[@EllenbergW]

When you asked why they got back to shooting each other, many soldiers actually refused to shoot at the guys on the other side after this or aimed deliberately high, so they wouldn't hit anyone. Of course, the higher ups didn't like that at all and most units were rotated to other areas, so they wouldn't face the guys they had learned to know. In 1915, anything similar was strictly forbidden under threat of court martial. In addition, artillery barrages were ordered during Christmas, so no-one could leave their trench. Edit: I have seen this video perhaps a hundred time now, and there was not a single instance where I didn't have tears in my eyes.

[@TheScienceNerd100]

Its very sad, the officers who opposed the truce were never in the trenches to see the horror, or feel the peace in its true form. They had one goal in mind, to win the war. But the true meaning of winning to the poor soldiers in the trenches was to get home, to their family. The officers and generals didn't care about the poor men fighting the war they never understood, for a cause they never knew. Its sad that many poor lives are thrown away by people who never cared for them.

[@jamescurfman3284]

​@@TheScienceNerd100 Your own commanders don't care about you, they just want results so they can look good. And that is just one of the many reasons why 'war is hell'.

[@waynehatchell6343]

What's even sadder is that some of the French Generals had some of their French soldiers, who participated in the 1914 Christmas Truce, executed by firing squad as an example for disobeying orders.

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

@@TheScienceNerd100 The officers have orders. Grunts can generally get away with a lot, but something like this would have had major consequences for the officers and others of high rank. Officers are responsible for the actions of those they oversee. Back then, while family standing DID get you a higher rank, there were plenty that sloughed through conflicts to gain promotions. Many, many officers say hell, considering how often major wars happened back then. More often than not, officers, generals and majors cared about their soldiers like they were their sons. Those up top, the brigadier generals and commanders often viewed soldiers as expendable. The highest ranked leaders are the evil ones who decided to have men slaughtered for nought, not the officers. The highest ups fought for profit, not the officers. Officer isn't even a high rank. All it means is that a fresh recruit was promoted a few times. Same as it is today. Senators, generals, congress and the presidency don't care about their soldiers or their civilians, they care about their wallet. Nobody wanted the war, and everyone wanted it to end. This is the reason for chemical weapons and other WMDs. The longer the war, the more boys lost.

Finally found the quote I was looking for: "War brings out the worst and the best in people. Wars do not make men great, but they do bring out the greatness in good men. War is romantic only to those who are far away from the sounds and turmoil of battle. For those of us who served in Easy Company, and for those who served their country in other theaters, we came back as better men and women as a result of being in combat, and most would do it again if called upon. But each of us hoped that if we had learned anything from the experience it is that war is unreal, and we earnestly hoped that it would never happen again.” -- Dick Winters

[@WardDorrity]

Outstanding quote.

[@jmetallover]

Amen and the motto of any combat vet, the death of your buddies has a way of truly getting you to evaluate what the cost of war really is.

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

I like Sabaton, they sing about wars almost exclusively, but it's not glorifying. At best, it's the best you can do, but songs like this display the sadness it inevitably brings.

[@joshuaswanson1977]

RIP Major Winters.

[@jemrockton]

The singer writes the music practically alone. He does all the layering and mixing, as well (pre-production wise). I, too, love his singing voice, goes directly to my heart and soul. Sabaton are big in the Metal scene. They recorded the vid in Czech Republic with a regisseur specialized on proper films, not music vids. And Sabaton's drummer (the guy who left the trenches first) is married to Floor.

[@jmetallover]

A soldier's truce, one done by men sitting in the frozen mud and snow covered trenches surrounded by their dead comrades and longing to be home for the Holidays. The courage this took should not be ever underestimated, as a vet the hardest thing to hold onto is your humanity, here these men rose above the insanity even for a short time. The Generals made sure this never happened again and sadly most of the men who took part in this never survived the War that went on for another 4 years. A Christmas song but also one of Remembrance for all those lost in any War, and for those left behind with only their memories at Holiday time. Floor singing at the end was the Angle carrying the fallen from the battlefield home to their rest. There is not one part of this that is not a complete masterpiece. Lest We Forget but also a call to remember what these men did and demonstrated what humanity can accomplish when they put aside their differences. Wonderful video, great reaction and even better masterful work from Sabaton, the best History teachers anyone can ever have!!

[@gryphonosiris2577]

Also much had changed after the first year of the war. With the Germans first introducing aerosolized Chlorine gas, then later Phosgene, and German Zeppelins bombing civilians in London there was little chance that there would have been a truce again.

[@Ben_Kimber]

The story of the Christmas Truce of 1914 is beautiful, heartwarming, but also tragically bittersweet and heartbreaking. Making friends with the enemy makes them much harder to kill when the battle resumes, because you’re no longer shooting at faceless, nameless enemies. You’re shooting at people you have met, spoken, shared food, buried the dead, and played games with. You know each other now, at least a little. You may have even shown each other pictures of the family waiting for you back home, and it is very likely that either one of you or both of you will never see them again. Under any other circumstances, you could have been good friends, but instead you have to kill each other, because that is your duty, and it is also theirs. The kindest thing you can do for them now is to try your best to make their deaths as painless as possible, and hope they do the same.

[@argantyr5154]

The cross in the end actually exists. It's located somewhere near Ypres in Belgium. It's a memorial for the Christmas truce and was put there in 1999. It reads: 1914, The Khaki Chums, Christmas Truce 1999 85 Years Lest We Forget (taken from another user that I have forgotten the name of). Another reactor (TanktheTech) mentioned that there were 93 people to make this Music Video. The 93 is counting everyone from Makeup artist, to Extras (actors), Sound, light, special effects etc. etc. It was filmed in the Czech Republic

I'm a Classical music lover. Sabaton has expanded my taste in music into the field of Metal. They MUST be good to be able to crossover like that. This is like Classical mixed with Rock. Due to Floors singing at the end and finding out who she was from reaction videos by people in the know, I checked out Nightwish, Ghost Love Score. Wow another Classical Metal combination. Good music bends or breaks boundaries.

Hi Sabina. I always wait to see wether the reactor will hold his breath when the first soldier steps into the open. You did.

Without a doubt this is definitely a masterpiece. My German grandfather fought in world war I and he spoke about this on one of our visits with him on Christmas. Also that year 1914 was one of the coldest winters in over 50 years. He spoke about it and he fought in Belgium and in Russia. The guitar that you see being played in this video is a 1914 Martin. I am a veteran myself and I appreciate this video very much. I appreciate your honesty and you're evaluation of this video. Keep on keeping on

Thanks Henning !! I also thought this song/movie needed to appear here but didn't suggest because Sabina might already have tons of requests. Was about the most impressive song in a time that - to me - reveals that even in most tragic and horrifying times a rest of humanity remains and Christmas in this case gave it an oportunity to rise. Music is just great and so fitting to the story. Reminder of 'Carol Of The Bells' got me emotionally as several other parts (e.g. lest we forget) of the song. Joakims voice is awesome as Floor's at the end. Yes, don't skip the credits ! It's a bitter reminder of our history but with a shimmer of hope. Up to us to learn, understand and do better. At least we do have the chance. Stay well !

The soldiers of the Christmas truce found out, that they actually had more in common with the poor bastard in the other trench, than with their own generals! In the Christmas of 1915, the generals couldn't have that! So there was no repeat of the 1914 Christmas truce on this large scale, as the artillery kept firing ... Some DID come out of their trenches, but was mostly instantly killed by the enemy soldiers. No moment of peace in a war that'll never end ... Until 11 o'clock, 11th of November, 1918 ... War to end all wars, indeed ...

The first time I heard of the Christmas truce was in Paul McCartneys "Pipes of peace" from 1983. The "riff" is Carrol of the bells upside down, or backwards. Carrol of the bells start at the 5th and moves to the tonic, Joakims "riff" goes from the base to the 5th. But it's still recognizable. Next should be "En livstid i krig" live in Gothenburg. Being Dane I don't know how good your Swedish is, but there's English subs. Gott nytt år Sabina.

[@leechowning2712]

A new reactor... welcome to Sabaton. We are always happy to have new reactors and we will be happy to see you more often. A little note that I know most reactors worry about, as long as you use the official videos from Sabaton, Sabaton History of Yarnhub you will not get copywrite strikes. The band believes that a lot of the fans, including myself, come from first seeing a reaction or a cover of their songs and so their agents are very good about not flagging videos. I hope you enjoy the song, and hope to see more reactions to their music.

And, the truly amusing part about how powerful his voice is... he was originally the keyboardist. When the original lead singer quit unexpectedly, predates myself so I don't know the specifics, J was asked to take the mic "temporarily, until we can find a better lead singer"... Obviously that has not happened so far, and most of us consider it unlikely to happen.

"A Christmas on the frontline, we walk among our friends. We don't think about tomorrow, the battle will commence. When we celebrated Christmas we thought about our friends, those who never made it home when the battle had commenced" Why does the last line have to hit so hard

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Because it ingrains, I think, a deeper and more profound understanding than mere words ever could. It is this way when such masterpieces of art are multi-sensual, in the sense you use multiple senses to emotionally feel and understand what the artist, as here that artist being Sabaton, is attempting to convey to their viewers and listeners. Only when we have a true understanding of the horrors of war, and the inhumanity of evil, can we ever begin to understand what are truly capable of, in terms of the goodness and righteousness that humanity has the capacity to exercise. In learning the lessons of history, I am always reminded of the dichotomy of human existence: That not only are we capable of the greatest good, but that we are also capable of the ultimate evil. And even then, even when we are in the depths of Hell or the heights of Heaven, we must always remember that there is the capacity to show our true worth and true value, both as individuals, and as people. Here, the line you speak of hits so hard because it is both a statement and a question, in an attempt to understand the environment and situation. It is also a remberance and a reminder as to how short life really is -- and it teaches us as to how we should live our lives. Lastly, it is a reminder that what the men who fought that war a century ago was not in vain, if it is not forgotten -- which is the hope of any man who lives, and who knows that his life is but for a while. Only by affecting others is he, and others, remembered, because a person never truly dies until they are forgotten.

I also found this song very emotional. It brought back memories of when I was working in a Pub in the 1980s. There was a regular who was a Veteran of the War and I remember the stories he would tell about it. He wasn't there for the truce, but joined up in 1915 (if I remember correctly). It was portrayed as a glamorous and heroic thing to do to fight for your Country and so he lied about his age to enlist. He then talked about the shock of the reality of it when he got there. He was wounded on the Somme and still carried some shrapnel with him. The positive side to his story was that, whilst he was recovering, he met his Wife who was a nurse at the Hospital. She was still with him that many years later and used to accompany him to the Pub on occasions.

(except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken) If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these: (These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use) [live at Woodstock 2012]: Ghost Division, 40:1 and Uprising [Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krig (make sure to turn subtitles on), Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling [Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, The Final Solution, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama, Cliffs Of Gallipolli and The lost betallion [Music Video's]: Bismarck, Steel Commanders, Defence of Moscow, Livgardet (make sure to turn subtitles on), Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising The Future Of Warfare (Building Blocks Video) & Seven Pillars of wisdom [Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's) [Covers]: Kingdom Come [Offical video] and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.

[@LeipzigerfromNorth]

I had the song in the playlist and cried every time it came on. So powerful and so full of memories (I lost 2 great grandfathers in Stalingrad)

[@NaX619]

That was a hard one for me, im a 31y old man and i cryed like a kid.. greetings from germany.

[@Kunjo79]

I’m 43 and from England and it was hard for me too, tears flowing freely. Lest we forget those brave men from both sides of a truly terrible war.

[@KillerwhaleTRX]

You almost cried as much as me, and that cross,,,,,it still stands if you want to go there!!

[@ma265019]

Godt at se en stå ved sine føelser, og stå ved dem og blive i dem.

[@Caroline.123]

Every time I watch this song I cry, its so powerful.

[@johnnyringo80]

That sigh of yours in the end... I'm with you. Really every single time I hear this song.

[@juani7034]

Una obra maestra, simplemente epico

[@johnekare8376]

Great reaction! If you want to dig deeper in to Sabaton, I would recommend "En livstid i krig", live from Gothenburg. Also a very emotional piece and slower in pace. But they have a lot of songs that are heavier, faster and more metal in sound as well.

[@martin6181]

Now that you've experienced this song I suggest you go on and check out their song "No Bullets Fly" - the animated story, that's also one song that usually brings people to tears but for a positive reason this time.

[@user-1982.Konstantin]

It's a very good reaction! Fenks a million, what you shared your emotions. From Russia with love.

[@zacscurlockshobbies2133]

Goes to show even in a time of bloodshed and tears. We as people can come together on a important day if the year and celebrate the day of the birth of where it all started. Even during the American Civil War December of 1862. After the Union defeat a Fredericksburg. Union and Confederate soldiers came together to exchange coffee and tobacco and also buried there dead. This was absolutely amazing. Great Job. It made me cry too

[@henrikvidin]

I've seen this video a thousand times. I cry every time. True masterpiece! Made with such elegance and feeling. Must be the strongest music video ever made.

[@fluff7773]

Welcome to Sabaton they are great, the lyric, the videos and the music are awesome.

[@BayneUpton]

Thank you. Your reaction was beautiful, and on point. You brought me to tears although this song almost does that to me every time I hear it.

[@sabina1118]

My pleasure and Thank you so much - also for share how you felt 🙏🏻❤️

[@boblethbridge6292]

Sabaton go from strength to strength... nothing they have done is small or mean, but their later works are getting the video support the songs deserve. I recommend "Bismark"... "At the ending of the day And at the going down of the sun We will remember them..."

[@malinbond1278]

I'm loving this phenomenon of people all over the world reacting to Sabaton. Watching you feel the same raw emotions that I feel and have felt for many years being a Sabaton fan. Music is beautiful, and this topic is so important in general.

[@stevehughes6627]

This should have been worthy of a Grammy or some other award, the production and cinematography was that good. The guitar is apparently genuine to that time. The cross at the end is still there in a cemetary. And if it helps, you cried the samd times I did.

[@stevejohnson9234]

This reaction proves what a wonderful person you are Sabina x

[@mgmeiaeventpromoter8426]

This is a true History as Night Wish says and the angelic voice is from someone you love. Exactly from Floor

[@bonez9160]

Beautiful girl. and a very nice reaction to this song. ❤

[@birminghamchris9377]

One of your best postings and reactions to date. Paul McCartney recorded the Pipes of Peace following a similar theme I think in the 80’s. This offering however is powerful and beautifully made, and can’t help but leave an impression. Highlighting the horrors and futility of WW1 can be seen on many videos. But to combine that with a great song that delivers a message is for me a winning combination. Thought provoking, heart breaking…there are many emotions to be felt. This is the route reaction channels should follow with their presentation and style. Another winner Sabina, and for me, your best to date.

[@2104dogface]

man i forgot about Paul McCartney's song and that was well done too esp for the 80's

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

Yeah...no. You are not the only one brought to tears. Sabaton and their reverence for history, and, good, bad, hero, travesty: all the same in their approach to a specific subject in their songs. No matter how many times I hear this song, specifically, it never fails to evoke tears. And watching all of the reaction videos--even those from the Governator kind of men--seeing them break down in tears really shows the emotion and the amazing ability of Sabaton to tell a story. Their historical accuracy in the portrayal of said story is why they are as revered as those who made Band of Brothers.

[@mmxconect]

This song is historic!!! Amazing! Please give a reaction to "The Final Solution" - Sabaton. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@sergeiivanovich6827]

Let me remind you that at the end of the video we hear the angelic voice of Floor Jansen... precisely the angels who meet the souls of the dead... this makes the video more dramatic... and more beautiful.

[@TimoArula]

Powerful song by a Great Band Sabaton and little Floor Jansen magic at the end .....Perfection !!!!!! 🤘🥰🤘.

[@dangustafsson1806]

Great reaction Sabina, and welcome to the treasure vault of Sabaton songs. There are much for you to discover. I would recommend next Sabaton emotional song - No bullets fly - animated story.

[@carldevries9108]

This masterpiece of a song and video brings out more emotions than most movies nowadays. Beautiful reaction Sabina. I have not yet gotten tired of watching people react to this. Have a great 2022!

[@pangling2217]

That's true. Movie's today are shit

[@blackdog3358]

sabaton rocks. You should do some more of their songs. don't for get the tissues!

[@n5iln]

Joakim: "We need a power soprano to sing the final section of this." Hannes (on phone): "Honey, can you come to the studio for a bit?" Completely serious for just a moment: WAR IS HELL. Nobody who has never actually experienced it will ever truly understand it.

[@Brainreaver79]

to be honest,.. i hope ill never have to understand it,...

[@red_five1542]

When and where did you fight?
