One of the sweetest riff in Sabaton history.

[@HelghastDiver]

The Swedish version hits differently. Listening to the English version of this song you wouldn't even know about the Atrocities the Swedish Soldiers commited but the Swedish version talks about em and my respect for Sabaton has reached a new level. It was already high to begin with but it can't get any higher after this. Also a great video I learned a lot more history through Sabaton and the Sabaton History Channel than I ever did in a shitty American School.

At the second battle of Narva the Russian troops who took the city did the Berlin thing - despite Peter the Great going as far as killing his own men to stop them. News of it reached the Swedes, and although Voltaire never explicitly says so, it's possible that the violence at Fraustadt was a retaliation.

very underrated song from sabaton

[@denniskarlsson7121]

Incredibly advanced Saxons being able to fly already in the 18th century. "One by one the Saxons fly home" It'd be "One by one the Saxons run home"

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

The best translation probably would have been "One by on the Saxons flee home" but that eluded me when I made this unfortunately. Thank you for picking up on that.

@@tman9619 "flyr" translates to "flee", to get "fly" the sentence would have to be "flyger". It doesn't work.

[@Tramseskumbanan]

King Karl wrote to Rehnskiöld after the battle: “Det syntes Mig väl vara, det som Herr Generalen beslutit. Såväl om Posen som om fångarna”.

[@InquisitorCyTh]

Caroleans executed about 500 Russian prisoners. It is debated whether they did this in retaliation for Russian atrocities in Courland or because they believed their inside-out coats were an attempt to be recognized as Saxons, who were given better terms in captivity. Hiding your own identity and claiming to be something else was frowned upon at the time, and sometimes considered reason enough to be denied quarter. So yeah, since it happened over 300 years ago I don't think anyone will know for sure.

[@DoctorItaly1998]

[@heckinmemes6430]

[@alfatejpblind6498]

Think it should be translated as "A bloodstained battlefield" or something along those lines. Magnificent painting in the background though, where is it from?

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

I have to be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I found it on Duckduckgo (An alternative search engine) by just searching "Battle of Fraustadt painting." It was the first result, however, that brought me to a pinterest page and didn't contain any details about it's origin. If I knew, it would be in the description.

[@alfatejpblind6498]

Duke of Txtspeak Alright, thank you!

[@cmillivol98]

Directly translated, it is “a battle colored red” but it’s basically the same idea. If it was battlefield it would be ”slagfält” instead of just ”slag”

@@DukeofTxtspeak It may sound old-fashioned, but the meaning is very different from honor is forgotten, which sounds like it was just the soldiers who momentarily had a lapse of honor that they may get away with if no one catches them at it. The honor is lost conveys a more permanent loss of honor in the eyes of onlookers. Up to this battle swedes had a pretty good reputation for discipline and for following the codes of wars at the time unusually well. This was lost afterward.
