[@argantyr5154]

Yevdokiya Yakovlevna Rachkevich (The Commissar of the Nightwitches) is that kind of person, you would follow to hell and back. The fact that she went to find every chrash site of the Nightwishes shows decication.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

The definition of leadership

[@Azraeltheangelofdeath]

Yeah, but the same time it was also because of order No. 270 which stated every soldier of the soviet union who is declared a POW or MOA is to be considered guilty of collaboration with Axis forces until proven innocent, usually by finding their remains, since legally under that order all soldiers of the red army were expected to fight to the death and never to surrender to the enemy similar to order 227 except that order specifically refereed to retreating without approval from command, the night witches commissar wanted to clear the names of those who died in combat since until their bodies were found they were considered traitors under order 270

[@hazelangus]

@@Azraeltheangelofdeath That's fucked up. Ever heard Roads to Moscow by Al Stewart? Amazing song and probably involves that order or something similar to it. The fellow in the song wasn't even a POW but he was caught behind German limes and let go. It's very Russian. My partner's a bit of a military history buff - he's told me that when the Russians made an infantry charge, only every other soldier had a rifle. They expected that a lot of them would be instantly massacred, so the unarmed ones were supposed to pick up the rifles from their dead or injured fellow soldiers. Any who turned back would be immediately shot.

[@SapFeaRon]

@@hazelangus no, that's a crap from call of duty 1. Yes, i played that mission. No, it's lie. USSR had more then enough rifles for every soldier. Problem was not rifles - problem was automatic weapons, something germans had in great numbers while most of soviets were armed with bolt actions and maybe 1 ppsh for commisar/commander/LT. Please do not study history by playing call of duty.

[@hazelangus]

@@SapFeaRon Never played call of duty in my life. Neither has my partner, who was the one who told me.

[@minotaurforge]

Imagine a history teacher that plays sabaton every day for class lol

[@TailcoatGames]

They’re is a history teacher with a KZbin channel who reacts to a lot of sabaton songs

[@Zabiru-]

@@TailcoatGames Indeed : Mr. Terry History is the name of the channel iirc

[@Templarofsteel88]

man, I wish I had a history teacher like that.

[@minotaurforge]

@@Templarofsteel88 well we all do in a way now its osn lol

[@TiTAN_0917]

My brother goes to a Christian school so most of the music you hear is Christian. He and his friend convinced their teacher The Last Stand by Sabaton was a Christian song and she played it in class. I was jealous cause I just graduated from there last year and would've loved to experience that.

[@marcusviniciusmagalhaesdea3779]

You are a single dad of tree girls?! You are the true hero here man. Hats off.

[@shaxow1142]

I can only imagine how many times he's been called a pedophile because he gave x DNA it's normally crazy everytime in public

[@NatashaAvtonomova]

Вечная память павшим героиням и героям !🌹

[@vinograd74]

The word "Rodina" used in the text of the song is the english spelling of russian word Rodina with emphasis on "o". And the word Rodina means Homeland if translated to English.

[@mdejesus91890]

You learn something new everyday. Thank you.

[@Sergei_Agarkoff]

Homeland, Motherland, Fatherland... choose on your own

[@MrRandyMike]

@@Sergei_Agarkoff motherland is correct one

[@melissainge218]

It is the Motherland….. when looking deeper into translation…. It means to beget…. To birth …..

[@Sergei_Agarkoff]

@@melissainge218 may be you're right. Some word doesn't exists cross-language, and we often can'r "just translate", we must to rephrase and to explain. The word "rodina" in Russian is of feminine gender, but it can be replaced with fatherland's synonym, which is of neuter gender... You could see the Soviet placates showing mature woman with sword, and with writing "Родина-Мать зовёт!". But this wriing can't be translated literally: "Motherland-the-your-Mother calls for you" - two "mothers" in one sentence is too much.

[@Maks_Morkovkin]

У полка полковника Бершанской была необычная тактика. Вылетало основное звено и провокатор. Звено занимало высоту и ждало. Подставной самолет наносил удар и уходил. Соответственно, силы ПВО начинали работать и демаскировали себя. Звено глушили двигатели и тихо снижались. Сбросив бомбы они запускали двигатели и уходили. За то что атакуют тихо и из темноты их и прозвали "ночные ведьмы"

[@АндрейВыголов-э6к]

По-2 единственный самолет который атаковать мог из засады...как говорили немцы...."Густавы появлялись из за кустиков"

[@lakelili]

As a mom, it is important for me to ensure that my son sees this. Our sons need to know what our daughters are capable of. Love this band!

[@suzonlommel3737]

When I first heard Sabaton, I thought not for me. Then Night Witches, I've been addicted since.

[@dogofwar4914]

It doesn't matter how often I watch the video with the history parts at the end i always cry a little .

[@Sergei_Agarkoff]

And it is normal. All of us are humans, and we have at least one emotion which is absent in other animals: we can co-feel, sympathize, empathize to the pain of other human.

[@cholatse6745]

Single dad of three daughters - respect. Your attitude toward the power of your daughters and the power of the ladies in general - double respect ✊️ and yes, Sabaton does a great job in war history, beneath that, this are just great songs.

[@Vollion]

Bro, everyone says "I won't cry!" ... and cry)) Probably because we are people and we have feelings. So all is not lost yet. Peace and calm sky to you. From Russia with hope.

[@Warwick3511]

Another advantage of the planes was that they did not need large prepared runways just flying from paddocks.

[@bobburris4445]

As a fellow history nerd, I highly recommend ERB Oppenheimer vs Thanos purely for the way they portray Oppenheimer.

[@erikdahlgren6656]

These women were metal as hell!🤘🤘

[@workloadspd]

Adding that the 588 was the most highly decorated female unit in the Soviet Air Force by the end of the war. They also chose to fly without parachutes in favor of carrying more payload, stripped their planes to the bare minimum to make them as light as possible, had no defensives other than a handgun and most of the times the pilots and crew suffered from frost burns during their missions.

[@Wandererdown]

There's a tabletop RPG about the Night Witches that apparently tells their story fairly well.

[@melissainge218]

Hey what is that game? This is gonna by my grandsons first metal concert with his GiGi. … just need to ask the daughter in law …… my son can kiss all my ass!!!!!!

[@TheAviationGuyID]

@@melissainge218 what the

[@jonnyberggren4598]

Omg what an emotional ride. And what amazingly brave women... I didn't fix not crying... Single dad one daughter...

[@selonianth]

What this video doesn't cover is that sometimes the bomb dropping mechanism would freeze or lock up and one of the girls would have to basically wingwalk over to force the bombs to let go or simply abort altogether.

[@Medley3000]

14:35 In fact, they were armed with a machine gun. The armament was: One machine gun and up to six 50 kg bombs. But the plane engine had insufficient power of only just 125 hp. Top speed was only 150 km/h ! P.S. 13:10 Veteran pilot Nadezhda Popova on one occasion flew eighteen missions in a single night! P.P.S. She awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for completing 737 sorties! P.P.P.S. 12:14 The german fighter is Oberfeldwebel (Staff Sergeant) Josef Kociok in his night fighter Messerschmitt Bf110. He shoot down three Night Witches planes in the night of July 31st 1943.

[@tomicbranislav3]

yea but that was a rear facing last ditch defense gun not an offensive weapon..... Navigator would be the one using it to cover the planes six

[@user-1982.Konstantin]

Друг, тебе нужно посмотреть фильм " А зори здесь тихие". Серьёзно. Этот фильм был номинирован на Оскар, как лучший фильм на иностранном языке. / Friend, you need to watch the movie "And the dawns are quiet here." Seriously. This film was nominated for an Oscar as the best film in a foreign language.

[@Tomoesong]

Loved the movie.

[@Navy89SEALs]

I was just about to comment about Sabaton History Channel when suddenly, ~deep voice whispering~ "You know they got a history channel" 🤣🤣

[@nancynocella5941]

I cried, wow that was awesome. I have never heard of them. Very impressive.

[@vladimirnikolic2003]

Same here.

[@gpayne082379]

This is such a cool story! I will be showing this to my daughter tonight, she will love it!

[@99Knytes]

Got me remembering Disturbed's "Indestructible" music vid; the end has a female soldier charging an enemy attacker guns blazing. Gives me chills each time.

[@guykanui1609]

I cannot lie my eyes welted up I like sabaton🤘🤘

[@aprilvoecks5877]

Another one where the Russians are the heroes is Attack of the Dead Men. WWI era, from the album The Great War. If you do a double reaction, do the cover by Readio Tapok. Before the album came out, Sabaton went to him and had him cover the song and released it FIRST, before the original song got released. (I'm told they had him on stage with them during at least some of their Russia shows in the Great War tour.) Edited to fix typo.

[@teamgodmode7197]

Oh heck yeah, first one here 😂 but while I'm here....CAAAAANVAS WINGS OF DEATH!!!

[@Menhtrol]

Then the Winged Hussars Arrived... Could not help my self 😄

[@mickoldbear3008]

Great response, killer band.. I got into them after finding Floor Jansen and nightwish...i read in another reaction that Hannes upset the Nightwish fans somewhat when he went to pick up Floor fron a gig... Why you may ask.... He picked her up in one of the two tanks that sabaton have/use and blocked the car park.... I don't know if it's true or not, but man.... That's a class act if it is...🤘🤘🤘

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I remember someone pointing out that their most devastating and successful weapon wasn't even the bombs they carried. At only 50kg each they didn't actually do that much damage (at least, not devastating damage to the entire camp compared to what a "modern" bomber could do at that time). No, their weapon was far more terrifying than that - psychological warfare. Imagine you're a German, you're already completely exhausted from a day or more of marching and hard fighting. You're miserable, tired out of your mind, everything keeps freezing - like the water in your canteen - and it's a struggle to stay warm. And then you can't even settle down for a decent night of undisturbed sleep because you never know if you're next in the Night Witches crosshairs - even if you're not it's not exactly easy to sleep soundly with that axe hanging over your head. And if you ARE their target, well since they performed multiple sorties often on the same encampment in a row in a single night you basically got NO peace or sleep the rest of that night, if you were lucky enough to even survive (because sure, the bombs were small compared to what the bigger bombers were dropping, but they'd still easily take YOU out trying to run for cover). Then add to that a new day of hard labour, marching and exhaustive fighting both enemy and terrain .... only to have to repeat the entire process again the following night. It must have been absolute torture on a scale I can't even imagine - and I don't think I even want to try!

[@jemrockton]

That last scene makes my tear up nearly every time I see it. And really every time gives me goosebumps.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

You saw I did too lol DAMN sabaton almost got me

[@Sergei_Agarkoff]

I doubt if Rashkevich sees younger herself among the Sabatoners, or she see the specific girl downed at this place...

[@aronnemcsik]

I'm not crying..... just intensely sweating through my eyes

[@michaelnolan6951]

Love that Sabaton dropping history bombs! "Night Bomber Regiment 588!"

[@Nem01]

That the commissar took it on herself to find the crashside of each of 'her girls' that was downed always gets me.

[@brianmentzel2637]

I'm a geek, and never heard about the 'Night Witches' until Saboton. They know their stuff...

[@ForgottenHonor0]

I love how Sabaton brings to light these awesome moments in history that we don't often hear about or are glossed over in contemporary history books. And they don't hold back, even when it comes to the really uncomfortable and controversial points!

[@charliefoxtrott1048]

Sabaton Live: been there, done that, need more... more, more, MORE!! It´s addictive!

[@GoldCraft55]

Never been at a live consert with Sabaton...but I want to!

[@pierresoder7671]

Greetings from Sweden. There is no shame in crying.

[@helheimx]

I think the oldest battle they portray is the spartans last stand at Thermopylae (or how ever it is spelled).

Night witches is my favorite song by sabaton because it's a heavier song and I love it because I've never even heard of them until sabaton. I just need them to come to Colorado 🤘

[@brittjannesath2539]

Loved your double reaction of Sabaton. We need more of them😁😁 Next Sabaton i can recommend Gott mit uns. Lyrics about: The antagonists meet on 7 September 1631 on the open field near the village of Breitenfeld, outside Leipzig. The battle becomes the biggest of the Thirty Years' War. Gustavus Adolphus and the Swedish army, with Saxon reinforcements, face the Imperial army, which is accustomed to victory, under the command of General Tilly. The Swedes go into battle under the war cry Gott Mit Uns - "God With Us". (This motto will later be handed down: first to the Prussian army, and later to the German army during World War I and finally to the Wehrmacht in World War II, when the motto is embossed on the soldiers' belt buckles. And If you want to check out an awsome cover of this song, Feuerschwanz has a killer cover. (since you love easy pronounced names) 😂😂

[@bauglirbah]

That formation or the idea and then disbelief of them cutting off their engines was definitely the sort of reaction I ended up here for! This story is so cool.

[@seregamolodets5286]

🍅🍅🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 УРА YPA YPA ! !! I am Russian and I cried .

[@masonwilliams1345]

They would also sometimes have to climb onto the wing to manually release their bombs. In the dead of night in Russian winter. They also chose to not fly with parachutes to save on weight. If their plane went up it was an almost guaranteed death.

[@TheStedomi]

Sabaton is epic, and this song is even more epic

[@ForgottenSqueack]

I remember when I heard Sabaton for the first time. It was a live concert back in the early 2006 and they were supporting Edguy together with Dragonforce. They weren't that famous as they're today nor hadn't they released their Attero Dominatus at that time.

[@Erling_Swe]

they have boxes marked 7.62 kaliber mic stmds

[@mondshein8092]

Sabaton Stage = Battlefield!!! They have a tank for the drummer and The Red Baron Albatros D.III for the keyboard. All that is left behind is Battleships. Hope they build one soon.

[@sergsilvestr1217]

Thanks. Amazing story, great music, perfect screen configuration. Good luck!

[@drogadowolnosci6085]

Awesome! Seeing Sabaton for the first time! I am so jealous of you! It is one of the most epic experiences! You are going to have a blast! We hope to hear everything about that experience!

[@Manonsilvermountain]

Feeling so lucky that the last concert I went to was Sabaton, just before world was taken by Covid.

[@greaper1976]

Thanx for doing both videos! This was awesome! and my Night Witches shirt is on the way. This story is just sooooo awesome!

[@dysfunctionalgamingveteran7753]

The hero's album has a bunch of songs with amazing story's that I didn't know about.

[@fifi23o5]

There were even female fighter and bomber pilots. There were at least two fighter aces, the most known is Lidia Litvyak, aka White Lilly. Bomber crews flew Pe-2, which was very heavy on controls at take off, and, since women were not strong enough to pull the yoke, navigator had to lift herself from her seat and pulled the pilot by her shoulders, to help her.

[@ЛюдмилаАбдулина-ы7ф]

Благодарю Вас за выбор песни, и за Вашу реакцию. Про российских женщин говорят: коня на скаку остановит, в горящую избу войдет.

[@РепРепс]

Good day. In fact, there were three women's regiments in the Red Army, 586, 587 and 588. That is why 588 had less experienced girls. The most experienced girls fought in modern fighters and armored bombers. The girls voluntarily gave up parachutes in order to be able to take the maximum weight of the bombs. Thanks.

[@dirmusloner7963]

Marina Raskova Yevdokiya Bershanskaya Was commanders of night witches. Another fact is that night witches flew their missions WITHOUT PARACHUTES. Except that they flew at night without ANY modern organs, so they find their way using flashlights maps compasses etc. SALUT TO 588 NIGHT BOMBER REGIMENT

So please stop mentioning that. For the sake of the family. Also, I love you!

[@erikglascoe6981]

they should do a song about the white rose of stalingrad....

[@VegetaLF7]

Contact them and make the suggestion. They're always looking for new subjects to make songs on. Many of their songs are picked from fan suggestions telling them about stories they didn't know about previously

[@stevenjohansen3827]

Next round of Sabaton do Primo Victoria(remember the name of their boat in Bismarck) andif you want to double up on it also check out Van Canto's cover of Primo Victoria(Joakim even joins them).

Oh btw Hero of the Soviet Union is equal to Medal of Honor. 12777 Heroes of the soviet union. 90 women. 2 of tank regiments (Commander and Driver from two separated regiments), 35 Airforce members (23 from Night witcher regiments + 5 dive bomber regiment members on Petljakov Pe-2 under the same command, 7 others), rest of them from Rifle and Guard regiments, mostly medical personal, snipers. 3 of them were Navy medics. 3507 Medals of Honor. One woman during Civil war. I Know that Russian numbers are 4 times higher but remember... They turned 40 milion+ people into active military service just during WWII, most of them saw any combat at least once.

I knew about female soviet snipers, but I never knew about the female soviet airmen. Sabaton has awaken me to so many stories not known, sometimes pushed aside other times plain forgotten. With the old USSR, likely both at the general time.

This band is never anything but epic. For some reason the chicken hawks who make fun of women in the military ignore the Russian women who fought in WWII. I've seen this video three times and tear up every time. Another of their animated videos is No Bullets Fly affects me the way Bismarck did you because my father was a gunner on a bomber in WWII.
