Sabaton have been called nazis, racists and everything else you can imagine. BUT have always stood their ground, never backed down from the ignorant people calling them names.
@@atheistyoda8915 People confuse nationalism with patriotism and vice versa. I’m 40 years old, living in Sweden and have been into viking culture my whole life. And been beaten up for it. Called a nazi. Called a racist. But I’m not a racist. I’m into zulu, samurai and native american culture aswell. I like paganism. I hate christianity. Nationalism is only backwards if you want it to be. I’m a progressive nationalist.
If someone were to call them nazis, I'd seriously question their intelligence. Would nazis write a song about Hitler's rise to power and name it "Rise of Evil"? Nah, didn't think so.
@@korvkioskshelvete That doesn't change the fact that nationalism has NO place on this modern world. At the end of the day, nationalism is being proud of something you didn't even have any control of (being born). I see no reason to be proud of the nation I just happened to be born in. In the end, I am part of the human race, and that is the only thing that matters. Nation states is a concept that is in my opinion, pretty silly and only serves to further divide humanity.
Good handling of a difficult topic. Also, beautiful cat! Never apologize if s/he wants to hop up and say hi to your viewers. Cats rule the internet, after all.
We get a lot of this History in school as kids here in the Netherlands. You did this reaction on the right day for us, we remember the fallen on 4th of may and celebrate liberation day on the 5th. Lots of documentaries and movies about ww2 these days on tv, and yesterday we listened to speeches of survivors. I also watched Schindler’s List in school when I was 12 or something, and we visited a concentration camp when I was 15 or 16. Left us teenagers quite speechless.
Here in Sweden the kids start learning about ww2 really early, my 11 year old twins have already learned a good portion of it in school. They will read about it even more in highschool, terrible subject but so important to learn, it should never be forgotten! In my school days, in highschool(ouff, way to long time ago when I think about it)we had several holocaust survivoiurs come to our school to speak to the whole school about their horrible experiences. I don't know if it's that usual nowadays, since it's long ago now since ww2 took place,many have passed on, but I know that it was a guy that visited my eldest sons school(he's 23 y/o now) when he went to highschool anyway. People can be so cruel to eachother, it's sickening, unfortunately I'm embarrased of the human race more often than I would like, thanks to certain behaviour that still goes on to these days(ex in Norh Korea etc). Some people can't handle power and shoulden't even be in charge or decide of the life of an ant or a wasp and absolutely not over human beings. Take power, money, crazieness and put them together= leathal mix, sad but true... Anyway, Have a nice day!
As a history buff, I've spoken about these things with my kids (in case they don't learn enough about it in school)... I've also told them about the so called denyers. There will always be people who use history for their own purposes. The same with religion.
I am a German and i still feel terrible sorry for what my countrymen did back then. Even if i have no personal connection to those atrocities. And i know many fellow Germans who feel the same, that's the reason why there is almost no public pride in Germany. And people like Sabaton are important to help the world remember what happened and to learn from the past. At least i hope mankind learned from it.
As a middle aged white guy, this topic, and the song... never fails to bring me to tears. I have visited Auschwitz-Birkeneau, and it is a sombre, heavy place. It was part of a group tour, and there were folks who opted out. I lost respect for those people, because while it is 'unpleasant', what happened there NEEDS to be observed and remembered, by everyone.
I wasn't sure if I could watch the history part all the way through again since I've seen it a few times already and it's just as hard everytime. But I managed to get through it and I'm glad I did. I think that the harder a topic is to stomach, the more uncomfortable it makes us feel, the more important it is for us to remember it. And not sweep it under the rug and "forget" about it because it's painful or shameful. I agree with you, many people who get upset about Sabaton telling this story are the same people who would rather write it out of the history books all together, no matter which ever excuse they decide to make for being offended by the song.
Thanks for reacting to this. Its a heavy topic, but it needs to be remembered. A sidenote.. When Sabaton made this, they let the drums echo with the sound of rolling trainwheels. The song makes me sick to my stomach. One can only Hope that we, as humans, sometime in the future can surpas the thought of how important etnicity is and just think of eachother as humans.
I absolutely love what Sabaton does and sings about, all historical moments in human history weather its good or very bad must never be forgotten. Children should be taught these subjects at school so they learn never to do real evil demonic things like the Holocaust, Slavery, racism to all races etc etc ever. My best mate's dad was in the British Army during WW2, where his company found a concentration camp it might be Auschwitz. The things he saw and had to do like bury the bodies of all ages and sexes really affected him till the day he died. Some of his stories about things that he did and saw was absolutely horrific. He Was in the Glasgow Highlanders Regiment. He was like a second dad to me and I miss him, he was a British Hero. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇸🇪🇸🇪🇮🇱
It's great that you and others bring this moments in history again in CZcams reactions for more people to learn. If you want to see another great Sabaton songs - Purple Heart, Hammer Has Fallen, Light in the Black and 40:1. Thanks for the great reaction!
Thank you, thank you for this reaction! And your right, even if it may be uncomfortable for some, we HAVE to remember, we HAVE to be reminded of this period of human history.
As far as your remark about nobody knowing, there were many people in the British and American governments who knew. A brave Polish former soldier got into Auschwitz as a prisoner and was able to smuggle out photographs and descriptions of what went on there. And we have learned nothing. There have been horrible holocausts since the Final Solution. Until we learn that we are all brothers and sisters under this sun, and that we should never persecute others for their race, religion, or anything that is different from us, we are doomed to repeat this over and over.
Thank you for your true reactions! A month has passed and Sabaton's fans are patiently waiting for more... Maybe 40:1 live Woodstock, 2012, Poland, next, please?
It's a odd issue that some German units came to the camps for rest and or to recoup or wait for transportation to other area's but extensive care was taken to keep the daily routine out of sight out of mind away from them the only "inmates" they saw was one's held for work details and the 1 time the soldier's who where at auschwitz moving through actually attempted a attack on the camp resulting in there executions in front of the prisoner's letting the prisoner's know no one was coming this was the end of the road for them Edit: the one time soldier's actually saw what was happening they went of and attempted a minor assault but none where in a condition to mount such a move and where all executed for the attempt
The worst part is that antisemitism didn't end after 1945 and has been in our history books for a very long time as a species in general. Yes the final solution was the darkest chapter when it comes to antisemitism but anno 2022 it is still a huge problem and still exists. The second worst part is that a lot of people tend to forget these days that antisemitism wasn't only an issue in Germany but worldwide during the 1930's-1940's. There were plenty of antisemistic rallies worldwide during this period of our history. If you google for 5 minutes you find anti semitic posters of rallies that were held all over the world in this timeframe of our history, one of the more famous ones is a rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939 in New York and believe it or not the Garden was packed that day. If i look at humanity anno 2022 and how humanity is acting i think to myself "Yep, history repeats itself" because we are in a very messed up place as a "Western" society with all the BS that has been happening on the world stage the last few years...
Really great reaction to this! Very important matter! You wanna know a scary thing?! The racial "science" began in Sweden in the early 1900:s... German scientists brought it to Germany and the nazis used it as an excuse for their politics... We all know the rest. But what people outside Sweden don't know, is that the "science" continued in Sweden for years after WW2! Most of the victims for this "science" were our native population, the Sami people. (The theaft of their lands are not over yet). What was the resault of the "science"? NOTHING!!
Something else awful about the method of death; studies with people with malfunctioning or non-existent amygdalae (the part of the brain primarily responsible for your fear and aggression responses) that they won't feel fear of any kind.. except for one kind. Asphyxiation. While the subject(s) weren't actually choked or anything, they were given injections of a gas meant to signal to the body some kind of choking was occurring, and even with a malfunctioning/non-existent amygdala, the patient still exhibited a strong fear response. Fear of choking is so ingrained in us that even with the removal of the primary fear center of the brain, people will still fear being choked to death. I recommend watching Vsauce's CZcams Original on the subject if you're interested.
*place-search-engine-here* "Josef Mengele" he was the "angel of death" Slayer sings about it their song. LET ME WARN YOU, it will get intense real fast. you have been warned.
Whenever someone hears Sabaton for the first time and assume they're nazis because they sing about these things, I ask them to listen to "Rise of Evil". I mean ffs, if you're a nazi, are you really gonna label the rise of Hitler as "evil"?

Only in Sweden, where patriotism and national romanticism is considered nationalsocialism.
@@korvkioskshelvete That's nonsense. Patriotism isn't shunned in Sweden, only nationalism, which is actually harmful and backwards, is shunned.

Something I read once, and this may help you - "The first country that the Nazis invaded was Germany".
Never forget, but don't punish yourself.
and yet the germans are now allowing russia to wage genocide, how sad that your country has learnt little
@@baldingbee5403would you say the same about Russians now?
sorry to say it but youer grandparents did now and truned the blind eye .its not youer fault but all germans lived in this time

Couldn't click on this fast enough, you did a great job with this 1 brother . so glad you did this reaction "Never Forget "
Tough subject this one. Nothing but respect for Sabaton for covering it though.
As a person of the Jewish faith, I give major props to Sabaton for covering something so horrible with grace and class.

Just got to the part where you paraphrased Abe Lincoln. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Lincoln didn’t say that, Lord Acton did. And Lincoln would know considering he violated the Constitution repeatedly throughout his time in office.
About people knowing about the camps do a Sabaton reaktion about inmate 4859.
Yes, inmate 4859 is another great and dark song about an polish inmate in auschwitz. You should defenetly check that one out highly.
Be SURE to watch this version! It is the best and most accurate video of this song! czcams.com/video/wvDg7UftJw8/video.html
Like your style and I dig your mjauing friend 😊
I'm from Germany and there is a trend where jews are scarily still being hated on for no apparent reason (not by many but still)

My husband was Jewish and one of his Aunts was in one of the camps. Lest we forget
As an Israeli Jew ✡ thank you for putting this on your channel

Some people denie history because they "don't like it" so they force themselves to believe it wasn't real and never happened. Because it offends them.
This music video with Sabaton are hard to watch. Hard, but important. 😢
Thank you.

Just because i know the history of WWII.....
Have you reacted to Inmate 4859, about the Polish soldier who infiltrated Auschwitz?
*place-search-engine-here* "Josef Mengele" he was the "angel of death" Slayer sings about it their song. LET ME WARN YOU, it will get intense real fast. you have been warned.
Whenever someone hears Sabaton for the first time and assume they're nazis because they sing about these things, I ask them to listen to "Rise of Evil". I mean ffs, if you're a nazi, are you really gonna label the rise of Hitler as "evil"?
I'm skipping to the song....
