go to war for their country, much like with the British and American men. At that time in history, as soon as you turned 18, you were thrown into the military and forced to fight. There was no choice back then as there is now. If you refused to fight for your country, you would either be imprisoned or executed and that was on both sides of the conflict. The german soldiers had to fight and were doing there part for their country, much like soldiers on our side. I say that because they were doing their part and not to confuse them with the full blown evil of Nazi Germany which were Hitler, his high ranking generals, the SS and the Gestapo. They were the real, pure evil of the German people at that time, not the average soldier. A lot of German soldiers heavily regretting what they had to do during those years and the German people to this day still feel remorse for the events that happened during this war. While it is easy to lump all of the German people in with the real evil of the Nazi, i say please don't tarnish them all with the same brush as they were manipulated and mislead into a war by Hitler, who was a power hungry, ruthless individual who took advantage of the fact that after the 1st world war, Germany and it's people were in a terrible place, suffering, starving, many out of work, many people dying and left with no hope for a future. (I often look at how America is now and compare it to how Germany was then and how easy it was for the worst people to worm their way to power and use it to meet their own ends - but i won't get political here) Anyway Hitler gave the german people hope and mislead them into a devastating war with the promise of grandure and respect. Anyway, i've rambled on, i just wanted to stress not to completely vilify the average German person or Soldier as they were just doing what they were told to do and doing their part to be patriotic to their country, much like our side had to.
Also side note - a Sabaton is the metal foot covering that Knights used to wear, when in their full suit of Armor. It was to protect their feet and part of the full suit. Incidently if you see the bands logo, the S in Sabaton features a Sabaton from a suit of armor as part of the design of the S.
Excuse the long comment - just wanted to say my piece in regards to this video and honestly do recommend looking up Sabaton, they're a great band, one that actually teaches you something and put on an increble live show - check their live videos of their concerts or from the festivals to see this.
Sabaton tells stories from any time from any perspective. They don’t use their personal preference or beliefs to write songs. Just legendary stories from all times and all sides.
7:10 German tank divisions used radios thats how they managed to win so many quick victories by comunicating witch each other while the allies mostly only had 1 radio for some tanks
Sabaton are a Swedish metal band who tell historical war stories, they arent glorifying nazis, they're telling the story of the 7th pazer division
you liked the headphones of the german tankers. Then you should also see the microphones which was like 100 years ahead of every other army.
