We are aware that you've been waiting for this one for a long, long time. Well, HERE IT IS! The US 369th Infantry Regiment achieved great fame during the Great War, earning themselves the name "Harlem Hellfighters". This is their story! Let us know what you think in the comment section. Did you enjoy it?

Why didn't you play Hellfighters when you were in NYC? Could have easily replaced Steel Commanders with this. Plus, you could have invited current members of the 369th Sustainment Brigade.
@@NYMetsNo1Because they create their setlist before they even get here. It didn't make the cut. 🤷🏻♀️
It was worth waiting for! It's one of my favorite songs from the album, along with The Valley of Death and Stormtroopers.. and Dreadnought.. and Sarajevo.. Ok, the whole album is just amazing and I can't wait to see the movie! 😊🤘
No no no. Again the sames mistakes about the 15th New York Infantry! The war memory writing by the commanding officer of the first compagnie of this regiment, Arthure W Little (title: "From Harlem to the Rhine") contradict you in somes points: (making anything about this regiment without read this book is a felony).
1) The no playing band when they leave France is a lie:
"Upon the afternoon of january 31 st, I led the troops for our embarkation of that day from Camp Pontanezen to and throught the city of Brest, down to the docks where tenders waited to carry us out to the steamer. We marched in silence. Every man had been warned and every man had taken this warning seriously.
We might fave been off upon a mission similar to that of the immortalized "Burial of Sir John Moore": "Not a drum was heard - Not a funeral note."
....
As our last tender was ready to shove off, the Chief of Staff of the base who stood talking with me, said "Major, I didn't notice before, but you've got your band with ou, haven't you?"
"Yes sir," I answered.
"Can they play?"
"Yes sir."
"Well, why don't you give us a tune as you leave?"
"I"m sure it would be very welcome to us, sir;" I answered; " but I'm not taking any chance of losing our sailing place. If you so direct, sir, Il will give the order."
"Yes, yes, by all means, let us have some music!"
"Mr Europe", I addressed the leader, "you may play!"
And so our men, once more with the music that they loved so well stirring their hearts, hade farewell to France. This Chief of Staff was a human being.
"
2) The Henry Johnson's rifle had no jam. He had empty his rifle and he had no time to reload his rifle. Same book:
"The Labelle rifle [in reality it was a Berthier rifle...] carries a magazine clip of but three cartridges. Johnson fired his three shots - the last on almost muzzle to breast of the Boche bearing down upon him. As the German fell, a comrade jumped over his body, pistol in hand, to avenge his death.
There was no time for reloading. Johnson swung his rifle round his head, and brought it down with a thrown blow upon the head of the German. "
3) They had some training before embarking for France, and intensive trainingby the french army between mid march and mid may 1918
or your pleasure, an extract of a letter of Colonnel W Hayward (commandig officer to the 15th infantry New Yorkrenamed 369th us infantry) to colonnel Reginald L Foster, 52nd pioneer infantry: "There are no american troops anywhere near us, that i can find out, and we are "les enfants perdu" and glad of it. Our great american, general simply put the black orphan in a basket, set it on the door step of the French, pulled the bell, and went away. I said this to a french colonnel with an "english spoken here" sign on him, and he said: "weelcome leetle black babbie."
And then, a year after the war ended, we had the Battle of Brewery Gultch in Bisbee, Arizona. The police chief there formed a posse to "disarm all the negroes they could find" which for context was the buffalo soldiers of the 10th Cavalry that were in town to march in the Independence Day parade.
According to W. Allison Sweeney in "History Of The American Negro In The Great World War", the line held by the Harlem Hellfighters was 50km long between Rheims and the Argonne forest until 14 July, 1918, Bastille Day. This comprised 20% of the entirety of the American line. A line held fast by Americans fighting under the French, because their own countrymen refused to serve with them.
how is your comment 3 days older then the video?
@@st1ssl214 I'm one of Sabaton History Channel's Patrons. One of the perks is access to new episodes early.
@@fudgepacker2858 Except that it actually is the only reason. While it's true Pershing created an independent American force for troop morale, casualty accountability, and to give Pres. Wilson a better position for peace talk negotiations, "...Pershing made an exception for the black soldiers of the 369th, reassigning them to the French on March 10. (Pershing’s attitudes toward black troops were complicated; he served with the all-black 10th Cavalry in 1895, from whence he got his nickname “Black Jack,” but wrote in his 1931 memoir that black soldiers needed more training because of “lower capacity and lack of education.”) Hayward, who had lobbied Pershing to let his troops fight, captured the ironies of the general’s decision in a letter. “A fairy tale has materialized,” wrote Hayward. “We are now a combat unit…. Our great American general simply put the black orphan in a basket, set it on the doorstep of the French, pulled the bell, and went away.” Smithsonian Magazine May 14, 2018 And since Col. Hayward was the 369th's CO, and was there, he probably knows best.
Good homework 👍👍🤘
French soldiers can't refuse the front or they were condamned to death penalty. They were just not enough because all of them were wounded or dead. Thank you.
Fought for freedom overseas while enduring racism at home. Salute to these true heroes.
Woodrow Wilson had a lot to do with that racism.
but not for their freedom
cringe
@@gamiastisgitoniasBecause black community want to proof them self no matter colour your are no matter your different we all love our country our family our friends and freedom we all the same.
@@918Mitchell true that. Wilson was awful.
@@gamiastisgitonias They fought and died to prove themselves equal. Show some respect, you fucking child.
How badass are you that even the Germans called you "Hellfighters"
Germany has a habit of giving their enemies badass nicknames
Fun Fact: The Harlem Hellfighters is still an Active Unit as the 369th Sustainment Brigade in the New York National Guard
One fact about Henry Johnson that wasn’t mentioned is that when he died, his family wasn’t given his body and it was believed he had been buried in a pauper’s grave. However, it turned out that the military had given him a military burial and he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
At first, I thought this was going to be a sad comment. But then I realized it was going to be a happy-sad comment.
@@Springtrap11556The Hellfighters deserved so much better. They should’ve been treated as heroes, not outsiders.
@@Powerranger-le4up damn straight
These heroes need more recognition.
I’m glad we learned about these warriors when I was a sophomore in high school
As a Pole I salute brave Harlem Hellfighters, our brothers from overseas - since we've been named "White Negroes of Europe" by the Haitians. The Polish Blue Army in France, made in large part of Polish Americans, fought at the same time as the Hellfighters in 1918, fighting for freedom of Poland. Poles also faced discrimination in the US at that time for being Catholic and "wrong kind of white" & of course facing persecution & antipolonism from Germany & Russia back in Europe.
the Haitians killed the French and the Poles. France sent you to ur death. Poles never saw black people until the U.S brought them into Europe during Marshal law at the end of the war. Hellfighters is more B.s of a story. The hoax of black victimization is never ending. Do not let them in Poland, your women will be raped and you crime will sky rocket.
I thought that was the Irish. The british say the same thing about the Irish. I'm Irish and Polish. 🤣 Polska Go Bragh 🇵🇱☘️ Polska forever.
The Harlem Hellfighters had their roots in the Buffalo Soldiers, who were commanded by General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. He had great respect for them, even though he couldn't come right out and say it. Politics at the time weren't where they should've been.
I always wondered why he was called that!
Absolutely true. Other officers used to call him "N-word jack" since he served with the Buffalo Soldiers and treated them fairly, until Pershing got promoted to General and then it became Blackjack.
@@brianhuss9184 cant be seen insulting a general it seems
@@jasonml3508 Would be bad for one's career. If lucky you were demoted/relegated to the states, at worst you were ordered to lead from the front in the worst fighting.
Truth!
These dudes really went out and fought on behalf of a country that discriminated against them. That’s legitimately heroic, fighting on behalf of people who don’t deserve you, but you give because you’re that kind of person.
(Verse 1)
In the trenches, a hero's tale unfolds,
Henry Johnson, a warrior bold.
A soldier in the Great War's darkest hour,
His courage and strength, unmatched in power.
(Pre-Chorus)
Through the fire and smoke, he fought with might,
Defending his brothers in the dead of night.
With metal in his hand, he stood tall,
Ready to answer the enemy's call.
(Chorus)
Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel,
In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed.
A legend born in the fires of war,
His name forever etched, forever more.
(Verse 2)
Beneath the moonlit sky, his valor shone,
A symbol of bravery, standing alone.
Against all odds, he held his ground,
With every swing, a victory resound.
(Bridge)
The clash of swords, the roar of guns,
Henry Johnson fought like a thousand sons.
Through blood-stained fields, he carved his name,
A warrior's legacy, forever aflame.
(Chorus)
Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel,
In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed.
A legend born in the fires of war,
His name forever etched, forever more.
(Guitar Solo)
(Verse 3)
Though wounds may scar and memories fade,
Henry Johnson's legacy will never evade.
His sacrifice echoes through time,
A testament to bravery, sublime.
(Pre-Chorus)
Through the fire and smoke, he fought with might,
Defending his brothers in the dead of night.
With metal in his hand, he stood tall,
Ready to answer the enemy's call.
(Chorus)
Henry Johnson, a warrior of steel,
In the heart of battle, his spirit revealed.
A legend born in the fires of war,
His name forever etched, forever more.
(Outro)
In the annals of history, his story remains,
Henry Johnson, a hero who broke the chains.
In metal's embrace, his valor shall soar,
Forever remembered, forever more.
whats this song called?
@@dripmaestrolxix4228it’s original. The commenter just came up with it to hopefully have sabaton make a song of it for the Black Death.
@@Smithy1991Just got reminded of Don't Tread on Me (Harlem Hellfighters), by 1914.
@@bobolobocus333 thats a great song
@@Smithy1991 damn i didnt know that. thats pretty dope
Here's my entry for the song about Henry Johnson:
We're no strangers to war
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna get trained up
Never gonna get shot down
Never gonna run away and desert you (Needham)
Never gonna let you die
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna dig latrines or tell you (about the phony racial harmony in the trenches)
What do you think?
Thanks for sharing it! 🤘
briliant xD Joakim needs to sing this live someday xD
Its genius man, I'll do a parody of Never gonna give you up with your lyrics one day lol
Did we just get Henry-rolled?
A part of me knows this is a parody but another part of me wants this to me legit
Hey I want a gold star! Here's my song for Henry Johnson:
(Pre-verse)
Late in the nineteenth century.
Born to serve the three six nine infantry.
Famous for all his bravery.
(Verse 1)
Sent ashore to the Meuse-Argonne.
Three years in and the French were holding on.
Henry fought to cover their back.
Held in contempt because his skin was black.
(Pre-chorus 1)
They proved to the world what Hellfighters could do.
Six months in hell as they all powered through.
(Chorus)
Johnson and Roberts back to back.
Under fire from sniper attack.
Overwhelmed support on its' way.
They refused to go down easily.
Knives in hand they fight into the night.
Held the line until the morning light.
(Verse 2)
Earning his name as the Black Death.
Kept fighting on until his final breath.
Whilst being a race so despised.
Enduring a world of hatred and lies.
(Pre-chorus 2)
They proved to the world they were not to be scorned.
Six months in hell as they carried the war.
(Chorus)
Johnson and Roberts back to back.
Under fire from sniper attack.
Overwhelmed support on its' way.
They refused to go down easily.
Knives in hand they fight into the night.
Held the line until the morning light.
(GUITAR SOLO)
(Pre-chorus 3)
They proved to the world they would not be silenced.
They proved their worth with the sound of violence.
(Chorus)
Johnson and Roberts back to back.
Under fire from sniper attack.
Overwhelmed support on its' way.
They refused to go down easily.
Knives in hand they fight into the night.
Held the line until the morning light.
(Post-verse)
June second twenty fifteen.
Medal of honour posthumously.
To honour his memory.
Mad Respect to Henry Johnson. He deserved so much more than what he got in life. Good thing he eventually got the recognition he deserved. A movie should be made about him. But at least Sabaton sang an awesome song about his unit.
His family was led to believe he was buried in a pauper’s grave. It turned out that the military had actually buried him with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery.
Well, there was the "Lady Death" of the Red Army, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who was a sniper with 309 confirmed kills. (For an album about the different colors of death.)
Now we got White, Red, and Black. All we need now is green, blue, orange, purple, yellow, and grey.
In a world war, one game I play I was able to convince my entire team (American) to customize their player character to the Harlem Hellfighters. Also I got them to sing Over There
That was a pretty epic thing to do 🤘
This is probably my second favourite song of the album, after Christmas Truce, and I'm incredibly happy to see it's covered. It's fast, heavy and distorted, almost feels like, if you lowered the tuning, and add some harsh vocals it could switch genre.
Love the idea of an album about all the "[blank] death" legends.
Not sure about "Colours of Death" though, maybe "Shades of Death"?
And Johnson absolutely deserves his own song!
"Shades of Death" sounds much better.
How many colors of death do we have right now? I've got White Death, Lady Death (Russia), and Black Death . All we need now is green, blue, orange, purple, pink, yellow, and grey.
‘Pink death’ instantly makes me think of the SAS ‘Pink Panther’ Land Rovers. Awesome machines and deadly men, in one rosy package of horsepower and firepower!
This story has the making of a blockbuster movie. But as it stands, it's the greatest modern day movie never made.
It would surely be something worth watching!
Love Joakim’s t-shirt! 🤣
What makes the story of the Harlem Hellfighters so enduring isn't simply what they endured, and what they are. It was their character and competence. These guys weren't just an all-black regiment. They were also supremely qualified soldiers who proved their mettle on the battlefield. That is what makes their lack of recognition even more of a crime. These guys were heroes, through and through.
In fact, this was probably one of the first songs that actually inspired me to go out of my way to learn more about the subject, and I'm honestly glad I did because I wasn't feeling patient enough to wait for the Sabaton History episode. xD
They were primarily black, but there were other races in the group like Puerto Ricans.
Yes, so many fans have been waiting for this video about the Harlem Hellfighters. Thanks for this great interview, and special thanks to Joakim and Chris for the music, and Joakim for the lyrics 🌟🌠🌌🌟🌟
I'm so glad you guys talked about the 369th undergoing horrible mistreatment at home, this is by far the most important detail about their history that speaks a lot to the despicable effects of American systematic racism. The Hellfighters will always be one of my favorite military units in US History, thank you so much for finally covering this badass song and topic!
The band “1914” wrote a song about Henry Johnson, its called “Dont Tread On Me”
It's nice to see the Hellfighters getting the recognition they deserve after all these years, I listened to the first Great War album while reading the Max Brooks comic and was hoping one day the band would write a song about them
I like to think that Black Death and the Finnish White Death would be great friends.
Great! You always do a great job with everything you produce. Another fantastic episode. Thank you Sabaton and Indy for your educational stories❤
Thank you once more Margrit for watching, we're happy you enjoyed it 😉
As a lyricist who loves this story I actually wrote something about Henry Johnson quite a while ago and I still have it. No way I'm submitting anything though lol
On the discussion of different death colours like White death, black death etc.
I would like to stake my claim here to be known from now on as the "Lavender Death". I will also accept "Tyrian Purple" Death and "Mauve" Death.
When one is in the trenches and the battle isn't going well, the skin color of reinforcements quickly becomes a non issue.
3:17 also worth noting france had plenty of colonial troops from africa whom by that time hav earned the respect of many French people and soldiers and were known as shock troops.
This song has to be top 2 on the war to end all wars album 🤘🔥🤟
Black Death one of the best nicknames ever.Not sure about that Red Death nickname however Lyudmila Pavlichenko the female Russian
sniper of WWII was known as Lady Death.
Been Jonesing for some Sabaton History. Good episode and keep em coming.
imagine a country, telling another allied country, to treat their own soldiers like shit
These guys deserve their on museum
It kind of bugged me that the actual song and lyrics never mention what was controversial about them, or that they were from Harlem, in the non-History version track
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!! This was the last episode I needed to complete my playlist of the great war and Sabaton history! Let's goooo!!!
In the eternally long list of things I wish I had the time to dig into more, I find the different treatments of underclass/slave/segregated military units fascinating. You have everything from outright bans on ethnic or religious groups from enlisting, to cases like this where they were relegated to non-combat duty, to instances where they were used as cannon fodder, to rare cases of equal or even elite status. I feel like there has to be some meaningful insight we can gain into the societies that implement these different styles. I think if you asked the average historically illiterate person today, they would expect all such troops to have been considered expendable, but that seems to rarely be the case. I have no real thesis as to why so many different cultures handled the same situation differently, but it's interesting to think about.
Please play live in the us it goes so hard
Love this song!🤘
YES!!!!! I've been waiting for this one. Thanks gang!!!
Been waiting for this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for good episode we are want know more history:)
The final bass note at the end always gives me chills, just feels like an artillery report.
Edit: Day 1 of waiting for the "Rainbow of Death" album
Darauf habe ich schon die ganze Zeit gewartet.
Absolute heroes! Truly!
The way these men were treated is sickening to me.
good stuff!
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Thanks a lot! We're so glad you enjoy our content 🤘
@@SabatonHistory Of course! Your content is always entertaining 😁
This Is so cool
Henry Johnson was a hero
Fighting for his country in the war
He was part of the Harlem Hellfighters
A regiment of brave black soldiers
They faced racism and discrimination
But they never gave up their mission
They fought with courage and skill
And earned respect and admiration
Henry Johnson was wounded in a battle
But he kept fighting with his rifle and his bolo
He saved his fellow soldier from capture
And received the highest honor from France
He was a legend and a inspiration
A symbol of freedom and determination
He was part of the Harlem Hellfighters
A regiment of proud black warriors
episode 123 and is from one of my favorite songs
I thought they were called the 20th national guard regiment and were only named the 369th when they were put under French command.
I've missed watching this history videos
i still hope to one day see a song about the war of 1864 when the prussians and austrians went to war with little Denmark.
I mean it was a short war. and we Danes lost. Horribly. But i guess i'd like to hear something about it.
Juat pointing put that the band 1914 already have a song about Johnson ("don't tread on me", in the album "where fear and weapons meet")
He was named Henry, American as hell,
He was told to dig, at best the next well.
Upon enlisting in french forces
He'd bear the weight of a dozen horses.
With grenade and bayonet he'd held the line
Twenty to one, no soldier as fine!
Chorus
Alright! Sabaton History!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
GUYS WE NEED THE COLORS OF DEATH 😯🤟
Joakim rockin da UF Pros again based
The song is my favorite on the album

FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE FOR A LONG TIME! INDY, JOCKE, THANK YOU GUYS! HELLO FROM RUSSIA! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
P.S. Maybe you should make a whole album dedicated to Russia and Serbia? It's not a bad idea, in my opinion....
I really hope that sabaton wuld make a song abut the Tusky Airmen (AKA) The Ted Tails 🙏
so they know about the Black Death Sniper....wait, did a google search. not the guy who I was thinking of, the one I was thinking of was the Sheikh of Snipers
I think throughout US history non white military units have been some of the most badass soldiers ever.
I don't know I'm no military expert but sending untrained soldiers on sentry duty or having them hold 20% of your line with 1% of the soldiers (still untrained) seems like the easiest way to loose a war.
Of course we enjoyed it. We enjoy all of these. Thank you for acknowledging heroes on all sides. You guys can do no wrong. Thank you
Waiting to hear Harlem hellfighter since simple history 2017, then read Harlem hellfighter in Graphic Novel 2019, then hear Sabaton on March 2021 when I put the comment asking for music video if possible, and finally this today 2023.
.
Edit update:
Good job Sabaton for making a lot of History of your song and you too Indy

As a one-time boy from Harlem, I endorse this video!
I love Metalizer 😭
Great song. Great vid.
Wanted to let you know too, if you haven't done it, that someone placed an age restriction on the video about the song We Burn.
Y’all are the coolest nerds I’ve seen in my short, short life! Howdy from Texas!
We'll take that as a compliment 😎 Thank you for your support!
The fact y’all reply to these lil’ comments are what makes y’all great.
Verse 1:
I fought 'neath the Red Triangle banner on the battlefields of France
The Harlem Hellfighters they had our backs, nobody had a chance
We trampled through the thick of smoke and fire, rushing towards our foes
We never took a single step back, 'til the battle was finally over
Chorus:
The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line
Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky
They never wavered, they never backed down
The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around
Verse 2:
We flew in the face of true danger, in WWI they shone
'Gainst the welter of shells and the hail of bullets, we marched steady and strong
We stood our ground no matter the cost, no whining or bickering
We held fast together, we were brothers in arms, the Harlem Hellfighters
Chorus:
The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line
Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky
They never wavered, they never backed down
The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around
Bridge:
Standing proud in the face of disbelief and doubt
The Harlem Hellfighters didn't back away, kept their courage all throughout
No matter the odds we remained strong till the dawn
United by courage, we fought on and on
Chorus:
The Harlem Hellfighters, they held the line
Always emerging victorious, like burning stars in the sky
They never wavered, they never backed down
The Harlem Hellfighters, the bravest around
My nickname in the army was the red reaper
Johnson legacy would inspired the iconic halo character Sgt Johnson
Ironic how France gave medals out to the Harlem Hellfighter soldiers when America (their own country) refused to
Henry Johnson, born in N.C. and grew up in my town of Albany, NY. Even has a street named after him. Now come back to play Albany, NY again!!! 😂
His grave can be visited in Washington DC. It was originally thought that he was buried in a pauper’s grave, but the US military had buried him in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
2:28 The fact that they decided to include the "secret information" in the whole SICBAT thing is quite funny if you ask me. As horrible as racism is sometimes the ignorance involved can come across as funny: Like issuing a formal military document to another nation concerning "secrets" as if black people are not just people with "black" skin and instead some kind of new discovery or mysterious unknown force.
Also, there motto was God damn LEEETSSS GOO?
LEEETTTSSSSS GOOOOOOO is also what the zoomers say and im pretty sure it was popularized by black culture. See. Thats hillarious too but in a wholesome way. Somethings never change
Looks like Indy is planning to make bangers and mash.
Already got depressed trying to write a concept for a tv show about Pilecki. I done trying for a gold star
I'd been waitin for this episode...FOR SO LONG
Id love for sabaton to make a song about jan zizka
This is one hellof a history video 2 mega thumbs up a hell with my two big toes make it 4 thumbs up loved it
😂 Satán is always involved
@SabatonHistory Good evening, would it be okay if you did an episode on Tun Tavern and the founding of the US Marine Corps? I apologize for the short notice and subsequent inconvenience; thank you for your consideration.
Sabaton allows to suggest ideas on their website.

Please tell me I am not the only person who cries in Sabaton History videos!
Those aren't tears! Those are tiny water soldiers marching down my face into battle!
The treatment these men faced is sickening to see. The fact they did what they did and to that level while they were being shunned by their own country is amazing. It really speaks volumes to their bravery.
they cleaned toilets.
13:11, if its so bad then do a remake like 7734 on the next album pretty please 🥺
Respect to these Americans Heroes who endured the Evils and Bigotries of the Dixie Pig Filth in America while serving their country abroad in war and going above and beyond for their country in war.
Well We can’t rightly call them Dixie because it wasn’t just the southern states. Unfortunately it was a horrible thing that had been going on in New York ,Indiana Maine, and other Northern states as well.
Do primarily to Misconcepted race science which was terrible and of course the obvious Ku Klux Klan but lesser known Know nothing party influences which that ideology was still around up that way at that time If I’m not mistaken.
You do know that Harlem is in the NORTH, right? You might want to try THINKING next time.
Pattons panthers deserve a video.
That was some great history. I knew that Blacks fought with the French, and that they were very brave. I also knew that Black soldiers from America were always brave and honored their family's no matter where they were assigned. I enjoyed working with Blacks in my military career. We were one big happy unit.
