He wrote poetry and one of them is "The Crosses Grow on Anzio" . Sabaton used some of the lyrics in this song.

[@warsuitgaming8692]

For those who are curious but dont want to search for it, here is the text to "The Crosses Grow on Anzio": Oh, gather 'round me, comrades; and listen while I speak Of a war, a war, a war where hell is six feet deep. Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh how can a soldier sleep? The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is six feet deep. Praise be to God for this captured sod that rich with blood does seep. With yours and mine, like butchered swine's; and hell is six feet deep. That death awaits there's no debate; no triumph will we reap. The crosses grow on Anzio, where hell is six feet deep.

so Audie Murphy after the war became addicted to painkillers to kick his addiction he locked himself in a hotel room for i think 7 or 14 days then he became an actor starring in movies one of them was about himself he was successful even winning an oscar he was one of the most decorated soldiers in american history

[@zdaaaaar]

You can see parts of his movies in this video :)

[@imaran1303]

Not only that, the dude was a actual action hero. The dude has committed so many acts of heroism that when they started making a movie on his exploits, hollywood told him to tone it down because a lot of it just seemed so unbelievable... until they got the first hand accounts of his fellow soldiers who actually saw the dude do shit like jump on a burning wreckage of a tank to man the turret to mow down enemy soldiers, or him running straight into a enemy machine gun encampment, killing a handful and capturing the rest... all because he saw his friend got mowed down even though the people in the encampment had pretended to surrender.

[@leechowning2712]

@@imaran1303 Look at the last 15 seconds of the video... A man with THAT on his chest honestly should be what we mean when we are talking about heros. Awarded metals by both the British and French armies, as well as EVERY metal given by the US Army for the war.

Not one of, the most decorated

[@twohorsesinamancostume7606]

Audie Murphy was the guy that made the country realize that PTSD wasn't the result of a lack of fortitude or cowardice. You can't very well call the most decorated soldier the U.S. Army has ever produced a coward so when he spoke out that there were very real mental costs to sending men off to war, people definitely listened.

Almost as if it's a bad idea to send neurotypicals to do a psychopath's job... who'd'a thunk it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are from Sweden. Sweden is as "neutral" as the Swiss. So they can sing about every party in a war/campain without bias. And that is why neither the French nor the Polish audience hate them for starting every live performances with a song about the "Blitzkrieg" (Ghost Division)

[@brennanhearn6342]

As a Texan myself, Audie Murphy is one of my personal heroes. The man was a living legend. I'm surprised all the metal on his chest didn't make him fall over, bro was a TWIG of a man but an absolute BADASS. He volunteered for the marines, they said no. Navy said no. Army said no. All because he was so small. Eventually though, his persistence paid off. And then his glory began. He had MALARIA through most of his service and STILL was an absolute badass. He got hooked on drugs when he came home and locked himself in a motel room for a week and got OVER it. He played himself in a biopic where they cut things out because they thought audiences wouldn't BELIEVE IT... I'm also of Polish descent, and if you don't react to Uprising Imma riot

[@LianteakaLia]

Audie Murphy is basically the real world Captain America. But without the super soldier serum, which makes his accomplishments even more amazing.

[@tancar2004]

The war scenes you see in the video are from a movie called "To Hell and Back" it was about Audie Murphy and he starred it in so the soldier you see in those war scenes is the real Audie Murphy.

[@luckyassassin1]

Yup, and they toned down his actions in the movie because they thought they were too unbelievable for an audience to accept.

[@trentbresler3179]

The lyrics in the course is actually Murphy's own words from his poems. What is crazy is he was literally captain America, when he tried to join the army they told him he was to small. He eventually found someone to ok his papers and was the biggest hero in ww2.

[@ai-spacedestructor]

i remember watching the video a while back, i love listening to Sabaton and usually i enjoy watching there amazing high quality videos because they are all on a whole another level but i struggled watching this one and had to look a way for certain scenes (the bug scenes and the gun scenes) where the second group of scenes is because i lost several friends to suicide. at the same time i also love that they put this out despite how unkomfortable it makes me because mental health issues, not only comming from serving in a war but also in general are not talked enough in public to be recognized as a thing that happens to people by the general population. While we also need Informative videos, something like this that gives general attention to it is something i love to see if its done right because im dealing with mental health issues on a regular basis and i feel like i cant ask other for advice since nobody besides me that i know has made experience with it and could help me out. I cant wait for the day where videos like this and all others that show mental health issues correctly how they are help raising enough awareness so it gets the attention and dediction we need to properly deal with it. For example none of the people i lost to suicide despite them all living in the same country as me where able to find a mental health expert or if the had one it was a bad person that made them stop seeking help, which reminds me i will never understand why people get in to a mental health related job if they hate dealing with mental health and just end up causing even more harm which often is very difficult or impossible to undo later on.

ptsd is also common for Ambulance and Firefighters, I have a neighbour who was firefighter, he has some horrible flashbacks and obvious PTSD, once while drunk, he kept on repeating "her skin came of when I tried moving her" for almost ten whole minutes and was completely unresponsive. just lucky no kids heard... salute to all firefighters, ambulance personellm ER...

Great reaction! 🤘I see a lot of great suggestions of Sabaton songs here, so I want to give a shout out for 2 other, awesome songs by them: "Angels Calling" feat. Apocalyptica (official music video or live from the Great Show in Prague, 2020) and "The final solution" (official lyric video. This is an emotional song, about the "Nazi final solution" in WW2).

[@vakistania]

First time I watched the video I felt it was a bit on the nose and overly dramatic, but when I thought about it I realized that it was just me trying to downplay how it really feels to be in these positions. The video is raw and doesn't hold back and it is very realistic, another youtuber who suffers from PTSD mentioned the "sitting in a corner with your back against the wall" to be something only someone with PTSD would understand the gravity of but that everyone suffering from PTSD has found themself in that exact same position. No matter if you have PTSD or "just" regular depression, there is help to get, and you aren't alone in your experiences, so please get the help you can even if it is hard or you feel that you do not deserve the help.

[@thegingergod3122]

You should do Fields of Verdun next. Also you should do reactions to the Sabaton History for each sing you listen too. I'm sure everyone would enjoy your thoughts on the in depth stories behind the songs.

My father served in the Polish Cavalry during the War he too had PTSD but was not recognised then . Deemed as "shell shock" He was first captured by the Russian and sent to Siberia. Along with a couple of comrades escaped and headed to Palestine "now Israel and re-joined the 8th Army he was a Colonel and fought both in Africa and then in Italy last battle was Casino.

If you are ready for more of an emotional gut punch, The Price of a Mile, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Fields of Verdun, Uprising. They also have a history channel where they go into the history of the events that the songs are written about, and if you look up the lyrics on their web page they have a little history snippet at the bottom.

He had it worse than me, but I remember his mother coming to the base and I'd spent a Thanksgiving at her house and she just looked at me and said "You were supposed to keep an eye on him". I was forgiving when he came back, but I told him not to put me in that position again. You need a week off? Tell me. I won't try to stop you, but I can confirm you are safe.
