1: Légion d’Honneur 2: Karađorđe star with swords 3: Légion d’Honneur 4: French Croix de Guerre 5: Miloš Obilić 6: Karađorđe star 7: Russian Cross of St. George 8: British medal of Order of St Michael

[@mmasque2052]

In 1914, in the early days of World War I, Savić was awarded her first Karađorđe Star with Swords after the Battle of Kolubara. She received her second Karađorđe Star (with Swords) after the Battle of the Crna Bend in 1916 when she captured 23 Bulgarian soldiers single-handedly. She was awarded the French Légion d’Honneur (Legion of Honour) twice, as well as the Russian Cross of St. George, the British medal of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael, and the Serbian Miloš Obilić medal. She was the sole female recipient of the French Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 with the gold palm attribute for service in World War I. Do. Not. Make. A. Woman. Angry. Especially. Do. Not. Make. An. Eastern. European. Woman. Angry.

[@dusanradin5868]

You mean" do not make Serbian woman angry"? Good idea!

[@dusanradin5868]

@Narkomancers Па то сам и рекао,јебем те ћорава!

[@milosvojinovic5710]

Well looking geographically, Serbia is South Europe, but I get your point 😊

[@mercenarydelta7351]

As the saying goes: "Hell hath no fury than that of an angry woman"

[@christophersims3319]

Man I totally agree. I’ve been a fan of Sabaton for a very long. But only last couple of years did I realize they are not just a catchy power metal band with a war gimmick. They are like skalds or Bards in olden times singing the deeds of heroes around the fire. They keep our collective story alive. I really believe they should be recognized as more than just a band

[@samnemeth-smyth6109]

There's another bit of Milunka's story that I find impressive too. At one point she captured a group of Bulgarian soldiers, one of who was so impressed by her that after the war, he sent his eldest son, who was in a military academy at the time, to see her so she could teach him how to be a proper soldier.

[@123456782764]

Hello 'OldSkuleNerd' from Serbia. I want to help you better understand the symbolism of the soldier giving her the flag. As a symbol of Serbia's defense, he shows her that she deserves it. Because at that time in Serbia it was illegal for women to participate in battles. He gives her the flag and tells her, "You are a soldier," acknowledging her as his equal. Side by side with the most elite soldiers. Besides, she really took her brother's place. When they came to mobilize him, she secretly registered under the male name of Milun Savić. She cut her hair and put on a man's uniform, also, she was a really big girl. She fought like this for about a year, when in 1913 she was wounded in the chest in the Battle of Bregalnica in the Second Balkan War. At the hospital, they discovered that volunteer Milun Savić is actually a girl. Later, she was still allowed to fight in battles because she had already proven her bravery and skills. She was promoted to the rank of corporal. And in this battle at Kolubara, she was already a sergeant.

[@jelenajm1160]

Milunka Savic was a real-life Wonder Woman deserving of every accolade possible and Sabaton did an amazing job showing her story in this video. As a Serbian woman this video actually brought tears to my eyes.

[@martinawolf9605]

French called her serbian joan of arc ,she awarded French Legion d Hon eur twice,British medal of the most Distiduished Order of St Michael etc.

[@mladenmudrinic6480]

Hvala,ovo je Srbija...kroz istoriju...tudje necemo svoje ne damo..dobro dosli u Srbiju...pozdrav

[@abadaba2812]

Also worth to mention, she was wounded 9 times. And she went to war in place of her brother due for recruitment. While WW1 "officially" began in Sarajevo, Kolubara was also the first allied victory in WW1 that showed allies that victory is possible if small Serbia decimated great Austrian army. Later on, at the end of war Thessalonica/Solun front sealed the faith of Reich, with Serbian infantry 2 days ahead of French calvary fixing south front.

[@phildesnoyers3977]

I still find it crazy that with the Hollywood obsession with strong female heroes that they haven't made a movie about her yet.

[@Katarinad78]

Не хвала, No thanks😉

[@phildesnoyers3977]

@@Katarinad78 You probably have a point they'd just turn her into a man hating monster played by Viola Davis or something.

[@madzec]

It is better they do not touch her, they would just made her not interested in guys and also different skin....... It is better that they does not touch our heroes..... they have their to ruin....

[@Sira_Kackavalj]

It doesnt fit the politics. Or the woke american narrative

[@123456782764]

I quote: (Adolfo Lerito) ''There’s something that everybody should know, in order to better appreciate this song. Serbia before WW1 was inhabited by more or less between 3.4 million people. During the War, the ranks of the Serbian Army swelled up to 712.005 regulars, plus 55.800 Serbian and Montenegrin volunteers from abroad who came back to Serbia as Austria invaded it. Of those men, 402.435 died during the war. Maybe it didn’t register, so I’ll be more specific: between 50% to almost 60% of ALL THE SOLDIERS fighting in the Serbian Army LOST THEIR LIVES during World War One (it’s not clear of those 55.800 volunteers are included in the count or not, hence the fork). If that wasn’t massive enough, another 700.000 to 850.000 Serb civilians died during the course of the war, for a grand total of 1.100.000 to 1.250.000 Serbs dying during World War One on a population of more or less 3.4 to 3.5 million people. That’s roughly ONE THIRD of ALL the population of Serbia dying, between military and civilians, which by the end of the war accounted for a little bit less than HALF of the adult male population, and still is the highest casualty rate for any nation during World War One. This is how much Serbia is worth to Serbs. THIS. And for this, as a foreigner, I can have nothing, and I mean NOTHING but the utmost respect.''

[@kaelynshea5533]

You know, Sabaton makes sure people don't forget, but it is guys like you, who spread the word about these songs and help that these stories stay alive. I am German. I have never heard about this story, although we learned about WW1 a lot and WW2 of course. We cannot forget. So thank Sabaton for making these songs and THANK YOU for sharing them. 🙏

[@MightyMarko]

Greetings good man, your video have made me cry, I'm 24 years old serbian man and no one care about me and my country and our heroes for centuries, and when i see someone reacting to this song or to "last dying breath" my heart became full of happiness because Sabaton made this in order to keep truth and History going through the song, in first world War Serbia have the biggest lost in entire planet by percent, 50% of Man's of entire Serbia died for freedom so we can be free now, long live Heroes! ❤🇷🇸

[@hunterxkiller8732]

i like to think those male war heroes were honored to have this woman be remembered alongside them.

[@leec4563]

Savic actually covered 2 wars, The first Balkan war in 1912 then into the great war....

She was wounded multiple times like nine times when they realized in the hospital she is a woman. After her recovery she was at the briefing in the ten-hut stance and they wanted to transfer her to be a nurse. She asked to be sent back to her regiment. Officer told her ok but i have to ask superiors for permission and response will be in a day. She responded short Ill wait, standing still... Officer let her stand like that for an hour and than he told her to go back to her regiment.

[@The1rust]

The best part about Sabaton isn't just the fact that they write about historically accurate events and people, it isn't even about how they do so without glorifying war. It's their ability to create an emotional bond between the listener and their music by telling a story in five minutes or even sooner with their historic versions no matter how sad or uplifting the subject matter may be which sticks with you. Some you're familiar with, a lot you may not be. They can even make you feel that way about a warship. Twice. They're masters of their craft.

[@jonasthemovie]

Miloš Obilić Medal looks rad.

[@NataschaS195]

Great woman, great story. Merry Christmas from Germany 😊🌲

[@theicyphoenix_7745]

sabaton has brought many stories to life,and as a serbian i can't thank them enough,first they made "last dying breath" and now "lady of the dark". thank you for your reaction,its a bit surprising to find an american know about serbia for any reason other than the fact that nikola tesla was a serbian,cause mostly that seems to be the only reason people hear about us over seas.

I live in Flanders (Ghent)... yes the Flanders from "Flanders fields" ... even we ,in our history lessons, rarely get educated about the (south)eastern front from WW1 . We too have to research ourselves.

[@connydely1460]

I live in Brugge and it is very true, we in Western Europe are not told these stories from the Eastern front either. Such a shame, luckily we have Sabaton to let us know about them.

[@nunogarces1628]

Merry Christmas Richard, wonderful reaction as always. Sabaton doesn't have a History episode for this one yet but you can find Indy's retelling of Milunka Savic' s story in the Great War Channel. They have a great episode about her. Be well my friend. Hug to all the family from Portugal

That's how I know of her and was thrilled when I realized Sabaton wrote a song about her.

I am not sure if you can understand what it means to carry that flag,and who can carry that flag? only the best and bravest. In Serbian history not a single war flag was lost on battlefield, that is long history dating from 7 century AD as modern Serbia.

[@raderadumilo7899]

@@martinawolf9605 Yes and no. She was offered a French pension (and British I think) but she refused them. In the end, she accepted a small apartment allotted to her by government, after the WWII. In the second season of "Shadows over Balkan" (a.k.a. Black Sun) one of the characters was inspired by her. The character was depicted at living in back then an infamous shoddy area of Belgrade, which was actually near to where she actually lived after both WWI and WWII.

[@archabe]

We don't learn about these stories in Europe either. Unless our country is involved directly we only learn about key moments in the grand scale of things. Our countries are so old that even huge events like WW1 is almost treated like footnotes. As a swede its even worse since we were fortunate enough to avoid all wars post 1814 (sorry Norway). I think I know a lot more about the battles during the 30year war than any specific battle in WW1 or 2. I would celebrate 200+ years of peace If it wasn't paid for with the blood of our neighbour's.

[@007Marke]

Ballad of Bull is a good one for that. I don't know many people outside of Sabaton fans and even few historians who know his story. One of my favourite Sabaton songs. Maybe one day they will write a song about the Rats of Tobruk, their story is pretty fucking impressive as well.

You should check out a little unknown American band called March in Arms they revolve around history just like Sabaton but also American patriotism.. They have a very good music video called Ashes which is dedicated to service members and their families.. They're sort of like a cross of Five Finger Death Punch, Iced Earth but lean more towards the power metal side..

[@dakotathehydra3538]

with that many metals that is so awsome she was a hero

[@milomirglisic7704]

Milunka Savić joined the army instead of her brother. at that time women could not be soldiers. She skillfully disguised herself as a woman until she was wounded the third time. when they bandaged her, they saw that she was female. She was wounded a total of 9 times. After the war, France offered to live and be an honorary citizen of France, she refused and remained living a modest life in Serbia.
