What happened you posted this Tuesday?
You guys rock, I have a Sabaton Music CZcams playlist.
@Alexis Hazel DeSilva but I'm not a patron supporter and they posted it here.
This is the first Sabaton song I've ever heard. It got me instantly hooked.
@@jimmyostler8946 My first was Purple Heart, ages and ages ago. I didn't know it at the time, because it was in the background of a video that didn't credit the song. But two years ago, I heard the song again and got sudden flashbacks.
Since then they have become the only band I've ever been dedicated enough to buy merchandise from.

Holy shit I burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Well said mate, cheers
All the medals and all the recognition given to this man, yet he couldn't be saved from the hell that comes after the war is over.
You can get a Soldier out of a War, but you can't get a war out of a Soldier
As sad as it is, PTSD could only be learned about the same way war is, through painful trial and error.
I am happy for the understanding we have of it now, but we must never lose it. For doing so would mean we relearn a lesson learned in blood.
It haunts me an active sitting US president was noted as saying those who suffer from PTSD are the "weak" ones. Fucking Audie Murphy, a Tiny texan, served his country, did a heroes job, and suffered from the horrors that followed. God bless him.
@@kurtberliner7049 I can imagine that haunting you, as it's not a sickness born from weakness, but by needing to be strong for too long,

Love this song and how you guys managed to squeeze in Audie's poem.
Oh, gather 'round me, comrades; and
listen while I speak
Of a war, a war, a war where hell is
six feet deep.
Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh
how can a soldier sleep?
The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is
six feet deep.
“Praise be to god for this captured sod that rich with blood does seep.
With yours, and mine, like butchered swine’s; and hell is six feet deep. That death awaits there’s no debate; no triumph will we reap.
Crosses grow on Anzio, where hell is six feet deep.”
- Audie Murphy, 1948
Wow that’s really badass I didn’t know that was his poem❤
Audie Murphy was basically a real life Captain America but without the super soldier serum. The man was a true hero.
and a Real life Rambo.
@@usamazahid3882 You ever heard the word Roy Benevidez?
@@AnIndianPatriot Yeah, but he was more of a Forest Gump. Audie's Rambo personality fits well.
@@usamazahid3882 Forest Gump? He beared 22 bullets and several stabs but continued fighting. Rambo personality is perfect for Benevidez.
@@AnIndianPatriot one day Sabaton has to have a song on Roy Benavidez. He is the Vietnam War equivalent of Sgt York and Audie Murphy.
Long live the Real Captain America from my homeland Texas
Also he is more relatable.
@@m0rtez713 yup
Dude it seemed to me like the creators of Captain America took some inspiration from Audie. They both were short and thin and wanted to prove themselves to the army etc.
@@braindeadstonehead9500 Until that "I got pumped up on steroids and now everyone likes me" moment.
@@braindeadstonehead9500 probably
"I was scared before every battle. That old instinct of self-
preservation is a pretty basic thing, but while the action was going on some
part of my mind shut off and my training and discipline took over. I did what
I had to do."

What a great man!
Full poem:

Made me cry so much
I thought I remembered more....thank you
This gave me chill may time
Im fairly sure the was kerrigans poem
WW2 version of In Flanders Fields. Great poem and song
He is actually THE most decorated soldier in US Military history with LtGen. Chesty Puller coming in at a close second. The U.S. Army has a "Board" called the Audie Murphy Board and is one of the most sought after boards to win.
Me: "I wonder if Sabaton would do an episode on my favorite so-"
Sabaton History: *Does Episode*
Me: *Excited Screaming*
same XD
Didn't know that Sabaton incorporated some of Murphy's poetry into the song. That's an awesome fact!
:)
I can't wait until they get to "The Last Stand, The Lost Battalion, The Last Battle, Winged Hussars, and Carolus Rex."
I know the history behind the battles but I can't wait to see them bring it to life with the maps while the song plays in the background. I swear US history teachers should just play this channel for the kids...they'll learn so much more than by using just the cruddy textbooks!
Agreed. I only have Hill 3234 to that list.
Ballad of the bull
I want them to do wolfpack
Night Witches.
I love how Audie Murphy basically wrote the chorus for sabaton in that poem
I guess Audie could quote Yoda: "Judge me by my size, do you?"
i audibly laughed at this
That quote applies to my daily life.
@@edorasmarauder5761oh
Tldw: the song "too hell and back" is so badass Audie Murphy's son loves it.
Audie Murphy is so badass Marvel based a superhero off of him.
Christ, he looked so young in that picture with his medals. Such notion is almost unthinkable today.
That's because he was young. I don't think he was 19 yet.
Younger people served in that war. We should be happy that we live in a time which does not call for such desperation.
@@panachevitz He lied about his age - if I'm correct he was max 16 years old.
@@wojo44frompl Sorry, I meant when he was shown with his medals, not when he enlisted.
I had the same exact thought when watching some Vietnam news reels a few weeks ago. The people fighting and dying couldnt have been more than a year or 2 older than me (19).
Even with a song, a movie, and idol level fame for the military and civilians alike...
And yet so few people know about him, this is the kind of things that should be taught at school, not just remembering dates like a bloody calendar; the thing I love about history is that we can know how people felt in situations we could only imagine.
Let's make Audie Murphy popular again (more than what he already is).
I love this song and the whole Heroes album. Most only knew of his heroism and not too many knew of his struggles with PTSD (including locking himself in a hotel room for a week just to get off some of the drugs he was taking to cope). This song helps add another dimension to his story and as with most Sabaton songs, encourages one to look deeper into events or in this case, a man's biography.
🙄🙄 He feel on hard times after THE WAR in THE 60's...his struggles had nothing to do with being Haunted from the war. LMAO PTSD.... He stared recrereatioly Gambling & Drink it increasing was the cause of Audie's Issues! Not F'N PTSD PEOPLE LUV TO pull out their ASS... so A-holes Gambling you're money away with a family to support, Drinking like he was,Cut from a different Cloth from TEXAS which would of caused a deep Shame and self loathing....at his lowest he was offered multiple commercials one of which should of solved his problems and he refused for the message sent to kids. PTSD was DIAGNOSED OR CLOSE TO BEING RECONIZED then thoes Pills were prescribed to him while in Hollywood which was insanely common there. soon as he realized soomhelp sleep soon as he realized he was becoming dependent on them for sleep he looked him self in a hotel emerged when he was clean.

The Audie Murphy Monument is on the Crest of Brush Mountain, on the Appalachian Trail, near Catawba, VA. Many people have climbed to see the monument and leave mementos. His bravery is still remembered today. Listening to this brings me back to the day, I climbed the mountain and had a chance to remember. Thank you. BCM
Audie was my 2nd cousin.
He did join the Army before his 18th birthday. His father had abandoned the family, his mother had died. His older sister (his legal guardian) signed a waiver so that he could join while still 17 yrs old. He sent money back to his family from his military salary to help his sister to try to keep the family together.
We are very proud of our relationship to Audie & his many accomplishments. When Veterans Day comes around every year, he is the eptimom of the word "veteran".
I think that Joakim's statement about how the song is more so about celebrating Murphy's achievements than feeling sorrowful for his passing is why I really like the song.
Also the (seemingly heavy) incorporation of lines from Murphy's poetry into the song is quite cool.
I fully agree! Thanks!
And it’s not hard to see why it’s so popular, it’s got a powerful, full, sound, it’s sincere and respectful to its subject, and it’s subject is very gripping
I can't stop the tears from flowing when I hear this song. it hits me so hard as a veteran. I didn't experience a fraction of what Murphy went through and for that I give thanks to God.
17 years of age for those who didn't do the math.
My dad was on a destroyer offshore at Anzio. How that generation came home and did so much for America in the "peace" that followed, despite the ghosts the brought back with them is amazing. They didn't have the support (even if its still not exactly right) our troops have today, nor even the acceptance of PTSD as a real issue.
they were cheered as heroes and PTSD" was called battle fatigue. What we call "ptsd" was documented in Greek literature and plays and were used to instruct civilians about the sufferings of war veterans, they were much more advanced than we are today.
Who dares disrespect this man by disliking the video!?
They missed the button.
Possibly relatives of the men he killed.
They couldn't see through their tears.
Idiots that think the story is fake and have an IQ of -0
real life steve rogers , only he had huge balls and no muscles
To Hell and Back isn't just one of Sabaton's best songs (and has one of the most interesting stories behind it), but I think it's also their best music video. Seeing that video made think of the song in a whole new light. It's not just a song about some awesome guy doing awesome things, it's a tragedy of a hero suffering from all the death that he experienced (much of which was by his own hand).
For everyone interested: the link is in the vide description! Thanks!
Indeed it is one of the most interesting stories behind a Sabaton song, but I think that the story behind No Bullets Fly is more interesting. It's very close mind you, but the fact that Lt. Col. Brown and his would be killer/escort met 45 years after the war and then became close friends makes it one of those stories that is truly stanger than fiction.
@@joshuaswanson1977 No bullet's fly has one of the best topics, yes. The book about it - A higher Call is fucking amazing. Another cool story is from 4859, and also Night Witches - heroes was a good album.
“Oh, gather 'round me, comrades; and
listen while I speak
Of a war, a war, a war where hell is
six feet deep.
Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh
how can a soldier sleep?
The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is
six feet deep.”
Wouldn't it be awesome if at some point they released one of these about a song we didn't know, and we were just like "what the hell, this song doesn't even exist" and the next day they released an album with that as the title track?
This needs to happen
Fields of Verdun
@@mitchnewara3229 We already knew sadly.
Just visited Arlington and saw Audie's grave. Its right behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers if you're ever there.
I am simple man
I see Audie Murphy and Sabaton
I hit like
9:40 hell, that was deep, and I too was close to cover my face in tears.
A schoolkid that tried to do what he could, time after a time, and got enlisted at last, then did what he could. And after all that, He playd himself in a movie, just trying to silence voices that hounted him almost every night, reliving everything He did and saw that made him a Hero. Never He, and many young mens of the WW2, had imagined, what it would cost them, to just survive the war.
My absolute favorite song off of Heroes, I have to thank you guys for introducing me to this incredible hero in the first place!
you're welcome ;)
I totally agree!!
Mixing Morricone with metal, ilove it. I mean how could it in any way NOT be hit ? ^^
We need a movie about Audie Murphy, with a soundtrack by Sabaton.
I mean, we do kind of already have a movie about Audie Murphy, with Audie Murphy playing himself.
Yes, but I wouldn't mind to see a modern remake
@@SabatonHistory True. It would be nice to see Audie Murphy's famous stand atop the tank portrayed in the actual weather he experienced, which was a blizzard at night.
The same goes for a lot of other Sabaton songs as well...
@@SabatonHistory As long as they didn't try to politicize it or cut out important parts.
the Japanese in me wants to see shiroyama history next, but the man in love with a swede girl says Gustavus Adolphus
The fall of the samurai,...what a loss!, how sad.
This man's story is amazing. He was given ALL of the medals the army could have possibly given him. He was truly an American hero and I can't believe I hadn't heard of him before hearing this song a few months ago. He's the type of person that people should look up to.
Being a huge Western fan, I first came across Audie Murphy the actor & only knew about his exploits during WW11 after seeing his film autobiography 'To Hell And Back'. I remember hearing about his untimely death in 1971 (yes, I am that old!) Was really pleased that Sabaton created this song about him; I love it!
I love Sabaton not just for the historical value they bring in their songs but they immortalize heroes such as Audie Murphy. Even though he will never leave the history books music can speak volumes to people who may not get the same feelings through reading about it in a book. Keep up the great work Indy and Sabaton keep up the fantastic work y’all do. I hope at some point I can see y’all live.
Honestly, for all his gallantry, the part about Audie Murphy that sticks out most to me is just how much of a good dude he was. It would've been easy, hell it'd be completely understandable, if he'd have gotten the big head after everything he'd accomplished. By all accounts, though, that didn't happen. He remained a humble, kind person well after the war; the kind of guy that, when invited to an expensive Hollywood shindig, spent more time with in the kitchen with wait staff (most of whom were black), hanging out with them and complimenting them on their cooking. Despite his financial troubles in the 60s, he outright refused to appear in liquor or cigarette commercials because he was aware of how much influence he'd have over any young people watching.
Audie Murphy wasn't just a badass war hero, he was the kind of guy you *want* to be like.
For anyone who doesn't know, Audie stars in a movie on his life called "To Hell and Back"
@gillecroisd 92 Hah what a legend
well, it is mentioned several times during the video, so everybody knows that by now
This song helped me survive hardest moment in my live. Love from Poland! ❤️🤘🇵🇱
Love back! 🤘🤘
We love you, person! Love from Texas!
@Fucking kill me Fortunatly no :D
That makes two of us.
What they didn't even mention is that they uploaded this video exactly 70 years after Audie's book was published, fantastic guys!
He protect
He attack
But most importantly
he go to hell and back

К сожалению...
I'm surprised that they didn't bring up or mention the time Audie gunned down a German squadron with a tank mounted M2, while tanked being fully loaded with gas and ammo at the time was in flames and could blow at any moment. Never giving up and never surrendering, he called in the enemy positions fur artillery bombardment and then advanced forward, climbing up onto a compromised tank, proceeding to use it's mounted M2, gunning down the advancing German soldiers while under heavy fire and great risk. That day Audie looked death square in the face and said "Not today Reaper, Take these Krauts instead" saving many lives while putting his own at risk. Audie Murphy was, is and always will be an American Hero.
Does anyone else absolutely love Joakim's accent?
This song introduced me to his "Crosses Grow On Anzio" poem, and that poem inspired me to do one of my first digital drawings ever, and it's by far my favorite drawing ever (that I have done at least.) And the entire time I drew it I was listening to this song on repeat. I wish I could share it with Joakim and the rest of the band, unfortunately I don't know how I could.
Probably just link it here. It looks like they go through the comments here regularly, so the people who do that might forward the picture.
Bobbyit1 Gaming they read comments so you could link it in the comments
Epic. Thats all there is to say!!!
I feel sad for Murphy and people similar to him suffering PTSD and similar things.
The reading of the poem was a nice touch.
Damn Indy, I could hear the emotion in your voice when you read The Crosses Grow on Anzio. Brought tears to my eyes, no mistake. Murphy was such an amazing man. Can't even begin to imagine what he experienced and struggled with. o7
My wife's grandfather actually was good friends with him in 1950s
I brought him up to him once and he talked about how he knew him and he had a smile on his face. For all I know Audie murphy was and still a hero among heroes
The highest honor a solider can achieve, is having Sabaton write a song about them.
This will always be my favorite Sabaton song.
This is the song that introduced me to Sabaton I was watching a tribute video on CZcams To Ragnar Lothbrok and This song was used in the video. The Lyrics of the Song started jumping out at me and I begin to think the Song Was about Audie Murphy. So I looked in the description of the video and saw the name of the band and song which I had already guessed was To hell and back. I typed it in watched the video and was thinking how cool and unique it was for a Band to write a song about Audie Murphy. I clicked on some suggested videos of Sabaton on the To Hell and Back video and my journey to become a Sabaton fan begun.
i really love the song, but i only wanted to know more about the history after not just hearing the amazing tail for "No Bullets Fly" but also seeing in the history Calendar and seeing Audie Murphy died 30 before i was born. i nearly shed tears once more for a Sabaton song after realizing his poem is in this song. you guys are masters of lyrics.
The best song of Sabaton, about a man like no other. Rest in peace Mr. Murphy, you are an icon for us all.
Hay me!A FELLOW TEXAN!..note.my great grandfather served in world war 2 on a naval aircraft carrier and he is still a live at 95-years-old and his name is Chaet Beleski.
Can you cover solider of 3 Armies next please
I adore this song. I have always heard Audie spoke of with great respect. My mom was a fan and my dad, a Korean vet-also with PTSD, saw him as a great man. Dad would refer to him by his rank frequently. Showing there is still a link between the Army and the Air Force!
In case you don't believe in miracles, I printed out the poem that was said, and then two others for school. The two random things were faded and I have to go back over the papers. The poem, completely unchanged, not faded and readable. It went random paper, poem, 2nd paper
The Italian campaign, one of 2 forgotten battlefields in the European Theater. Where heroes like Audie Murphy were led by some truly awful generals like Mark Clark and Harold Alexander
I wouldn't say 'forgotten' but surely not as well known as the western and eastern theatre.
I recall Anzio being mentioned in one of Bing Crosby's movies... I forget the name of it, but it was about a soldier whose unit fought at Anzio who became a showman and got his old unit together to surprise his commanding officer...

When you have depression it's similar, when you have a crisis you go to hell, when you finally get better you get back
That description of Audie Towards the end made me tear up
I wanna thank you guys for your videos. From the bottom of my heart, I love military history. The country doesn't matter. Your videos and music helped open my eyes wider. It makes me so proud to hear the stories and songs of my fellow countrymen. (I'm an American). So I say again, thank you both so much. Love your work, continue on!!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for the support!
He is a legend in his own way. No other has ever made an autobiography, gets adapted into a film and stars as himself, portraying as himself. See you in Valhalla, Audie.
Also I got to watch To Hell & Back movie long ago :)
I knew about Audie Murphy from the film he stared in as himself. When you did the song, I decided to read his memoir and finished reading it a couple weeks ago. It was truly was a phenomenal piece of literature. I recommend it for anyone who loves history. Keep it up Indy, Sabaton. Can't wait for the new album. 🤘🎵🇺🇸
He’s a good damned American Hero may he Rest In Peace
To Hell and Back was actually the first Sabaton song is every heard, I feel in love with it and it lead me to discovering my love for metal music
Took on an entire company with just his radio, and a burning tanks machine gun that blew up with him on it. While he had malaria
My reaction to this comment:czcams.com/video/ciMFxipOehE/video.html
The father of my father in law was a US combat medic at Anzio. He refused to be a medic after that, insisting he become a rifleman. He suffered as well from PTSD, becoming an alcoholic and later committing suicide.
Coming back to this during the week of the landing all those years ago. Rest in peace Audie. And we will never forget those who gave their lives to defeat the nazis
Seems like he was the inspiration for Captain America
Possibly, yes
@@SabatonHistory sadly, Captain America first appeared in 1941 before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. While Murphy is basically real-life Captain America, he is not the inspiration.
Smart
@@JohnSmith-yv6zd Thanks John. My only frame of reference was the recent Marvel movies.
i have a hunch he was considered as one of the inspirations for rambo, hipfiring machinegun, the ptsd undertones and the message about taking care of veterans and all seem to fit to a degree
This was the first Sabaton song I ever heard, and it is still one of my favorites! Great Video, even better song!
Awesome! Thanks!!
Now i understand this story way better. Thanks to this channel no one can afford to accuse Sabaton of supporting Nazism or fascism with their music, as I learned from a longtime Sabaton fan from the Czech Republic. Listen to the sound of Metal and Sabaton, because they sing the truth! 😉🤟
Hey Indy Audie Murphy's sister vouched for his age being 18, he also became a marksman by shooting small animals in the woods to provide food for his family. (His father was absent in his life).

Audie Murphy is my childhood hero for me! I used to watch the movie "To Hell and Back" on repeat, and still do!
Audie Murphys story is one of the greatest and most heartbreaking in the history of the world, his memory will never die and the deeds he did with a Heavy heart gave us the world we have today, we also have a board for him in the army and it's one of the hardest boards to actually complete with all the knowledge you have to know about him
What a brave, crazy man. Rest in peace lieutenant Murphy.
Saw Sabaton and this song in Boston last year. Best thing ever!
The first song of Sabaton. I ever heard was Primo Victoria on a Hellgate London GMV years ago and been a fan since. Would love to see them in concert here in the states in my area. They are right up there with Disturbed as one of my favorite bands. I love the history that they move me to go look for from their music. Keep up the good work guys, better than any history teacher i ever had.
Aside from Inmate 4859, this is easily the one I’ve been the most excited to get to. Fantastic job all around.
He was the original GI JOE American hero.
Amazing song, I love both the melody and the lyrics, especially the fact that you included lines from Murphy's poem, that is very clever
I watched this when it originaly came out. Now Im in the middle of Indy’s D-day ( to hell and back). Insane
I've known the name Audie Murphy for a while, but this is the first time I've heard his story. His horse ranch in California was where a neighborhood in my hometown now sits, and the area carries his name. Now I know why. Even with no connection myself, I'm honored to know a man like him was such a huge part of my area
Second favorite song on Heroes after Inmate 4859. Looking forward for that too.
Why did I receive another notification for this video
Cause one wasn't enough
re upload they removed the parts of them bagging out country music about Audie and that metal was better
the original posting was removed for some reason and they reposted it
Posted on CZcams two days early when it was supposed to be just for Patreons,
It was pretty confusing.
on Audie Murphy earning his Medal of Honor: when asked by a reporter on why he risked his life on a burning tank and firing a machine gun. He simply replied " they were killing my friends."
'celebrating his memory instead of crying over it'
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but can you do one on inmate 4859
It is the right place to ask and we might ;)
But do you know his name
Brutally Honest Metalhead I would assume they know his name. Remember how “we know his name.”
howard baxter just making a joke
Witold Pilecki
Amazing I love all these vid makes me love the music even more
I think Audie's son was particularly cool that the lyrics included his dad's poem and the video touched on his trauma and nightmares of PTSD...read the book a long time ago.
When this video was released, I was learning about the allied invasion of Italy in my history class.
Did you show it in class?
Sabaton History Sadly, no
This is the first sabaton song I ever heard, still love it
I would love to hear the story of the song hearts of iron. I Am a very big fan of the band and I also would to send regards from Colombia.
I was watching one of his movies and I thought to myself there is something special about this guy. Looked him up and I am right. What an amazing guy. I will never be able to see him as anything else
You completely summed up his appeal. Grit TV was showing The Kid from Texas, and I almost changed the channel. Glad I didn't. Even the films that are labeled "B," he's in them and holding his own. I just finished his book and saw the film, and wish more people would too. This is the reason that I heard this song, so excellent.
Wow. Didn't know about the poetry or that Sabaton drew so heavily on one of his poems for the lyrics to that song. Right in the feels.
