- There are many inventors whose creations have been turned into weapons of war. A couple that really stand out are Alfred Nobel and Wernher von Braun. Today we'll take a deep dive into their stories and the paradox of using destructive weapons for good, or creative weapons for destruction.

Still looking for Pasadena 1994. That epic battle needs coverage.
Yes 😂
Certainly worth an episode. It would be nice if they could get guys from Nanowar for that.
Hopefully the April 1 episode.
Agree!
Well, April 1st is not that far away... that would be the perfect opportunity!
Humanity: invents thing
Humanity: soooo how can we use it to kill one another?
Also humanity: how can we use this to make money?
Indy rocking the Colonel Sanders look.
I’m going into surgery this summer and sabaton and the sabaton history Channel have helped me get over the fear of the surgery and my mom even said I could talk to the nurses about history during recovery. Thanks for the history and music
Idk what you are getting operated for but stay strong, everything is going to be alright!
The surgery will go good just stay positive and positive will happen. I had acl surgery and sabaton history was a great binge
What kind of surgery?
Always great to be there in any shape or form ;) Good luck with your recovery!
@@freetolook3727 open heart
Always interesting when science and history cross paths.
To paraphrase the old saying:
Necessity is the Mother of Invention. The Father's name is War.
Great episode. Every coin has two sides... It must be frustrating for those scientists to see how their visions are misused. When you have the plan to help people and bring the world a step further ... and then there comes someone and uses your work for the opposite, and there is little or nothing you can do about it. Must be hard...
Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department, " says Wernher von Braun. (Tom Lehrer)
I may be pushing 70, but I'm never too old to learn. Thank you, Indy and SABOTON, for teaching this old dog new things.
Too bad you guys weren't even born in the 60s and 70s to teach my generation about history.
We missed out!
It's always our privilege to share these stories with you guys -- regardless of age, of course 🤘 Metal holds a space for everyone!
"War is the locomotive of history,"

Gotta love each time there is a new sabaton history video, Indy knows how to tell information and make it interesting
He's the GOAT 😎 Thanks a lot for writing!
@@SabatonHistory All respect to Sabaton and the whole crew
Indy looking real swagger today
Indy doesn’t have to pass the Drip Check- the Drip Check has to pass Indy.
"We wonder where, where will this lead? What's coming next, from your inventions.."
Oh wait, wrong song?
7:39 I worked as an intern at the National Archives and Records Administration a few years ago. One of the documents I got to handle was von Braun’s foreign correspondence. A lot of those letters, if not written in English, we’re written in German. That made me want to learn German
That sounds like a great job! I’ve found out 20th Century German is a little different from modern German.
@@AYVYN it was a great experience. Would be nice if there was an opening there
that would explain why i struggled to understand hitler's speeches with my basic understanding of german@@AYVYN
@@heiscalledinvinciblenotinv68 Haha, reading is even more difficult. Even AI has some problems decoding it.
"'I make rockets go up'
But where they come down?
"That's not my concern' says Werner von Braun"
You may not hear it enough, But THANK YOU so much for doing this kind of stuff. Your channel is a breath of fresh air.
We are always inspired by your comments and support guys, we can never get tired of reading them 🤘 Thanks for writing!
I always love when sabaton history uploads
We love to read you guys enjoy them! 😉
Indy @ 21:11 : Imagine going to prison for that, for someone planting something on you
America, sweating nervously: yeah ... that'd be wild 😰
Here's something interesting to think about, if ww1 didn't start we'd have self loading rifles earlier but maybe not Light machine guns
Hmm? What could a new Sabaton album be about?
Love the talk about Alfred Nobel. he actutally spent his last 3 years in in Sweden in my hometown, there is a museum showing some of his inventions and his mansion his will was also legislated in the courthouse here, it is thanks to that we have the Nobel price.
Was hoping for a sneak peak of a new music video starring Indy, or at least a new song, but it’s always good to see a new episode regardless.
Quick point to add regarding Von Braun's team and the launching of USA's first satellite...there is every reason to think that if they had been allowed to try, Von Braun's team at ABMA could have placed Explorer I in orbit as much as a year before Sputnik I. In 1956, ABMA was already reaching much greater than orbital altitudes with the 3 stage Jupiter-C rocket, and they asked for permission to place a 4th stage on the rocket to get them the last bit of speed they needed to reach orbit but were refused. That was the famous moment when Ike decided he did not want a military rocket to launch the first US satellite...especially not one made by former Nazi Von Braun.|
It was only after he was totally shocked by the massive panic that was whipped up in the West by talk of a huge "missile gap" in favor of the USSR, and the very public failure of Vanguard TV-3, that Ike relented and gave permission for ABMA to send up Explorer I in early 1958.
Ironically, better triage, emergency room care and surgical practices have come from treatment of war casualties.
BRILLIANT work. Father of Light and Dark....Lab coat...Rockets, TNT. Truly enjoyed this one. Well Done!
Hmm, I'm going to guess and an upcoming new song will be perhaps about Wernher von Braun?
New Sabaton History, I mean Sabaton science! Let's go!
hey sabaton history, when will we get the history on songs like 7734, camouflage, and for whom the bell tolls? been looking for these for awhile now (yes I know some are covers, would be cool to hear about the bands and the song)
To be fair with him, Von Braun always aimed for the Moon, it was a childhood dream.
And he managed to do it whatever it may cost. It's pure evil genius in a way. He's one of my favorite scientists/engineers of history.
Leonardo Da Vinci is famous for helping to explain nature, life, the beauty of it all, ... and also to design deadly weapons. I think that very intelligent people have no sense of good or evil, in a way. Their minds float above all of these moral considerations.
Like, did you know? But Samuel Colt financed the deployment of electrical telegraphy, at a time when no one believed in the usefulness of the invention. He totally saved the concept. The guy who sold death as a business, helped people to better communicate!
(Sidenote, if you need functional military vehicles in France near Paris, ask the UNIVEM.)
He was also a Nazi who was happy to use slave labor. Thousands of concentratrion camp prisoners died digging out his underground facility with their bare hands (they weren't allowed tools so they couldn't revolt) and he was fully aware of this and signed off on requisitions for more prisoners.
Thankyou for sharing
I find Dominique Jean Larrey a cool historical figure. It reminds of how during the American Civil War the Army of the Potomac created the first American battlefield ambulance service.
My dream: Joakim singing to the roar of those massive F1 engines
V3 rockets leak??
Every day of Sabaton history is a good day
Waiting for Sabaton Maths now hahaha
Thanks for this.
Sabaton now asking for a tank: "Sure, do you guys want a Leopard II, M1A2, Challenger II? Or something vintage like an M4 Sherman? Oh! Even better, what about an M26 Pershing?"
New sabaton history video!
Great day when sabaton history uploads
I love SABATON HISTORY so good
I read somewhere the inventer of the Gatling Gun. Invented it with the hope of making killing so horried that war would be no more.
This week on sbaton history: colonel sanders explains the morality of science, with special guest boss hog
Five years! Wow!!
Some mengel experiments were used by usa. The dachau data
19:06 I was on that concert when you presented your tank for the first time!
Now that was a moment to remember 🙂 Thanks for being there!
@@SabatonHistory Always!
The pictures for the A-1 and A-2 are wrong, the V-1 was a separate Luftwaffe project, and the V-2 was the A-4 rocket.
Another great history lesson. Thank you very much. I feel smarter now.
It's always our privilege to share stories with you guys!
That's a nice suit indy, the black tie and the white suit go well together with the topic
It's a lab coat
@@tyrannosaurusimperator I route the message before I sore it was a lab coat at the end. 😑
@@felwinter5528 and it isn't a tie it's a part of a commonly used tuxedo
Robert Oppenheimer, Fritz Haber, Gerhardt Schrader, etc
I will do almost anything for you all to cover Camoflauge on here.
I often wonder, if Fritz Haber was just easy scape goat to blame for invention and introduction of chemical weapons. I mean it was The Great War, nations were looking for way to get around stalemate, and someone would get to that conclusion. Haber was just the one who opened this Pandora's Box, for which he should be hold accountable, but because he was from the losing side of the conflict he was easy target of demonising.
If a Browning machine gun kills people is John Moses Browning responsible? Of course not, the person wielding the firearm is to blame. Same for Haber, Braun countless other inventors.This historical revisionism to make everyone the bad guy falls apart with simple scrutiny
Here's an idea for Sabaton songs, national anthems. The meaning and stories behind them. I recently watched a video titled "The star spangled banner as you've never heard it.", it was the first time the I've been told what the lyrics to my own national anthem actually mean. Now knowing what those lyrics mean, I have an even greater respect and reverence for the song
That's quite an interesting idea indeed 🤘 Thanks for your suggestion!
i was wondering about the history behind the song 7734
Kirk was a great man indeed Indy!
@5:13 That's a confusing picture. It looks like two cranes are holding up a section of railroad track truss while they blow up the supporting structures.
Nigel look like Sean Connoreys James Bond in that suit
Von Braun I consider to be worse than most of the rest discussed. He did not develop something which ended up being used to commit atrocities, but rather developed a weapon to kill civilians with the justification that it might some day help humanity. Von Braun should at the very least have been tried in court. Given how Heisenberg was able to stall and delay the Nazi effort towards atomic weapons (with some help from the allies), I think von Braun remains culpable for the deaths and suffering he caused first in building his rockets, and then in launching them.
I need to find this song
Have you guys ever thought of singing a song about some battle during the Revolutionary War. I think the Battles of Saratoga or Yorktown would be great to listen too.
Indy Nei the science guy
Well, what about Korolyov?
"Amerika ist wunderbar" Von Braun, probably.
I would love to hear the story behind "Camouflage", please.
Is that Indy Neidell or Colonial Sanders?
KFC has good wet naps
"Πόλεμος πατήρ πάντων"(war is the father of all things) as Heraclitus said in 6th century B.C.
In surprised you didn’t cover Alan Turing and his team at Bletchley Park who, in their efforts to crack the various codes the Germans used, invented the worlds first computer
"I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by Judeo-bolshevism...... SPACE!" - Sturmbannführer Wernher Freiherr von Braun, probably
It has been said that aviation technology advanced 30 years during the four years of WWI.
Ok but why is Indy dressed like 60s James Bond
Wow I never thought border in Europe works like that, it is very interesting. There is old joke: Human became human of monkey when it took a stick and started kicking other monkeys. We can still it today in a zoo.
Yep, selling one's soul to the devil - W.v.B. did it twice, tragic!
21:10 America moment
Race to the sea when?
A history video for race to the sea was already done.
@@BoomrGamr On the concept of the race to the sea.
But there's never been one about the history behind the song Race to the Sea.
WWI, after the Schlieffen Plan failed. The German army then started to dig in, literally, in trenches and the British followed and then the French.
The Race to the Sea was the German and British armies trying to outflank each others trench systems eventually ending up at the English channel.
The trench systems stayed pretty much static for the next four years.
Do you prepare an Science History channel ? No, it can't be ...
Is it me or Indy looks like Indiana Jones from the second movie with is smoking ?
I mean, if you think amoral science does not exist, you should read on japanese unit 731...
Also why is Indie dressed like colonel sanders?
May I say hello?
Do sabaton history on burn your crosses it about the Spanish Inquisition
And then they turned around and gave the peace prize to warmongers.
Correction: the A-4 we're launched from Peenemünde, which is at the Baltic Sea. Otherwise a great Video.
So, this being listed as music means I can't play it while minimized...
