Sabaton -1916!! Emotional Reaction to this beautiful Tribute!!

[@DaffyDill-zg8no]

I lost my grandfather and 2 uncles here. I live in Lancashire. We remember their names. 2nd world war claimed my father and 3 uncles....my father`s brothers were 16, 18 and 19. War impacts on every human being and yet leaders are still inflicting them on the world. I am old and I don`t expect to see peace in my lifetime. I can only hope my great grandchildren will witness world peace. Your reaction shows great respect and humanity. Thank You/

My grandfather fought in the Somme but was MIA.

[@MrSapperb3]

Burnley lad here (a town in Lancashire as mentioned in the video for those who don’t know), practically every northern town (my own included) was absolutely destroyed, an entire generation of men lost in the trenches, absolutely insane to think of. I lost 2 of my relatives on the first day of the Somme too. Need to do some more research but I’ve got a relative who works for the CWGC who’s done most of it for us

[@Tyberos-r3h]

Lancashire here (Accrington) both great grandfathers were at the somme one died the other wounded, losing his left eye very emotional song but a fantastic tribute least we forget.

[@FirstImpressionswithAngie]

I am so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing your intimate experience your family went through, and how it has affected you. Love and Light!

As people have mentioned, this is a cover of a Motörhead song. The two guys standing at the door opening at 6:54 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead. The picture at 7:00 is of Lemmy Kilmister who was the bassist and singer of Motörhead, the guy holding it is Eddie Rocha who was the tour manager for Motörhead and the current one for Sabaton.

Sabaton has won awards for being educators of the public, not music award, academic ,not much money but quite a bit of prestige

[@FirstImpressionswithAngie]

That is absolutely incredible, and so they should!! What a way to learn about, or brush up on your history with this awesome band! Love & Light!

[@UnsoberIdiot]

They're still "our side good, their side bad" sort of "educators".

[@najroe]

@@UnsoberIdiot uhm, depends on the subject, final solution, definitely not positive, then you have ghost division Praising the germans panzer during the invasion of Belgium and France, then uprising again for the polish against the nazi, then hearts of iron praise for the German... so no real side except for when most would say it is fairly clearly not good. like in Father, there they ask, sinner or saint, as Fritz Haber was very much involved in horrid chemical warfare, but also invented a process for making synthetic nitrogen fertiliser thus feeding half the world today...

[@bb-ballistics1706]

​​@@UnsoberIdiothow do you figure that out. They sing about the good in German pilot of in no bullets fly. They sing about how good the red Barron is. They sing about how good the German "ghost division" was. 1916 is about both sides and all soldiers throughout history. Bismarck about the Germany navy and the Bismarck. And songs about "by kings in and queens young men are sent to die in war, the words of propaganda we've heard before"

[@anime4life209]

the one commenter i saw say in another reaction to this song, said he talked to a survivor of this battle/war who said he saw this happen. there was a soldier who fell next to him who did that and he can remember his screams slowly get quieter and quiter, calling for his mother the entire time, until he eventually just stopped and he died from his injuries. it was something the poor guy never could forget and was forever burned into his memory.

[@maxvanamstel1821]

Thank you for the dignified response to this sad masterpiece. I can't watch 'Christmas Truth' and '1916' without crying, both because of the beauty of the music and the horror of war. If you want to regain some trust in humanity after this, listen to 'No Bullets Fly.' This piece will also make you cry, but this time it's because of the beauty of humanity

[@najroe]

No bullets fly is certainly heartwarming. Another is Balld of Bull, giving deserved praise for the soldier that carried 18 wounded to safety through a virtual barrage of enemy fire sent his way.

[@FirstImpressionswithAngie]

Thank you for watching!! Oh yes, No Bullets Fly was so heartwarming and emotional! I received a comment thanking me for my reaction on this video about her father Ms Stiegel! I told he I was so honored!!

[@FirstImpressionswithAngie]

Oh my, I will definitely put this on my “to react to” list!! Thank you for this suggestion! Love and Light!!

[@UnsoberIdiot]

Isn't "No Bullets Fly" about rescuing a bomber crew? Ie a partaker of one of the most heinous parts of the wars- the bombing of civilians?

[@michaelries1328]

I am a german and my grandgrandpa was there. I knew him but he never talked about that. He only said to me when I was a young kid: War is terrible. You must do what you must have to do. And he started crying.

As a British Army Veteran. This poem always is said at the Remembrance Day Parade. At the 11th Hour. On the 11th day Of the 11th Month. We Will Remember them. They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old. Age will not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. Least we Forget

[@perskeles100]

[@Northman-from-the-North]

The lyrics were written by the mastermind Lemmy from Motörhead, and I am sure he would nod and give his approval. This song is filled with metaphors from many sabaton songs.

[@gryphonosiris2577]

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 Himalaya. 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.

Another master piece even though it´s a cover Next stop. Some Sabaton live. Swedish Pagans, live at Wacken 2019. They use both stages at the same time. One with former members and one with current members. AND Tina Guo on cello. (She also plays at the end on this song) It´s an amazing performance.

I watched you cry, and I saw this when it first came out, I read it as a poem on Remembrance Day at a service, and I have listened to it more times than I can even count, but your tears brought mine back. Thank you for showing your heart. War is hell, yet we as a race keep doing it. Young and older men are sent to die for someone else's agenda. When will we, as a race grow up? Lenny wrote it, Sabaton brought it to life.

A solemn reminder that even with all the conflicts constantly in the news… after WW2… it currently the most peaceful era of humanity in history. Our conflicts are petty by comparison and we shouldn’t wish war upon even our worst modern adversaries. A real war with modern weaponry would absolute destruction and we would have thrown away the peace that millions of lives were sacrificed for.

[@helenesvanborg6234]

I really love this song with Sabaton, even if it's a cover (tribute). But it could have been their own song because this is what they do. And they're doing it amazing! Warhistory in music 🎶 I have learned a lot from Sabaton 🤘 Thank you for this awesome reaction 🤩💥

they actally had to make a second attempt at the somme and it resulted in nearly just as many deaths. i believe it topped around 800,000 for both sides by the end of it. the allies took it, but it was still a slaughter-fest and also on the the top 10 for worst battles in terms of loss of life of history in a single battle. the Fields of Verdun, also covered by Sabaton, was close to 1 million too.

[@najroe]

my second comment kn this, i have a list of Sabaton videos that you can check out. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 100 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . another thing Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly (emotional) Night witches (girl power) Lady of the dark (again Girl power) Red baron first soldier Epic ORIGINAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 you just saw. these are just some, there are plenty more.
