We’re suckers for EPIC stories and last stands. Are you? If so, we want to know what your favourite last stand is!!! WE'RE LISTENING!
P.S. Don't forget, you can support Sabaton History on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sabatonhistory
@sabatonhistory do you know what 7734 is based on
To name a few: US-Filipino forces at Bataan WW2, British in Hong Kong WW2, 55 Days at Peking even though it wasn’t a last stand it was definitely a siege, Vorbeck in WW1 when he finally surrendered even though it also wasn’t a last stand his forces were the last Germans fighting the war.
I love it last stand but loving the truth over things is a nice thing only . The truth is I sucks ok great only😅😅. Yeah our pride is hurt to the core but the truth is we make the right choice or no other way you know.....
😍☺️💞💓💗💖💖💝💯
Yet still no song about the Alamo.
"Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War
the price of a mile
I actually remember that line and I got hella goosebumps reading it
Where I remember it from too. @@xavierlahr1598
'Death Ground'
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."
-Sun Tzu, The Art of War (X - Terrain, 25)
I always love it when the email comes announcing a new Sabaton History episode. 🙂
The bearer of metal news 😎
@@SabatonHistory hell yeah
Oh! So that's what Joakim was doing while the rest of the band came on stage at the end of the last Nightwish show of that tour...with Hannes wearing one of Floor's outfits.
What a pleasant surprise that you mentioned Zrinski. I hope Sabaton will someday record a song about that battle.
Same. I even submitted the siege of Szigetvár as a proposal for a song topic (maybe 2 years ago) on the Sabaton website. :D
Another battle that would fit this episode perfectly is the battle of Zadwórze in 1920. A battalion of Polish volunteers from the nearby Lwów (now Ukrainian Lviv) stood there against the whole 1st Calvary Army of Semyon Budyonny, significantly contributing to preventing their city from being taken. Which was also important for the overall strategic situation and Polish victory in the whole war. Out of 330 soldiers, only twelve survived. The battle of Zadwórze very much rivals Wizna for the title of "Polish Thermopylae."
The last stand of Capt. Ben Salomon. The regimental dental officer of the 2nd Battalion, 105th Infantry Regiment, 27th Infantry Division. He was in charge of the field hospital at the battle of Saipan as the regular surgeon had been injured. When the Japanese counter attacked and overran the position he ordered the wounded evacuated and stayed behind to hold back the enemy. After the four men manning the machine gun were killed he took it over single handed, after being shot at least once his blood trail shows that he repositioned it at least four times. He was found after the battle with quote "His body had 76 bullet wounds and many bayonet wounds, up to 24 of which may have been received while he was still alive." There were 98 enemy dead piled in front of his position. The battle of Saipan was his first active combat.
He was initially passed over for the Medal of Honor due to a misunderstanding of the restrictions on medical personal, but near constant campaigning on his behalf later succeeded in an award in 2002. He remains to this day the only dentist to have earned the Medal of Honor.
There's a few other dudes who got the MoH in Saipan during that Yokzai. Forget his name but some Sgt or other had his stretcher bearers shot while carrying him. Not wanting others to get shot on his part, has asked to be sat up against a tree with a 1911 and a cigarette. They found him surrounded by 8 bodies and an empty gun that only had 8 bullets.
Fu*king hell!
I knew that the Nightwish "we can make sh*t disappear too!" prank sounded familiar, and that's when I remembered that it was included in Nightwish's "We Were Here" book...page 211, in case anyone is curious. Great prank, haha! Edit: By the way, I'm gonna need pics of the Sabaton guys in drag hahaha
Fun fact! The original last name of Nikola's family was Šubić and that was the most prominent and the most important Croatian medieval noble family and they were originally from central Dalmatia. There estates were located in the triangle between modern cities of Zadar, Šibenik and Knin. They were a very rebelious family always trying to rule their estates without fulfilling their obligations to the king whose throne was in Budapest. One of the most prominent members in the 14th century was Pavao I Šubić who even managed to bring Carl I Anjou on the the throne of the Croatian-Hungarian Kingdom after the extinction of the Hungarian Arpad dynasty. Interestingly enough Carl's son Louis managed to break the power of the Šubić family even forcing them to relocate from central Dalmatia up north to the castle of Zrin thus the Šubić family becoming the Zrinski family or "Zrinyi" as the Hungarians love to call the family.
Actually, the Subic family distinguished themselves in the war against Venice in the mentioned 14th century, which is why they were gifted Zrin by king Louis I - as their original lands (the ones you mentioned) were at or near the coastline, so those were absolutely ravaged by the war as the Venetians were a very difficult enemy. (Of course, this also might have been a political game to gain their favor, difficult to ascertain from many hundred years past, but nevertheless Zrin was gifted to them.)
The Hungarian version of his name is "Zrínyi" but it is not what "Hungarians love to call the family", it is what they called themselves when they were dealing with Hungarian affairs. At the time it was common practice to "translate" names when addressing them in foreign documents - and Zrinski wanted to be a prominent figure in Hungarian politics (besides of leading Croatian politics) in order to gain more support to quell the Ottoman attacks. Everybody did this, even kings "translated" their names.
He even learned Hungarian to communicate with his subjects and troops (as he had quite a few Hungarian lands as well). He even arranged some marriages with Hungarian families to further gather support - as he knew he couldn't count on the Habsburg king with whom he was not on good terms.
Nevertheless, in Hungary everybody knows he was Croatian, so no need for this kind of negative undertone, nobody is trying to "steal" your national hero. I believe it is a rather positive thing if somebody is so incredibly respected by others that they even think of said "outsider" as one of their own. This doesn't mean that these people are trying to erase who that person was.
Also, for the people who stood their ground even in the face of certain death, nationality was not important (e.g. as far as I know there was no actual list how many of the soldiers at Szigetvár were Croatians or Hungarians - of course, it might be that it just didn't survive), they only cared about who is with them and who is against them. The unquestionable fact is that Zrinski had plenty of Croatian and plenty of Hungarian troops, just like he had both Croatian and Hungarian nobles who helped him (and also had nobles from both nationalities who didn't join him at Szigetvár - he was expecting at least double the army he had). They made the ultimate sacrifice regardless of nationality, therefore I think it is pretty much justified to celebrate them as heroes in both countries.
The miracle of Empel in 1585 where the spanish troops stood in a hill against the duch army and navy (because they flooded the land). They discovered a painting of Mary of the immaculate Conception and the next day the river froze allowing the spanish to attack the ships and defeating the dutch. Since that Mary of the immaculate conception is the patroness of the spanish infantry
My favorite battle was the Battle of Myeongnyang. Where Admiral Yi had 13 ships vs 330 Japanese vessels and won!! The Koreans did a movie on it. Yi had only 2 dead and 3 wounded on his flagship. Would love a song about it!!!
You could make an album about Yi alone
Remember the Alamo! A very famous last stand that Sabaton should make a song about. Also love the Last Stand of the Swiss Guard.
YES! The delay that caused General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna helped Houston buy the time needed to gather what he could. Rather pivotal in Texas breaking away from Mexico.
I’m from San Antonio and I really really want them to make a song about the Alamo!!!!!
Honestly they should cover the Marty Robbins song.
Still looking for Pasadena 1994. This epic battle needs to be covered.
Didn't Nanowar of Steel cover that one?
@johannw7933 Not a sabaton history episode, only the song.
@@johannw7933 Not a cover, but a parody of Sabaton.
when the French Foreign Legion nearly died to a man in Mexico at the battle of Camaron.
They should do a song about it or about Bir Hakeim
Don't forget the Battle of Westerplatte. 200 polish soldiers completely surrounded by German troops and territory stood their ground for an entire week against a battleship, bombers and infantry.
"In the end, when all has been settled, all that matters is duty." May Sabaton make more songs about last stands.
Well great.... Now we need a second Last stand Album....
A good example "The Last Stan" is the so-called "Battle of Concepción" in the Pacific War between Chile and Peru, 77 Chilean soldiers who were not older than 22 years stayed and resisted the attack of more than 3,000 Peruvians for one day. , the Chileans entrenched themselves in the town and as the soldiers began to retreat until the last ones took refuge in an old church, after several hours of resisting and the church on fire, after numerous calls to surrender, the last 6 soldier opened the doors and amidst the smoke and fire they came out with a ballonet charge and found their death in a volley of bullets from the Peruvians.
That sounds like a very interesting story to tell! Thank you for sharing it with us 🤘
@@SabatonHistoryI've always wanted to get some Sabaton song about the war of the Pacific(also known as saltpeter war) there's plenty of sabaton worthy events and people from both sides of the war like the Peruvian admiral Miguel Grau known here on chile as the gentleman of the seas or the chilean captain Arturo Pratt that fought to the bitter end with his battered wooden frigate against the Peruvian ironclad. There's also of the first modern times amphibious landings at pisagua the daring assault of the Morro de Arica the brave Peruvian defense of their capital and them the continued resistance of Avelino Cáceres known as the wizard of La sierra(the name given to the highlands of Central Peru that) that dared the Chileans to come get him and dragged the war at least 2 extra years and that brings us the battle mentioned by OP where important to note Ignacio Carrera Pinto the chilean commander was a lieutenant (was promoted earlier but never got the notification) ans he also was the gran kid of one of our founding fathers ans he was also the nephew of the chilean president that was in office at the start of the war and along side the 77 soldiers (some of wich were sick with dysentery and other ailments) were 3 women that were cantineras (kinda like combat nurses) 2 little kids and one baby that was born during the battle and all of them were eventually murdered after all the soldiers died and just 6 hours later reinforcements would arrive and see the carnage that had befallen their brothers in arms. And the final twist of fates Caceras was finally defeated and survived only because luck was on his personal side at the battle of humachuco 1 year to the date of the battle of La concepcion
Thanks so much for mentioning Camerone ! I feel like I've been harassing the band for years now to make a song about this one. Small piece of trivia, every year, on April 30th, Camerone day, each Legion unit has a celebration, and the wooden hand of capitaine Danjou is marched around in a military parade at the Foreign Legion's home of Aubagne.
This is a bit of a foundational event for the unit, which back then was about 30 years old, and although already an elite troop, really came into its own after that. Honouring the precursor heroes who fell over in mexico became one of the great rallying cries for the legionnaires of the following generations. These days, with the Legion itself being one of the most recognizable units in the world, and of course in France, Camerone is one of the staples that always comes to mind when you ask a Frenchman about last stands.
“The Legion dies, it does not surrender.”
So cool hearing these stories, both the last stands and pranks, great work Indy, Pär and Joakim!
The Battle off Samar is a very good example of a Last Stand.
Please, Sabaton: do a song about it.
Happy to see you guys talking about 1 of our croatian great soliders would be nice to get a song about šubić zrinjski and the siege of siget
I always love it when these History Videos come out. METAL!!🤘🤘Love from Korea!
And here I am taking the homework seriously. 😂 I couldn't find the origin of last show band pranks, but honestly, it's a bunch of young dudes on the road, with zero supervision, zero impulse control, and senses of humor like their 10 year old selves. In other words, I'd be more surprised if pranks didn't happen. Best pranks I found were The Man In Black releasing 500 baby chicks in a hotel in Omaha, NE, where I live now. And Black Sabbath staying in a creepy castle writing Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in 1973 and scaring each other so badly with ghost pranks they had to leave the castle. Yes. The Prince of Darkness was scared away from a haunted castle by fake ghost stuff. 👻🦇
I really liked that they put in the "The Last battle" (which is my favorite song) for the first last stand story.. Amazing History lesson
Since you told about the battle of Camerone I would like to type about another last stand. One of the greatest Last Stand in the History of the FFL was the battle of Bir-Hakeim (26th may - 11th june 1942). Rommel and its Afrika Korps were winning against the Allies in North Africa. The british needs time to reinforce their lines at El-Alamein and asked the first free french division to gave them time, the french should stand at least 4-5 days, they held 15-16 days. At 3.700 against 37.000 axis soldiers, the french stood strong and managed to push back the attacks launched by Rommel. After succesfully stopping the Axis advance in North Africa, the french troops leaved their position. Rommel lost 15 days trying to get rid of these little lines, he said "I never had a toughiest fight than against the french in North Africa". The FFL wasn't alone, there was the Bataillon du Pacifique (Tahiti, French New Caledonia) and the Fusiliers Marins (troops from Britanny). Free France showed to the Allies that it was a reliable fighting force that is capable of fighting the Axis.
Hey Sabaton have you ever heard of "Wojtek" Poland's Soldier Bear of WWII. He was hands down the most unusual participant of WWII. Just imagine a 300 pound bear carrying cases of Artillery Shells to Polish Artillerymen. That kind of unusual. I hope this is noticed and turned into a song one day.
I named my cat after Wojtek. Fitting, cause he's a real fighter.
They've done a video about that bear.
Funny story. Bad song. Would be pretty cringe
@@luciusgarvous---We'll see
America had a similar situation in the Vietnam war, where a horse named Reckless delivered ammunition and shells across the active battlefield of hills and mountains for days straight. It's a very interesting event in American history
I appreciate how every song used for the clips is consistently out of left field
You know there *is* a Sabaton Stalingrad song
A one of my favorite last stands was during the battle of Chickamauga during the American Civil War in 1863 when General Thomas Henry and his men faced a massive confederate force, so the rest of the Union army could retreat. He became known as the Rock of Chickamauga.
You, touring in the same places with Nightwish, made a wonderful rocking familly: Hannes&Floor&Freya&Lucy. And that is amazing. Nobody, never, did something so wonderfull.
Sabaton and Nightwish! Awesome.
Woo Hoo! New episode!
I've always found the French Foreign Legion's last stand in Mexico and the Battle of Pavlov's House to be fascinating (myths and inaccuracies aside)
Call of Duty fans have goosebumps of the story of Pavlov house... Right? Right? Yeah, I know, I have them too, since that was the best Call of Duty multiplayer map.
nice to catch this early
I love whenever there is an additional info over a specific topic for which Sabaton have done songs!
But speaking of pranks and jokes - is there any chance of you ever doing an episode of a song of another band (like you did with 1916 and other about Manowar etc) in which there is some participation from Sabaton? I am talking about Nanowar of Steel - Pasadena 1994 (featuring a D-Daily reporter from Sweden)
I can’t wait for next year with more sabaton history and new album 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I'd humbly suggest that it's far past time for Sabaton to send in the gurkhas. Consider for a moment the VC citation for one Lachiman Gurung.
"At Taungdaw, in Burma, on the west bank of the Irrawaddy, on the night of 12th / 13th May 1945, Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung was manning the most forward post of his platoon. At 0120 hours at least 200 enemy assaulted his Company position. The brunt of the attack was borne by Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung's section and by his own post in particular.
This post dominated a jungle path leading up into his platoon locality. Before assaulting, the enemy hurled innumerable grenades at the position from close range. One grenade fell on the lip of Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung's trench: he at once grasped it and hurled it back at the enemy. Almost immediately another grenade fell directly inside the trench. Again this Rifleman snatched it up and threw it back. A third grenade then fell just in front of the trench. He attempted to throw it back, but it exploded in his hand, blowing off his fingers, shattering his right arm and severely wounding him in the face, body and right leg. His two comrades were also badly wounded and lay helpless in the bottom of the trench.
The enemy, screaming and shouting, now formed up shoulder-to-shoulder and attempted to rush the position by sheer weight of numbers. Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung, regardless of his wounds, fired and loaded his rifle with his left hand, maintaining a continuous and steady rate of fire. Wave after wave of fanatical attacks were thrown in by the enemy and all were repulsed with heavy casualties.
For four hours after being severely wounded Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung remained alone at his post, waiting with perfect calm for each attack, which he met with fire at point-blank range from his rifle, determined not to give one inch of ground. Of the 87 enemy dead counted in the immediate vicinity of the Company locality, 31 lay in front of this Rifleman's section, the key to the whole position. Had the enemy succeeded in over-running and occupying Rifleman Lachhiman Gurung's trench, the whole of the reverse slope position would have been completely dominated and turned.
This Rifleman, by his magnificent example, so inspired his comrades to resist the enemy to the last, that, although surrounded and cut off for three days and two nights, they held and smashed every attack. His outstanding gallantry and extreme devotion to duty, in the face of almost overwhelming odds, were the main factors in the defeat of the enemy"
Thank you for telling us more than they did in school. 😢
Awesome
i was just watching the videos about the dead men and now i got another video to watch, thanks guys :D
My favourite last stand was the War in Tauranga
During the first half of 1864 the focus of the New Zealand Wars shifted from Waikato to Tauranga. In this phase of the conflict the British suffered a catastrophic defeat at Pukehinahina - better known as the Gate Pā - before inflicting heavy losses on a Māori force at Te Ranga
Interesting. Sounds similar to how they suffered a devastating defeat by the Zulus at the battle of Isalwanda before winning a last stand fight on Rorke's Drift in 1879 during the Anglo Zulu war.
@@user-cu6qq9bp2t yeah it wasn’t the end of the wars in New Zealand, the British were monsters in New Zealand and that’s a lot coming from me since I myself am from England
Lindybeige does a really good episode on Gate Pa, well worth checking out
after reading the memoirs of one of the survivors in the book "soldier against the odds", the last stand of the glostershire regiment at gloster hill overlooking the imjin river in korea stuck in my mind.
Our dosis of history its here !!!!
Majoor Landzaat, at the Grebbeberg 1940. He kept fighting in his commandpost after the lines were breached and he died after sending his soldiers away. After the war he was awarded the Militaire Willems Orde posthumous.
Mexico mentioned!! \o/ 🦂🦂🦂
Fortress of Szigetvár is in a very nice condition. They have renovated it, there are some events time by time and the city itself is pretty interesting and it has a spa. Worth a visit if anyone is in south Hungary.
I love how Par is watching Indy and Joakim if they dont forget something and is standing next to machine gun. Just to be sure the will not forget something when he has that ready 😂
It's a great day when there is more Sabaton History!
Great episode, thanks.🙏
MSG Gary Gordon and SFC Randy Shughart’s last stand in Mogadishu during Operation Gothic Serpent in 1993
Camerone 1863! Tack så mycket Indy och Sabaton, Ive been waiting for you to make a topic on this. Någonting som nästa"last stands" platta behöver ha en sång om (givetvis i sann anda, dov, sorgsen men med stolthet - gärna sjungen i chanson såklart)
I can't believe he didn't talk about the alamo. It fits the criteria perfectly
I of my favorite land stands is the 101s battle of the bulge.
That isn't a last stand. They win!
Camaron is an example of why I consider the Legion equal to the toughest and most determined of my country's troops, whom I hold in very high regard.
As always teaching us very interesting facts about war History. Thank you.
I would like to mention some more last stands and maybe offer some ideas about a future video, who knows?
1) The siege of the city of Messologi of 1825-1826 during the Greek war of independence
2) The battle of the Metaxas line in April 1941 (Greco-German conflict of the Second World War). Despite outnumbert and outgunned against the Wehrmacht (and while we had been at war against Italy for over five months) our forces stood their ground and fought bravely inflicting heavy casualties upon the enemy. Notably sergeant Dilitrios Itsios and two of his soldiers managed to kill nearly 200 Germans before running out of munition and forced to surrender.
3) The last stand of Gregory Auxentiou (Γρηγόρης Αυξεντίου) of March 1957. During the EOKA rebelion against British colonial rule (1955-1959), EOKA officer Gregory Auxentiou fought bravely alone against numerically superior British forces until he was eventually killed in battle but not before managing to inflict casualties among the enemy forces.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Hellas 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🙏🙏🙏☦️☦️☦️🇬🇷🇬🇷🙏🙏🎄🎄🇬🇷
The last stand of Ottoman governor Abdurrahman Abdi Pasha the Albanian was so heroic that his enemies erected a memorial stone that says; "The last governor of the 145 year long occupation of Buda, Abdurrahman Abdi Pasha the Albanian fell at this place on September 2, 1686, when he was 70 years old. He was a heroic enemy, may he rest in peace."
Last stands are just sick 💯
Awesome video, thank you all!
My favorite last Battle is the Varus Battle.
Ok, it's not a real last Battle because the romans wanted revenge for their 3 Legions.
But Tiberius decided the border is the Rhine and so the German fought finally fought for their freedom
I hoped for a clip from the "Princess of the dawn" in the end, awesome prank!
Man I love this videos and Indy just tells the history so damn well! Great tour stories, too. ❤
The Hippie prank has to be the best for being so theme fitting
Could this be the prelude to the songs on a new album?
i always wonder if Sabaton can make a song about the 332th fighter squadron, better know as the red tails....the black pilots that fight against the luftwaffe....or about Erich Hartmann, the most deadly pilot of WW2.
I loved the stories of the pranks.
♥
🖤
Hey Sabaton, would you make song about Czechoslovakian legionaries in Russia after WW1 please? They went from Russia to Czechoslovakia through USA (yes, nearly all around globe) and captured huge part of Transsiberian magistral. I think they deserve a song from you.
Anyway, great video and songs , continue with what are you doing!
Yes that journey really deserves a Sabaton Song ...
when it comes to dying. I am more afraide of faidnig away as a. as a old gray dememted man. then one final stand that might make you imortal or at least your unit. .
I would have liked to have seen that Nightwish & Sabaton tour in Silver Spring. That was before I really got into either band though; that was the earliest I even discovered Sabaton, with Carolus Rex. I was at their show in 2019 when Silver Spring was again the last stop of the tour. Didn't notice any pranks on Hammerfall, but we did have Swedish Goats.
Best band ever. Sabaton really needs to do a song about Pavlov's house.
Sabaton music led me into the history. So I started to do some research from my side . I am a South African and I did find that some South African s did took part in the Delville battle where a South African received the Victoria cross for bravery.
Do I smell another EP coming? (I stopped the video on 15:04)
The first time I saw Sabaton was on the 2006 tour opening for Dragonforce in Vosselaar. That was also a last show of the tour if I remember correctly. Was quite funny to see the guys join Dragonforce on stage wearing barely anything.
Following on from Bull Allen would love to see a history of surgeon "Weary" Dunlop, Hell Fire Pass and Simpson and his Donkey, Gallipoli.
I have to mention two Examples of last stands one the charge of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment as well as the defense of Wake inland
AYYYYYEEEE SILVERSPRING MARYLAND woooooo!!!!
Is this a hint that another last stand album is coming?
This is great! How about a revisit of The Rise of Evil and talk about fascism in Italy and Japan?
Get Hannes on the show!
The "water balls" they are talking about are filed with the same stuff as baby napy's (deipers) and hold a LOT of water but becouse it hold so much water it feels wet but it is not. greets from The Netherlands!
The Battle of Bataan can certainly be considered a last stand. A minor battle compared to Midway or Stalingrad, but it had the benefit of messing up the Japanese invasion timetable. And it also rendered an entire Area Army combat-ineffective, at least for a time.
Loved the content like always!!, but I cannot understand why it's never an Spanish last stand, our history is plagued with valiant defeats, from the Santísima Trinidad in Trafalgar to the tercios in Rocroi, Empel or Castelnuovo to name some, we have 2nd of May. Sooooo many cool stories of defiance against all odds, some wins, some defeats. We would love Sabaton to at least once, speak about us :(
Thanks for your message! Don't hesitate to send us your ideas for new songs, we love to have you guys involved 😉
Battle of Czajankova kasárna in Místek Is good example of last stand it was battle between Czechoslovak and German soldiers before ww2
The defence of Snipe.
This whole time i thought this song was about a video i saw on Yarnhub about Austrian troops protecting French diplomats, or something like that, with the Americans
I nice videos!
8:44 He said this from the afterlife apparently! xD
Indy the little Drummer Boy
Bismarck should have been on the Last Stand album.
Indy, how could you not mention the Alamo? There is always a great story there.
So surprised you mentioned the siege of Szigetvár 😮
Maybe "first Serbian uprising" many battles were epic and heroic....big respect and regards from Belgrade
Fuck, I seem to be out-growing Sabaton's music and antics... SIGH
Par playing prank on the band of his "wife/girlfriend" is really funny
They should do a song about 2 rep sniper Dominiquie Vandenberg a legend in the French foreign legion
That sounds interesting indeed, thanks! Try sending your idea to us through our website so we can check it out for the future 🤘
I really the liked Stalingrad (1949) scene. The cinematography was masterfully done and the action depicted was cruel and cold, probably just as it was back in 42-43.
Edit: I'm still waiting for Sabaton to release a song about Purple Heart Lane. A game called Brothers in Arms even had the After Action Report (AAR) of the actions taken that day, as well as accounts from other screaming eagles during Cole's Charge.
I'm pregnant and i'm naming my child Sabaton ❤
Im surprised no one mentioned the Alamo at all
