Wolfpack was always my favourite Sabaton song, but since my grandfather died last year it became even more special to me. He was trained to be a Torpeodo Mechanic for Class VII C Submarines. (He always said he was supposed to serve on U 250 but it was sunk right before he would have been on board for the first time.) After the war he served (POW) in the Royal Navy on a small mine sweeper ship. Always had his Iron Cross next to a British Medal (I dont know which one) up on his wall. He said he liked the Royal Navy more than the Kriegsmarine because he was allowed to keep dogs on the British ship.

The Laconia story is pretty sad and bitter, the uboots had their "no bullet fly" moment but allies didn't respected it. Bombing ships in rescue effort is both a violation of regular seamens practices and what could be called a war crime. Anyway, just like jet planes and rockets, late Uboots (type XXI) were so advanced that they were copied and paved the way for virtually all submarines of every navies in the world.

The reason the red cross was not respected by the allies was because germany repeatedly showed a complete disregard for the geniva convention and all rules of war, they didn't play fair. For all the allies knew it was probably a trick to make them lower their guard. This is the fault of the nazis unecesarelly cruel and brutal tactics motivated by nazi ideology not the allies.

Sabaton Sport History would be the only sportschannel i would watch

Wolfpack is one of my absolute favorite Sabaton songs, I really wish it was a staple of the setlist, personally, a classic played at every concert !

Several of my male classmates did the smoke-three-cigars-before-the-physical-examination thing. All were deemed unfit for service and were recommended going to their own doctor for an asthma test, except the one unfortunate smoker who didn't react anywhere near as strongly as he'd anticipated and got drafted. 15 years later, I hear people are still getting away with that trick, and it was apparently also a thing when my dad was 18 (he got drafted as a medic because he also overestimated the effect three cigars would have on someone who already smoked). In the end, at least in Denmark, I kind of feel like it's been a thing for a long time that if you clearly don't want to be in the military and try to get out of it, they let you go. Unless you do it badly, in which case the military goes into total troll mode and drafts you even if you're a polio survivor missing a few muscles in your foot (my dad, again). And I've now inadvertently made myself curious to know the proportion of smokers in the Danish military compared to those in less trolling militaries.

Hope that Indys hand would finaly heal after so long time xD

I know I am late to this after realising that episode may not be looked back at by the team. (Diary Of An Unknown Soldier) but that was where I first saw the offer of audience input for history topics. An idea that came to mind which could be an add on episode to the Bismarck episode is the history of the successful battlecruiser KMS Scharnhorst. A somewhat overlooked ship when looking at the German World War Two navy. Including the ship having the longest target hit on a movement target by an Axis vessel, Taking part in the sinking of the British Carrier HMS Glorious and the final stand the German ship had against the British at the Battle Of North Cape. Just wanted to also add on. I love the teamwork between both band and historian that is created in each episode and look forward to seeing more in the future.

I love these revisits that allow us to hear more stories related to the subject. 🤘🥰 Happy 100th episode team! Here's to 100 more and a happier New Year where we hopefully get to see one another at a concert again ❤

Glad to watch and continually watch every episode you guys put out. Love the work, keep it up.

I don't know if this has been pointed out already but at 6:48 you claim that the British captured an enigma machine and thus could crack the code. The truth is that the enigma machine was not required and that Ultra (Bletchley Park) had already cracked the enigma codes. I don't know if this is when they found the code books, that would have helped a lot, and the naval enigma machine was also differed from the other machines with an extra rotor (if I remeber correctly, or maybe the extra rotor was added later). The story of the code breakers and Bletchley Park is well worth it's own episode or more, but I assume no song has been written about them so they remain the unsung heroes. ;)

Imagine being the guy who was initially gonna be the drummer for Sabaton byt instead going to do military service. That must have been an awful feeling

Pretending to be crazy is the most surefire way to not get into the Swedish military. I'm also at the age where I had to try out for the military, "mönstra", but they only took very few because they were discontinuing the conscription. I did really well in the intelligence test but not so much in the strength and conditioning tests (a life of gaming will do that to you), so sadly I wasn't taken. The courses they suggested to me were also only taking very few applicants and the one that fit me the most they weren't even sure if it was going to be cancelled or not. A few years later the government realized that it was a very bad idea because our military is so small and the greatest cost of the military isn't the equipment or training of yearly recruits, but the salaries of the professionals. They had cut conscription to reduce cost, but only ended up increasing it by switching to a professional military. We have returned to having an army that works on partial conscription, but I will forever be pissy about the lost chance when I was trying out.

I think Sabaton should do a song about the Red Cross or better yet an album about the homefronts of the great war and wwii. For war is waged not just on the front but by those in the factories, and the people left at home. Logistics is the name of victory. Strategy is the name of defeat. Strategy is nothing without logistics.

A good video to watch about the Laconia incident is by Oceanliner Designs

Here in Brazil we also have mandatory military service, from the age of 18 every male needs to do it's test and the armed forces choses some for a year of military service. And I did pretty much the same, by the time I turned 18 I was already at university and I didn't want to postpone my studies to be in the army, I always loved the ideia of being an officer(mainly because of Paradox strategy games), but officer school is not the one you join simply by turning 18. So I went to the psichology and pretend to have the worst case of depression ever, and they let me go, I guess the army didn't want someone to shoot itself. My father, a militaryman, was very proud, cause he didn't want me to go throght everything he went throght. I never got to be an officer, but gratuated just fine.

I've seen some people and even bands do it. But man, I think it'd be great if the band members of Sabaton went and did military boot camp. Especially if it was like a world tour. So they did a week of Military boot camp in the US. Boot camp in Germany and Poland, maybe even Russia. I think it'd just be cool. Especially since their songs are so centered around these country's military. To maybe not experience exactly what the soldiers in their songs did, but to try something like it. It'd even be cooler if they were able to do special forces training for a bit. Like US Marines or Spetznaz. Although I know that Spetznaz training is often described as hell itself.
