Devil Dogs - U.S. Marines - Sabaton History 023 [Official]

The United States entered the battlefields of Europe in 1918. Among the first Americans to participate in the fight are the U.S. Marines, who quickly adopt the names Devil Dogs. One of their most notable engagements is the Battle of Belleau Wood in June 1918, where the Marines fought the battle-hardened Germans for 26 days.

This episode is about the US Marines and their actions during the Battle of Belleau Wood in 1918. While most of the footage in this episode is depicting the marines and the Germans in 1918, and some of it is even depicting the actual fighting in Belleau wood, there is not a whole lot footage or imagery from the action. So for whoever is enough of a history buff to spot that some of our illustrative material is in fact depicting other engagements, well spotted! We try to use authentic material whenever we can, but in the end we have to make an episode visually attractive and dramatic, and we can't do that with just looking at Indy's head for 15 minutes (although I'm sure that many of you wouldn't mind). That was the announcement. Peace, rock on and cheers!

A Wisconsin newspaper had an article on the "Devil Dog" nickname on April 27th, 1918. Some newspapers used this nickname as early as April 14th, 1918. So essentially, this song has a Wisconsin connection!

Marine here. We were told in a boot camp "history" lesson that we were given the name Devil Dog for a myriad of reasons, but my favorite was because the gas would cause us to foam at the mouth while we were hooking and jabbing with our bayonets, terrifying the German soldiers who thought we were literal demon dogs from hell.

Americans are trying to show respect and admiration for their past warriors and you’re making gratuitous points that everyone already knows.

Our brains told us to fear it, but our wills heard but one command, to clean it out, and I can still see before my very eyes those waves in the poppy-spattered wheat-field as the steady lines of our Marines went in." -Col Albertus Catlin, 6th Marine Regiment

[@davidacosta3791]

Hey. I asked my dad (retired Marine) why they were called the devil dogs. He said it was a nickname the Germans gave them. But it wasn’t entirely about their furious battle tactics. It was actually a side product of all the officers and NCOs getting killed. Then new leaders would arise from the ranks. These new leaders didn’t know how to lead a charge or communicate so they actually turned to barking (whether barking orders or literal barking, it’s up to the Marine you ask. My dad portrays it as literal barking) to signal a charge. The Germans heard barking and were confused as you’d probably be when you hear dogs in the other trench. Then out of nowhere there would be a ton of Marines charging your position. Basically it was the barking then the furious attacks that led the Germans to nickname the Marines the devil dogs. Also these attacks became really scary for the Germans because they realized that America’s finest were charging them leading to terror through the ranks. I love you guys’ music and I love learning the history behind the events that inspired it!

The story I've heard and makes sense about the term devil dogs is how the Marines looked during a part of the battle. After the gas attack and the Marines were trying to take the hill, they had to climb often times scrambling on all fours. Couple that with gas masks and some drooling and foaming at the mouth from heat and it's a scary sight. What the germans saw charging them were crazy men climbing on all fours with long gas masks, drooling/foaming at the mouth and blood shot eyes and were reminded of the dogs from hell.

[@johnmichaelson9173]

The Devil Dogs story simply isn't true, the Germans didn't name the Marine's anything other than American's. It's something made up by American newspapers & was in print for over a month prior to Belleau Wood.

This song is gonna be my favourite too. I knew that about Red Baron after hearing the snippets in the Sabaton History episode, and I have the same feeling now.

[@unbeatablesniper16]

8:14 as cheesy as that sounded when Indy mentioned that, hearing Joakim shout it at 12:01 made me believe what it really could have sounded like. :)

[@kerlongsjorlejov1945]

Hell of a story here. And damn, I like what you got here. As for the album. I can't wait to hear it.

[@ianlowery7740]

I would love to see a song about the combat medics of the US Marines.....the Navy Corpsman. Keep up the songs! We need more!

[@Caiddenn]

Although I feel like this music is far away from what the soldiers of these battles would recognize, I'm still impressed by the dedication of Sabaton in going the extra mile to dig out the most interesting parts of WW1 history to further their craft. Kudos for working with Indy Neidell to make this possible.

[@eldredithiliel]

Another great song, another great history. Keep on, Sabaton!!! 🤘

[@SabatonHistory]

Thanks!

[@orclogic1495]

Belleau Wood needed to be a Battlefield 1 Map.

[@AlfredFJones1776]

Orc Logic Yes it did. It should have been the 4th ground map for the Apocalypse DLC. But no, instead they have us shitty plane maps from the campaign that no one cared about.

[@briankillian3034]

At 44 years of age I have learned more about certain parts of history from you guys than all through highschool. You guys are awesome keep up the good work

[@SabatonHistory]

Thanks! Rock on

[@benlex5672]

The age of Banzai charges... kinda crazy if you think about it

[@kalashnikovdevil]

"And, waking or sleeping, I can still see before me the dark threat of Belleau Wood, as full of menace as a tiger's foot, dangerous as a live wire, poisonous with gas, bristling with machine guns, alive with snipers, scornfully beckoning us to come on and be slain, waiting for us like a dragon in its den. Our brains told us to fear it, but our wills heard but one command, to clean it out, and I can still see before my very eyes those waves in the poppy-spattered wheat-field as the steady lines of our Marines went in."-Col Albertus Catlin, 6th Marine Regiment

[@TiernanWilkinson]

I really like what you did with the background music.

[@SabatonHistory]

Thanks! I'll pass it on to our editor!
