One of the things I like about Sabaton is that they don't seem to discriminate based on which army a soldier fought for. They'll sing about a hero's honour, courage, or compassion even if he's on the side that modern history deems the "bad guys".

@@AngelWedge that's cause history doesn't deem anyone "bad guys" - it just speaks about facts. The only reason we view some of the more modern history in this way is cause we bring in our biases (and mind you, nothing wrong with that but this is the right way to show history - letting the facts speak for themselves and the audience draw their own opinions from it) To give an example - if Roman Empire wasn't a thing from 1500 years ago, we would talk about them being the bad guys happily genociding tribes that fought against them. But since its so long ago, nobody thinks that way.

My favourite line in this song is probably "from the horseback to the skies" … it passes you by until you really think about it. But then it kind of drives home how new planes really were; there wasn't a real air force yet, so they figured that controlling an aircraft is similar to riding a horse and offered the job to the best cavalry guys. It's those little bits of history that don't make sense until you look it up. Have you seen the Sabaton history videos? They've got some that are like deep dives into the history behind their songs.

Sabaton's History Channel, where their historian goes into depth about the songs, is just *awesome.* (And they let him be in some of their music videos, he was so excited.) They do more than the world wars, too--one of their albums deals with the events of the 30 years' war, where Sweden played a big role (their king at the time was Protestant, and so he was big on taking the fight to the Catholic Hapsburg rulers) You definitely need to check out their recent cover of Motorhead's 1916 (they did it as a tribute to Lenny, and his band members are in the video), and The Christmas Truce--Floor Jansen sings the outro music on that one. Their lead guitarist, Tommy (the big blond dude with the baby face, poor guy) also has an INCREDIBLE voice--he did a cover of Phantom of the Opera. He sang both parts. And he hit the high note. It was impressive as heck.

Some facts about the song and the person: - "Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies" is as true as it sounds. Richtohfen began his military career as part of a calvary detachment. - "Bloody April" was nicknamed by the British because of how many planes they lost that month (nearly 300). Out of that number, Jasta 11 (the squad led by the Red Baron and is also known as The Flying Circus) shot down 89 of them. Of the 89 shot down, Richtohfen shot down 22 of them by himself (even downing 4 in one day). - Although many people picture him with the Fokker Triplane, he only did a fraction of his kills in the Triplane. The bulk of them he got while still flying a Biplane. - He painted his plane bright red so that, according to him, his squad always knew where he was at all times. His squad also adopted the bright color scheme on their planes (hence nicknamed The Flying Circus). It helped immensely to distinguish them from enemy and friendly planes alike, since there was always a lot of friendly fire in the skies. - Richtohfen is actually born of Prussian nobility, so he's a noble by all accounts.

He was credited with 80 victories, but it's probable he had several more that were unconfirmed likely putting his total around 100 or more.

In the earliest days of aerial combat during ww1 the pilots were dogfighting with hand held pistols and not mounted machine guns. A cool fact about the Red Baron, Manfred Von Richthofen, is that after he was shot down by the Entente (allied) forces he was given a military funeral with honours, with Entente officers and lower ranks acting as pallbearers and giving a fired salute. One of the memorial wreaths laid at his grave had "To our gallant and worthy foe" written on it. He was surprisingly well respected by his enemies.

I work at a historical museum and the staff is about 70/30% women to men. I would say that Sabaton has done a great job working in women’s stories with songs like Night Witches and Lady of the Dark.
