- Welcome to Just Jen Reactions! @Sabaton "Soldier Of Heaven" tells a story about White Friday in the Alps during WWI. White Friday actually took place on Wednesday December 13, 1916. Thousands of men died defending their lands. There was a series of avalanches that decimated the soldiers, and their basecamps. The beginning of this reaction video starts off with a history lesson on White Friday, credit of @JeremyKlown channel. @SabatonHistory channel is also a phenomenal source for history lessons!!! @Sabaton is like no other band ever. These Swedish men always BRING IT when it comes to their music! It's like a breath of fresh air, music that holds actual substance. I am honored to be a reactor, they always give their all, and I hope to meet them one day!!!

I believe the stone at the end says "dedicated to all those unknown heroes who never came home"
Thank you!!! I couldn’t see it with Pär’s handsome face blocking it!
Lest we forget.
Just watched another movie reaction and Pars face didn't cover it until you got to read it.
Yup, the dove shows up I start bawling!
@@JustJenReacts if you watch the whole video the stone shows up the text clear and visible
Been listening to this band well over a decade. Seen them live and met them a well, got to do shots of Jägermeister with Joakim and Par. One of the best power metal bands in the game. A flow of emotions every time. Good to see people continuing to be introduced and enjoying them. I learned a lot about history through them. Awesome video Jen.
Documentary: War is ugly. Grown ups have to open their eyes. If you look away, you pretend it's all alright. Wounded soldiers come home badly injured. Physically and mentally. So when I see a deformed body, I don't look away. I can only imagine what they've been through.
War ain’t pretty. Never has been, never will be. I can’t even begin to imagine what they all go through. It’s horrific any way you look at it.

Sabaton: A History lesson in every song!
the pitch shift in joakims vocals & the instruments during the final chorus gave me chills the first time i heard this song,
its as if the soliders soul finally found peace after roaming the Blood-mountain since 1916.
Lest we forget all the unknown heroes who never came home 🌹🌹
Greetings Jen. My introduction to Scandinavian/European metal bands, began when my Son and Daughter in Law took my Wife and I to a Sabaton concert. Truly amazing that these guys write/perform incredible songs and give us a history lesson, at the same time! And, like you I've become addicted to these bands ranging from Sabaton, Nightwish, Epica, and others. Many of these bands have amazing, thought provoking lyrics as well!
Great video! I love that you watched the documentary too!
One thing. There're 2WW planes and people think it's a mistake as that was 1WW. It's not. The soul has stayed there for so many years that he witnessed the 2WW battles.
I won’t be going anywhere
I will guard this post forever
I saw the end of war
I watched the soldiers come and go
And I kept my watch forever
Thanks Jen for an honest, sincere and fantastic reaction. True is, war ain't pretty, never will be. With Sabaton, we will always be remembered what happened in different wars than has been running all over the globe. They are one of the best bands nowadays. Love them.
Wow! Great reaction. This really puts you on the top shelf of reactors! Awesome!!
Thanks for the history information. It is always cool to dive into the story behind the Sabaton songs.
That color footage of the battle and fighting in the documentary is from Peter Jackson's film 'They Shall Not Grow Old'. Days worth of WWI footage painstakingly slowed to actual speed and colorized. Professional forensic lip readers were used to read the soldeirs' lips and write what they were saying, and then men from the regiments' various regions were brought to read the words in the proper accents. It also uses recordings from the BBC archive of interviews with British WWI vets from the 60's. It is an amazing film, and I highly suggest watching it sometime.
Jen one of the plenty reasons that i appreciate you,is that you honor and you show your love to the unknown kids who gave their lifes..and never ever had someone to moorn over their graves...you belong to a minority...and i really apppreciate you....a dedicated fan.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers Jen! Amazing howmuch your channel has grown, you deserve all the succes!
thank you jen, love your reactions. this song brought tears to my eyes also
Wow!! 100k!! I was there when you watched your first NW video. Aside from your huge fanbase, I'm so proud of your personal growth since then. Whenever I need an upper, I don't need to go to the medicine cabinet, just need to find a Floor or Just Jen Reaction to set things right. Two ladies from different worlds, but possessing the same spirit.
Awww 🥰 Nightwish never left my side when I needed them the most, so I will never leave theirs. Sabaton allowed me to have an epic evening with my oldest, so I shall never leave them either! Loyalty is everything to me!! Thanks for staying subbed this whole time!!! It’s so cool when I see comments like yours!!!
I've been waiting to see someone react to this video and just found yours. This is probably my favorite songs of theirs so far.
The reference "I saw the end of war" in the song from the quote "Only the dead have seen the end of war" is just so powerful!!
Thanks so much for offering the BG Infos in front, as most had no idea, what the Song is all about. I had some conversation some days agon with some italian users, and we figured it out to this event. And we were right;) great reaction again!!!
Love it, another Sabaton Gem that teaches us and helps us to learn and NOT forget. We are better people for listening and learning. Thank you Jen
You were fast with reaction. Thx for reaction and love from Finland :)
Nice reaction video. You deliver time after time. So do Sabaton!
I was introduced to Sabaton in 2015 at Charlotte, NC when they were touring with Nightwish. I had never heard of them before that night, but it was love at first sight.
thank you for sharing your fathers story Jen. its important veterans stories get shared.
This Song is Just an emotional masterpiece... As everything they throw at you.
I saw Sabaton Back in 2009 in Berlin. A small Club with maybe 500 peeps in it. It was awsome Back then. Now i will see them in March in the Mercedes Benz Arena, a giant Stadium, again, supported by the hu and lordi. This will be a lifetime experience. After this one and Christmas truce it only can be good
Hi Jen great reaction adding the documentary with it! You are right about some of those scenes looking so real and that is because they were actual videos recorded at the time. I recognize some of them, Peter Jackson and his team upscaled and colorized all of them for that WW1 documentary he did not too long ago (I'm forgetting the name) Happy New Year Btw!
Happy new year to you as well! Love the Spaceballs-themed screen name!!!
absolutely love their music. this song was the first time i had ever heard of white friday
J.R.R. Tolkien who wrote the Lord of the Rings had fought in WW1 in the British army and in 1916 his unit was sent to fight in the Battle of the Somme ,On 27 October 1916, as his battalion attacked Regina Trench, Tolkien contracted trench fever, a disease carried by lice. He was invalided to England on 8 November 1916 his unit was almost wiped out during the fighting in the Somme. he drew many things from his time in the war to be used in his writing.
Yea wasn't he in the Anzac
@@theconvictedquokka no, he was BEF - Lancashire Fusiliers.11th Battalion
@@2104dogface o shit that's cool my granddad was in gallipoli then went to the western front and he said he would rather the western front then gallipoli
@@theconvictedquokka wow, thats crazy, i got to meet a few WW1 vets as a kid and that had some stories, but nothing like those who fought in the early parts of the war. have you seen the mini series with Paul Hogan ANZAC's the war down under it covers that whole time frame it deff worth watching if you can find it
Love…love your reactions….your great 👍
Beautiful and sad, Sabaton is amazing!
War is not pretty, but people need to see it. Just like they need to see the results of car accidents and work injuries when people ignore the basic safety rules. I think it is the best prevention of repeating stupid mistakes that cannot be corrected. It hits you like nothing else.
I liked it. They are awesome a fantastic band and giving us a little time travel back in time to know our history
I also saw sabaton, 2015 the first time.
It was mindblowing.
And the 2nd time was 2017 in Japan, with amon amarth.
Absolutly great.
Loved this reaction! This starting video was so interesting before the song. So sad and brutal 😥
Between this one and Christmas Truce, the new album is shaping up to be awesome!
Agreed!! I cannot wait!!!
Sabaton being amazing as always they always deliver 😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
I cant wait for my copy of the album to come
iam sure the Grave stone reads "Dedicated to all those unkown Heroes who never came home" Jen :)
Thank you 🙏 my dear friend
@@JustJenReacts no problem Jen, iam watching most of your videos just lurking in the background a litte more.
since one of the People in the comments thought i was a member of Nightwish^^
The photo at 10.30 is used as cover art for the album "alpenpässe" by Minenwerfer, really good atmospheric black metal.
That British soldier carrying the wounded man through that trench, the regiment is the East Lancashire Fusiliers.
Hi Jen, subscriber from Sydney Australia here. Love the channel, especially the Sabaton, Nightwish and all metal genres really. Love you to react to Ad Infinitum, great symphonic metal band fronted by Melissa Bonny. I can recommend Animals, or Afterlife from their second album Chapter 2 Legacy. Its themed around the various iterations of the Dracula story (Vlad the Impaler, Bram Stoker etc.) Very cool band and Melissa has a great voice, including amazing growls. Keep up the great work.. you are an inspiration!
Awww thanks!! Ahhh yes, Melissa Bonny’s band, right?! My good friend Puuhis71 always requests them on my live streams!!! I typically live stream at 3pm EST, so I know that’s like late for you amazing Aussie’s, or are you guys already on the next day when I’m streaming?! I don’t know the time difference, please forgive me!!!
they awesome they do history they awesome jen xxx
haven't watched the full video yet, but I read the wiki page for White Friday, and the 1st Battalion of the Imperial Rifle Regiment Nr.III only managed to recover just under 15% of the bodies
I'm a huge history nerd love history and I'm a giant Sabaton fan
Usually, you can find the history of an event in the songs on the Sabaton History Channel
the actual track is awesome
The inscription on the tombstone says "Dedicated to all those unknown heroes who never came home"
Was wondering which reacter would get to this first lol. Happy New Year from Pittsburgh
@Just Jen! That’s me!!! Lol
Death is the only Victor in any war...

Eiiiiiii youre the first reactor !!
Jen, i love u, u r so own what u r. :D Hac to from Finnland
Thank you for choosing to show the mini-documentary. Yes it is graphic. But it is so important that people actually see what happens, the true horror of combat, and maybe to try and feel how totally scared many soldiers on the front line must be. And to imagine how psychologically traumatised many of those who manage to return home to their families are. And how it can impact on them (and their families) lives for many years after combat ends. Society needs to learn. And our politicians need to learn not to treat our brave soldiers so badly and not to engage in war just for power, political ideologies and philosophies. (I'm a pacifist and believe that our armed forces should only be used to prevent genocide....and maybe in some cases self-defence as an absolute last resort).
Thanks again Jen for showing it.
And thank god for Sabaton (I'd never seen or heard any of their stuff before I found Just Jen Reacts!)....they paint pictures with their lyrics....providing us with a snapshot of our sometimes tragic history...and they make sure we don't forget....
I played Franz Ferdinand in a school play musical
They’re still finding bodies of men and animals frozen in the ice up on those mountains
That’s so crazy. I hope they all Rest In Peace 😔
Sabaton kicks ass
It’s snowing here
nice wording how u finished jen ur a angel love to ya boys also xxx
I think an underrated line from the song is, I have seen it all but none will hear my story. Without sabaton that would true for so many hero's stories.
САМАЯ ЛУЧШАЯ РЕАКЦИЯ
love see your video I'm taiwan fan😁
there first one was a rail-way-gun not the SCHWERE GUSTAV tho, because you cant get a photo of a 800mm
ur right its sad where is the love
anyone else like seeing the WW2 planes during a WW1 event??? great reaction by the way as always, also thanks for the history part in the beginning
Sabaton does it again with this one. They just rock. Period.
@@JustJenReacts i own a "Digital Copy" of all of their music...... Everytime i take a long road trip, i have them playing....J/S.... so ya, we are good with this band and all of us in the "Sabaton Army" greatly appreciate everything they bring to the table for us to listen to
@@JustJenReacts this vid just came up in my feed again... had to watch it again....lol
On December 13th, 1916 at 5 AM, known as White Friday, a series of avalanches hit both Austro Hungarian and Italian barracks and basically buried them with everyone inside. People reported afterwards that both Austro Hungarian and Italian troops fired artillery at the loose snow on the mountains to cause avalanches on each other's side. The total death toll is unknown, but approximately 2000 soldiers died and a dozen civilians. Many of the bodies were never found. Some are being found nowadays with the ice on the mountains melting more and more due to climate change.
Dear Jen, My grand-grandfather fought there on the alpine front, as a hungarian soldier. It was an awful battlefield (by the way, the battleship which sank around 17.30, was the SMS Szent István, a hungarian battleship). I ask you, to do a reaction to ww1:seminal tragedy by extra history. It gives a tons of information, why the world war started.
Tommy Johansson just published a Disney version of Sabatons Swedish pagans, you gotta listen to it on his CZcams page.
be on our radio show sunday 3 til 5 uk time we rock fm
Sabaton puts alot of CZcams slates at the end of videos, but they always cover some Important stuff.
I saw them open for Amon Amarth years ago and they stole the show!
That’s very common with Sabaton! Same with Priest
war is not for human.music is love,
war is ugly n never needed goddess gave us love not distain n all hurt from it
agree with u christmas truce xxx
To your comment on the documentary that it looks real... It is. What you are seeing is digitally recovered and colored footage from that war. The very first recorded War. Not the first war obviously, but the first time that the people at home could see what was happening. The Geneva accords happened because of the camera... Because the people had to actually look at the destruction that they caused.
I suggest you to listen to Tommy's solo stuff, Majestica. Above the sky is amazingly good, those vocals is insane
Majestica I’ve heard! 🤯 power metal kings!!!
It needs to be made clear that the United States, at the start of the war and in the time before was not clearly on the side of England, France and Russia. Americans were generally still weary of the English, from our issues of the past century. We were on good terms but not quite so friendly.
as a great john lennon said in his song give peace a chance xxx
Sweden rock, europe rock.🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 Velcome to the metal country 🤘🤘🤘
Sabaton is a great band, can you pls react to a Japance rockband call One Ok Rock their music is so inspiring and the singer is so good. Hade a good day :)
oh wow your reaction even has german subtitles. Nice service 👍
😊 sehr gern geschehen my son told me to say that, as he took 4 years of German!
You should react to sabaton "lost battalion "
Hi Jen. Go see, 1917, great movie about that war.
YES that footage was very real the doc you watched used footage from Peter Jackson's movie/Doc "They Shall not Grow Old" which honestly is amazing and worth watching they use only real footage narrated by real WW1 soldiers who were recorded for interviews. if you want to see and learn about WW1 this is the 1 to watch.
I've always thought that it's important to show the carnage and brutality of war just to show that there is nothing to glorify and celebrate, but that's just me
I love your review of this song! You don't just analyze the music like so many do but you go to the heart of the message. Okay, I have a request, and this is probably the wrong way to do it but here goes. I'm a Lord of the Rings fan and Annie Lennox sings a song called "Into the West" during the credits of The Return of the King and nobody has ever reviewed it. No, it's not Metal or rock but if anyone can do it justice you could. The back story of the song is there was a young man who worked on the set of Lord of the Rings and he died of cancer. Annie wrote the song and dedicated it to him, it will break your heart but it is so beautiful. Please do this. Here is the link, czcams.com/video/vRSSGPyOlxM/video.html
I looks real because it is real WW1 footage.
The arch-duke of Austria-Hungary got shot that started the war
Isnt it Chris (not Tommy) playing the lead guitar in this one?
By the way, Italien girls are beautiful ♥️
Did you know the name “Cleveland” comes from indigenous Indian language that means “Land of Cleve.” Go Blue.
track is awesome but sabaton do history so history is with us all
Hello
Men's games with war are difficult to ban...
Игры мужчин с войной сложно запретить...
Like Megadeth said peace sells but who's buyin
Painful, gruelsome, maybe, but we need to see it, hopefully, to never do it again. And it's always the common people who pay the ultimate price.
На Радио Тапок сделай реакцию!
Politicians lie through their teeth
Italy was a part of the Central Powers initially. Also, the US was not a member of the Entente in 1914.
There are more issues with your "history lesson" that led into the video.
The history lesson video is actual footage colorized so the quality will skip....its not you.. 😘
Historically speaking, in the video, they show ME-109 fighters, which are WW2, other than that...the video and song are the best. I have the "Soldiers of Heaven" T-shirt, and wear it proudly. Great job Sabaton, and thank you for a great video!!
That scene shows the passage of time
You so beautiful, I can't handle
The Video footage you said looked real was real footage, it’s from the Film They shall not grow old by Peter Jackson.
Spending money on kids today?? No.
I and so many older of my generation will take nuclear apocalypse then to cater to the disaster that is our descendants.
