- You don't generally think about Brazil when talking about World War Two. Still, they joined the Allied powers in 1942, after which the Brazilian Expeditionary Force played a role in the Invasion of Italy. The Sabaton song Smoking Snakes is about the Brazilian effort during World War Two and especially about three Brazilian soldiers who wouldn't surrender.

I'm brazilian, thanks a lot for both the song and this video
Ik you wont belive me but today i was thinking what part of history song you will present us today ,was listtening Smkoing snakes, and hoped it would be that one and here I came home looked up and see this bad boy uploaded :D .
O7 lot of repect for you guys
I want to see the story of Hearts of Iron. Just got into it but there isn’t so much about it.
Mad Irishman I think it would be better if they did a two stories video : Hearts of Irons and Attero Dominatus.
"I survived World War Two. I can survive a heavy metal concert."
Ballsiest words ever.
yes haha good humor is part of us Brazilians :)
He doesn't have balls of steel
Those are magnets
@@ninjartist36 ins't just steel or magnets, it's fuckin' uranium
@@stupidmagicporing1667 fuk no, it's tungsten
@@ninjartist36 Magnet balls would be a little impractical, wouldn't they? You'd either be sticking to yourself all the time or constantly repelling yourself and I'm not sure which would feel more weird! Though of course, as someone who doesn't own balls at all, I could be mistaken about that.
Sending this to my "history teacher" in 8th grade who never believed that there was latin american troops fighting in Europe during WWII, and actually gave me a F in a class for talking about it
What a bitch...
talk about a shallow way of thinking
Seu professor é um idiota.
How did he react
F- to ur teacher.
I'm at Italy right on exchange right now. I live in Pistoia, where is also a monument for brasils fallen soldiers in WW2
Cool!

Okay, the fact that the Brazilian Army made a cover of the song is pretty amazing!
Link to a video? Sounds interesting.
@@walnut4521 Well, they showed a short clip in this video.

Multiple covers, actually.

This song was performed by the orchestra during my ceremony of Incorporation into the Brazilian Army, as I received the beret from my father's hands. It has a special meaning to me.
Parabens, poucos tem o privilegio de servir
I'm so glad that I could help you out with the research for this amazing song. I'm being a fan since 2012 and Sabaton was the subject of my masters dregree in History. It means a lot to me that I could give a least a little bit in return. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for helping us out! It has been a great help!

fancy seeing you here
These Brazilian badasses deserve more attention and recognition. I wish there's more about them and we get to know them more. This is another reason to love Sabaton: giving history where no ordinary history class has ever shown.
Cheers from Brazil !

The story behind our aviation day.
A flight squad left Brazil with 350 men, including 43 pilots, on April 22nd 1945 (our aviation day), the squad did 44 take offs in 11 missions in a single day.
At the end of the day, the squad accumulated 44 individual missions and over 100 targets ranging from vehicles, tanks, forts and ferries destroyed.
They piloted P-47s.
Smoking snakes is such a powerful song! Respect to Brazil!
Hugs brother
Being respected by the senate is a honor
Thanks brother
Respect

O maior pecado da ditadura militar é como depois o povo fica com vexame de qualquer coisa militar.
@Peter Michalski this isnt a place to spread bs politics, please go somewhere else
Peter Michalski what exactly is a marxist curriculum?!?
And why should the leftists want to forget the civil war?
That doesn’t make any sense...
Like are you just one of those guys getting all their info of the internet and thinking the sporadic news you get is the actual state of the world?
That’d be sad.. so please .. explain
@Peter Michalski also if you really want to say that crap, last I checked it was right wing states that take out the civil rights movement and slavery (or white wash it) from their history books in schools while liberal states actually have more in depth analysis of their history so we dont repeat the mistakes of the past.
Great song, great presentation. Definitely cool they turned it into a march.
Thanks! very cool indeed! We love it
The Brazilian Air Force also had a fighter squadron attached to an American fighter group in Italy also, equipped with the P47 Thunderbolt.
And an observation squadron ;)
350Th Fighter Group
Brazilian 1 st Fighter Squadron “Senta a Pua!”
Code name JAMBOCK
@@Prietogui I've done a plastic model kit of one of their P47s, couldn't find any decal sheets so had to make them up from assorted spares and others from other aircraft kits,it looks good next to my American,RAF and French Jugs.
One of the three foreign units to receive Presidential Unit Citation from US.

My Great Grandfather helped train the Brazilian Expeditionary Force!

My greatgrandfather was a smoking snake, he came back alive, so thank for you grandfather's great Job!
Thank you. Respect from Brazil.
ty vm grandaddy now the bank owns the people again! YEY
@Nate McHale tell me more about it dude
"I survived a War, I think I can survive a heavy metal show"
You can't surpass the level of badassery this man handles daily. Respect from Argentina to this service and to all who gave everything and more in the war
so awesome that Brazil took that song in for marching bands
I know they made a cover, but is it actually a marching song?
@@genericname1238 I still have to hear it played in a parade myself, however, the band in the video wearing historical uniforms while playing the song is the Duque de Caxias Battalion, one of the oldest and most traditional Brazilian Army units; it was the Emperor's personal guard back in the 19th Century. If they're playing it and rehearsing it, chances are it is an actual marching song now.
Which is curiously how I came to know Sabaton: I first heard a military band play Smoking Snakes
You're kidding! Thats amazing
czcams.com/video/231fzghbaNQ/video.html this one?
Everyone starts somewhere, I found them through a winged hussars meme.
Not as unique, I know.
@@firstconsul7286 my friend showed my panzerkampf and I was still trying to find music I liked.
And, I already loved military history. So..
Believe if you want: I met Sabaton through an EVANGELICAL PREACHING I watched on CZcams HAHAHAHAHA
The pastor was talking about the virtues of biblical masculinity, which are: compromise and sacrifice. He said that in war these are the virtues that soldiers exercise. Therefore, men who want to exercise masculinity correctly according to the Bible must behave like soldiers: willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect others. As Jesus himself did!
In that video description he left 2 songs that told the story of men who exercised these virtues as men of God. He introduced about the soldiers of the D-Day in Normandy and about the Brazilian heroes of Monte Castello. The two links led to the songs "Primo Victoria" and "Smoking Snakes"!
Yes! Thank you boys, cant wait for cliffs of gallipoli
Same! I have if set for my alarm in the morning
Aye
my great-grandfather was one of those who were sent to Italy! Cobras fumantes!
He came back from Italy?
I hope he returned safe and sound! Respect from Sweden.
@@magiccy3860 yes, fortunately the FEB did not have as many deaths as other divisions, it was one of those who were in the making of Monte Castelo
@@Handles-Suck-CZcams thank you, he died with his 89 years of age, I did not get to know him but my grandfather still tells the stories that my great-grandfather lived. thank you and all respect to the brothers of the swedish army!
@@anthonydavi5955 That's great to hear! Thank you in turn, my grandfather served in Congo '62-'63 and my family traces through at least 600 years of soldiery here in Sweden, so it means a lot to me!
I had never even heard this story before. Heard the song, of course, but had no idea what it was about. Very cool.
There you go! Thanks!
I have an idea on what those 3 did to impress the Germans.
Outnumbered and outgunned, out of ammo and still fighting. that is courage.
Vargas sent the soldiers, but never made them heroes. Wish their prowess were more recognized :(
They are the pride of Brazil, true heroes!!!!!!
Some curiosities: The FEB when they embarked to the front they didn't tell them were they were going.
As a revenge for the stole of our cachaça (alcoholic drink) some brazilians sneaked into the american camp and in the middle of the night they stole a tank.
As Getúlio was an dictator the disbanded the FEB when they still were in Italy because he feared that their victory over dictators would destroy his image or even start a revolution.
PS: the G in Getúlio is pronounced as J in Jack or Jordan
Oh, didn't know. thanks!
It is cachaça by the way.
The story about stoling a tank is bullshit
@@danielbrito3675 no, is real
An update for you dude! The story about the brazilians stealing an american tank is actually a lie. Historians studied many documents who would surely contain this occuring and they found nothing. They confirmed right after the simple reason for it to be a lie is the brazilian CO would be in deep shit for that. Better to know the truth!
Thanks for this vídeo. I'm 44 years old. Brazilian for birth and oficial of Brazilian army. In 2002 move out tô US to learn English and work tô pay the college. So, i was delivering pizza for a army recrutation and i told the recruter that i was a Brazilian army officer. He asked me tô aply. I did. I was chosen and i served US army as a soldier.
"Aqui jaz um herói da FEB.
Deus sabe seu nome" these are the words written in FEB memorial
"Here rests a FEB hero
God knows your name"
Sent overseas, to be cast into fire!
Fought for a purpose, with pride and desire!
Blood of the brave, they would give to inspire!
Cobras Fumantes, your memory lives!
"Cobras Fumantes eterna é sua vitória!" Thank you Sabaton for this awesome song and honoring the memory of the FEB!
You're very welcome!
As a Brazilian, I feel honored! Thank you for this marvelous piece of art!
todos nós, amigo
Brasil, tenho orgulho de vocês como Português, nós eramos um Império antigamente, hoje em dia voçês são quem podem continuar o grande Império Luso Português!

Well I got history 4th period and we’re in WW2
Oh well guess it’s never too early to learn especially about the lesser known parts
Do yourself a favor, bing watch history videos on CZcams instead if you had a previous history class that taught you WW2, cause you're probably gonna repeat a lot of stuff.
You're lucky, Galaxy. I wish Sabaton had been around when I was in school. lol
Doubt you'll learn anything that involves these three heroes. Before sabaton and a subsequent binging of history videos, I barely knew anything about the Italian front, much less that Brazil was involved
10:36 - 10:52 I completely agree. To lay down your life for those you don't know, maybe never even met or seen, is the pinnacle of love and of what humanity is truly capable of.
I have one correction about the history portion of this video: the expression "quando uma cobra fuma" ("when a snake smokes [tobacco]") in Brazilian Portuguese, as an equivalent to "when pigs fly", predates even the Vargas Administration, which used it to refer to how unlikely it was for Brazil to ever enter WWII because nobody in Brazil had any interest in getting involved with that hot mess. When that changed with the German U-boat attacks on Brazilian merchant ships the smoking snake was promptly adopted as the FEB's insignia because if there is one thing all Brazilians have in ample supply is a sense of humor. The expression also ended up changing from describing an impossibility to describing a certainty.
On a funny side note: there is another expression in Brazilian Portuguese for something unlikely, "nem que a vaca tosse" ("not even if the cow coughs"), that had it been used instead by the Vargas administration to describe their desire to remain neutral during the war this song would instead have been called "Coughing Cows".
I personally think Smoking Snakes is a much better name :)
"É mais fácil uma cobra fumer do que o Brasil entrar na guerra" and "nem que a vaca tussa".
Congratulations. My grandfather was fight in Montese and Fornovo di Taro, Italy. Brazilian Army. Cobras Fumantes!!!
"For the Brazilian, German is soup".

Might we see Wolfpack or Back in Control in the future? Some naval combat sounds great! Love your channel, keep it up!
Or midway.
Wolfpack would be good, but it won't happen, since it depicts an Axis victory, and certain individuals would be triggered beyond control...
We have a naval episode coming up quite soon
@@SabatonHistory Yes! :D
Sabaton History Yay
"the forgotten tale" part is very true, nobody speaks of smoking snakes nowadays, much less these 3 heroes.
I was in the last Sabaton show in São Paulo and, man, this song is SO powerful and important for us, thank you so much for keep our history alive!

"you will see that a son of yours does not run from the fight"

heck yeah! we true Brazilians might have lost in 2018 and suffered from that, but in 2022 we got Brazil back!
@@strogonoffcore Yes we got back the most criminals in power again...
Só uma correção: os três heróis não eram de Juiz de fora, eram de São João del Rei - MG. Inclusive, no batalhão daqui (11 BI Mth - que deu início à tomada de Montese) tem um monumento em homenagem aos três.
Eu sabia qur tinha ease monument so nao sabia aonde...
Indy: tries to speak portuguese
Portuguese and brazilian people: he a little confused, but he got the spirit
I'd like to hear about the history about inmate 4859.
My grand grandfather was in the navy at African coast. He was MIA for months, his boat was targeted by a uboat, engine destroyed. From 15 crew members only 7 survived, many killed during the attack, others by suicide after. When he returned my grand grandmother was mourning him for a month.
And the best part: he told me that when I was a child sitting in his lap eating Cocoa seeds and sugarcane.
Miss you vô.
WE REMEMBER NO SURRENDER HEROES OF OUR CENTURY I love this song it's in my top 5 favorite sabaton songs
I'm from rio de janeiro brazil and I'm very proud of the pracinhas! I live near by their statues! Thank you very much Sabaton History Channel, the most requested one because is your best song!
I recall asking my history teacher about Brazil’s involvement in ww2, his answer was “they made it a shorter distance to North Africa, that’s about it” years later, Sabaton answered the question so much better.
LOL
I'm from the city these 3 men came from.It's wonderful to see what their strength and resistance has led them into and also to see they have a music just like the grorified Swiss Guard about that battle against german people.As a sanjoanense, these personalities, beyond Tiradentes, Padre José Maria Xavier and Tancredo Neves, are one of our biggest prides.
I love the Military Forces.
Catholic, brazilian and military pride here!!!
My Grand-Father once told me a Story about my Great-Grand-Father. During World War II he was an Luxembourgish Tramcar Driver in Luxembourg. He was driving from Esch-sur-Alzette to Belgium, Arlon. One night there were 3 Bloodied people who couldnt speek German, Luxembourgish or Frensh entering his Tramcar at night. He immediately told them to stay close to his cabin with his hands, since he thought they must be foreign soldiers. They complied an he drove of. On the Border to Belgium the SS controled every vehicle who passed so my Great-Grand-Father waited till they borded the Tramcar. After they boarded he manipulated the Tramcar to cause an electrical discharge to cause the electricity to fail and the lights to go out on the whole station and showed the 3 soldiers a way out and just whisperd to them "run". Aperently they were able to return to an allied army whitout beieng captured, and my grandfather said that he thinks that they were shot down pilots.
Your Great Grandfather was a honorable guy!
Thats a great story!
I'm a Brazilian fan of Nightwish, Floor Jansen is a Talent Tsunami. And she's married to the drummer from Sabaton, and he's the luckiest man in the world. He is just the father of the “child of light”. That said, I feel honored that you guys made a song about our BEF.
I served our Army in 1987, we treat our veterans who fought in Italy with the utmost respect.
The history that we were told by those veterans is the US Army always thought that Brazilian soldiers were crazy, due to their courage to fight the enemy even when the odds were against them. Thank you for the song, your lyric is beautiful.
A last remark, pay attention to my name.
Even the police corps orchestra from my city recorded this music. That's how deep it went here. People who never knew heavy metal know Sabaton because of this music. And say what you will from us, but this people is quite warm, and you guys will always feel the warmth of the people who love you.
There are many cool stories about the FEB. A platoon made entirely of Indians managed to run over a fortified German position who ran and even left their flag. The captured nazi flag is proudly shown on a museum in Rio. You won't hear about further actions because once the Gothic Belt was down and Germany was opened trough the alps, the Americans went and the FEB stayed to keep the peace and order in Northern Italy where to this day they are called "Liberatori", liberators.
Messages like these are so inspiring to us. Thanks a lot for writing Eduardo.
Estou esperando esse vídeo já faz tempo.
Been waiting a while for this video.
I hope the wait was worth it!

I’m from Brazil, and I learned about the Brazilian Expedictionary Force from Sabaton! Thank you Sabaton!🇧🇷🇧🇷🐍
I am a Brazilian History teacher and I need to say: I use your songs so much!
Thank you so much for that! It really means a lot 🙂
Em nome do Brasil, muito obrigado pela lembrança e homenagem. A grande maioria dos brasileiros não sabe nada sobre isso, infelizmente!
Verdade.
It is a beautiful story of courage and bravery of the three heroes🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much ♥️
Greetings from Slovakia 🇸🇰🔥❤️
Although I do not understand English but I am glad you are doing such videos for us fans❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🎸
i was at the show in juiz de fora
my father was also a FEB veteran, and i tried to bring him as well to see the show, but he was already too sick to travel(he later pass away 8 months after the show), it was a very emotional moment for me, i cried a lot to be honest hahaha
i just wanna say, Thank you!
12:18 Indy should visit this museum! Highly recommend it, best regards from Curitiba!!
This is great guys!!! Amazing video
Thanks Luiz!

Smoking Snakes became a marching song here in Brazil. I graduated as Sergeant of the Military Police of Santa Catarina yesterday. In my parade the band played this song. It was a very unique moment for me and one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you so much for composing it. 🐍🚬
#sad found this band earlier this year and i could've gone to the concert in curitiba if i only knew... I was there on a family trip..
I will wait for counterstrike even if its the last thing I ever do
Love Counterstrike, an episode on it would be great.
I remember sending those guys as expeditionary forces before... Brave men they were
oh hi mr president!
Im brazillian military from Army, and I sure u, this is probaly one of the greatest FEB history vídeo I ever seen. Thank you for this content ! I love ur songs
Although Juiz de Fora is the city of the three heroes, Curitiba is the capital of WW2 history in Brazil. It’s where the FEB museum is located and it’s the city of some heroes as well, like Sargent Max Wolff Filho who died in Italy during a patrol, Pierre Clostermann, a distinguished pilot and even a German flying ace called Egon Albrecth.
Waiting for you guys to do The Last Battle and Primo Victoria. Especially the last one. After all, the entire reason I am now a fan of Sabaton is because I found the cover Van Canto did of Primo Victoria. So please, don't make me wait too long to enjoy the history behind two of my favorites!
Same thing here, I started listening to Sabaton after this cover by Van Canto :)
Wow, I travel often to Brasil and I didnt know this. So interesting story. So brave guys 👍
My great uncle was also a FEB veteran who managed to survive and came back to the country to tell stories. Sadly, he died of diabetes when I was a kid in school. I'm so happy that you guys created an epic song about it :)
Thank you Rodrigo for sharing this story with us. We really appreciate it 🙂
I'm ex-military from the Brazilian Army and the FFL. Great video. My late dad served on the 11th Infantry Regiment in Italy with the BEF. Thank you for that. Keep up the good work!
Ok.. I kwon that this may not be the right channel to do this, but I'm searching informations about a relative of mine (Caselli) that served with your father in the F.E.B. Can you give me some help? And, thank you Sabaton and Indy Neidells to let me kwon the real liberators of Camaiore! 👍👍
@@paolocaselli7274 sure. Do you have his full name or unit?
@@agronopoulus- I'-m sorry, but I don't his full name or unit's number. But I know that he was a Sergeant and he was in Camaiore in the days around the liberation of the city (19-ix-1944) and he was wounded in an engagement near Fucecchio some time later. But, I think that he was very proud to fight along Serchio's River because he came from a village of that area (Vinchiana). And, I thank you for any further help you can give me.
@@paolocaselli7274 I'll try to help you. Could we schedule a chat?
@@agronopoulus Yes. It is a good idea.

A good hero to make a song about is general Antonio Luna, was one of the few competent generals through out Filipino history
Never in my life did I think that a metal song could be turned into an orchestra song. And that is pretty badass, keep it up guys I always look forward to your updates. If anything I'm curious which one you will do next.
Thank you! Our people need to know more about them.
We would love to see more songs about Brazil. Maybe about the Paraguay War?
Não sei se vice conhece,mas tem uma banda brasileira tipo a Sabaton,que faz músicas sobre a história do Brasil apenas,chama "Armahda"
@@Monerdon obrigado
Guerra do Paraguai foi triste, Solano foi irresponsável ao deixar seu povo morrer em vão. Mas não posso culpar Pedro por ter persistido na guerra, ele realmente amava sua nação e não permitiria que o homem que matou brasileiros inocentes saísse impune.
Obrigado por lembrar dos nossos 3 heróis ! 🙏
De nada :)
The first Brazilian Air Force fighter group (Senta a Pua !) also did very well in Italy, having even received the American Presidential Unit Citation medal!
Most military bands; traditional band instruments
Brazilian military band; bass guitars
quando servi ,fizemos um tributo no monumento dos mortos da segunda guerra. representamos a artilharia da feb muito emocionante !!! essa musica me faz lembrar dos momentos que passei e tento imaginar o que eles passaram la no campo de batalha. afinal o brasil foi heroico, mesmo sem recursos , é uma pena que tenha pessoas que tentam diminuir o valor destes feitos...
I have been waiting for this, thanks Indy and Sabaton!
"COBRAS FUMANTES, ETERNA É SUA VITÓRIA!"
btw, that Portuguese at 5:28... Nailed it.
I'm Brazilian and my grandfather was an army nurse during ww2. He passed away before I could meet him but seeing this brazilian veteran and hearing this song reminded me of him and made me cry with the memory. Thank u soo much for making this song and this amazing research.
You are very welcome. Its important to keep the memory of these great men alive together. Thanks for the kind words!
10:52 this one struck home !
Wonderful explaination of their story, and great facts about the song, once again! May we never forget these brave Brazilian soldiers...
This channel was like a dream come true, with Sabaton music and Indy explaining the songs more in depth. I can't wait for the next video! \m/
Thank you very much!! We love making them as well. Next one will be quite cool.
@@SabatonHistory I have no doubts about that! 👍
*sweats in almost fascist argentinean*
Jokes aside never forget this brazilian heroes, making whole south america proud of them
I'm Brazilian, and I'm so happy Sabaton made this song, as if not for it I'd not even know about the three heroes. I was in the concert in Belo Horizonte in 2016. I hope you guys come here again soon!
I live in a small town in the mountains, nearby Rio de janeiro. There's a monument here for two city natives soldiers who died in Italy during the WWII. Eight guys from my town fought in Italy, one was my grandpa's brother, and he survive, but never talk about. Thank's for this amazing song.
You're welcome!
Brazilians sent to fight in the mountains, during the winter.
I'm sure they were not pleased.
not at all, first time they see snow, epic
This may not be very accurate...
Gaúchos know how to fight in harsh winter and snow is not so uncommon to us.
Amazing job on the channel, every week you grant us great music and awesome history.
This one is special for me because I'm brazilian, and unfortunately I've heard more about these 3 heroes from you than from our history books.
Thank you, Sabaton History!!
Excellent video!
I was in the army until 1997, I had the honor of meeting some veterans and hearing their stories during my time in service, they went to an unknown country, fighting in the snow (which we Brazilians only know about in movies), they fought and bled with honor, those who returned said that the real heroes were those buried in Italy, those who remained alive were just lucky
It's a shame that here in our country they are little celebrated
My great-grandfather was in the same battalion as they were. He was a Morse code translator but after a while he went to the front line due to the lack of men, without even knowing how to shoot. He survived to tell his story, and died in 2005, he had several physical and mental scars, but my greatest pride is to be able to tell his story and pass on his bravery ... I hope one day I can be the heir to the medal he received in his return
Thank you Sabaton for remembering them and my granddads batallion!
For heroes like him we make songs
12:05 and here i thought they could have translated the language of the birds
(Extra points if ya get the refrence)
So happy to see this episode and i am even more happy to know it was one of the most requested ones on the channel. feeling very proud right now.
Thank you for this, my Dad was part of the Expeditionary Unit, and I’m the youngest of the family, and I’ve never really heard the stories of the war, and I’m so glad I came across this video, it helps me understand my father’s past and the struggles he went through.
Thank you 🙏
For heroes like him we create songs.
The old veteran in the crowd at 13:45 is the best
