Resist and bite is a surprisingly underrated gem in their line up, also love Primo Victoria, Panzer battalion, screaming eagles, final solution, no bullets fly, inmate 4859, and so many more, they cover so many conflicts and are always respectful to all sides. One song that truly encapsulates their pledge to never glorify war is the song: lifetime at war, it has a very somber tone and really hits home the tragedy that is warfare

40:1 Is about the battle of Wizna and is also known as the Polish Thermopylae. Where 720 Polish soldiers, many recruited the month before, held off an army of 42,000 Germans for three days before being overrun. According to wikipedia of the 720 soldiers around 15 escaped about the same number were captured and the rest were killed. The captian killed himself with a grenade before he could be captured. Don't know if anyone else posted this but I thought it was amazing I had never heard of this battle before Sabaton

One of the more important information about the Bismarck is, that the Royal Navy pretty much sent an entire fleet after her. Royal Navy sent after her : 1 battleship 1 battlecruiser 2 heavy cruisers Did not participate in combat: 6 destroyers against the German Heavy Battle Cruiser Prinz Eugen and the Battleship Bismarck. They fired around 2800~ shells at her as of which 300 Hit her, and only 4 of those 300 managed to penetrate the ships deck and general Armor (most of the shells came from the King George V with her 5.25 Inch Main Guns) (I know im late, maybe someone cares !)

The Bismarcks weapon were so powerfull, when they fired it for the first time the shockwave of the weapons destroyed their own radar equipment

Bismarck was filmed for the video game "World of Warships". "40:1" is a favourite, but I love "Resist and Bite" and "The Last Stand". As a side note Sabaton's drummer is married to Floor Jensen from Nightwish.

One of the greatest things about Sabaton is that they transcend usual musical tastes. My wife is mostly into R&B, while I've always been a metalhead. However, she asked me on our first date if I liked Sabaton, and she's since introduced me to Rage of Light's music as well. First time I heard "Primo Victoria" by Sabaton, I was hooked. Grats, man.

Thanks for saluting those of us who served. We really do appreciate that stuff man. After knowing our former brothers and sisters were spit on because of the misunderstanding between civilian perception, and what we actually sign up for it’s a welcome thing to hear. Trust that we understand your hatred for what the governments do, but the vast majority do not sign up to just do the governments biddings. We really do sign up for the betterment of the country and the world, but when we get in we see that we are powerless to make the changes we want to see. It’s just follow orders, or be punished from that point on. Those who have served understand the hate the civilian population have for the government which they carry on towards the military because they think we are just brainwashed zombies doing the governments biddings. Trust me we are far from that. Cheers my brother.

Just saying thank you, and your words about veterans did not go unnoticed. Thank you.

Everything Sabaton makes music about is true. THAT is what blows my mind -- even from a historical perspective.

The Bismarck was a powerful and terrifying ship. Story has it that the Bismarck opened fire on the RMS Hood from 15 Miles away. RMS Hood exploded into pieces and sank to the bottom. People speculate that the shell that hit RMS Hood hit the Ammo Magazine and that it could only have came from the Bismarck. If I recall Churchill mobilized every ship in the British Royal Navy to find and sink the Bismarck after it sunk the RMS Hood. Johnny Horton also has an old time song called "Sink The Bismarck" that tells a little more than Sabaton's version does.

A lot of the video was reenactment of the battle of Wizna. The video was made with the help of a descendant of the captain mentioned in the song. Referring to 40:1 by the way

Those reaction were amazing, and I have to point out something, it's rare to see people enjoying alot of different music style this much, and it's very cool !

What I love about sabaton's Joakim; he a metal singer, but he got vocals y'know he's a brilliant singer!

Yes, loving history is what turned me to Sabaton when I listened to the song "The Last Stand". I converted my Dad later on. Lol! He's been in the Navy here in the USA for 6 years back in the day. He'd be able to tell you a lot about being on a ship.

This song is one of my favorites! I absolutely love Sabaton. And thank you for your reaction to their musicvideo :)

Don't you realize that the boat captain that was on the vessel that Sabaton was on was the sailor that was rescued from the Bismarck. The compass.

There is a video of 40:1 live at an outdoor festival in Poland and during the song a massive flag comes out and covers the crowd. Everyone is under it making it move. It looked epic, and must have been awesome to be there. You should check it out on your own sometime.

i have listened to so much metal that they don't bring me back to life... they make me sleep well... wherever i am...

I have taken a tour of the USS Turner Joy, a 1950s era destroyer that now serves as a museum ship. A puny thing compared to the larger battleships but even such a "modest" warship was positively daunting in its size and complexity. Steel so thick it feels like you're knocking on stone. It felt unshakable, its hull impenetrable. But a beast like Bismarck could have turned it to twisted slag in a single volley. Awesome.

I love Sabaton!! Glad you reacted to these, they're great songs! Honestly everything else they do is phenomenal, anything anyone suggests to react to is a must, lol!

devil dogs talks about the us marines in ww1 good song …. sabaton history channel breaks down the history of the song

Other than their badass songs, Sabaton has also teamed up with a historian and made a youtube channel called Sabaton History, where once per week they cover the actual history behind one of their songs. Check it out sometime, it's pretty awesome.

The movie a bridge too far is a good classic. Also the video bismarck was made in colaboration of the game world of warships. Keep the vids up!

in my Village died the last person that was from the Hellenic side in the war beetween Hellas and Italy from the song coat of arms

I would suggest checking out their song Screaming Eagles, it's about the 101st Airborne in the Battle of the Bulge, and how they were completely surrounded by the Nazis in the French town of Bastogne.

If you want to tour a US WWII battleship, the USS North Carolina in Wilmington, NC is a great ship to tour. She was in the Pacific theater during WWII, sustained a torpedo hit at Guadalcanal, was repaired and returned to duty.

My grandparents and I took a trip to see the USS North Carolina. I saw that beauty of a ship and bout cried man. Everything is absolutely huge and its unbelievable something that size floats and fought in battles and made it home. We also took a trip to see the USS Yorktown which is an aircraft carrier. Its honestly amazing just how big these things are and how they act as miniature cities. Respect to all our armed forces and to anyone fallen soldier.

I have tored the uss Alabama in Mobile bay and toured the uss Forristal when my brother was stationed there when he was in the Navy. Thak you for your service to all our men and women in the armed forces!!!

The two ships Bismarck fought first were HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Wales. The carrier launching the Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Bombers was the HMS Ark Royal, her 818th Squadron.

I have been on a cruiser once before, and the ship i was one had 6 gun batteries. Each battery had 3 cannons, and each cannon barrel had an inner diameter of alteast 30 inches wide. they said that whenever a full broadside was fired that they could feel the ship shift 50 yards sideways from the sheer recoil of the guns. Ships like the Bismarck are insanely powerful.

Several thing, so grab some popcorn for this novel- If you want some war history stuff, look up The Battle off Samar. It was a naval battle between Japan and America in WWII and one of the most one-sided match ups in history. The US had 3 destroyers, 4 destroyer escorts (think destroyer but smaller) and 6 escort carriers (tiny carriers made for light support) and the Japanese had 4 battleships, 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, and 11 destroyers. Japan also had the Yamato, the largest battleship ever constructed which outweighed Taffy-3 by itself. Japan should have brought more ships... they lost. The documentaries are about an hour long, so you might not want to do a full reaction. Although this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hamHxpeNlqm1es4.html is a summary of sorts by Potential History. A fun quote that was said by an American sailor during the battle while their ship was held together by tape was "just wait a little longer, boys, we're suckering them into 40-mm range" Another thing I can recommend would just be anything about the USS Enterprise CV-6. She was known as "The Grey Ghost" because she would not die. For a time, she was the only US carrier in the Pacific, prompting the sailors to post the sign "Enterprise vs Japan" on her deck. As for Sabaton, this is going to be fun: Panzerkampf- Largest tank battle in history, USSR vs Nazi-Germany Midway- About the battle of Midway Wolfpack- German submarines vs a convoy Resist and Bite- 40 Belgium soldiers vs Germany Hearts of Iron- German Soldiers evacuate civilians from the Russians Rorkes Drift- About 150 British vs 5000 Zulu warriors Firestorm- Bombers in general Counterstrike- The Six-Day War Shiroyama- The final battle of the Samurai Night Witches- Soviet all female bomber regiment White Death- The deadliest sniper in history, 500+ kills in 100 days The Price of a Mile- WWI, asking the question of how much is a mile of ground worth Cliffs of Gallipoli- The lyrics "Only boys who lost their lives in the sand" make it stand out to me To Hell and Back- Audie Murphy, most decorated US soldier in history and his struggle with PTSD Wehrmacht- About the German war machine Rise of Evil- Hitler's rise to power Attero Dominatus- The Battle of Berlin Back in Control- Battle of the Falkland Islands Nuclear Attack- The nuclear strikes on Japan Carolus Rex- King of Sweden who ruled a good chunk of Europe If you want a song, I can provide a link to either a lyric video or music video.

Don't forget; *Carolean's Prayer* - The faith that the Swedish Soldiers had in their King, Carolus Rex *The Lost Battalion* - The Liberty Division, trapped behind enemy lines during WW1. Bombarded by both their foes and allies (by mistake), their supplies dropped on their foes, as well. *The Red Baron* - Manfred von Richthofen. One of the absolute greatest pilots of all time. In total, he shot down 80 Allied Aircraft before his death, in which he was treated with great respect. *The Last Stand* - Swiss Guards, during the Sacking of The Holy See/The Vatican, holding off an army of thousands as just under 200 soldiers. Because of their sacrifice, there is still a Swiss Guard at the Vatican, dressed and armed precisely like those that came before them. *Winged Hussars* - Polish Heavy Cavalry, whom, with their King at the helm, in one great charge, finally helped to free Vienna from the Ottoman Empire, preventing Europe from being conquered. Often marked as the downturn point in the Empire's history, leading to its eventual collapse. *No Bullets Fly* - The odd encounter of a German flying Ace in WW2 and an American Bomber crew whom he chose to spare. The pilot later met one of the men from that same bomber, in the early 2000s. Bloody fantastic thing to watch, honestly. *The Lion from the North* - Both a Swedish and English version. Both are brilliant. Fans can debate all they like on which is better. I like both. The song is, again, about Carolus Rex/King Karl, and his fight against Catholicism. *Primo Victoria* - The Normandy Landings, or D-Day.

They didn't find his remains until 1999; he was formally identified in 2003, and is now buried at Arlington National Cemetery. And thank you. Your thoughts and respect are appreciated.

The Bismarck was a German battleship. One of the biggest in ww2. The allies put Killing that ship as a #1 priority. They threw everything at finding, and sinking it. Battleships were expensive and we're rarely used, but they we're good deterants at ports since the dam things were hard to sink. Plus losing one would be like loosing a carrier today. Japan made a bigger one called the Yamato.

Tickets for Sabaton and Hammerfall just went on sale yesterday. You should never miss an opportunity to see them. Besides just being awesome musicians, they're one of the most fun bands to see in concert also.

i usually dont like if people pause the video in reaction videos, but you actually tell intresting / entertaining stuff when you pause, great!

For the record, that's a 15in diamater shell from one of eight main guns. The projectile weighed 1764 lbs each with a muzzle velocity of over 2600 feet per second and a range over 20 miles so, imagine something half the weight of a car traveling 1/2 a mile per second slamming into your ship. This is what killed HMS Hood.

700.000ppl on one concert in Poland 2012!👍❤🇸🇪

I've been on the Missouri when it was in Bremerton Washington, it is the epitomi of a warship. I served on an aircraft carrier, the size of those you have to experiance to understand. I can still remember standing on the bow as the ship turned, it was as if the world was turning around you, not the ship turning.

Sabaton's drummer Hannes Van Dahl and Nightwish singer Floor Jansen got the baby early. Sabaton has produced a Dutch band and copied, Finnish heavy. And Floor wanted to leave and live in Finland.And this song told us about the Finnish vs. Russian war. The woeld thinnest books in Sweden, Denmark, Norway are their warriors. Just one page. 1,000 pages in Finland. The replica was at all.

The Bismarck is my fav WW2 german Battleship.

Tirpitz (Bismarks sister ship) was 9000 tons heavier and had 16 inch guns, Bismark had 15 inch guns. That's why Churchill wanted Tirpitz destroyed

Germans: Good engineers, but bad politicians.

Interesting fact: On 18 September 2016, it was announced, that Floor Jansen (of Nightwish) and her husband Hannes Van Dahl, drummer of Sabaton, were expecting their first child. On March 15, 2017, Jansen announced via Instagram that she gave birth to a baby girl, Freja.

"On a ship there's nowhere to run, you either win or swim" my dad told me this and I'll never forget it

Sink The Bismark, Battle of The River Platte, 2 excellent movies to watch. I can't stop listening to this song! Great reaction video!

Rise of evil, shiroyama, night witches, the last stand, pretty much anything you hear by sabaton is golden

the bismarck was the flagship of the kriegsmarine. only two ships were developed in the bismarck class, the bismarck and the tirpitz. the bismarck took on the two strongest ships in the british navy when those ships took the bismarck and its escort by surprise. the bismarck got away with slight damage to the fuel tanks, and both rudders jammed, sinking one of the ships and badly damaging the other. soon after, 2/3s of the british navy attacked it, hitting it with dozens of torpedo bombs and over 400 heavy shells from dedicated ship killing battleships, and despite the overwhelming odds, the bismarck toughed it out, sinking and damaging numerous ships, before the crew decided to scuttle it, because it was out of ammunition and was seriously damaged. its sister, the Tirpitz, didnt meet so nice a fate. when the british discovered it stuck in norwegian fjords, they immediately sent out a bomber wing and hit it with 4 "tall boy" bombs and 10 40 pound bunker busters, for a total of 5,200 pounds worth of explosives, the largest amount of explosives ever air dropped onto a naval vessel

Fun story about the concert they filmed this video during. Before the band played, the Cardinal (iirc) if the Polish Catholic Dioceses, presented the Band a Sword and gave them a Honorary (basically a title). The band had no idea why several guys from the polish state department and an old priest where even there. 40:1 is considered to be Military Anthem in Poland, much as the song Smoking Snakes has become in Brazil. Think about that, a band made a short song about an often forgotten battle, and it becomes a cultural icon to the people of that nation. It seems odd to most people, but there is something to remember about Poland. They weren’t just invaded by the Nazis. They where betrayed by the Allies, left in Soviet hands for decades. When I was born, Poland was still occupied and there was a polish resistance fighting to be free. Any Pol in their mid thirties today, was born in occupation. For them, the War started in 1939 but it didn’t end until they got their freedom back, near fifty years later.

fun fact, at the time the bismarck was finished in 1939, it was the biggest battleship of the world, first of its kind, at the time. with eight 380mm (14,961 inch (rounded up)) main caliber guns

The USS Iowa is in the port of Los Angeles San Pedro, CA and it’s a proper WWII battleship that saw service in that war, the Korean War, and Cold War. It was decommissioned and made into a museum for the pacific battle fleet I believe. The USS Missouri is a museum as well but I forget where. They are amazing to see and worth a visit. The USS Constitution “Old Ironsides” from the late 18th and early 19th century is still an active ship with sailors stationed on it largely to provide guided tours and it does go to sea for short trips yearly out of Boston harbor.

there is four battleships that have been turned into a museums. Depending on where you live at, you have Iowa located in LA, Missouri located in pearl harbor , new jersey located Camden/Philadelphia and north carolina located in Wilmington nc.

Sad Fact, That Ship Took Over 2000 Sailors With Her When She Sank Only 117 Of Her Crew Survived

Great reaction man! Sabaton is amazing, all (if I'm not mistaken) of their songs are about different wars, history, empires and such, makes a better historyteacher than any of mine ever was! They truly are one of a kind, I rate them in my top 10s out of bands from my country Sweden. If you're interested in more from them, check out Carolus Rex, Primo Victoria, The Final Solution, The Last Stand, To Hell and Back, Sparta, Ghost Division, En livstid i Krig. They have so, so many good songs, should be enough for a couple of vids ;)

Scope Sabaton's music video for "Stalingrad" if you want more of that bismark style of visuals

for the song Bismarck the naval warfare was all done by Wargaming using the models of the ships from their game world of battle ships. sabaton first worked with Wargaming with the song Promo Victoria, at the time Wargaming was focused on the game world of tanks. in world of that's you can even use the Sabaton tank from the video of Promo Victoria.

Sabaton has another channel were they have some one talk about the history behind their songs.

Lets get this on the mainstream radio!!!!! this is what should be heard!!!!

I took a tour of an aircraft carrier and there’s a reason they’re called floating cities

Sabaton makes the world proud of thier heroes in war 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

11:05 PREACH ON BRO!! You said it like no other and I salute you (I'm gonna buy a hat just so that I can tip it off for you, sir).

About your repeated and justified question, "how do you go on after experiencing the horror of war?", life goes on and the answer is surprisingly simple (and perhaps simplistic or, some might say, simpleton); you go on as best you can! PTSD, or "shell shock" as I prefer to call it, affects people in different ways, different people that is. Some recover enough to lead "normal" lives, some don't. ALL carry the wounds and they never heal 100% but many heal enough to carry on. Bismarck, the ship, was the embodiment of the saying "pride before the fall". Germany thought they could rule the waves, like the British had for 2-3 centuries before, just by building the best ship in the world. It takes more than just ships, it takes generations afloat in the seas to understand you cannot rule them, you can just sail while they permit you to do so. I have nothing but respect for the Poles as a nation and especially for the Polish soldiers. They were totally fearless in WW2, prime example the final assault on Monte Cassino in Italy, they paid the heaviest price in that battle but took the castle and ended the German resistence there. But my respect goes far longer than just that, it goes back to the Siege of Vienna by the Ottomans, when ALL of Europe was staring at the gaping maw of dehumanization (a.k.a. Ottoman occupation) and the Winged Hussars (another GREAT song by Sabaton, btw) arrived and saved the day, the city AND the continent! If the Battle of Marathon is considered the most important in the history of the British Empire (google it, it IS!), then the charge of the Polish Hussars must be the most significant moment in the history of modern Europe. I have little to say about "Coat of Arms", I am Greek and I can say they NAILED IT! thanks to them for making the songs and to you for your reactions. Keep it up!

18:52 That was a shell. Probably an Armor Piercing shell. Good for ships with heavy armor.

I just recently discovered this band myself and I'm hooked if you liked this try checking out "Feilds of Verdun" "To Hell and back" and "The lost battalion"

Speaking from personal experience, I've never served, I'm trying to enlist, but ive seen some graphic stuff here, you'll never unsee it, it haunts you for life, I see Emily every day.

I highly recommend the Band of Brothers tv series from HBO, each episode starts with an interview of the actual people it covers

When i listen to Sobaton 40:1 and Winged Hussars I'm proud to be Polish . Greetings from Poland!

Salvo is the simultaneous discharge of artillery or firearms including the firing of guns either to hit a target or to perform a salute. As a tactic in warfare, the intent is to cripple an enemy in one blow and prevent them from fighting back. Highly recommend also the song Red Baron !

It’s definitely worth doing a deep dive into the history behind their songs. 40:1 was about how Germany invaded Poland and outnumber them 40:1, other amazing stories are about inmate 4859. A decorated polish soldier who assumed the identity of a Jewish citizen to be captured and be taken to Aushwitz prison to get inside information, To hell and back, the Story of Audie Murphy - the most decorated infantry soldier from ww2 who lied about his age to join the army at 15. Plus many others

Anybody else notice that the captain of Sabatons boat is the kid who survived the sinking of the Bismarck?

bismarck is the goosebump song....

Finally you reacted to Sabaton =)

Back in 06' when I was an army cadet I got to do a tour of the HMCS Calgary (I think) while it was getting refitted at the navy base on Vancouver Island. It was the first time I was ever on a ship or boat that didn't feel like a ramshackle tin and wood box that could sink and kill all of us at any moment. You're right about how wild it is that they float. They're like steel skyscrapers laying flat in the water and forgetting to sink.
