Over 700 000 ppl were there. Flag was handled by volunteers and pulled on and off by the people there. After that song, everyone at once started singing the Polish Anthem.😎

Jestem wdzięczna Sabaton o szerzenie polskiej historii. Jak mało kto, zrobili to perfekcyjnie i skutecznie. Chwała im za to!!!

When the song was new Sabaton gave a concert in Poland where they were visited on stage by Poland's Arch-Bishop at the time, who complimented their work for preserving Polish history and gifted them a sword from the country's treasury.

SABATON na scenie! Making of Woodstock 2012, odc.19/20 tak rozwinęli flagę+hymn Polski

the flag was prepared by the organizers of the event and brought by a volunteer (their name was the Peaceful Patrol) who started to roam towards the audience during the song. After the 40: 1 piece was performed, the audience gathered from the Polish Anthem together SABATON Woodstock, FULL concert kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmaHzs-gps2uYs4.html

Hi! I was a volunteer on this festival. There are numbers of volunteers going through the audience to pull the flag. People are helping too.

I just watched the whole concert woodstock 2012 , and I can fully say that the fragments you saw are just a drop in the ocean of what happened there. If you have 2 hours of free time, I highly recommend watching the entire concert. if you decide, don't do it for the next reaction on this channel. Do it for your own pleasure because you will not regret even a minute of the concert. You'll wish you were there now. Greetings from Poland

WE ARE PR0UD NATION @!

ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FALLEN SOLDIER! they sacrificed their LIVES so we now can live as free people, can you pay a bigger price? No. My grandpa fought in Warsaw uprising, he survived, but I never met him because he died in the day I was born. My mother lost her first son, he lived 3 days, so she says my grandpa died so that I could live. I do not think my name will be known in the entire world, but I will change the world, just because I live. We all matter, we are the change, but we must fight and NEVER GIVE UP.

This flag is no problem to handle. We are well drilled in tifo.

Nice reaction man. Love from Polish man living in UK 🇬🇧

Hmm meyby next Sabaton - The Final Solution 🤔. Nice video

About woodstock man, You don't even know about Jurek Owsiak, whole woodstock thing is his child, He is and was always frontman of it, always on stage, screaming and cheering, talking and talking, after three days of festival his voice is... almost non existent but still He is there to cheer the crowd up, to say thank You, to san Watch out, to introduce bands... Bloody legend.

There was no machine, the flag was held by people from Pokojowy Patrol (Peace Patrol - volunteers helping with Woodstock Festival), and I have no idea how they managed to pull it back, probably first rows of people helped to do this :) being under it I only remember helping it move forward/backward :D

Your enthusiasm is a beautiful thing. Thanks for the video! (-:

Again, great reaction Thomas! And indeed, songs about war and battles have this patriotic and euphoric feel around them, like a lot of songs by Manowar, and the German band Sodom.

As a fan of metal music and military history from an early age, Sabaton are my perfect metal band with incredible music, subject material and a singer who is amazing. They are my favourite band who have even a military history channel wow what a great band. I love them and them not only remembering and teaching military history but also remembering those men and women who faught or did heroic things in their lives, but most importantly of all telling there stories and keeping their memories alive also teaching the younger generation. Sabaton are incredible and thank God for them. Sabaton are number one band with Rammstein number two. Keep up the great work mate from a fellow Brit.

It isn't unusual for bands to perform songs in a lower key than they were recorded in. It is typically to preserve the singers' voice.

Search the flag at Sabaton Woodstock 2012 at google images and see how tiny the flag looks when photographed from above. The crowd was endless and 500 000 people is the official number, unofficially it was more. I was somewhere there under the flag, I wasn't even a Sabaton fan, but this festival is one of my best memories ever.

I've also been curious as to why they play their live songs tuned down a step. Could be a voice preserver, idk.

Crazy pyro! I keep wondering who brought the marshmallows? Joakim's style of singing is ALL OUT!!! So his vocal chords could get strained if he doesn't take care. Wouldn't be surprised if they shifted things down a tad to make it a bit easier. Metal is HARD on singers! Yeah, Sabaton are BIG in Poland. Sabaton is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

It was 40:1 that MADE Sabaton big in Poland - they weren't until then, and it was a (now lost, thankyou KZread) fan video which went viral and made it happen. The battle of Wizna had been almost lost to Polish history, but Sabaton brought it to the fore, and it is now in Polish textbooks, which actually cite Sabaton. They now refer to it as Polskie Termopile - the Polish Thermopylӕ, and the commander, Captain Wladyslaw Raginis has been recognised as a national hero - he swore that he would hold the position as long as he lived, and when they ran out of ammunition and every single survivor was seriously wounded (including himself), he ordered the few remaining men to surrender their arms and then waited for the German forces himself, with a grenade held between his chin and neck and his head bowed. The actual ratio was something like 60:1 - 20 officers and 700 enlisted conscripts (although that was the listed/authorised strength, so may have not been up to complement - some say only 360 positions were filled), with 12 bunkers (6 heavy), 6 artillery pieces (75mm), 42 machine guns, 24 of them heavy, and two anti-tank rifles with 10 rounds for each, against 1,200 officers, 41,000 enlisted men, 350 tanks, 108 howitzers 58 other artillery pieces, 195 anti-tank guns, 108 mortars, 188 grenade launchers and 977 machine guns, 288 of which were heavy, and an unknown number of aircraft including fighters to strafe and Stukas dive-bombing. The battle was crucial in allowing many Polish forces to escape encirclement by the Wehrmacht. It is estimated that 70 Poles survived the battle, although this is uncertain owing to the lack of German records. The German General, Heinz Guderian, wrote in his diaries that 900 of his men were killed in action, in addition, at least ten tanks, and a number of other armoured fighting vehicles were lost. The official music video was filmed on the site of the battle and directed by a descendant of Captain Wladyslaw Raginis. The Sabaton history channel (which I strongly recommend) actually has two episodes about the battle and song, here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6SWmsmNg7C7ktI.html (their very first episode) and here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mW16zc6tnNGzYLA.html which also deals with the aftermath.

we repelled the war... I World War, II World War. In the meantime we resisted comunism... Believe me... stretch a Flag was easy. We are proud that we have the Flag!

Yo from Warsaw Poland

500000people by the stage mostly

I think most of the flag was really hard to hold on to, so they probably just had a couple of grips at the front of the stage who started pulling the flag in.
