- The life of Karel Janoušek is anything but ordinary. Throughout his live, he serves in the militaries and air forces of multiple countries, but time and again he ends up fighting for his native Czechoslovakia heritage. The Sabaton song Far from the Fame describes his life, his adventures and his experiences.

He really sacrificed everything, and after 2 world wars he still couldn't have peace. It's good to know in the end he was honored.
thats the case generally in central and eastern europe
@Psycho Yoshi I'm subbed to you from a different video from over a year ago?!
but what use after death.
he died a hero(unsung) to his land.
until a lot later
Čest a sláva jemu
Honor And fame to him
@@imnoone7857 You are a human, which means that you are more than you think.
This episode made me realize how much I want a Sabaton podcast to listen to the off topic conversations.
I wouldn't know when we would have to produce that, but its a great idea
Name it Sabaton History: After Dark Anecdotes.
Indy "I took Pervitine once in Prague" Nidell strikes again.
SneakyBadAss when did he say it?
@@mattcade3039 On the channel World War Two in one of the episodes about Nazis on crystal meth
This one to be exact (Blitzkrieg on Speed - czcams.com/video/OuCXlD7gQ3o/video.html)
Was there ever a product with a name that's more epic than Panzerschokolade ?
@@Duke_of_Lorraine If anything, Power Thirst.
Not only did he end up taking the long way out of Russia, he took the long way to France and a five year trip back to Czechoslovakia. Home wasn't quite as he remembered, though.
The Czech version Odyssey but irl
Ok, now I'm interested in Indy's party days in Prague.
He probably cannot remember.
Check out the 'Blitzkrieg on Speed' episode on his WW2 channel for another story from those days: czcams.com/video/OuCXlD7gQ3o/video.html
@@indiananeidell9186 We need a full length episode then. :)
Hey lieber Netro and Indy I was there once,such a great city,love the Karlsbrücke the Hradschin , nice people !!!
Hope you can go there one day lieber Netro Lancer.
LG Alex🤘and try the beer pls!!!
@@alexandrah9824 Awesome.
Three inmates meet at one cell during communism:
inmate n.1: I spoke against comrade Novak
inmabe n.2: I supported comrade Novak
inmate n.3: I am comrade Novak
Fuck yeah Czech communism jokes.
*laughs histerically in czech* Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you...
přesně moje pocity :D
The sad thing is he wasn't alone in his misfortune. So many great men and women were imprisoned and executed by both the nazis and the communists. But the worst thing is that they are now forgotten.
This is why this song is so important. It reminded at least one of our great heroes not only to the wide world, but, and that's the most important, to our own people.
Thank you, Sabaton.
jo jo tak tak
exactly my words
Inmate 4859
Also Lauri Alan Tourni
It's a heinous crime to distort history in the way it was because the damage is permanent. Sherded documents can't be peiced back together and tarnished legacies will never be properly restored. It's truly one of the worst things one can do in my mind.
Even worse is the destruction of the country. So many people left to get away from communism.
Why wrap it up? I could have watched that conversation for at least 30 more minutes
more videos to film for us!
Now I really want to see uploads of them randomly talking about shit. It's awesome
@@ashenwuss1651 I would legit buy a podcast of these guys just talking about random shit
Fight against authoritarian Fascists for years
Come back to find an authoritarian Communist government
“Aww shit, here we go again”
Can't wait to hear Indy talk about Larry Thorne
@@Arbiter099ah, the man who hated communists so much he fought in 3 different armies just to kill them.
@@dylanholding98 I heard his story on Simple History's channel... incredible guy with incredible personal history who did extraordinary things... guys from Sabaton should really do a song about him, If they didn't already
@@AndrewMitchell123 look up Soldier of 3 Armies. It's about him
@@dylanholding98 dude I know, I have just literally write that
Czechoslovak legion story and their trip around the globe definetly deserves it`s own song.
Did you know the Legions managed to smuggle five baby bears from Siberia all the way through the USA to Czechoslovakia and gave them to the, at the time, president T. G. Masaryk?
@@plutotheplanet5341 I did not know that. But tbh i'm not surprised.
I agree. That journey is something to remember.
4:07 that armoured train the Czechoslovak Legion captured? That's the legendary Zaamurets. Though under their command it would be renamed Orlik. This is the train that inspires the armoured train behemoth in BF1.
It's kind of telling that being part of the legendary Czechoslovak Legion is practically a footnote in this guy's life.
That is cool
The fact how these heroes like Janoušek or Witold Pilecki were humiliated in the Soviet era is outrageous. Very likely this is why so few people heard about them outside their countries (and maybe, inside too?), if they had lived a little bit more to the West, Hollywood movies would have been made about them long ago. Luckily, we have Sabaton to spread the word about them.
Exactly! That's what I was thinking too.
Soviets cared little for their own heroes. No wonder they did such things to ours.
It's such a shame none of them lived long enough to see free Czech republic, Slovakia or Poland once again restored...
...but we still remember their names.
As long as people listen to Sabaton their names will never be forgotten.
I don't believe Hollywood really would care about them. Maybe some Czech director would make a movie about one of them, but would anyone give him money to do this?
What a slap in the face! It's quite sad that he didn't get to see the return of his prestige and hard earned work. Thanks for the story guys. Episode and song are great ❤
Quite sad indeed, but at least he got to experience the Prague Spring.
That is why we sometimes say in this country "beat up commies, they know what is that for". 40 years of oppression and we still have a political party called "communist party of Czechia and Moravia), that for the FIRST TIME IN 2021- since 1989 (Velvet revolution) - DIDN´T GET TO PARLIAMENT (you need at least 5% total votes for that, btw). Just imagine that shit...
Joakim, your Czech is beautiful 😂
Whenever people complain about having a long journey home, bring up the Czechoslovak Legion and how they went literally around the world.
The guy on that bicycle is called Večerníček :) your Czech is awesome!
Thanks!
and shows before and after good night story for children. Or used to when a was a child.
@@SabatonHistory And here's the opening and closing themes. First part is modern version and second half is B&W version from 1965.
czcams.com/video/SS4ZYErUvQI/video.html
Is there a dedicated song about the march of the czech legion? Because I feel like that could be right up Sabaton's alley
I was kinda hoping for that song to be on album dedicated to the Great war. Well maybe sometimes in the future
I could watch entire 20 minute long videos of just Indys and Joakims conversations
We can always do that when we run out of songs
@@SabatonHistorynice
Finally :) I've been waiting for this song since sabaton history started. An amazing song and fascinating story. You guys are absolute legends!
Thanks a lot!
"It's like Lego, easy as fuck." God dammit Joakim, stop giving me more reasons to love you guys.
He just can't help it
His story is one sure damn telling. And the way his legacy and his life was abused by the Soviets is revolting. With this guys, Janoušek got the fame he deserves and a big legacy that is now honored. Plus one hell of a song. One that certainly got me rocking at Graspop.
Hey Evert , das glaub ich dir gerne🤘🤘🤘rock on.LG Alex🤘
unfortunatelly i would guess 90% of people dont know who Janousek was... communism destroyed all memmories, thanks to Sabaton for this!
@@MrRichieHK That's why they do what they do. To tell the stories so they won't be forgotten.
The fact that czechs, who had been betrayed by the british, still risked and lost their lives defending the british, really shows the spirit of our country
He might have been in life far from fame, but in death he will never be forgotten.
He was held in Leopoldov prison? Man, i grew up in that town and i never knew, now i wont be able to look at it the same way again.
Very similar story to Polish WW2 Ace - Stanislaw Skalski. Poles and Czechs shared so many common things... It's a pity, that our own animosities after 1918 were so strong, that we didn't stand together against Hitler in 1938. Let's hope, that V4 will change it in the future. Greetings from Poland to all Slavic Nations!
It is getting harder and harder to act together when PiS are dismantling your justice system and democracy controlling mechanisms. We take it with a hard eye here in CZ.
Though really good job with Ukrainian refugees and visiting Kyiv in outbreak of war with our PM as well before it was cool. At least some have heart on the right place
@@siriusczech Elections are coming and we'll try to kick'em out ;)
Greetings from Slovakia... I was wondering, whether Joakim spoke any czech, but hey, at least the accent sounds nice :)
Well of course he does. They know all languages.
@@pulsespear9914 what? I doubt they know all languages, maybe he speaks czech because he is half czech..?
@@okurkingcz6882 It was a joke about the "Hearts of Iron" episode. They made a comment about how some fans seem to think that the band knows every language they use in their songs
Kinda sad that not many people know about Czechoslovak heroes. For example, how many people know who killed Reinhard Heydrich? Not many I think (he was killed by Czechoslovak paratroopers Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík + other Czechoslovaks that took part in Operation Anthropoid).
I actually did know that (because of the book HhhH)
Glad to hear that!
Not czechoslovaks, a Czech and a slovak
At that time, they were Czechoslovaks.
@@melonfelon1574 At that time Czechoslovaks.
One of my favourite Sabaton songs!
13:55 "Z elektriky" can mean "from electricity". But here it means "From tram". Tran can be "tramvaj" "elektrika" or in Moravia they use "Šalina" .
Šalina is superior
I used to imagine the devil running out from an outlet"zásuvka", since if someone says stick it into electricity, they mean to plug it into the outlet. I'm from a northern Bohemia village and hadn't seen a tram until I was about eight or so and got to a big city with a school trip.
@@ivetanovotna7949 yeah too but thats cuz am Slovak and yeah, its električka here so i imagines it from outlet
Nazis: "OK, we can't get you, we give up."
Czech communists: "Haha, here you have life-sentence in uranium mines for your service for your country in other colours than red!"
This man is one of the most badass persons to have ever walked the earth.
Respect.
I really love when they speak czech, greetings from Slovakia 🇨🇿🇸🇰
Joakim is half Czech huh? That's awesome cause I'm half Czech myself!
Amazing song for a legend of a man! Thank you Sabaton for telling us about him
Hey there, my half-brother! What is the other half of your blood?
"Devil flew out of electricity"
While I understand the machine translation error, it hurts nonetheless :D ("Elektrika", though it does mean "electricity", is a slang term for a tram)
Our editor doesn't speek Czech, and neither do the people who do the fact checking. We're sorry;)
@@SabatonHistory To be fair I am czech and I didn't know it until now... Sometimes I was just wondering what does it mean.
@@thatm4t3s It is kinda old term, from the times when tramway was written the English way :-) If you know Rychle Šípy, their original comics used elektrika commonly :-)
I am native Czech - from countryside - and I remember that as a kid I always imagined the fiend jumping from breaker panel or something. When I learned that it just means tramway... somehow it feels way less magic that way.
@@podlesh I always imagined Satan being flung from a power line. Childhood was great, wasn't it?
The saddest thing is that we havent learn about Karel Janoušek in school.
Děkuji Sabatonu za tenhle díl, hanba že tohle není v učebnicích, A salutuji s paroháčem z Česka 🤘
"And we're getting off topic" *laughter*
Never change Indy
Never change Sabaton
It's a shame that I never knew of this guy until now. You have my gratitude for enlightning me. Keep being awesome and may this great man rest in peace, he's more than earned it.
You can strip a person of their honors and awards, but you cannot strip a person of who they are or what they did.
This one was a little harder to follow. The use of a few maps would be Fantastic please!
Very many thanks!
Noted, thanks for the feedback
@@SabatonHistory thanks for being amazing! Love the Channel!
Didn't know the story, but he really truly deserves to be a hero, he sacrifice everything,.
Also I am a fan of Chris, so any fact of him makes me happy 😊
Love to Janoušek and Czech republic from Serbia 🇷🇸❤️🇨🇿
He actually remembers Večerníček( the little guy on a unicycle). Fells good to be a Czech guy. Oh and my grandmas uncle František Truhlář served in the RAF. There is even a documentary about him
I sobbed during this story.
He said "Přerov" :D very cool :)
I can not thank you guys enough on behalf of all Czech community watching your content, but take my deepest appreaciation from the bottom of my heart and wishes of good luck to the future!!!
I am not Czech, but he is our pride as well!!!
Проорал в голосину с его: Добрый вечер). Вообще круто что они решили запустить свою историю. Я считаю что это должно быть в школьной программе. Потому как из их песен, я узнал больше чем с курсов по истории в школьной программе.
(Shouted to his golosina: Good evening). Generally cool that they decided to run their story. I think it should be in the school curriculum. Because from their songs, I learned more than from history courses in the school curriculum.)
This was probably the best sabaton history video 'til now
Thanks!
" you want us to wrap it up?" Nooooo! Seriously that small talk, i love it.
Joakim laughing is the most precious thing :>
As Czech guy I find almost impossible to sing the ´´Karel Janoušek´´ in the song. It´s not easy to say it slow and by syllables if you speak the Czech fluently.
No joke this is my favorite history channel on youtube ive learned more here than most of my history classes throughout my life. Keep up the awesome work!
Thats great to hear, thanks!:)
Kudos to this courageous chap. Thank you.
Hell yeah it’s Thursday my dudes!
Also happen to be wearing my Praha drinking team shirt today 😄🍺🇨🇿
It sure is! 🤘
great story. rather heartbreaking. thank you for bringing this man the renown he deserves.
Great video, enjoyed it!
So nice to see how well these guys are getting along with each other!!! Great crew! Great episode! once again!!!!
I know, their chemistry is fantastic
This story makes me shed a tear every time! A true legend! Thank you Sabaton for remembering him!
It was our honour to do it
My favorite Sabaton song! Loved the video.
Thank you for this song !
I just finished running to this song! So glad to hear the story once more
Way to go!
This man was a hero indeed. he had an incredible life! Greetings from Italy
Another incredible video!
Have been waiting for far from fame thanx. Pet piv!
One of the heaviest Sabaton songs
"you can cut them up stick them back like LEGOs! It's easy, it's fun!
14:11 večerníček
One of my favorite songs from Sabaton
I was waiting for this video.
I love how Joakim is always so humorous
Výborně, čekání na tohle video se vyplatilo
Well, waiting for this video has paid off. :)
Happy to hear that ;)
But we still remember your name!
@@miyamotomusashi805 I'm sorry about your voice Qrow. It's a shame you lost it.
It's pleasure for my ears to hear your Czech - I expected that Joakim would speak pretty well, but even Indy? Every day is full of surprises. Greetings from Czech Republic.
Excellent Video as Always again.
Thanks!
I have been waiting for this one since I first heard the song. Amazing.
Thanks!
Wow, what a story. Glad he is honored.
Best sabaton history episode yet. Talking about people's stories is incredible!
Thanks!
Such an underrated song and underrated ace. Thanks Sabaton, for introducing me to a valiant hero.
You're welcome!
love the union jack in the back, perfect prop to include on traitor day
That means Karel Janoušek had to fight against Milunka Savić, the most decorted women soldier in the history. They both were born in the same year 1893 and they both fought in the Austrio-Hungarian-Serbian war, both of them on each side. ;-)
This sounds like a song I should listen too.
And let us know what you think about it!
@@SabatonHistory---I found it on the Sabaton channel after typing this comment. I like the song a lot.
This video is basicaly the reason, why I subcribed to this chanel :D. Thx guys. And dont worry I will keep watching :).
I was worried reading halfway through your comment!
DĚKUJI
the chemistry between indy and the band members is great haha
He's such an epic guy
The last part of the video is basically Joakim talking about the Czech republic and I love it
Am I the only one that really want to see the fight to the pacific?
“Oh no, our way back home is blocked by way too many enemies, what should we do?”
“We go east”
It's funny how I'm watching this on vacation in Prague.
Ok, so I'm Czech, I watch this and WW2 channel a LOT, I listen to Sabaton a LOT, but heeeey, I didnt you both have connection to Czech rep and can say beer in those many forms :)) Thas sooo cool:)
Dang, that dude went through a lot of crap, but remained a true hero. Thanks for highlighting his story! That's why I love this channel.
Oh, and 5 beers!! 🍻🍻🍺
That was a great conversation to listen to in the end xD
Yes, i waited for this song from the start :)
I hope we managed to meet your expectations!
One day there will be a Sabaton song about the American Revolution and it will be Epic! Kudos to all you guys at TimeGhost and Sabaton as we celebrate our Independence Day in the USA
Enjoy!
The most level headed metal BADAASS with EXCELLENT performance and music
It always surprises me how similar all the slavic languages are.
thank you very much.........our pride is very damaged since 1938 and this heroic person is one of many brave souls we can be proud of!
Coooooooooool😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
YESSSS FINALLY!!!!!!
Stories of CZS legionnaires are the ones worth to tell. Heroes of both world wars now labeled as traitors and forgotten by their own. Thank you
