  • After the Great War, many different movements and parties tried to replace the by many despised Weimar Republic. One of them was the NSDAP, the National Socialist German Workers Party. Headed by Adolf Hitler, the NSDAP transformed Germany into a country that would once again bring war and destruction to Europe. The Sabaton Song ‘Rise of Evil’ is about Hitlers rise to power, and in this video we dive into the historical context behind the song.

    In hindsight, we can clearly see the path to power and war that Germany and many of its people chose to walk in the 1930s. In practice, history is never as deterministic as it later seems. Nothing what happened was ‘meant’ to happen. With that in mind, let us walk you through the process of the Nazi rise to power. From a revolutionary movement in the ’20s to a political party in a democratic system.
    We encourage debate and discussion about this in the comment section. However, we don’t allow for any extreme, racist, anti-semitic, revisionist or apologist theories down here. These comments will be moderated by historians and, while keeping your freedom of speech in mind, we will enforce our rules with a ban if necessary. Please keep it civil.
    Thats it for today!
    Cheers!

      Very well said. I really hope that the comment section will remain as handsome as those under your other videos, controversial topics are strong magnets for people with a very shifted point of view and an even more shifted point of language. Human dignity comes above freedom of speech, after all.
      This song is one link in the chain of events that drew me deep into the subject of Sabaton, history and the nature of humans interacting with each other in the worst possible ways. While easily misunderstood, you literally only have to listen to the song's lyrics to get the meaning and the motivation behind it.
      "Burning books to spread Anti-Semite propaganda
      Who will stop the madman's reign?
      Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death camp
      On a path to certain death"
      or
      "Who will stop all this madness that has consequences no man understands?"
      A very dark, very true and in many ways very underrated song.

    As someone whose family lived through the Rise of the Nazi’s I can say it is a perfect example of the extreme concessions frightened people will make to someone promising them safety and prosperity. My Great-Grandfather served in the Imperial German Army in WW1 and after the war he for years would help defend his Jewish neighbors (One of whom was a WW1 veteran he had served with) and on Kristalnacht, when that Jewish veteran was dragged from his home my Great Grandfather went out into the street to help him. I never got to meet my Great Grandfather because they dragged him away that night too.
    Never forget that no matter how dark the times may seem you must never forfeit your freedom to thugs and murderers.

    I appreciate how much Joakim strives to show that they're doing their best to stand on neutral ground with every bit of music they create. E.g. Panzerkampf shows a pride in the Soviet war machine because it's designed to be from the perspective of the Soviets, Ghost Division is meant to demonstrate the wild and unpredictable nature of the 7th Panzer Division because it WAS wild and unpredictable. There's no message besides the overall idea that war is destructive though some light and heroism will always shine through.

      @Duck Go Quacks It didn't seem so at first. The Soviets were in relative disarray after Stalin's purging of the military leadership, and their struggle to defeat the much weaker Finnish implied they were incompetent. Also, the Germans did actually make a whole lot of progress while the Soviets were unprepared for the strike. Poor decision making mixed with poor timing and poor preparedness meant they floundered before they could secure a better hold on their territory.

    The song is horrifying and it is somewhat controversial. But like all the time, you guys are storytellers and history geeks. That's a big reason why I'm such a fan of you guys. Your songs might get my blood flowing but you're not making me spill it. The songs are great to listen to and they're just stories in an extremely good fashion.
    Your neutrality and refusal to become political advocates of anything make you guys really my big idols. And the fact you guys can play those songs without making agendas.
    Sabaton can be used for educational purposes in school cause history is all there is to the songs. From a point of view, sure. But that's it. There's nothing more to it.
    As for the video, they are something and the things here we hear from them and the Rise of Evil is a fitting song. Thanks for the video guys. I'll see you at Graspop. And I haven't forgotten the thing I asked you guys from in October when you announced you were coming. Either on Sunday or on Wacken. Please get the White Death in your setlist. The fourth time I see you guys live and I'm dying to hear the song.
    See you on Sunday.

    To be honest, the first time I heard this song the chorus with "The Reich will rise!" did throw me off a bit. Especially when you are not an english native speaker most of the lyrics can be hard to understand if "the Reich will rise" is the only part you understand, that sounds a bit scary. It's definitively a song you should listen to a few times and/or read the lyrics to understand.

    I am surprised to hear you of all people repeating the Autobahn myth. The Autobahn was a concept of pre-Nazi Weimar governments, and before taking power the Nazis opposed the programs. Once in power they co-opted the Autobahn program and took credit for each stretch that was opened. The myth of nationalist “infrastructure building” is alive in authoritarians today in the Philippines and elsewhere, so I would hope you busted this myth as well like you have others in your main WW2 series.

    • @SabatonHistory
      @SabatonHistory  Před 5 lety +87

      I looked into it, and you're totally right. While under Hitler, roughly 3,800 km of Autobahn was constructed, it wasn't nearly as much as he promised and as you say, he opposed the idea for a long time, and construction actually already started in 1913. I'm sure our researcher, who is very professional and a true historian, didn't mean to spread this myth consciously.

      Sabaton History A lot of our conceptions of the Nazis come from the Nazis, so that remnants of their propaganda image of themself survived. I was ignorant of this until fairly recently myself, so I merely hope that this topic is approached at some point in your main WW2 series. There are other myths, such as the idea that Triumph of the Will was a great film rather than simply the highest budget propaganda film ever created to that point. We must be careful in retelling history that we do not allow dangerous ideologies to tell their own stories unchallenged.

      @@MattieK09 Most people do just condemn them, which is correct, but not all. I have encountered a lot of people who like to be "centrist" and come up with something good to say about everyone as well. Sometimes you get clueless centrists repeating things phrased by the far right though. My experience has been also that people who have an agenda in making the Nazis seem less bad often say something like "The Nazis were awful *but*" and then say something like: "they gave jobs back to the people." This is another example of a statement that is only true if you accept the Nazi perspective on the matter. Unemployment went down because they forced women and non-Germans out of the workplace and only counted German men. One of the most common I've encountered of this sort of defense has been the "at least they built good infrastructure" argument, which is one that is commonly repeated about various strongmen governments. It's a very common talking point by Duterte supporters.

What these songs all have in common, is that they're not the heaviest songs made by the bands, but they're still the darkest ones by each band.

    Well, technically there was exatly one person that could have (theoretically) opposed Hitler and the Nazis: Hindenburg. If Hindenburg would have been maybe 15 years younger there is a decent chance the military, after getting certain promises, would have supported him instead. After Hitler he was until his death propably the most respected and popular person in Germany. And most of all he hated Hitler. regretablly it didnt go that way.
    So ecentially the weimar republic and the last remnant of democracy only fully died with Hindenburgs death in 1934. Only after his death Hitler became Führer "by law".

I admire them so much and respect these men so much because they also sing about history of many countries besides their own to honor the many who lost their lives fighting for their home lands. and i apologise for not typing in the band members names and just stating "band members" or "these men" because I would butcher trying to type their names. but again much respect and thank you for what you do.

    I appreciate the fact that Sabaton will stand up for history (good and bad parts of history) and not let others rewrite it for political advantages
