- It happened during the last stage of the Soviet-Afghan War.
Already withdrawing its forces, Soviet High Command needed to display its might one last time by recapturing the vital Satukandav Pass. But to achieve that goal, the commanding heights surrounding the pass had to be held against continuous Mujahideen attacks.
In the Battle for Hill 3234, an outnumbered force of Soviet paratroopers held their own against relentless attacks from the Afghan rebels.

They were only 39
They were told to hold the line...
I'm sure most of you know the rest of those lyrics. And after watching this episode of Sabaton History, you also know the real historical events behind those words.
What some of you might not know though, is the story of the guitar solo in Hill 3234.
As usual when Joakim had written the song, he sent it out to the rest of the band. Much to his surprise though, this time Thobbe Englund - lead guitarist at the time - sent a file back within the hour.
Thobbe had just plugged his guitar in and hit play. He was literally listening to Hill 3234 for the first time when the solo spontaneously popped into his head, and he recorded it on the spot.
And to make this solo even more special: it is that very first recording Thobbe made that ended up on the album!
Not one single re-take.
Talk about a blessing from the Muses...

Wait, he did the solo in one take? Unbelievable
Thobbe is such an amazing guitarist and has an amazing voice too! He seems like a funny guy too🥺 ( if you don't listen to thobbe's music yet,go do it 💪🏻)
@@irina49125 I second that! I love every single one of his solo albums!!! He's an incredibly talented and amazing artist! This just proves it ^^
I'm more interested about the motorized souvla of Indy...
You should look at Battle of Longewala during 1971 Indo-Pak war
Soldier 1: How on earth are we supposed to beat this?
Soldier2: We either die and end up in a Sabaton song, or we live an end up in a Sabaton song.
Attack of the Dead Men: We did both at the same time!
I see this as an absolute win
A Sabaton song: the greatest honor bestowed upon any soldier
@@Tadicuslegion78 Haha true! Good point!

3234 metres high, a "hill"
Afghan geography is really in a league of its own.
The Russian term for what is usually named "a hill" in the Western military geography is "vysota", literal translation is "elevation", so it makes a lot more sense in Russian.

Says alot about mountains in Afghanistan
It's no wonder Afghanistan has the reputation of being the graveyard of empires.
tbh its the same situation here in caucasus region.
It’s like a modern Rorke’s Drift
Rorke's had more supplies
Well, it’s probably more that they just shot slower. I’m guessing if the bois in red had Kalashnikovs they probably would have run out of ammo just as fast.
@@ottovonbearsmark8876 If I'm remembering right they were at a depot and had a lot of ammo. Like instead of calling for ammo, they were at the place you called to get the ammo. Granted it was single shot, but it was BIG Heavy stuff, so if they'd carried it there themselves they'd have had far less. They were just short of men one would like when the enemy pops up in those numbers.
@@jpkalishek4586 rorkes drift was a medical mission that the British army used as an army storage area
More the soviet Viet Nam war overall but this battle yeah a epic last stand.
"Shelled and sniped at on a regular basis, but nothing out of the ordinary."
Any nation that has ever attempted to occupy and hold Afghanistan can relate.
yeah except the thousands of years of other empires occupying the region of Afghanistan. If you literally mean it as a country SURE, but if you mean in general nope.
@@rtsgod it was during the British occupation that guns and explosives came into play, and the Afgans were already doing this. i've read in Alexander's time in Afganistan the locals were also doing guerilla war (no sniping back then) and had the same effect, until he decided to destroy whole villages to scare them. it didnt really work so he just moved on
@@apokos8871 i suppose, but it's not like they kicked out the invaders or anything. Uh, no Afganistan was definitely under Alexander and the successors thumbs for a long time. Alexander only moved on because oh shiny! Oh that's india let's go there! Thousands of years they've been under another state's dominion. I am just sick of the haa durr Afganistan throws out all invaders ever it's the graveyard of empires! stuff. in modern history i suppose so but it's not a hard fact that's been always true.
@@rtsgod yes, it was officially controlled by the Seleucid successor state, i was talking about Alexander's attempt at defeating the opposition while he was there. he couldnt find a regular army to fight, only guerillas that staged small attacks. he resorted to terror tactics but it didnt work. in the end the valleys were secured by persian units and the mountains were left to the hostile tribes but noone really gave a fuck about the mountains. i dont remember the book that explained this right now, i have it somewhere in the house.

@@polari6196 SIMO
CIA trained and supplied Afghan rebels, little they knew that some 13 years later these rebels would be killing US soldiers in Mogadishu.
you would assume that people from CIA could calculate these chances, but it seems they didn't
Actually the C.I.A did not actually funded and arm the part of the Mujahadeen that would be later be part of the Taliban but funded the Northern Alliance which is also part of the Mujahadeen.
They also were helped by Maoist groups (Sino-Soviet split) and Iran (Shia-Sunni split, although I don't know if socialist Afghanistan was atheist or tolerated religion but if it did did it subscribe to a particular branch of Islam).
I want to break this rumor as well. The CIA did not fund anything that moved who was willing to fight against Afganistan. Remember the US wants to make Allies who would be useful in WWIII so they fund tribes and leaders who are friendly to the west both in idea and will. Bin Laden was not one of them. HIs supplies originated from Pakistan. People forget the top three suppliers of the Mujahadeen were the US, Pakistan, and China. And they all funded tribes based on their own ideas.
@@Seriona1 oh wow you have such insight. Either you are ex cia or you are bullshitting.

Junior Sargent Alexandrovich Alexandrov was the NSV Heavy Machinegunner and he’s quite a hero. He knew and accepted that he wasn’t going to survive and told the rest of his crew to get to safer places. He’s one of the Hero of the Soviet Union recipients

So you're telling me that Indy was spending his entire quarantine making barbecue? Shit, at this point he must be a pitmaster. I want some!
From this moment onwardds, every VIP ticket at a Sabaton concert should include eating Indy's barbecue with the band
Video: fades in
Me: Ah, Joakim, I see you are a man of culture as well.
Indy: "Led by influential leaders like Osama bin Laden."
Ahmad Shah Massoud: "Am I a joke to you?"
Who was Massoud?
F@#$ing OUCH
@@user-my4lf4bx6v A Northern Alliance minister of defence and commander, several months before 9/11 he warned the west about an imminent attack on US soil.

Lol
This episode would have left me with a quite gloomy mood, but fortunately Joakim and Indy were all smiles and laughter in the end, so this left me cheerful for the time being. And hungry as well.
When Indy was talking about the machine gun taking hits, I heard my daughter starting to sing "Happy birthday to you" in her sleep. 😄 Thank you all for this, and take care!

We need a Sabaton cooking show
"Okay, now we wil shoot exactly 235 blanks with our LMG to heat the grill to perfect temperature"
And about the Soviet (or Russian songs ) on Afghanistan there are quite a lot (and I'm sure there are a lot that I don't know) but there are some stellar classics (for me) like
Swallowing dust
Caravan
Kandahar
Don't tell mama I'm in Afghanistan
Soldat from Lyube
And famous Kino song
Gruppa krovi(blood group) that's arguably about this
Most of the songs are pretty gloomy since it's the pov of the rank and file soldier

That makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense
Good evening, Joakim and Indy. I want to thank you very much for making a video about the Afghan war of 1979-1989. As a Russian, I am flattered by your work. But it's a pity there are no subtitles in Russian for this video. And tell me, is the Pär still in Moscow or has he already returned to Sweden? Hello from Russia
You're welcome Yuri :) And no, Pär is no longer in Moscow.
Maria
I really like this for giving respect to Soviet soldiers. There's real heroes and great men in every army, it's the same all over the world and history, f*** the politics!
Single soldiers are so easily forgotten, many awards depend on rank and the higher awards are for higher ranked officers, higher distance to the actual battle and real heroism...
@elijahasberry542Good necroposting you got going there
@elijahasberry542 Stop assuming things about me.
I just stated, that you are necroposting, which is usually a rather unintelligent thing to do.
@elijahasberry542 Ah, my bad. I hope you get some good rest brother.
I'mma go eat a taco now.
Dude you don't know how long i've waited for this particular song.
Joakim in the foreground, He-Man in the background... could it get more epic than that?
How do you call a cow fighting against the Soviets?
Muhjahideen
But in all seriousness I am glad you finally covered this song. It's definitely one of my favorite Sabaton songs.
@@Thomas.Wright lmao
Your barbecue plans at the end.. This is SO POLISH I can't even...!
Islam is the truth
I know there's no song for it ...
But when do we get an episode about MACV SOG and Bob Howard?
This Hill 3234 fight was pretty much like every encounter the RTs of MACV SOG had with the NVA.
if every fight of macv sog like fight at 3234 height, then only song for them is astronomia.
They could make an entire album from John "Tilt" Striker Meyers' stories/book(s) alone.
Joko had him on his podcast 4 or so times, well worth the listen.
This is a bit nitpicky but the (North) Vietnamese aren’t the NVA, they were the PAVN. The NVA are (East) German.
I have been waiting for this episode for quite some time. Thank you guys. Those 39 soldiers in my opinion deserve respect for the ones that died hope they can rest at peace.
You're welcome :)
"Influential leaders like:..."
I didn't hear Ahmad Shah Masood after this line.
Now I know where did modern day terrorists learn their tactics... Thanks to Indy and Joakim for making my day through learning and smiles.
Good thing the US learned from what happened to a world power going into Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban...
Let's take a look
this song give me the best goosebumps ! love to get this history for it Indy is such a chad, thank you to all the team and the band. Glad to see you guys are doing well lots of love from Uruguay
I've been waiting for this episode for so long! One of the best songs. Thanks guys
There is a movie about it called '9th company'
You can find it on Netflix
It's a garbage. Most of people from Russia will agree with me.
I enjoyed it.
It's absolutely terrible for historical accuracy. The final battle in the movie is nothing like what actually happened. They just wanted to make the Soviet equivalent of Full Metal Jacket.
@@brianmcdonagh9116 agreed. If I remember none of the spetnaz died in the real battle?
@@mew357941They were VDV not Spetsnaz. VDV is Airborne, Spetsnaz is special forces, there is quite some difference. But besides that, 6 died in the real battle as opposed to the movie where almost everyone did. Also, during the real battle they were in constant contact with their base via radio so they had access to artillery suppprt whereas in the movie they were on their own and couldn't reach anyone.
"Pakistan and other sympathizers" can you just directly refer to USA and China, and those ak 47s are the authorized production of Norinco type 56
Not sure how directly involved China was. Most of the chinese equipment probably came from Pakistan who were/are a big importer of chinese weaponry.
Hahaha, "the Mujahideen used stinger missiles", wonder where they got those.
@@autistiumhydroxide3614 Smuggled in from the local USA ally: Pakistan
@@lavrentivs9891 well, if you consider the contemporary Sino-Vietnamese war, you might find this more reasonable. also, Pakistan only act as the media of weapon transport, it was the CIA who purchased the weapon.
@@schwarzerhaufen1727 That's a very big "only", which isn't exactly correct either since Pakistan housed mujaheddin training camps as well.
Should be remembered that both Britain and the USA funded them btw.
Great war and sabaton history two best places on yt. Keep up the great work!
I've waited so long for this episode, thx for making it!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Спасибо, Сабатон!
Love your videos!
Sabaton should make a cover of the He-Man theme song.
Great episode guys! Super excited for the next one. And the pictures of the BBQ.
Thank you! :)
I have been waiting for this one!
Loved the episode! Learning so much from you guys with this channel, thanks!

So glad to see the lads again! Delighted to know Indy has improved a lot after the scare but looking young and looking better than ever.
Glad you guys are still able to do these amazing videos. Between these and great Saturdays, lockdown here in the uk is...tolerable!
There are songs about Soviet-Afghan war, most from the SSSR like:
Alexander Rozenbaum - Чёрный тюльпан (Black Tulip )
Alexander Rozenbaum - Караван (Convoy)
Aleksandr Doroshenko - Пыль глотаю (Swallowing Dust)
Кино - Группа Крови (Blood Type)
ЛЮБЭ - Солдат(Soldier)
Most of them are gloomy songs about dying soldiers and all things they saw in Afghan war.
Swallowing Dust is kind of interesting because I guess it was written in like '96 from what I've heard.
@@Zakatak-mf4iq I really don't know. I am just a hobby historian with strange taste in music. Most of the songs i found trough old documentary where a bunch of SSSR soldiers are driving in BMP listening to german music band which sings in english and American cameraman taking footage, and CZcams(deep holes of 3-5am).
@@hajdukdavid oh you mean the one with "Who Will Save the World"? Same, in that case. If I'm thinking of the same one it's from a documentary "AFGHAN: The Soviet Experience" about the war from a soldier's perspective. Highly recommend.
@@Zakatak-mf4iq Yup that one, first i found Who Will Save the World, then "Afghan: The Soviet Experience", then went down the rabbit hole that is known as SSSR war music, later on Major Samm had influence. If you don't know i highly recommend that you check out his channel on CZcams.
This is one of my favourite sabaton songs ever. The drums and guitars go so well imo
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Thank you for doing this song's history background. Is one of my favorites but I didn't know anything about this action.
You're welcome Harvey! :)
Still my favourite Song of that Album, really glad you made an episode about it
Funny how we, Americans, didn't learn from the Soviet occupation. I read about the Soviet experience and think, "Yep. Did that. Saw that. Been there." It's very surreal.
Yep. Only difference was the Soviet tolerance for casualties. Literally everything else, you can swap the invader name and it still works
@@jesuszamora6949 Invaders? Better a Afghanistan ruled under communism or demoracy as a bunch of religious extremists who are living in the past and threaten their women like they are no humans for them. Be fair, nobody would travel into this country and stay there. I hope someone drive them out or destroy them, before they get to much power in the world. Nothing against the Islam, but not with those people. who are preaching with a gun in thier hand and beating womens and children with the other.
@@Afterthefallout55660 Not a value judgement. Just a fact. We were the ones who went in there. Again, neither good nor bad, just who the visiting and home teams were.
@@jesuszamora6949 And now? Project democracy failed or would say that your only goal was to weaken the soviet union, without any doubts about the people which life there?
If that was the plan, the people are just figures on a chess game. Now they have neither a stable goverment nor democrasy. I think thats worth to think about, because it effects all of us.
If we support the wrong team, we have to take the consequences. In Germany we feel it every day with every refugee more, who went over the border and that topic is the main topic for the any right-wing parties in germany who trie to destroy our sytem again.
Neither bad or good is the wrong answer. It is bad for everyone in Europe.
All time favorite song, thank you for doing this video!!
You're welcome Andres!
I am so jealous of Joakim and His snaps. I've been trying to snap since I was a little kid I still can't

@@SabatonHistory---Your welcome. 😊😊
I haven't been able to find much information on this event due to most of it being in Russian. So I'm very happy to have this be made. Thank you
I love the Masters of the Universe picture in the background and the Daphne picture hanging up on the wall over his left shoulder brings me back to my childhood in the 80s
"...Pakistan and other sympathetic countries." Such as the US.
You understand that the Mujahideen wasn't the only group fighting the soviets, right?
Pakistan funded groups they liked, China funded groups they liked, the US funded groups they liked.
It baffles me that so few soldiers can do amazing feats that shouldn’t be able to happen. But in my American Literature class I wrote about sacrifices a soldier makes and I talked about how when a group of soldiers have a united motivation that they can become unstoppable. This is a major example of that. Even though I’m American I still have major respect for military forces. Thank you Sabaton history for continuing uploading. I really do appreciate your effort. Can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you!
And I definitely think you have a point in what you're saying about united motivation in a group, any type of group really.
Maria
There is actually a Russian film called The 9th company, which follows the 9th that fought here, from their enlistment and training all the way to Afganistan and the brutal last stand they made on this hill
FINALLY!!!!
Another one of my personal favourites.
I appreciate you, as you tell real facts.'
This came out the day before my birthday. Hell Yeah!!
Love the musical part of this too about the recording process...definitely important to not have “yes men” when throwing ideas out. Definitely positivity when you can experiment with a bunch of stuff and see what sounds best 👍🏻💪✊🏻
When you laughed, at America for losing to Vietnamese farmers, but then you lose to farmers with guns.
Soviet Union: Wow that escalated pretty quickly.
Soviet didn't lose the war, because they fight with Afghanistan on same side.
@@trololoev Don't try to explain. They need something to feel better about themselves.
trololoev so does the US... sort of.
@@trololoev soviet government lasted until 1992 so technically they won, unlike Vietnam
@Kanwer Vikram yea that is true if you count the losses but Afghanistan is smaller in terms of population then Vietnam. And in case that was a dick measuring competition the bloodiest battle was on Russian soil. Whats your point?
Wauu you are a He - Man fan :) It was my favorite cartoon when I was a child
My favorite song of The Last Stand album
I would love to see Sabaton cover the Seige of Jadotville.
i hope you two are ok and i hope your feeling better from coronavirus
"YOU CAN'T KEEP YOURSELF ON THAT HILL!"
"Haha, AK go (PRT PRT PRT PRT PRT PRT PRT PRT)"
This song has the best tilulilu guitar solo of all Sabaton songs. Nice bit of information that it was "instant idea" instead of forced development. You can really hear it.
I really hope that one day Sabaton will write and sing a song about the battle for the height of 776, during the Second Chechen War. It was a very dramatic episode of the war. I posted the description on Sabaton`s website. I hope you read this.
a russian musician (RADIO TAPOK) made a song about it, im not sure if it has english subtitles though
fun fact: RADIO TAPOK is actually the original creator of the defense of moscow! Sabaton and RADIO TAPOK came together to make an english version, so maybe were getting an english version someday?
You should do more episodes on the carolus rex album
I barely knew anything about this war, the only bit i knew about was the battle of this valley in Black Ops 2
dire wolf gaming quality mission!
@@Bobbymaccys one of the best in COD history
Specially the giant ass tank Kravchenko was riding
@@DarkPsychoMessiah it was fucking sick
I remember reading at the time soviet prisoners, mostly conscripts, would be skinned alive by the women if they were captured. The Afghans considered it highly entertaining to skin one man at a time in front of his comrades so they knew what was going to happen to them. Every so often the Afghans would send a survivor back so his comrades knew what happened.
My favorite song from the last stand album.
Joakim the scuffed mic gmod quality levels of clarity
Awesome.
Thanks :)
"Its fucking kravchenko"
This deserves a movie
I wonder if we can get Indy to do introductions of Sabaton songs like in "Art of War" or the History Edition of "Great War"
This so much!
I love those He Man, Clint Eastwood and Scooby Doo flags behind Joakim. Old school all the way ! \m/
I think it's awesome that Joakim has a He-Man poster in the background. A man of culture. 💪
