Love that Sabaton included them, class act. The man carrying Lemmy's picture is Eddie Rocha, current Sabaton tour manager, and former Motorhead tour manager. The cello over the end credits was played by Tina Guo, she has worked with Sabaton several times, has even joined them on stage, including for "Swedish Pagan's" at Wacken 2019.

Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead wrote "1916" after watching a documentary on the Battle of the Somme where a veteran of the battle talked about holding his best friend as he died. The Motorhead version is very stripped back, while this is more epic and Sabton has included soldiers from throughout history who fought and died for their homelands. Both versions are incredible and I feel complement each other nicely. A fitting tribute to both Lemmy and those who gave all for their countries. RIP, you are all missed and appreciated. The two images that always get me are the soldiers marching off into the mists of history and the young soldier at the end, standing in the middle of the desolation, glancing at the sky as if asking God why. You should react to the music video of Sabaton's "To Hell and Back" where the issue of PTSD is discussed as it applied to Audie Murphy.

My grandmother’s older brother (Harold Brown) was 14 the first time he tried to enlist. After a second failed attempt he finally succeeded in 1918 (still only aged 16), fortunately the war ended not too long afterwards.

But they can get other duties such as technical, medical or sitting in a bunker, like their father did (he's an engineer). But all 18 year olds, girls and boys, will be called here in Sweden. Of course I don't want to see them on the battlefield. On the other hand I will encourage them to do whatever they can for the safety of the Kingdom of Sweden. For our democracy and freedom. For our neighbors and allies, since we now are members of NATO. We have an ongoing war close by, in Europe.

Beautiful reaction, thank you! And here's my obligatory mention of a cool and more than just a little creepy detail for those who know: Around the middle of the video the crowd/parade comes across a lovely early 20th century ecru-coloured convertible that's standing abandoned in the middle of the street. This is the car that *Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria* and his (morganatic) wife *Sophie Chotek, Duchess Hohenberg* bled to death in on the 28th of June 1914 in Sarajevo, touching off what is sometimes poetically called *The Seminal Tragedy* a.k.a.* The July Crisis* which then obviously led to *The Great War,* sometimes referred to, and quiet correctly so, as *The Apocalypse of the Old World.* (If you are reader you can see strong echos of this both in Tolkien's work as well as, in different but equally powerful ways, in H. P. Lovecraft's writings.) This one empty car in a very real sense is the *Pale Horse Conquest* rode in on with *War and Pestilence and Hunger* in it's train. This is the event that effectively triggered the so far most bloody period of human history, the time of the World Wars - and make no mistake, we might call the 21years between the declared World Wars "the interbellum" but the brutal truth is that there where wide stretched of Europe and Asia where there *never was* peace between 1914 and ~1950 - with good reason some historians call this period "The Second 30-Years War". I also feel it's a signifier of the level of knowledge that Sabaton by now has reached in dealing with historical matters, especially when compared to their initial albums. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

I did some researching and found that all the names of the soldiers, knights and Spartans in the end were real people. Many of the soldiers were Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Victoria Cross or Croix de Guerre recipients. The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015. Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War" The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII. Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalayas. Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy). I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII. Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him. As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia. Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.

Times change, it is just inevitable. Yeah, some kids today are what older generations call soft. But kids today did not grow up with the hardships that kids back then did. If you do not experience something for yourself it is hard to understand that hardship. Personally, I would never want my son to have that experience, to have to go into battle because some noble was killed and all of the sudden the world must destroy itself. I want him to be 'soft', not have a hard life and a harder heart. If the price I pay for my son to be alive and healthy is that he gets petulant from time to time because someone said something he didn't like then I will put myself on that altar. I am in my early 50s right not but even in the 70's I did not have the experiences of my mom, who grew up in the 1950s in a sharecropper family. And in their own time, kids today will complain about kids tomorrow. It just happens.
