- After weeks of requests, I finally check out "No Bullets Fly" by Sabaton for the first time, and this one might be one of my favorite stories from their songs I've heard so far. Join me for another episode of Roadie Reactions where I check out the lyric video first, and then the animated story video from Yarn Hub that tells the unbelievable story of Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler.

Thank you for the kind remarks
The world needs more people like your father. He is a true hero. Please stay safe and healthy
This story about your father is one of the most heartwarming, heroic, and inspiring things I’ve heard in a long time. I’m sure your very proud of him. Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment!
Wow, awesome to read your name here!
Greetings from Regensburg!
Your father was an amazing man. May not have earned the Knight's Cross, but he gained a freind, which is better than gold.
Your father and his story is an absolute inspiration. Love from Greece.
Thanks for the great reaction!
Thank YOU for the wonderful videos!
Great work guys, as always! Greetings from Germany.

@@gurkenlord3341 Moin, moin. "Gurkenlord" is funny af, haha 😆
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl 😂
Whats even more unreal is that they had a reunion of all surviving airmen and their families. Over 100 people gathered there. 100 people who are alive because ONE man decided to not pull the trigger
It would be more accurate to say 100 people exist because one man didnt kill a bunch of enemies.
Even when animated:
- Joakim bangs his knee
- Par plays LTD ESP F-series
- Hannes is married to Floor
and I once again ask for To Hell and Back from Antwerp
I second To Hell and Back from Antwerp
This is the best comment i've read tonight. :D
@@MagiskaSamtal ayyye, ty buddy
Sabaton fans are a bit predictable, huh? Also Floor is like REALLY tall you guyz!
I third to Hell and Back in Antwerp!
They actually made Franz an honorary member of the 379th bomb ground at one of there reunions
Oh? I didn't know that. Do you have more material on that?
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 don't know if it will work but it's in there. It wasn't official. It was the surviving members that did it
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 if you look up the bomber group it will come up on their pages
It choked you up?
Meanwhile I'm sitting here ugly-crying, blowing my nose, and writing whilst glaring through the tears.
Yup, join the club.
I’m the same way every time I hear brothers, heroes, foes.
And also, gritting through your teeth.
*The job has to be done, but it's just that - a job.*
@@gabor9838 the words that always are killing me ..."flying home" ... that hits my walls, and make me cry every damn time
That moment when Franz is saluting Charlie and pulling away always tears me up. I was serving in my countrys SP forces in the late 80s, and one of our instructors told this story. He told us that during training, one of Franz´s instructors hat told him that "You follow the rules of war for you - not for your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity". You fight by rules to keep your humanity, that is a powerful statement. Saluting your enemy is probably something of the most honorable any soldier can do.
If I'm not mistaken, he also said if he even saw them shooting at a man in a parachute he would shoot them down himself.
That instructor was a good man.
As I am a former member of the todays Luftwaffe and my son being now himself in....this song is one of my favorite ones and the story alone is...outstanding.
All the health and good to you and your son. May the skies be safe under your watch.
Sometimes true war heroes don't become that way by killing their enemies, but by saving them.
"A soldiers doesn't fight because he hates what's infront of him but because he loves what's behind him"
@@imperialinquisitormordecai9688 WOW. Thank you for this. I Will remember that for a long time. Thank you for reminding us.
Oooo you gonna live The Ballad of the Bull by Sabaton! Same album with No Bullets Fly
Tank: So let's talk about some of the gear we're seeing here. That over there is a B-17, and...
...and the distorted sound it four rotary things make is pretty full and quite unique.
Specifically a B-17F and a Bf-109G6 to be exact
@@andrewludwig9251
But the german fighter is a Bf109E ... you can see the angular wing tips, the wing mounted MGs, the addidional struts below the horizontal stabilizer.
Not sure is this type was used in '43 anymore or they just animated it after some pictures
@@ghosten4656 If you read the book " A Higher Call" about this story-- Stigler received a brand new BF-109G6 when he was stationed in Wiesbaden. The animation isn't very accurate.
@@andrewludwig9251
Sorry for the late replay.
Yes, I was relating only to the video. Was wondering why the use a Bf109 E in the animation.
I always tear up when I watch the animated video, it's such a beautiful story
Seriously heartwarming.
back in the days of ww1 and ww2 pilots often had a code, like the knights of old, and were basically the knights of the sky, hence the line "fly, fighting fair, it's the code of the air." also, if i recall correctly, Stigler said he was reminded of his trainer saying "if i ever hear of you shooting at a man in a parachute i will shoot you myself." or something to that effect and how he felt like that was the same type of situation.
edit: adding more to my comment
This isn't the only time the subject's relatives have met Sabaton and thanked them for a song. Audie Murphy's son did as well.
To Hell and Back is one of their best songs, and the message unfortunately never gets old.
Another reactor was watching the animated story. He mentioned that his wife's grandfather was on a bomber crew. Part way through the story, he took a good look at the tail, and realized this was the same bomber group. His wife's grandfather was probably on one of those others planes when this happened.
Dang, that’s wild.
That’s Vlogging Through History . Best history reaction channel, I learn so much from him
Here in Germany Franz Stigler was virtually unknown before the Sabaton song got released. And many of the people who knew of him, and quite a lot of them weren't even nazis, considered him a traitor, my grandma included because her uncle got killed during that bombing attack. I never felt that way, I always thought the Stigler showed more bravery that day than I could ever muster.
Sad they felt that. Knowing that Rodel trained and commanded him in Afrika and was adamant that killing an enemy in a parachute would result in Rodel killing that pilot himself. Herr Stigler said that wrecked B17 was the parachute for those 9 surviving airmen. Safe journeys.
I mean, I can understand the feelings.
An interceptor's role is to defend the people on the ground. If you do not fulfill that role, the saved bomber crew will climb into a new bomber and kill more of the people you were supposed to protect.
Don't get me wrong, I do not consider Stigler a traitor. I think he made a human decision in an very inhuman time, but I can understand why people who were alive during the war felt that way.
It is really strange to listen to these stories. It seems like a different reality.
Some of my family never returned from Stalingrad and my mom told me about the birthday card her aunt send to her husband. It returned with a stamp on it "An Absender zurück, gefallen für Großdeutschand" - "Return to sender, died for Greater Germany".
Still gives me chills.
He had balls biger then the fat man each... He was never traitor, just real" air knight" as he did what was right, even if it seemed wrong from the outside perspective...
As one told me: True soldier is not afraid of saving the enemie, but killing him, becose one day, they might meet again, this time pn the same side.
Yet. One of his previous friend from his air squads actually said "Yeah. It's something that I would expect of Stigler"
I get why theyd feel that way, but its a shame
I’ve watched the animated story video countless times and it always has the same impact. Moving. Uplifting. Fun. What more can you want?
Unreal story. People were telling me to have tissues ready, but I wasn't expecting a story like this!
@@TankTheTech it gets me every time
It's not the story that gets me. It's the interview they had together that's the tear jerker.
@@NYMetsNo1 absolutely
Same here
Super reaction tank.
I was born in Germany in 1979 and grew up here. I learned a lot about the Second World War in school. But the real understanding of the atrocities and the effects on the generations that followed only came after school, when I got to know the subject a little better. The best stories are the ones about mercy. It doesn't matter if it's a song or a film. All the crap about war wouldn't be necessary if people would slowly start to understand that we are all ONE species. And would not chase after wealth and power, but would care about the well-being of ALL people. So....I wipe away the rest of my tears and listen to Meadows of Heaven by Nightwish. Because I'm in a melancholic mood right now.
A reply to the post by Franz Stigler's daughter, since I can't seem to reply under the original post:
A true hero is one who shows mercy to an enemy. Your father is a true hero. Greetings from Hessen, Germany.
No species really care about it. Besides, pretty good stuff come out of war. It sucks when war happens tho.
This is without a doubt my favorite Sabaton song, & I get choked up every time I listen to it. It is definitely an ultimate display of respect, honor, & humanity on the field of battle, & Franz Stigler is absolutely a hero who deserve this recognition. It is much harder to show humanity & compassion in war than it is to follow orders & take out your target. Of course, that choice is not so easy nowadays because not every enemy has a code of honor that they abide by.
My father fought in WWII flying C-47s dropping paratroopers into European combat zones. He met Charlie Brown some time around when this incident occurred. The crew of Ye Olde Pub might have been ordered not to speak of this incident, but others were there when the B-17 landed and knew what had happened. The story quietly spread among pilots. He rarely spoke about the war, but he did tell me this story. Several times. It was a merciful, chivalrous act in an unmerciful war and made a huge impact on him. “No Bullets Fly” is one of my favorite Sabaton songs and I love cherry-picking reactions to it. I appreciated how you read up on it and so knew a few basic facts, also that you added some facts on screen. Thank you.
The book that the band found the story about is amazing!! Go read it!! "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos. It's available on all e-platforms.
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, Brad!
Second this. Just finished it. Great book
@@edwardnelson9807 Its an amazing book, one of my favorites of all time. I also HIGHLY recommend Adam Makos' other books as well.
@@TankTheTech I've read it too. Recommend it.
After the Sabaton history video, I can’t listen to this song without choking up. Not only did he save those men twice, but did it for no recognition, then got crapped on by neighbors and old comrades when they learned. Stigler was an incredible man, and so was Brown.
Many might be confused. We others understand completely. This is another perfect example of what it is to be a true warrior. The descendents of such Warriors, their countrymen, and fellow warriors past present and future rightfully share the pride of the their honor, and their dedication to remain human... even in battle. Cheers to them, their legacy, and to absent comrades!
Animated night witches is a must now saving your Sabaton flag for you when you’re ready
1st: Even after watching the animated story a gazillion times, I still get gooosebumbs / chills when Franz salutes and fades away home.
2nd: YarnHub also made an animated video just about the story. With a little more background; e.g. the 40+ years between the incident and the reunion.
3rd: wonderfull reaction!
as a private pilot and a Sabaton fan, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I can´t even imagine being shot at while flying. Let alone limping a damaged aircraft home in atleast -10c. Huge respect for the courage that those brave men had all those years ago.
This one is really hitting home today... I learned we lost a great man over the weekend who was a fan of one of my bands. He was a 95 year old WWII Vet. RIP John Kirkland. He flew in B-26 Bombers in the 441st Bomber Squadron, 320th Bomb Group in Italy, and France. 2 of his missions were on D-Day (also his 24th Birthday). He flew 61 missions... I salute you Sir...
Hey Tank. If you enjoyed this one. I know you've already reacted to Night Witches. But Yarn Hub did an animated story about Night Witches which is also worth a watch as it fills in a few blanks about their back story. Great vid as always. See you next week.
Day 8 of asking for Cliffs of Gallipoli. It's really good imo, especially once you watch the Sabaton history video. I think the history video of that song is the best they've ever done. You won't regret it!
When you finally do Smoking Snakes, here's some cool trivia: Sabaton was featured in TV shows here in Brazil and awarded official honours by the Brazilian Army when they came to play their 2016 tour. They were joined by local WW2 veterans when playing this song in various cities here, there's some amateur footage of those concerts that you could also check out. Very very cool.
Tank: Is that them?!
Tank Fact: Yes.
Me: Died laughing.
Also, Heroes is my favourite album with Sabaton, just based on all the stories, Inmate 4859 is my go to song no matter if I'm happy or feeling down it just makes my day.
**clears lump from throat** Damn... Just damn... What an amazing story, also with the grandson hearing his favorite band, I assume, sing about his grandfather. And I love the animated video! Kudos all around. You too Tank, great reaction. Not too many pauses 😋
Thanks man! 😎
For me a massively underrated Sabaton song. The story is amazing and so glad they got to meet each other in person after the war.
My family comes from a huge Military/army background from WW1 and WW2. All artillery. But this tears me up. My grandfather would tell us stories like so, from the frontlines with the germans. It's tough.
It only comes up in the Sabaton History video, but something similar happened with their song To Hell and Back. They met the son of the guy that song is about, and he seemed to appreciate that the song more celebrated his father rather than lamenting his death.
Afak the song Ballad of the Bull was made by Sabaton after being contacted by the family of Lesley 'Bull' Allen ( i hope i wrote the name correct)
When Franz did the salute, gives me goosebumps every time
No Bullets Fly and Night Witches are two of my favorite Sabaton songs and my gateway into Sabaton.
You need to check out the animated version of Night Witches. It'll make your eyes leak as well.
This is a legendary story that nobody believed for years. Turns out its true. Sabaton did this justice. Fantastic
Given my bio grandfather flew Lancaster bombers in ww2 & sadly didn't make it home I have interest in stuff like this. His crew actually flew some record amount of missions & I've found some websites etc about it all. I lived kinda near a museum which had a full Lancaster in there. I pointed out my grandfather's name & the old fellows there wanted to tell me all the things, bless em. They let me in it. I was like 5 years older than my grandfather was sitting in that seat. I can't even imagine.
Good reaction, thanks. Must go and check out the Sabaton History video now, haven't seen it yet.
As far as I can understand it, it's not at all unusual that Sabaton endorse fan made videos of their songs, and even put them up on their own channel sometimes. None of that "No you are intruding on our copyrighted material"-kind of shite you sometimes get from other publishers. So nice to see that attitude from the band and their publishers.
Hats off for you lads for taking this stance (and ladies, have seen a few in some concert videos).
Cheers / B.
(And Tank - You don't need to apologise for keeping a watchful eye on Ingrid.)
they even occasionally comment on fan made content, like i recently saw a meme video about why sabaton wasnt played much if at all on radio which sabaton had commented on
My Grandpa was a waist gunner in a B-17, so this one really hits home.
My grandfather (RIP) was a WW2 vet, reargunner in a Lancaster Bomber and survived many sorties. His plane was finally shot down during the Channel Dash engagement. He survived but lost 2 fingers in his right hand and lost use of his left lung. Stubborn bugger refused to call it there and went back into active service in peacekeeping Post war.
This song has a special place in my family.
Damn! Cheers to your grandfather! Thank you for sharing!
Love your reactions. I still tear up nearly a dozen or more times after originally seeing this video
This is one of my all time favorite songs, man and the animated video is just too good, i'm glad you got to hear this awesome song man
I waited for this video for a long long time :D And i am so happy to see you finally witnessing this Awesome Song and Story!
Awesome episode Tank!
I love that you talked about easter eggs from other songs. Sabaton also uses similar wording in some songs that feels like easter eggs referring to those songs. I felt like I was the only one who noticed, and thus crazy. Love your reactions, keep up the good work!
🤘❤ You are truly one of the most down to earth and honest youtube people I have come across
OK that one got me, a single tear down my cheek right at the end of the story. Great video as always Tank!
Oh yes! This music video always hits me in the feels I love it! Looking forward to your reaction!
Excellent reaction
Made me happy seeing your reaction to this 1
I somehow always manage to miss your videos until months after they come out - thanks youtube. Still, great reaction as always, and for one of my favourite songs of theirs, made better by Yarnhubs video. Keep on keeping on, and I'm looking forward to more!
Love to watch your Sabaton reactions. Indeed you're the right man in the right spot for doing this, beleive me, not everyone is capable of doing rections like you are. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, honestly! I descraibed a few months ago, thanks to Sabaton. Take care of yourself and your beautiful girls!
Chokes me up every time. Favorite Sabaton song for me as well!!! Nice job
So glad that you got to this one! This is one of those songs that people recommend not only for the music, but also for the history and people associated with it and its great to see that you enjoyed both aspects of it so much! And also hope that all is going well for you and your family!
Tank one of Stieglers commanding officers told him early in the war that "we don't get kills we get victories".
It's always such a treat to see a new video on Sabaton Saturday! I love following along on your journey discovering this amazing band. This reaction was just so heartfelt, I don't think anyone can watch this for the first time without some waterworks. Or the second... or third.. :P And I think you're the only reactor so far that I've seen that figured out that the people shown in the last bit are relatives so good catch there! :)
Thanks for the all lessons delivered by Sabaton.. Thanks bri🙏🤘✌️ big respect for them and your reaction ❤️
Your Sabaton reaction-series is an awesome project. I hope that the band spots your efforts to analyze thheir songs, show your genuine feelings about them and promoting theiir history channel and give you some sort of sign of recognition. Your videos are that good. no doubt about it. Keep the spirits up, enjoy all the time you can get with your precious Ingrid. I know I'm sucking up to you, but it's heartfelt and tou are probably humble enough not to deride me for reacting to the reactor. Thamks for making my life and music experience a bit better than I can manage by myself.
Got the shout out on Sabaton's Facebook for this one! Awesome you are getting recognized by the band for your awesome videos!
Great reaction mate! It was the Sabaton History episode that made me buy the book on my kindle. Absolutely amazing story of heroism. Truly heroic by Stigler.
Sabaton linked to this video on their facebook page two hours ago! 😍
And, as always, a very good reaction
Epic as always. I got tearyeyed too.
Loved this story/video reaction. What an amazing story. Sabaton is my history teacher.
Love that you got to this song! One of my personal favorites simply because of the story but it certainly helps that the music is killer as well
This story, this song, and even moreso, this video always bring me to tears. There are hundreds of inspiring stories in the Sabaton catalog (many of which also bring out tears), I think the fact that Oberleutnant Stigler wound up living not far from me, and his daughter is in the FB group just makes it so much more real.
I only watch two "reaction channels"; yours and The Charismatic Voice. SO much more than just watching someone watch a video, and not contribute any substance.
Love the use of Diggy hole as the outro. This one brought me to tears as well, Tank.
Who else noticed the main line of the song repeated in the animated vid?
I wasn't expecting to cry today, man, but it's worth it. It is just a marvelous story.
You got a Van Halen vibe at the beginning, I felt a huge Judas Priest influence in the whole song. And I love it!
I KNEW this one was going to be appreciated by you Tank.
The compassion you have in you, that has been coming through the screen, had to be touched. And it was.
Great reaction!
Much love!
Thanks a ton!
Sabaton just shared this video on Facebook 😍😍 Great and honest reaction as usual! Keep up the good work!
Edit: Also, they said you're epic 🙈😇
A long time Sabaton fan here. I've seen many reactions on their videos and I gotta say that I can appreciate the effort that you've looked into the subject deeper. Many reactors just seem to assume things about the substance behind the songs without knowing the whole context. Anyways, great video! Liked.
This story give me goosebumps and the song is fantastic 😍 I really enjoy the whole Heroesalbum with the new lineup, it sounds great 🔥👌
I've seen it more than 10 times, and it stills choke's me up, every time ! Greetings from Sweden.
I just found your channel a few hours ago because of your reactions to my favorite band Sabaton. I'm glad I hit subscribe so I didn't miss this
Thanks a ton!
Tank mate, your reactions are always great, but without a lie dude this is one of your finest, if not your best yet.
Even without live show and hard core gear you nailed it perfectly - with the timing of pauses for comments, tank facts. Epic
Fully appreciate you restarting Sabaton Saturday so soon after BabyTank arrived.
Hoping for another reaction from Heroes album next.
A short man from Texas might be able to recommend one.
Man, thanks a ton! Much appreciated! 🙌
What an amazing story. I love all these storys by Sabaton. Thank you for this reaction? 🥰 Hope you didn't wake Ingrid 😀
I've seen this video a hundred times. Still get the chills every single time.
This is absolutely amazing from start to finish.
A few days ago I stumbled over the animated story video by coincidence in another reaction video. The song I knew before already, but, damn it, I never realized the touching story behind the lyrics. Then I saw the video and I was completely blown away - I still am after watching for several times. This is such a wonderful story. It definitely landed on rank #1 of my personal Sabaton top ten's list.
I did not expect the end at all. I was already stoked by the first meeting of Charlie and Franz after 40 years, but that Franz's grandson listened to the song - without knowing that Sabaton did THIS story, and never ever met the band before turning the story into music - and shew his mom, who is Franz's daughter, that got me.
Thanks for doing this one.
Greetings from Germany to the USA.
Great reaction! I smiled when you showed the baby monitor. Just got one for my daughter👍🏻
You aren`t the only one that gets misty eyed at this video and song, I still do and have seen/heard it dozens of times. Fantastic story.
Yea! Love this song and animation, so happy to see this pop up ^^
Damnit dude, I have seen this so many times and you still got me teary eyed over it XD
Beautiful, amazing, breathtaking story! I love Sabaton!
There is alot of emotion in videos like this, a story well told... legendary men, the band and the warriors.
This amazing story shows two things: We are all connected in a way and we never know how our actions will affect others or how far the ripples will go. That's why we should always keep kindness in our hearts and treat people from a place of love and respect.
Thank you for a great video, as always.
Wow! I never heard about this 😮 Truly a hartwarming story ❤❤❤
Hi, Tank. Allow me a few lines of thanks. Through your channel and your reactions, I am discovering great songs. It is always nice to discover, even by chance, competent people, who know how to express sincere emotions, and learn new things. People like you are the beauty of CZcams. Even tough being on opposite sides of the world, itnis like finding friends. Greetings from Italy, and sorry for my bad english.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and your English is great!
Stories like these where during some of the worst years the earth have ever seen people made some of the most humane decisions ever always cheer me up. The story video and everything that the song set off afterwards always make me teary eyed.
Hey, Tank, Sabaton just posted and linked this reaction on their Facebook page!
Tank thanks for the intro into this band, Sabaton, really bad ass…
man that ending always makes me tear up, it's so amazing
You're not alone in that.
Wow I had no idea there was a Sabaton history channel. I am going there right after this. Thank You.
that is absolutely awesome
You got a big as hell shoutout on Sabatons' FB page :)
Great reaction to those two gorgeous videos!! 🙌 also an awesome song live for sure!! 🤘🔥
Please do "Great War" next week, that would be great haha!!
im getting goosebumps everytime i listen to this song.
I've seen this before and loved it. Thought you probably would also. Ironically today on the way home from giving my daughter a ride home from work the host on the radio station playing in the car was talking about his 14 year old son. And his son's love for this Swedish band called Sabaton. I walked in the house and Bam. There is this video.
this song and story has me in tears
Great vid, just proves there's still room for humanity in war.
Also fun fact: you said the intro reminds you of 'ain't talking about love'. Well the current sabaton lineup (as far as I'm aware) all have the van halen 'vh' symbol tattooed on them cause they're big fans
The best Sabaton's Music Video so far, the music made you learn, the video made you feel.
You having OC in the intro in the background has me eagerly waiting for your next reaction to them! 🤘🏽😂
