Best part of the Screaming Eagles at Bastogne, after they held off the German attacks General Patton showed up and said he "rescued" the trapped paratroopers. To this day, not a single member of the 101st Airborne (The screaming eagles) ever agreed that they needed to be rescued by Patton. I really like how you research the song in the same video and I think you would really like the song "The Last Battle" by Sabaton.
Congratulation you are being rescued, please do not resist.
NUTS
Sounds like Poland. "Rescued" by the Russians.
Part of the lore of the 101st is that we were simply waiting for the weather to clear to get aerial resupply and CAS so we could counterattack into the German formations! So no, we didn't need to be freaking "Rescued"!
"They had us surrounded, the poor bastards..."
The reason why it said "to the german commander: NUTS" in the beginning is because when the US got offered to surrender before all of their soldiers died they just replied with something like "Nuts", its not officially confirmed that "nuts" was the exact word but it was something like that
people think it was an Acronym N.U.T.S. Not Understanding Terms of Surrender.
@@supersasukemaniac or it could be the US commander calling the German commander’s terms as crazy
Actually it was confirmed if recall pretty much the US commander had uttered the word NUTS previously during the day and when they got letter he didn't know how to reply to it so he just wrote NUTS.
It wasn't cicky it wasn't cleaver it was just something on the spot.
To add to this Nuts in American slang in the 1940’s meant “go to hell”
@@reecedignan8365 Technically the original interpreation by Colonel Joseph Harper was "You can tell them to take a flying shit" but his translator decided to say instead "Du kannst zum Teufel gehen" or "You can go to hell"
The "actors" that were in this video were actually real "re-enactors" they are part of 2 large WWII re-enactment groups, and Sabaton wanted them because they knew that all the uniforms and weapons and tactics would be historically accurate.
This one really gets me ,my father served in the 101st and it fills me with pride knowing he was in the single greatest Airborne division.
As did mine. At 70, I have had for years a National Match Garand that I mastered in his honor. Still good for the rifleman's quarter mile.
Where I live in The Netherlands there are a lot of monuments dedicated to the 101st, and I am grateful for the sacrifice they made for our freedom here
Don’t forget that Sabaton has another channel called Sabaton History if you want to know the history behind each of their songs that they have done
It is run by the same guy who is doing WWII in real time which is also well worth following
@@hi14993 yeah, Indy , Spartacus, Astrid and the rest are doing a astonishing job on ww2, like each week is summarised, and some battles are literally minute by minute at times (battle of midway). they cover espionage, concentration camps, home life during the war... HUGE resource for anyone interested in history
I saw Sabaton last night in Denver. Sabaton all but sold out the venue in one day after a quick reschedule due to the Judas Priest / Sabaton tour being cancelled (hope R. Faulkner is doing okay after his heart surgery). No opening act so they played a huge set list...another incredible show by Sabaton!
Great War, The Lion from the North and A Lifetime of War are three songs worthy of a reaction, Dave! Cheers!!
Let us not forget the new song that Tommy introduced
@@zachstoner 40 to 1 its an old song
@@pickamaterina1313 not that one. He rickrolled us in the audience
NUTS = Not Understand Terms of Surrender.
Next you need to hear the song "Carolus Rex". This song was sung in both English and Swedish lyrics and is about the Swedish king, Karl XII or "Carolus Rex" as he was called. Since this band is Swedish, their connection to this song and the whole album can not be understated. There's a reason why it's considered by fans as their best album. And not gonna lie, it's a damn great album!
Another good one is "40-1" it is one of their classics and the song that made them famous.
The eagle on the 101st's should patch was a real bald eagle! His name was "Old Abe". He was part of a Wisconsin regiment that fought for the Union in the Civil War. He rode into battle on a post carried by a soldier alongside the American Flag! There is a replica of him in the Wisconsin State Assembly, watching over all the debates and legislation.
If you've seen the "Band of Brothers" tv series .. this song is all about the battle of Bostogne where the Screaming Eagles were surrounded by germans and kept on fighting through friendly fire from mortars, ammo and food dropped on the germans instead of the americans, as well as the unrelenting german attacks until relief came and broke through the german lines to get them out. If you haven't seen the series, do so, it's awesome and of course Sabaton did an awesome job with this again as usual
oooops. correction.. the friendly fire and supply drops was on the Lost Betallion from WWI. my bad
@@greaper1976I was about to say somebody got their Sabaton songs mixed up lmao
First video I've seen of Sabaton, the next one was the Bismarck. Now I'm a big fan.! I Can't Get Enough Sabaton!
If he hasn't done them yet, I think he'd really like "Fields of Verdun" and "The Price of a Mile"
Ey dude just wanted to say that it's really cool of you to delve into the songs history a bit on your own like you've been doing. I figure it's pretty thankless when you've got a bunch of people telling you to do stuff differently so just wanted to say that it really is appreciated
i think this is where the saying "They surrounded us, the poor bastards." comes from.
Fun fact, the 101st were called the puking chickens in Vietnam. Also you really need to hear 'Fields of Verdun", "The Price of a Mile", "Last Dying Breath", and "A Lifetime of War". Each of them is not only an epic tale but so very sad. I have literally seen a dude tear up listening to 'The Price of a Mile" and "A Lifetime of War".
If you've ever watched the series Band of Brothers, that is the 101st Airborne Division. If you haven't seen that series, definitely do so. The reason you saw that Wikipedia article is because the unit still exists as an Air Assault unit.
I worked as a substitute art teacher a long time ago and a student told me to check out Sabaton, because he thought I might like them. I did what I was told to and this was the first song I TRIED to listen to. In all honesty I did not understand the concept at all at first. "The wrath of the nazis"?! Yeah, well, actually.. NO thank you! I thought maybe the boy trolled me. I don't always understand other peoples humor. THEN, years later, I heard Fields of Verdun on the car radio several times and really liked it without knowing who the artist behind it was. I was never really into military history (before Sabaton), so I didn't quite get what exactly the song was about, so I googled it. I was shocked to learn it was Sabaton - the band I gave up on the first try. So of course I went back to see who they are and what they are about and I'm so glad I did. They rock!
Thank u for reacting to this song its one of my favorite.
I wish more reactors would react to the Sabaton History episodes that corresponds to the songs. Something about seeing the "Oooooooh so that was-" hits just right.
Thanks Dave for another great reaction! I learned so much about history from Sabaton.
My grandpas unit directly supported the 101st at bastogne with artillery fire. Its the only battle he says he was proud to have been, (even indirectly) involved with.
I just love your calm voice when you talk.
N - ot
U - nderstanding
T - erms of
S - urrender
Look up Battle of Bastogne
2:10
That was a response to the Germans offering to accept a surrender from rather than continuing to fight the Americans.
They have a history channel explaining most of there songs that you can react to
A brilliant miniseries that follows a group from the 101st during the events in the song is "Band of Brothers."
we have been watching you on the erb ride. We love how you now research material (possibly too much lol) My husband did 2 tours in iraq with the 101st and this song has a special meaning in our home even if the sound is more for our teenagers lol. TY for doing this.
Great reaction Dave, for a bit more in depth explanation, research "Battle of the Bulge WW2" and just know that the division that the song is touching on is the 101st airborn as to not get lost in the info.
you got Sabaton history channel , were they explan all songs
Also the Germans told them to surrender or die and all they responded with was "NUTS!"
My ex was a Screaming Eagle late 60's until 79! He was 101st and 506th....their motto is CURAHEE, which is Cherokee for we stand alone! Yeah they made it out, my ex-husbands father was in the 2nd armored division in the European Theater during WWII! He said one time, "I thought I was a crazy bastard until I met a few of my old buddies in the 101st and found out how many different levels of crazy bastard there really are! As luck would have it my son, joined their ranks as a crazy bastard and that made me one proud daddy!"💕😉🤣
The 101st Airborne were paratroopers. Their nickname was "The Screaming Eagles". The 82nd Airborne was the "All Americans"
Epic reaction
When I make my own battles, I'd prolly request you for a review/reaction lol
One of the really cool aspects about Sabaton is that they maintain some kinda... neutrality, for a lack of a better word - showing multiple sides from different conflicts, and it somehow works. We're all humans, after all.
Why haven’t you subscribed to Sabaton History yet?
If you did, wouldn’t be so confusing and you wouldn’t run into so much conflicting and wrong information.
Love your name mate
You should check out Fields of Verdun, Warsaw, Devil Dogs, and 82nd all the way. Also the song To Hell and Back is about one of if not thee most warded soldier in the US military during WW2 who then suffered PTSD when he came back but was able to beat it and also stared in movies that depicted his achievements and battles. Also he lied about his age to join the war before he was 18.
You should really consider doing Sabaton's "The White Death" next it's one of my top favorites from them
Stop looking up song facts, watch Sabaton History. We will watch it with you. They will teach you about the history, writing the song and filming the video.
Another good one. This one is one I don't listen to often enough and might need to be added to my mix. Still need To Hell and Back or Shiroyama, man. I'd even settle for Winged Hussars at this point lol
Also the White Death who was a Finnish farmer who became a sniper when Russia invaded Finland. It is believed that he killed over 500 Russian soldiers half with his sniper rifle and half with his sub machine gun. One of the biggest thing about him is that he did not use a scope and instead used the Iron sights for n his gun so that the sun would not shine a glare off the glass giving his spot away, he also reportedly ate snow as so that his breath didn’t leave any smoke. The Russians hated him so much that they put out cash rewards for any who killed him, employed their own snipers to specifically hunt him, and would use artillery where they thought he was. Eventually one day he did get hit taking a bullet in the side f his face that took a big chunk of his cheek and jaw yet he survived the war.
The whole song is about the 101st division trapped in bastogne
Sabaton 🤗🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This was the Battle of the Bulge.
You literally read everything EXCEPT the best part of the battle.
So it begun, the song already told you that, people are fighting and dying. And then comes the German general with an offer of surrender for Americans.
If I remember correctly McAuliffe LITERALLY said ,,NUTS!". The German general asked somebody what it meant. And someone explained it to them that it means something like ,,Go f yourself!". The general said it has to be official and that's when the quote from 2:09 happened. It has to be official? So it is! ,,GO F YOURSELF" with signing, titles, ect.
It. Was. Fantastic.
I really wanted to see your face when you read about that because this story deserves LOVE.
You reading about a light airborne division and how effective it was amd how tactically used and me just sitting here smiling because i know the song is about a bunch of madlad paratroopers fighting elite tanks
thisis like a movie ... becouse it is from a movie part ... Band of Brothers !
"not understanding terms of surrender" I think it means.
Nuts
Never
Underestimate
Tank
Support
Also if you haven't yet I would recommend wrong side of heaven by five finger death punch
A little German lesson, because i saw your eyes by the line "Panzerkampfwagen emerge" this unnecessary long word "Panzerkampfwagen" simply means "Tank" but the exact translation would be "armoured fighting vehicle". We germans smash words together and get a new word in this instance: Panzerung = Armour , Kampf = Fight and Wagen =Wagon/vehicle.
If you ever watched the series Band of Brothers you know the story where they were pinned down in the forests of Bastogne. If not, it's well worth a watch. it's a very good TV series from HBO.
I highly recommend Sabaton Metal Ripper it's a tribute song to a few of the classics like Guns and Rose, AC/DC ECT.
Metal Machine too!!
Also, the foxholes are still there
You could do a double reaction one day.
Stan Ridgway and sabaton - camouflage. Such a good song but not realy historical, AND no one else is reacting on that song
Morning Dave! May I call you Dave? Love your reactions, But After reacting to The red baron, You should really react to the Royal Guardsmen Snoopy Vs the Red Baron
Also Sabatons Shiroyama next please!
there was a comment made i think during the battle of the bulge .... sir they have us surrounded commander no son we have them right where we want them
Seven pillars of wisdom next?
Primo Victoria and Purple Heart
Great work dave, you do som reasearch and turn on subs im impressed, now lets do the most important song from sabaton about holocasut, the final solution lyric video
Best part of sabaton. All you have to do is watch there history channel lol. Indy neidell does an amazing job
Check out the mini series band of brothers. Follows Easy Company (airborne, screaming eagles) really good
Now you need to do Fields of Verdun.
this is the second day of asking for panzerkampf in my opinion its sabaton's coolest song anf i also reccomend primo victoria and attack of the dead men
Band of Brothers is something you need to see. Gives some more extra weight for this song.
Hey Dave if you really want to get the full meaning of the songs what they are about I suggest you going to sabaton history channel and watching the episode after you listen to the song .
Highly recommend you check out Sabaton history channel.
Definitely not getting the right infomation, as others have mentioned, if you want the right info sabaton history is your best source. As far as the next song goes, i'd recommend the Defense of Moscow or Shiroyama.
I think some of us have been trying to tell you. Check the music video and check Sabaton History channel video for the music video for history lesson.
NUTS! Not Understanding Terms of Surrender...NUTS
If you ever want someone to help you pull info, just shoot me a message kinda a WW2 history nut and love researching about it
Bastogne is French so the "g" is not pronounced. Ba-stone is phonetically the correct pronunciation.
The foxhole they fought in are still visible today
dude do Uprising next
Highly recommend Band of Brothers
Please watch the sabaton history Videos to the Songs you reacting to and i really recommend watching hbo miniseries Band of brothers and the pacific
I don't know how. But you managed to find completely false information about the song.
The song is exclusively about the siege of Bastongne.
The 101st was dropped in to defend the vital cross roads. They were surrounded by the veteran's of the eastern front. The first actual trained unit the western front saw since the fall of France. And the small 101st was the face it alone.
One German officer was stupid enough to send the American commander terms of surrender. Given the 101st was outnumbered and surrounded with any hope of supplies or aid being days away. The 101st which was trained for this exact type of battle promptly ignored the the German and kept preparing defenses. When the German soldier's patience grew thin. He demanded a response to which the American commander said they had no intention of surrendering. The american commander ended up responding with NUTS, simply just to get rid of the German.
Later, the German head of the operation was rather angry at his subordinate to have even bothered to give the 101st terms of surrender knowing they'd never accept.
Weren't they there by accident, trying to get some rest after Normandy, only to discover that the entire German counter-offensive was trying to push through their village?
@@marcusc9931 no, they were supposed to get rest but they were the closest unit to go there and reinforce that sector.
@@marcusc9931 No, they were resting in a village. But when the German advance was spotted they were quickly assembled and send to go defend the coty at all cost. As they were the only unit that could reach the city fast enough. They were sent despite resting for an upcoming operation, which was canceled because of the German push.
@@6th_Army wasnt Bastogne seen as a low activity area where greener troops could get some experience in small skirmishes so thats where they sent the 101st to rest and then boom tanks roll up
look at sabaton history 1st because they do research everything before they make a video
you should react to Oliver Tree
why do you go on some doggy 3rd party web sites to get the meaning/history behind the song when Sabaton has a official web site with breath explanation behind every song? you just have to search the song then at the bottom of the lyrics you'll have 'HISTORY FACKS' and you wouldn't have to wander if you did the research on the correct subject. By the way I would love for you to listen to Sabaton-Inmate 4859 because the man that is the subject of that song is a proper Legend. Peace n' love from Poland
The more I hear about the German army in the world wars, it seems like they picked too many fights and were at terrible odds in that regards, but they did have great production and vehicles, and offensives and shock tactics, but also that the commanders and anyone with administrative power were mostly idiots and they were terrible at defense. Probably a bit wrong, but just what I've heard over my many years as a Brit.
