Swiss Guard | Guardia Svizzera | Schweizer Garde | Tribute 2019 [Sabaton - The Last Stand]
Фильм және анимация
The Pontifical Swiss Guard is the de facto military of the Vatican City. Established in 1506 under Pope Julius II, the Swiss Guard is responsible for the safety of the Pope, including the security of the Apostolic Palace. Recruits to the guards must be unmarried Swiss catholic males between 19 and 30 years of age who have completed basic training with the Swiss Armed Force. The commanding languages of the Guard are German and Italian. The Swiss Guard is equipped with traditional weapons, such as the halberd, as well as with modern firearms.
Music: Sabaton - The Last Stand
The song is about the "Sacco di Roma" (engl: Sack of Rome). On 6 May 1527, Rome was conquered by an army of 24,000 German, Spanish and Italian mercenaries. While 147 of 189 guardsmen defended the St. Peter's Square, the other 42 guardsmen and the Pope Clement VII escaped to the Castel Sant'Angelo. After a few weeks of siege, Clement VII surrendered.

Oddly enough, that was the purpose of funny-looking uniforms during old time for mercenaries: to catch their enemies off guard. Granted, the Swiss Guard have more regal reasons and symbolism for their uniforms but then we tend to forget they have an armory full of bullet-proof Kevlar, shields, melee weapons and advance firearms. BLESSED BY THE VATICAN.
To wear those uniforms they have to be biggest badasses on planet.

The Swiss guard saved the pope in the 1500s and the story is fascinating. During the French Revolution in the 1700s over 500 died protecting the pope in France. They don’t always wear the half plate and they are trained with all manner of guns etc

The Sack occurred in 1527. Still, the date you mention is equally if not more important; that's when the first Swiss mercenary company took service in the Vatican, marking the beginning of the Pontifical Swiss Guard, and making them the oldest professional army in the world. I remember when they had quite a lot of celebrations in 2006 for their 500 year.

They state publically that their deployment starts in the Swiss Army boot camp for a month, then another month dealing with Vatican related issues, and only if they pass both courses they are sworn for a two year deployment. Also, it is not easy to obtain permission to stay longer than that.

1) 'Traditional Europe' did not exist for thousands of years. Or are you really going to slap antiquity, the 'Dark Ages', the Middle Ages, the New Age, etc all together casually? 2) revolutions are not inherently 'leftwing'. If anything the nation state ideals and meritocratic ideals that spawned from some of the revolitions including the french ones are distinctly rightwing nowadays. 3) Europe reached it's height in power and influence well post the French Revolution. And in no small part thanks to a lot of the ideas that were spread by the Glorious, the American, the French Revolution and the Bonapartise compromise. 4) Our decline is mostly due to us being retards that fought 2 World Wars among us, shattering our power followed by a complete decline as we gave up our ability to project power due to complacency. Both problems pre Revolutionary states, cultures and Empires have experienced as well. 5) If you refer to moral decline that too is a cycle we've gone through many times and is subjective to boot.

@respect the people who Protect us Die Schweizer Garde, wie sie auf Deutsch heißt, ist Teil der Schweizer Armee, jedoch dem Papst unterstellt. Die Garde verfügt sowohl über mittelalterliche Waffen, wie Schwert und Hellebarde, als auch über moderne Schusswaffen. Leider ist darüber nicht so viel bekannt. In einem Video der Waffenkammer habe ich Sturmgewehre vom Typ SG 551 (Standardgewehr der Schweizer Armee) gesehen, außerdem sollen sie auch u.a. MP5 Maschinenpistolen benutzen. Die Gardisten in den bunten Uniformen und mit den Hellebarden dienen auch eher als eine Art Ehrengarde. Die Gardisten in den Anzügen schützen den Papst direkt. Über die restliche Ausrüstung gibt es leider kaum Infos. Ich war letztes Jahr selbst im Vatikan und habe auch keine Gardisten mit schwereren Waffen gesehen. Allerdings würde es mich nicht wundern, wenn die während der öffentlichen Auftritte des Papstes auch Scharfschützen im Einsatz hätten. Es bleibt ein Geheimnis ;)

If the Swiss guards have protecting the pope since the 1500s it goes to show they have not changed they still believe their beliefs like they did the Inquisition Medieval that they are all more men playing God
