I don't know if there is anything considered ok wreaking havoc. And yet it happens all the time. Just look at Ukraine right now. I like to think of myself as a peaceful person so I guess havoc is not really for me. On the other hand sometimes you just get anything done if you don't push through sometimes in a aggressive way. But I do believe you should be considered in every aspect of life, at least in peaceful times. Life is such a grey area, that there a probably always situations where you have to be reckless and "wreaking havoc ". I just never want to be in these situations

Correlation, rather than causation. The Stoßtruppentaktik was the nucleus that even the modern German army draws from. Because it draws on two simple principles: Be faster than the enemy to push your agenda onto him and human psychology. If your HQ gets hit and then the enemy is already somewhere else, everyone except the most battle hardened soldier gets nerves. I'd have to look up the video, but there was a report about a NATO exercise in Denmark (or Norway), where the Brits had get to a bridge and defend it. But when they arrived the Germans had already taken it and the scenario had to be reset. Later that day a Dane (or Norwegian) asked the Germans if they were always this fast. The answer was "No -- usually we're faster".

The central premise of the Stormtroopers' tactics, speed coupled with overwhelming violence and catching the enemy completely off guard, are still central to modern special forces' mentality, with mantras like 'Speed, Aggression, Surprise' favoured by the SAS for obvious acronym-friendly reasons, and 'Speed, surprise and violence of action' by the US Army Rangers (I believe).

Death korps of krieg

One of my two favorite tracks from *The War to End All Wars*, so glad that it finally got a Sabaton History video

Stormtroopers is one of my favorite Sabaton songs.

During an attack, the infantry could only carry their personal weapons while the defenders had the advantage of their heavy weapons like machine guns. The stormtroopers were sappers who infiltrated The enemy lines and carried heavy weapons into the battle area between the enemy trenches to use during a forthcoming attack. Since naturally it required a great deal of physical strength and endurance to haul such heavy equipment they recruited only their most physically fit and bravest men for the job.

Still waiting for Sabaton history for Pasadena 1994

It's awesome to see historical representation of Germanic history that focuses on something other than WWII. It seems too often these days for people to only talk about that one terrible part of the Germanic people rather than anything good or interesting being done by them. Massive kudos to Sabaton for really caring about history and for trying to show how dynamic and nuanced history actually is.

Stormtroopers is my favourite song of all time! Have been wainting for so long for these video! History and Metal forever! 🤘🏻🎖🏴‍☠️

@@mitchellsmith4690 Funny enough when the German General staff began to review their tactics of WW1 they acknowledged that their Stormtrooper concept was sound and began to implement it on a wider scale. The early Blitzkrieg tactics are in essence the Stormtrooper concept with tanks: locate a weakpoint in the enemy line, break it and then sow chaos among your opponent and don't let them catch their breath. And also worth of note: the Commando tactics used in the Stormtroops was kept: give the officer of a battalion an order but let him deal with it as he sees fit. Which often led to officers like Rommel to lead from the front even after he was promoted to General. There are stories from German tankers that Rommel drove by their tanks in his scout car and bashed on their tank with a wrench to push them onwards.

Incredible job!

Stormtroopers is one of my favourite songs. It's crazy to think it was almost scrapped. I wonder how many other bangers are just waiting on hard drive somewhere to be finished

What I find interesting about this is that it forms the basis for modern doctrines. The Auftragstaktik (mission tactics) is still present in the German army today. There is no set of orders that comes from the top that the soldiers just have to carry out, instead there is a goal to be achieved. How this is done depends on the particular circumstances and NCOs.

Well machinen pistole(mp) is the German equivalent of the term sub machine gun (smg). Which is slightly confusing because they also call full auto handguns machine pistols too. But the MP18 is an smg, the original smg pretty much.

@Sorain1

Жыл бұрын

In games, SMG has a specific mechanical meaning that players will assume which has nothing to do with actual weapon classifications. High rate of fire, large magazine, short range, high recoil, poor armor penetration. Machine Pistol, Submachinegun, Shokkblasta. Call it what you will in your game, but people will put the weapon into that category in a game instinctively. It's something of a fascinating contrast between the meaning of SMG in firearms terminology, and that of games. (Table Top/Pen and Paper or Video)
