My favorite line in this is “There’s a thunder in the east, it’s an attack of the deceased.” The reason Kriegers are so effective in war is that they’ve already accepted the fact they’re dead, and knowing either you’re already dead or will be soon means there’s no reason to be afraid, you’re just embracing the inevitable, and it might as well be now instead of later. The moral of the story is that if you fight every day like it’s your last day, you’ll never have a reason to be scared again. I hope this helps someone out there.

No one: Kriegers: It only cost us twenty to kill a traitor marine. That's more left to throw at the next one.

I remember the day my Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, asked me a question about the Kriegsman. It was a mundane question, one he could have even guessed the answer to. The question itself birthed a litany of other questions and a single teared statement. "Why do they wear the masks?" I turned my head to meet his eyes and I wondered at the question, he meant it literally, he didn't know what they were, rare that my Primarch would be ignorant of anything, especially history. "They are the Death Korps of Krieg, they always wear them, their homeworld has a toxic atmosphere." My Primarch nodded, I could still see in his expression that another curiosity lingered, and then he gave words to the emotion. "They never remove them? Why? This atmosphere isn't toxic." Instead of answering I shook my head at the ground, it was a tragic tale, gifting their history any thoughts would bring most to their knees, even Space Marines. "Kriegsman believe that their war, their duty, is everlasting. They think that they need to be ready to fulfill the Emperor's will at any moment. They're not so equipped for war as they are equipped for their own death, to slow their impending doom so they might give the Emperor more use, no matter how miniscule it is, they will give it gladly. It's how their entire planet is." His eyes tracked mine and maybe he saw my internal agony, I had weathered a thousand battles, but I had never relayed the history of Krieg, the history of their heresy. "Their entire planet, is like this? Grim, inhuman, emotionless... soulless? Why?" I wanted to refuse to answer his questions, but I couldn't. "The sons of Krieg are not as you say, not soulless, they live their lives for the Emperor. I once visited Krieg, the planet was a hellscape. A hellscape devoid of the Emperor's grace and beauty, it was a place where the Emperor's Peace would be refused by its populace, they would believe that their own lives were worth less than the mercy of death. Most of these soldiers are children, sons fighting so the war their father's waged might be forgiven." The words did not strike true with the Primarch, there were still questions unanswered, a history he did not understand. So I told him of the beginning, the treachery of Krieg's highlords. The resistance that sprouted from Colonel Jurten, his cry for help that went unheard into the darkness, and then his headlong charge into the jaws of death, his faith in the Emperor alone guiding him. I told him of the war, the brutal unyielding war that never ended. The generational trenches that spread across the entirety of Krieg, the dried ocens that turned into fields of lasgun fire and artillery barrages. The genetically enhanced beasts that carried faithful soldiers into the fray of the heaviest combat, equipped to die, never to survive. "Five hundred years, Krieg fought for five hundred years in unending war. Jurten's own forces were all dead before the end of the first decade but Krieg's sons and daughters bred a new army. An army that marched over the luscious fields that once existed and left war in their wake. They finally won the war after trillions had been killed, returned to the fold, and greeted the Imperium with heavy hearts." My heart was caught in my words, it was agonizing to relay it, to say the truth. "They believe that they are the arch traitors, the betrayers, the worst of heretics, that theirs is a lineage of the unfaithful, their blood is the blood of heathens. The people of Krieg believe it is their duty to atone, for eternity, for their crimes. They produce nothing, they build nothing, but they have their sons. The sons they throw away, because traitors deserve to die. Ever since they returned to the Imperium they have given everything away freely. To them every Krieger, every child soldier they send into the boiling heat of battle, deserves only death. When they die, they only see a number lost, equipment to scavenge, a heretic dead. They will continue to atone for crimes that weren't even their own, and they will do it without question, forever. They can never be forgiven, they *know* this is as a fact. Yet I have heard them in their dying breaths, all of them, begging for the Emperor's forgiveness." I felt the tears roll down my cheeks, the faith of the lowliest Kriegsman could test that of even the hardest Astartes, their souls beget only agony. "That's not true." My Primarch spoke, overcome with grief I had somehow forgotten his presence, turning to him in his pause I could see the only tear to ever be produced by Roboute Guilliman fall from his glistening eyes. "I know my Father's heart well, they were forgiven long ago. They achieved atonement, five hundred years of it."

So they end up killed by trying to out hero the Krieg too. Then there is the fact that Krieg aren't dumb, but will never order a full retreat and did on one occasion kill a Commissar for ordering a retreat. Catachan will kill Commissars for throwing their weight around too much. Cadians and First Born both have outright shot Commissars for trying to change orders their Generals have given.

They are one of the few allowed to do this because there has NEVER BEEN A REGIMENT OF KRIEG THAT HAS TURNED TRAITOR. Never. Not once. Ever.

It drops to 75% in the case of a world which breeds for a specific Genome, but even then it will still be a 3 to 1 failure to success rate. Cadia, Kreig and the other death worlds have undergone limited mutations to permit them to survive their worlds, which means that even Black Templar Gene-Seed (the most 'forgiving' of all) will have a 99% rejection rate. It is simply not cost effective to waste the limited Genetic material to attempt making an already dedicated killing machine into a marine.

The Death Korps of Krieg are literally the epitome of Warhammer. Not the legendary Astartes, or the forces of Chaos, or even the act of Exterminatus. It is the Death Korps of Krieg, literally a battalion of ordinary humans, so dedicated to the cause, that they will *WILLINGLY* charge into impossible odds. These guys aren’t even genetically modified in any way, they’re literally just us. And yet, unlike so many other Guardsmen regiments, they don’t falter. Even in scenarios that would leave other regiments crying for Astartes support, the Death Korps of Krieg don’t need Astartes support, because their dedication to the God-Emperor of Mankind makes themselves the only support they need to take on the forces of Chaos. The Death Korps of Krieg are in themselves, the most terrifying force in the Warhammer 40k universe.

Well, with Krieg around, space marines can be assured that they WILL do their job, regardles how suicidal. No matter how uninformed you leave them be. Despite how atrocious your orders may be to local population. Kriegsman will follow those orders. Without questioning, without delay and to the utmost effeciency. And that is why Space Marines like them. None of that whining of "Oh my lord, why do you want us to gas population of that city? Certainly the situation is not that bad". Soldiers of Krieg would at that point already be loading their cannons and bombers and the only question they would ask is if you want the city then glassed to the ground afterward.

I have extremely limited knowledge on warhammer. I’m really only here because I’m a fan of Sabaton. But after watching this I gotta say; Holy hell. That squad is one of the most hardcore things I’ve ever seen

I always felt that with the recent fervor of belief in the God Emperor, with the galaxy burning and crumbling all around them there is no time for doubt or despair, there can only be victory, victory or death. After a whole entrenched army of Imperial Guard fall under siege by the sudden appearance of Plague Marines, by ugly Nurgle warbands of Chaos. The Initiative lost by an barrage of warp-influenced gas weaponry blinding the defenders. Their gasmasks on the fronts and the ventilation in the fortifications fail. All soldiers are doomed, they fall and drown in the liquids of their former lungs. Skin melt, plaststeel and buttons rust and pretty uniforms colors lost. Another world falls, and one closer step to the fall of Terra itself. But they do not die, no, they are granted a gift, a touch from Nurgle. But they refuse. The temptation bites, the call of Chaos, their destined souls to be snuffed out, they stubbornly refuse. Instead they rise once again their lasguns in the direction of the foe and carry on fighting, eyes alight with a burning vengeful shine as their duty only ends with the death to the enemies of the Imperium of Man and the God Emperor. Their zeal is so strong, every damned soldier fights on till their last undying breath. One by one they can only be put down by the ugly festering hands that sought to corrupt them, an easy victory against these pitiful Guardsmen. With the sworn enemy stuck with ridding themselves their own bewitched creations of the undying Guard that somehow refused the touch, the rest of the planets Loyalist regiments get the crucial time to recover from the surprise attack, bolster defenses and redraw the lines on the maps. Close in and encircle and reorganize, finally rallying and decisively charging to the lost sector to gain back their lost, both land and comrades. The dumbfound legion of the rotting God is slowly pushed back, stuck in the front by their own marching apparitions, taking blows from the sides by cunning Leman Russ crews flanked by the flashlights of Chimeras providing support, and hammered from above by pre-ranged artillery strikes. The tide of battle turns, forcing the rotting enemy to turn tail and fall back. And the undying Guardsmen? They fall, at ease, at peace, the influence of the God of rot leaving the battlefield and their broken bodies. With their duty fulfilled they die in their posts and boots, they die in glory.

@@josephcola9662 Battle of Hespher II. The Death Korps Of Krieg and the Voltern Cuirrassiers aided a Salamanders Company under Shoen'lo, but the Captain clashed with the Death Korps on how to deal with the insurgency. Shoen'lo desired punishment and repatriation for all those separatists that could be shown the error of their ways, but the Death Korps had no interest in this. They instead used their firepower to brutally crush the insurgency, but matters came to a head when they destroyed a hab-complex, Shoen'lo was in the middle of clearing separatists from. While the Captain and his Company emerged unscathed from the hab-complex's rubble, Shoen'lo immediately went to confront the Death Korps' commander about the attack. When the Captain later departed, Voltern onlookers bore witness to a sight they had never thought to see - genuine terror amongst the Krieg's officers. Afterwards, the remainder of the campaign to end the insurgency, was done according to the Salamanders' strategic stipulations. However after the separatists are defeated, the Krieg and Shoen'lo's Company parted on mutually frosty terms.

The death korps of krieg and Nurgle's children are a funny set of mistakes and misunderstandings. That I love. One is gap more of super seriousness of overarching because of some tragic tramtic past bullshit that is not their fault but still the honorably claim responsibility for it and strive to prove themselves. And the other is literally a walking plague of death that sees the world as a child's wonder but like children are woefully ignorant of worldly problems and are hurt directly by it and made into monster by it.

For those unfamiliar w/ the significance of what's going on (Unlikely, considering you're on a 40K vid, but I digress) the Death Korps of Krieg are genuinely a disturbing force even amongst the backdrop of the 40th millenia of Human History. During the Horus Heresy (wherein nearly half of all humanity's armed forces broke away and went rogue in service to dark gods) their world didn't answer the call to aid Earth (Terra in 40K's setting) as they were embroiled in a civil war so severe they basically engulfed their world in nuclear fire to exterminate the dissidents. Despite this, the loyalists were partially chastised and equally felt so disheartened that they couldn't answer in humanity's most dire hour that the Death Korps were formed. Every family is expected to give up their first-born in service to the Imperium's military, if you can't have kids (Which many can't), you will be cloned. The technology to do so is heretical to the nth degree but the level of devotion this planet has given to the imperium is just so jaw-droppingly terrifying that it is allowed. It is considered entirely normal for the Death Korps to be wiped out to the last man or at the very least 90% losses due to them fixing bayonets and charging WW1 western front style into the enemy's defenses or just having absolutely 0 self-preservation. It says a great deal about the Death Korps of Krieg that Commissars attached to them, who in any other regiment would execute traitors and cowards have to deliberately threaten and cajole their wards NOT to throw their lives away in suicidal death charges.

Small correction. The "every family gives their firstborn" is about Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment. Entirely different planet and tradition Krieg conscripts litteraly every male who can be spared. If your skills are not usefull enough on Krieg itself, you get recruited. Females are left covering all kind of job positions (from menial factory work to highest levels of governence) including raising kids (if you are lucky that your father is skilled enough to remain on Krieg, you may even grow up having both mom and dad). About Death Korps of Krieg itself, over several novels, authors inclined to two views on them. One is the one you mentioned. Kriegs soldiers are almost inhuman. Do not even have use names anymore. They identify each other by their military given ID number and they completely lack self-preservation as long as they can deal damage to enemies of Imperium. Commisars here are there to stop them from wasting their lives too cheaply. But in other novels you can encounter second view - Where Kriegs soldiers are humane. They have their names which they use. They do not want to die. They do not mind going into dangerous fights, but they will keep looking for ways to survive. Small insubordinations are present as long as they are harmless to their cause. All this is underlined by brutal devotion to Imperium. If you are enemy of Imperium, there is nothing they would not do to you. Geneva convention? Not even Geneva suggestions to them. Main job of Commisars in their ranks is to facciliate comunication and cooperation with other non-Krieg regiments deployed around them, because having to deal with Kriegs regiment without any buffer like that leads to decreased morale of everyone else around :-D

@@KePzez Not exactly. As I talked about those two views that different authors have on them, in the first one they do not care about surviving. If they get order to charge straight into MG nest, they will do it without questioning or taking any cover. Even while fully knowing that they will die 100% doing that.. Their loyalty and subordination is to the max. They do not question their own value to imperium. For they know that due to acts of their ancestors, they have no value. Then the second view is where they are thinking, feeling and talking humans that desire to live. Still completely loyal and extremely disciplined, but if they would get order to charge enemy, they would look up first the safest route to do that, and they would interpret that order not as just blindly charging, but as command to destroy them. It is this second view where they go with idea that to earn forgiveness from Emperor they not only need to follow orders obediently, but that they also need to do that for as long as possible.
