- The Allies had cracked the secret codes, deprived the German Kriegsmarine of their best U-Boat aces, and sunk more submarines than the Germans could replace. Yet the Wolfpacks returned. From the depth of the sea they continued their hunt, even far away from the busy routes of the Atlantic. On their way south, along the coast of Africa, Wolfpack "Eisbär" would engage in a fateful encounter. An encounter that would demonstrate how the old rules of conduct, honor and mercy had become a thing of the past.

so lets send this video to the draftinglady and tell her that she did the right choice
What do you mean?
The moral of the story: "No good deed goes unpunished."
Hartenstein tried to do the right thing.
Damn maybe he shouldn't have been fighting for the nazis that didn't give half a fuck about the geniva convention.
He needs his own song
@@ExternalDialogue both the Nazis and the soviets considered the geneva Convention more as a Suggestion, but that does not justify any warcrimes against them does it?
@@herbertschulz4313 Geneva suggestion lol
@@herbertschulz4313 well it means that gestures like the red cross cannot be guaranteed to be good faith efforts and not traps or tricks.
Imagine being that guy who was initially going to be Sabaton's drummer. Knowing that if it wasn't for being called in for conscription, HE would have been the drummer in *Sabaton*! Damn that must be an awful feeling xD
Forget that, consider the fact their current drummer is married to Floor Jansen.
@@xcritic9671 You mean 'HE' could have married Ms. Jansen.
Que the 'Price is Right' Fail horn.
@@thepsychicspoon5984 that's not what I was talking about. I meant the current drummer would have lost out even more because he wouldn't have gotten the chance if the old drummer had stayed.
New Year goals:
1, Become a History teacher in a metal band.
2, or an Ace pilot.
3, or an Ace submariner.
4, or a Crazy guy in the forest with a gun.
Happy New Year to Sabaton and everyone!!! :D
Or a winged hussar
Is it too much too ask for all lmfao
If you did all of them sabaton would give you a song.
You can't do 2,3 there is no war being fought jets against jets and navies against navies
I love these stories. My great grandfather guarded captured uboats. The only thing I have of him left is a German dress sword given to him
My grandfather actually was a submariner. Never told us much. He unfortunately lost his dress dagger. Hid it after the war, but when he went back the the hiding place it was gone. Take good care of yours!
"The rise of the German submarine"
More like sinking, right?
Eh!
@@b1laxson true enough.
Do you know why its safer to be in a submarine than an air craft?
There are more aircraft in the sea than subs in the air.
@@b1laxson well, other ships can be raised back up after being sunk as well but it does require a bit more effort and also go over what internally needs to be replaced due to water damage. many american battleships damaged during the japanese attack on pearl harbour to the point that they sunk to the floor of the harbour basin, then raised and repaired during the war, some were just beyond repair though like arizona
B1 Laxson your joke had Sabaton History approval for fun.
Thelfifi another fact based joke that we love. you have gain Sabaton History like.
Wolfpack was always my favourite Sabaton song, but since my grandfather died last year it became even more special to me. He was trained to be a Torpeodo Mechanic for Class VII C Submarines. (He always said he was supposed to serve on U 250 but it was sunk right before he would have been on board for the first time.)
After the war he served (POW) in the Royal Navy on a small mine sweeper ship. Always had his Iron Cross next to a British Medal (I dont know which one) up on his wall.
He said he liked the Royal Navy more than the Kriegsmarine because he was allowed to keep dogs on the British ship.
U-Boats: Haha you will never find us!
Code Breakers: *we gonna do what's called a pro gamer move.*
The Knights of the sea were defeated by code nerds, how poetic.

Call it "Kriegsmarine"
@@timothyissler3815 probably not the best idea
Sabaton merch: The Kriegsmarine Kollektion
Pär: *talking about eating to be a pilot*
Me: *trying to imagine Pär with short hair and no beard*
It’s impossible
The Laconia story is pretty sad and bitter, the uboots had their "no bullet fly" moment but allies didn't respected it. Bombing ships in rescue effort is both a violation of regular seamens practices and what could be called a war crime.
Anyway, just like jet planes and rockets, late Uboots (type XXI) were so advanced that they were copied and paved the way for virtually all submarines of every navies in the world.
They don't teach about the Laconia in American schools, to the surprise of absolutely nobody.
Bombers regularly had accidents like that, they are completely indiscriminate and clueless, probably didn't even know there were British prisoners involved.
The reason the red cross was not respected by the allies was because germany repeatedly showed a complete disregard for the geniva convention and all rules of war, they didn't play fair. For all the allies knew it was probably a trick to make them lower their guard.
This is the fault of the nazis unecesarelly cruel and brutal tactics motivated by nazi ideology not the allies.
@@ExternalDialogue Nazi Germany did not respect many rules of war, but there is no hard evidence I'm aware of where the Germans used the Red Cross as a trick.
You may be confusing them with Japanese units faking surrender.
I mean tbf the British gave order NOT to attack the sub during the rescue operation, and had sent ships to help the rescue operation, however American commander feared that the Uboat would attack the rescue ships, or shell the secret Ascension airfield, and that a U-boat was ineligible to fly a red cross, so they just went, haha B-24 go brrrrrrrrr
Several of my male classmates did the smoke-three-cigars-before-the-physical-examination thing. All were deemed unfit for service and were recommended going to their own doctor for an asthma test, except the one unfortunate smoker who didn't react anywhere near as strongly as he'd anticipated and got drafted. 15 years later, I hear people are still getting away with that trick, and it was apparently also a thing when my dad was 18 (he got drafted as a medic because he also overestimated the effect three cigars would have on someone who already smoked). In the end, at least in Denmark, I kind of feel like it's been a thing for a long time that if you clearly don't want to be in the military and try to get out of it, they let you go. Unless you do it badly, in which case the military goes into total troll mode and drafts you even if you're a polio survivor missing a few muscles in your foot (my dad, again). And I've now inadvertently made myself curious to know the proportion of smokers in the Danish military compared to those in less trolling militaries.
What's wrong with 406. It's a question that scientists ask to this day

Sabaton Sport History would be the only sportschannel i would watch
17:08 Well now i've gone and pissed myself laughing. and from the jumpscare
Yyyeeeeeeaaaahhhh indy is possessed
Wolfpack is one of my absolute favorite Sabaton songs, I really wish it was a staple of the setlist, personally, a classic played at every concert !
The best U-Boat movie I've ever watched is Das Boot. I recommend watching it. It's in German but you can find captions
U-571
Man 100 episodes, I still remember being pumped for the launch of the channel and here we are 100 episodes later. Watched everyone of them and there's not one I didn't like, good job lads, and here's to 100 more 🍻 happy new years!
I really loved this episode. Great job guys. Thank You for the History lesson.
Glad you liked Larry. Thanks for your support.
Congratulations on 100 episodes gents.
Happy new year and thank you so much for making 2020 less of a nightmare!
I ducked out of my service...just to watch sabaton back in February.....WORTH IT!!!
If sabaton sports history is going to be a thing then we can have an episode on Långa Bollar På Bengt
Hope that Indys hand would finaly heal after so long time xD
100 of these to end the year..... Heck i learned more from these than 8 years in school.
Your not the only one lmfao
HAPPY HUNDREDTH!!
And a very happy new year to everyone reading this!
Congrats to every single person involved in this amazing project!
You're making the world more enjoyable and that's worth everything! ;)
I love these revisits that allow us to hear more stories related to the subject. 🤘🥰
Happy 100th episode team! Here's to 100 more and a happier New Year where we hopefully get to see one another at a concert again ❤
In Norway when you don't want to serve you just say you listen to Norwegian black metal... then they know right away they need to let you go in order to save the wooden churches.

Congratulations Sabaton History for reaching 100 episodes of SABATON HISTORY!
Par would know this I don't think anyone else will but it's compulsory in Finland. Tony Kakko from @SonataArctica was a signalman. He broke his leg doing basic training and wrote Eclyptica while it was healing. The rest is history. Deliberate pun lol.
Apart from the incredible episode, that is a beautiful tie Indy.
Congratulations on this being the 100th episode!
I know I am late to this after realising that episode may not be looked back at by the team. (Diary Of An Unknown Soldier) but that was where I first saw the offer of audience input for history topics. An idea that came to mind which could be an add on episode to the Bismarck episode is the history of the successful battlecruiser KMS Scharnhorst. A somewhat overlooked ship when looking at the German World War Two navy. Including the ship having the longest target hit on a movement target by an Axis vessel, Taking part in the sinking of the British Carrier HMS Glorious and the final stand the German ship had against the British at the Battle Of North Cape.
Just wanted to also add on. I love the teamwork between both band and historian that is created in each episode and look forward to seeing more in the future.
Happy 100th Episode!
Love your music and your history lessons!
Happy New Year!
Happy 100! Can't believe how fast this has gone.
Out of 41,000 men....over 30,000 died. You were lucky if you were killed right away. Just imagine being in a sub, that was sinking...out of control, electricity failing, lights going out. Men wounded and screaming, water rushing in....and you know your going to die.
Huge congrats on this 100th episode, I have not only learned a lot of our world history but have also enjoyed the comments of how all these major events shaped and inspired such awesome songs/albums. Hope to see more in 2021!!!!!
USN: we dont need convoys on Eastern Coast.
Wolfpacks: free meals
Wolfpack:laughs in explosive breadsticks
18:19 "A very educational episode". That's true. And the 100th as well. 100 congrats!! I missed Pär on the episode about Swedish pagans though. How did he manage to avoid this one? 😉
I actually needed the how to avoid military service part. I live in a conscription country and I’m due to enlist in October
Don't avoid conscription that's kinda ignoring the call to help protect you country.
Congratulations on the 100th episode you guys!
There isn’t much but that ship was a rare instance where it seems the allies were in the wrong and the axis was in the right. Broadcasting their plan hoping that it would be seen as a humanitarian rescue, only to have the survivors and the sub attacked was shameful.
The submarine force was the only force that wasn't accused of any war crimes in Nuremberg trials.
One of the best Sabaton's song!
Lol @ "you don't want to be the muddy guy" 😂
Is it just me or does his story about the draft remind me of “Alice’s Restaurant”?
Happy New Year's to sabaton history Indy hope you guys keep up the good work I absolutely love this channel
11:41 They actually reinstated it, sort of. If they don't get enough volunteers, they select some people to do service.
I knew and listened some to sabayon before. Not much, but some. But this channel has really made me appreciate them even more and now they're one of my favorite bands lol.
Does sabayon make you fart or something? How do you listen to sabayon? LOL

Fun Fact: The captain of Laconia was also captain of the other major British maritime disaster of the war, the Lancastria. Although on this occasion Rudolph Sharp did not survive the attack by U-156
Happy 100th Sabaton history episode
Nazi Uboat ace, NATO chief-of-staff, history expert and all to fall down a flight of stairs on a Danube cruise aged 86 and die ... what a weird live some people live and I say that in all honesty
I think it's really fascinating what weird ways some fates take
I don't know if this has been pointed out already but at 6:48 you claim that the British captured an enigma machine and thus could crack the code.
The truth is that the enigma machine was not required and that Ultra (Bletchley Park) had already cracked the enigma codes. I don't know if this is when they found the code books, that would have helped a lot, and the naval enigma machine was also differed from the other machines with an extra rotor (if I remeber correctly, or maybe the extra rotor was added later).
The story of the code breakers and Bletchley Park is well worth it's own episode or more, but I assume no song has been written about them so they remain the unsung heroes. ;)
Imagine being the guy who was initially gonna be the drummer for Sabaton byt instead going to do military service. That must have been an awful feeling
Allies except the USSR and Axis Except Japan: *signs the geneva convention*
also allies attacks a U-Boat that has a red cross thats saving his Foes and Friends
I know I was going to enjoy the video instantly at the sight of thumbnail
Happy new year!
Nice alestorm reference in the title lol
Pretending to be crazy is the most surefire way to not get into the Swedish military.
I'm also at the age where I had to try out for the military, "mönstra", but they only took very few because they were discontinuing the conscription. I did really well in the intelligence test but not so much in the strength and conditioning tests (a life of gaming will do that to you), so sadly I wasn't taken. The courses they suggested to me were also only taking very few applicants and the one that fit me the most they weren't even sure if it was going to be cancelled or not.
A few years later the government realized that it was a very bad idea because our military is so small and the greatest cost of the military isn't the equipment or training of yearly recruits, but the salaries of the professionals. They had cut conscription to reduce cost, but only ended up increasing it by switching to a professional military. We have returned to having an army that works on partial conscription, but I will forever be pissy about the lost chance when I was trying out.
Congrats to the 100th episode! 🤘
Waiting in Texas for the Sabaton version of the Alamo.
Same here, it would probably be so tragic and heroic sounding
I love this band and the effort they do to keep history alive. If more kids in the US listen their music and put attention to this channel they won’t be that brainwashed as they are now. thank you for be such patriotic people.
Well mate, I'll level with you... either English isn't your first language or you should not be talking smack on the US education system. WW2 was fought and won by people with less than the equivalent of a modern middle school education...

has been "reactivated" since 2017 but had none from 2010 to 2017
Not like anyone wants to mess with sweden anyway like seen the Strv 103 that thing is a pain to find in the wilderness of sweden's bush for an invading army. Along with the fact it can aparently still operate with a single crew member.

~9:45 Gee, the U.S. military f-ing things up for everyone. Nothing has changed in over 75 years has it?
It follows a consistent and even predictable pattern, which sadly most US citizens still refuse to acknowledge. There is little doubt about the many (often atrocious) crimes the axis power committed during the war. But what is also true, is that the allies have done their best (and even still do to this day) to rewrite history after the war, making sure their own crimes (during the war) have become somehow acceptable. Maybe that's not all that surprising though, considering US citizens get rather systematically brainwashed since birth. That this is done mostly through culture, rather than some state program, doesn't make it less dangerous (if anything, only more dangerous). If people believe they are somehow different and better than the rest of the world, no wonder they will use different scales to measure the acts of others again their own. The US may not have any ideology to kill people in the Middle East, but their feeling of entitlement to resources certainly has caused death on a monumental scale either way. Of course, all of that is everyone else's fault (even if it isn't) .. as per usual. I'm quite sure that if it ever comes to another civil war in the USA, it might well become one of the most vicious ones in history. Many countries have learned lessons from (their) history, one way or another. Sadly, the USA appears to be rather resilient against learning anything, first and foremost their own history (of which surprisingly many Americans turn out to be either ignorant or extremely ill informed). Or maybe it's just that they don't have to, if they manage to actually get away with every (war) crime they commit.
Nothing has changed.

Happy centennial!
I think Sabaton should do a song about the Red Cross or better yet an album about the homefronts of the great war and wwii. For war is waged not just on the front but by those in the factories, and the people left at home. Logistics is the name of victory. Strategy is the name of defeat. Strategy is nothing without logistics.
Just imagine what would have happened if all of WW2 German submarine aces stay in 1 elite brilliant and best Wolfpack and the best and modern submarines.
A Danill Kvyat reference is obligatory here. Those who get it, will get it. Happy New Year’s all F1 and Sabaton Fans!
