This video is about the 82nd Division who, together with Sergeant Alvin York stormed Hill 223 in September 1918. Just before that, the 'Lost Battalion' made a stance against the German forces in the same area. We have made an episode about the Sabaton Song 'Lost Battalion' as well, which you can watch right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppixqZygl6mfgK8 We love the reception of our weekly videos, and have some great stuff coming up the next weeks. We want as many of our fans to see this, so make sure to share this channel with your friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, teachers and other loved ones. You'd be doing them and us a real favour!

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword". Figuratively speaking of course but you get the idea, he was there to save people and he knew that would turn others against them in the long run. Same with York, he killed all those people to save his own men, but of course anyone would question themselves indefinitely after performing such seemingly merciless actions. Desmond Doss I think is the model of a Christian soldier, he did as much as he possibly could without resorting to violence and let the Lord be his protection from the enemy, not a gun.

Fact: When Sgt. York was surprised, he dropped his rifle and grabbed his sidearm a 1911 in 45acp. Hollywood: In the Sgt. York movie played by Gary Cooper, he picked up a Luger 9mm. During the making of the movie, Hollywood could not make a 45acp blank to function properly in the 1911. They had 9mm blanks, and Gary Copper captured the German with their own Luger pistol.

They have so many good, different songs across so many albums and topics that it's hard to choose!

I was listening to this song when we heard it wasn't a drill and were told to hide in the corner, but I thought that wasn't something that Alvin York would do. I went up to my teacher and asked her for scissors and sat down by the door, waiting for someone to enter for about an hour and a half while listening to this song along with some others to keep me calm. Eventually the shooter turned out to be a false alarm but I'm still proud of myself for being brave and wanting to protect my classmates.

When I was younger I didn't exactly know who Alvin York was. The first time I heard his name was from a joke in Wayne's World. "I mean, there are two Darren Stevens, right? Dick York and Dick Sargent. Yeah, right, as if we wouldn't notice. Oh hold on: Dick York, Dick Sargent, Sergeant York... Wow, that's weird."

War has had many Sgt. Yorks that did not live to tell their tale. We are lucky to have the stories we do.

It is. It really is. And it still happens to people all too often, scarring them, sometimes for life. War is never, ever to be taken lightly. Maria

Alvin didn't buy the farm it was given to him from the state of Tennessee 328 acres is what my grandfather told me my grandpappy lived down on a holler down the road from Alvin Y.

All my respect to Alvin York! I can't blame him for wanting to kill those machine-gunners after they killed his best friend and even shot at their own soldiers

York actually tried to reenlist during WWII, but he was over 50 and had a long list of medical problems. In the end they just used him for recruitment and war bonds, but he was happy to do his part.
