SABATON - Bismarck Official Music Video | REACTION!!!

[@jonashansson2320]

If you want to get your feet wet in Sabaton history I have some combination songs/history videos that are from the top shelf. And I hope you do check them out, those videos are extremely well made and entertaining, 15-20 minutes of mostly the history but also a short talk with the band about the song itself. "Attack of the dead men" is my second favourite combination. A great song and a truly bizarre story to go with it. "Ghost division" is also a great pair. A great song (obviously) and the story is also something extra. "Price of a mile" is my favourite, but definately not everyones... Probably my favourite song from them, but a warning should be made, you will not walk away with a smile from that one. And the history video is equally good (and disturbing..).

[@Bonovin]

Yes yes yes ! Sabaton historycannel with Indy Nidell !! Greetings from nwAse Sweden

[@emiliajojo5703]

No bullets fly,the animated story will blow your mind.

[@TimoArula]

The "Bismarck" , and his sister ship "Tirpitz", were the 2 largest battleships ever built in Europe (250 meters long, 36 meters wide, and displacing more than 50.000 tones) and they were the pride of the kriegsmarine (Germany's military navy) during Ww2. The "Bismarck" set sail in May 1941 to reach the Atlantic and destroy merchant convoys, but he was intercepted by the British and during a brief fight, destroyed the former flagship of the British fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, the worldwide famous battlecruiser "Hood", by penetrating her armor and detonating her aft main ammunition magazine and killing all 1900 members of her crew except for 3 men, and heavily damaged the battleship "Prince of Wales". This enraged the prime minister Winston Churcil who ordered all his ships in the Atlantic to abandon their operations and destroy the Bismarck. In total more than 40 ships participated to the hunt, making it the biggest naval hunt in history. Meanwhile Bismarck, who had received a hit during the first battle, was leaking fuel and was trying to reach the French port of Saint Nazaire, in occupied France, for repair. After 6 days of playing cat and mouse with the British, Bismarck was attacked by airplanes launched from the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal" and hit by a torpedo in the stern, which jammed his rudders during evasive maneuvers, meaning that he was forced to sail in circles, just a few miles away from reaching air cover. In the end battleships "King George V" and "Rodney", along side the heavy cruisers "Norfolk" and "Dorsedshire" fought the already doomed battleship and, during the following 90 minutes completely destroyed it. However, despite having all his guns destroyed, and having received more than 400 hits (out of the 2800 shells that the British had fired at it) his armor was still mostly intact and the ship was still afloat. So the British launched another 4 torpedoes and he disappeared beneath the waves. After inspection of the wreck however it had been discovered that the torpedoes did no significant damage thanks to the battleship's excellent armor, and that Bismarck had been scuttled by his crew (although it should be noted that many historians believe that it would have eventually sunk due to the damage received). Of the 2200 men that served on it, only 114 survived. The old man seen in the video is the son of the last survivor, who died in 2018, 1 year before this song was released Nuff Said !!!! 🤘😎🤘.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

We checked out the story of the Tirpitz over on ETS21 what a story that was!

[@frednone]

Not really arguing your points. just want to point out due to the impact and slide down the seamount that is its final resting place not much below the armor belt still exists, so there is nothing existing of the lower hull to show torpedo hits.

[@TimoArula]

@@frednone Good to know, Thanks !!!

[@HerrWarmduscher]

During the final battle of the Bismarck, the polish destroyer ORP Piorun was one of the ships involved in the chase. During this battle, the destroyer in question caught up with the Bismarck and drew her fire, while the Royal Navy battleships HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney caught up after the torpedo attack had disabled the Bismarck's rudder. She drew fire by attacking the Bismarck and signaling the phrase "I AM A POLE" over the radio and possibly with her lights, at least once and reportedly repeatedly during the engagement, while firing every weapon on board up to and including her anti-aircraft guns and possibly even the crew's small arms. None of the ships scored hits, and the Piorun retreated after a shell from the Bismarck hit 20 yards ahead, but remained in the area until she ran out of fuel.

[@amygoodson-catlady]

The Sabaton History Channel is fantastic! Filled w 10-20min episodes that give you a deep dive the sories they tell with their songs! Many reactors add them into their channel uploads! Learning stuff is cool again!!

[@trinadawn4166]

Night Witches is really cool ! and No Bullets Fly will warm your heart

[@jillryan6643]

Their history channel is awesome

[@AriasandtheNATION]

100% it rocks

[@johncrwarner]

For a ship that was fully operational for eight days - eight days though having been commissioned five years before it is a remarkable tale. The British were gunning for this flagship of the Kriegsmarine from day one.

[@ToasWower494]

Sabaton is the perfect mix of silly and serious, i mean, they sing stuff like that, and yet on a podcast... " So the first one is... Does sabaton... and theen let's see what we got here... " " Does sabaton own a tank " " no... *We got two.* "

[@zsadist8111]

Yes, definitely would love to see you do both the video as well as the video on the song from their history channel!!

[@richardgoddard37]

Their history channel is extremely good, and very very interesting.

[@rianavermeulen4316]

Amazing Sabaton ❤❤❤❤

[@majbrat]

Sabaton, out here giving teachers awesome tools to spark interest in historical facts and stories. A way to make their lessons memorable and fun. Tell every teacher you know! Honestly, the sentiment, "Kest We Forget" has been forgotten by our generations. So many songs about scoring sex, useless violence, petty relationships, and even about nothing at all are flooding our airwaves, while others are writing songs of substance like these guys.

[@Swift926]

Bismarck made one huge mistake they sank HMS Hood killing all but 3 people and that triggered churchill to send the entire British fleet to hunt and destroy the Bismarck

[@dennisthemenace671]

Next song , Screaming Eagles , about the 101st Airborne at the battle of the Bulge.

[@michaelnolan6951]

I love this music video! All the lyrics, background sounds, stuff on the walls, and video effects are 100% historically accurate. The ships of the Royal Navy which cornered and hammered her are all shown accurately - you can recognise their silhouettes. It still tickles me that the Fairey Swordfish - an open cockpit biplane - was the RNs standard carrier based torpedo bomber from 1934 to 1945! You will certainly want to check out the Yarnhub animated story videos with Sabaton, (Night Witches, No Bullets Fly etc.) I freaking love Sabaton for being both history nerds and metalheads.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

I agree about the ships. I wish they had included King George V too in the battle scene and not just Rodney.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

This was EPIC!

[@carolinestirland3126]

Understatement daniel keep on with sabaton

[@iKvetch558]

Definitely post reacts to the videos from Sabaton History...Indy Neidell and his team is one of the best around.

[@chriso6719]

A stand alone single released in 2019, this video was made in conjunction with Wargaming, the company that makes the World of Warships game. The name painted on the boat they went out on is Primo Victoria. That is the name of the first Sabaton album released, the title track is about D-Day at Normandy. The Capt of their boat is the son of the last survivor of the Bismarck.

[@pancentricism]

Don't think that you have reacted to their song Christmas Truce official video yet. You might be saving it for Xmas. When you watch it make sure you watch all the way through to the end of the credits. You might recognise the voice singing over the credits

[@trinadawn4166]

i concur

[@jackbarnes8037]

For H.M.S Hood 🇬🇧🏴‍☠️🇬🇧☠️🇬🇧👍

[@miafranlund6982]

Here we are again. I really enjoy watching you discover the epic portfolio of Sabatons music. Please check out the history cause it's amazing stories worthy of a reaction.

[@MegaDog555]

sabaton history channel is fun

[@R---66---R]

Well said, Sir! Well said... Excactly the thoughts I had with 'experiencing' this huge great band from Sweden...always chills!

[@najroe]

YES to the Sabaton history channel, we may learn something. as to telling history through music, why do you think kings/emperors... of old had royal bards/poets writing poems and songs about battles... well written lyrics stick in the mind and are easy to remember.

[@trinadawn4166]

This is so catchy, it hums in my head, and made me go to their history channel and beyond for more ww2 info

[@merryrose6788]

Your comments, about how important history is, are right on. Too many times, history has been turned to social studies, turned to nothing (paraphrased from Ken Burns). Where I was raised, we learned lots of history, with teachers who loved to teach it. So, history has always been fascinating to kids with this background. Other kids got teachers who didn't want to teach history, and thus the kids didn't like it. Sabaton is opened portals with their songs, making it easy to learn parts of history, and creating interest in learning more. As for other songs, I'm sure you've been asked to react to "To Hell and Back," based on Audie Murphy's autobiography of his WW2 combat experiences, and subsequent Post Traumatic Stress (which I don't think is a disorder, but a natural and sane reaction to the horrors of war). Also, Wolfpack is a great song too!

[@duncanbarker1885]

I think you are ready for the Nanowar of Steel rabbit hole. Pasadena 1994

[@nancy.dave.williams]

The man acting as the boat captain is the grandson of the captain of the Bismarck Amazing

[@Murvelhund]

Sabaton history is amazing, you get the history as well as more insight about the song.

[@BigzampanoXXL]

I love Joakim as a singer. Nevertheless they have Multitalent Tommy Johansson....two great singers...

[@andyohil7465]

Yes ‼️ Great choice… Greetings from Middle Germany Next one: Christmas Truce

[@wolverine669]

Some other "history lesson" bands are NILE, their songs are about egyptian history and mythology and then there's Ex Deo, who's about the history of Roman empire

[@Wotsefaqq]

Note that German WWII ships were addressed as HE as opposed to the other navy’s in the world (and still now as ships are addressed as she/female) The Marineführung (Navy Lead) made this decision just to be different and Sabaton perfectly picked it up.

[@duncanwyer2460]

🇬🇧 Norfolk : History with a beat 😊 This is the way history should be taught in schools

[@MegaDog555]

all ready a classic 🐕

[@vlinder6329]

An unbelievable one Music Video, by the Movie you better understand what it's all about.... Awesome 🚢💥 The actor who played the captain on the ship, was the Son of that actual young sailor that survived the sinking of the Bismarck. Have I Heard on their History Channel. Sabaton is known fur such details. I always say SABATON are my history books 📚 and there are teachers at school who show these videos to the pupils. Thanks my friend Sabaton & Nightwish are my favourites 🖤🤘

[@thsmuller]

The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting on her keel at a depth of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft), about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. 48°10′N 16°12′W,

[@ukchris64]

Oh by all means check out thier history channel, I love rock music and these are right up there with the very best, that fact they did this collaboration with World of Warships (there is a video on how this was all made) well worththe watch. Alos check out 1916, and challenge yourself not to shed a tear at that one.

[@warbear323]

Now that you have a little Sabaton under your belt, you should react to the solo stuff from one of their guitarists, Tommy Johansson (the one who looks like he could be a teenager). I attended my first ever Sabaton concert last fall in Salt Lake City. During the show, Joakim (the lead singer) relinquished vocal duties to Tommy for (IIRC) a version of AC/DC's Highway to Hell. I had no idea that Tommy could sing, let alone sing so well. He has lots of videos on his YT channel, but one of the best (IMHO) is his recent rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. It is a must see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqTFiKekq8qNidk

[@jacquisampson-marat5277]

Not gonna push it as many others have told you yes to the Sabaton History Channel...however; I would suggest that you react to both the song and the history on their channel about that song. Heads up though hun.... some of them are pretty raw. They don't take sides just tell it like it was. Enjoy

[@micromachinist3419]

As I've seen someone else say about Sabaton, they're modern day bards.

[@busher69]

Another outstanding reaction to another outstanding Sabaton take on history. The Brits did a movie in 1960 called"SINK THE BISMARCK". It's obviously outdated but it still captures the urgency the Brits had in sinking the Bismarck. During the early years of the war, England was dependent on ship convoys from America and Canada to keep her going. Bismarck was on her way to raise hell on those convoys before they could reach England. What the Sailors went through on both the HMS Hood and the Bismarck during the battle is unspeakable. My shipmates and I served on an American destroyer during the Viet Nam war. We fired over 20,000 rounds off the coast of North and South Viet Nam. When we were up North, we took fire almost every night from coastal defense gun sites. Most of the time the rounds hit the water 100 + yards away. Other times, they hit way to close. General Quarters - Battle Stations Alarm is NO SH.T. Your mouth gets dry and your butt gets tighter then a bulls ass in fly season. Fair Winds and Following Seas to all the Sailors out there. . . . . Tin Can Sailors Do It In Rough Seas

[@andrewwebb3248]

If your looking for history you can't go wrong with Sabaton history. They are very much the modern bards who are telling stories of the past. I'd also recommend The Fat Electrician for American history. His early stuff is mostly centered around American military and what the units are, his newer long form stuff going into lesser known figures. Highly recommend "The most gangster politician, Cassius Clay".

[@gabrielstrong2186]

The Sabaton History videos are usually a bit long to do a real reaction to, But absolutely watch them they are fascinating as well as informative

[@Stephanie-lm7sp]

Yes!!!! Check out their channel. Its super popular in some US school districts on free periods, lunches etc. My nephews are def fans.

[@ceciellepeters4696]

The song Resist and bite is amazing

[@davidclarke7122]

If you are interested in the first (and last) voyage of the Bismarck, watch The movie "Sink the Bismarck".

[@trinadawn4166]

check it out!!

[@ingmariohman8242]

@DavidKreacts has a personal connection to the Bismarck through third party. He gives a great lot of additional information about the ship.

[@johnsullivan8046]

the crew on this ship were german sailors NOT NAZIS there was no SS on board

[@perandersson548]

😁👍

[@MathiasFaude-jz7vt]

The Best Band Of World

[@js0988]

You need to do Sabaton Soldier of Three Armies, it's the sickest story ever told. And also watch their Sabaton History video(s) of him.

[@launchsquid]

Honestly you'll love Sabaton History. Watch them back to back, first the song than the story. Even if you don't want to release the reactions at the same time you ought to watch them at the same time.

[@fnglert]

Not a 'nazi' battleship; ships have no political ideology. German battleship, under a nazi regime. Great song though, great reaction too. If history was taught like this back when I was in school I would've paid a lot more attention. I love the little details from the actual battle that were put in to the video, like the hit on the bridge for example.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Very true.

[@ryannelson3220]

Please, as someone who loves Sabaton, please do a reaction to their videos and also the history behind it, , you can help people learn the background to what is being sung about... 2nd of all, Go Terps, Go Big Ten!!!!

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Go Terps!

[@Sub-Level28]

Please do; No Bullets Fly the animated story video (the long one) and same for Night Witches, Animated Story video. And you can go on 100% fresh on those! And Lady of The Dark animated and also The Red Baron. Have a great weekend!

[@xScooterAZx]

Pay attention to that pocket watch in the first bit of the video. 0 It belonged to the sailor on Bismarck. And in the final scene, the guy who owns the boat opens it. It means that the sailor was his grandfather or maybe possibly his father.

[@purpleir]

Well they make it easy to learn and remember historic events! And the music is awesome! Very inspiring actually! Their history Channel is very very interesting! Maybe you would be interested in checking it out! Maybe check out the equivalent video of one of their music videos that you have already seen. They go hand in hand. I never cared for boats ever either but listening to Sabaton for a few years now I found myself being very attracted to all types of vehicles! 🤣🤣🤣 Tanks, boats, planes...

[@DeathFromAbove_29]

1 vs 4 Battle 1 KMS Bismarck 1 HMS King V George 1 HMS Rodney 1 HMS Norfolk 1 HMS Dorsetshire 🙂

[@michaelmanier9447]

I'm a bit of a history nut so it's cool to learn new stuff, if you do as well check out their history channel might be awesome

[@FrogmanAnime]

I don’t think you’ve gotten to my favourite song yet that is called ‘no bullets fly’. It’s when a B-17 bomber was so badly shot up that when a extra German plane came up to shoot it down, and actually saw the damage. He decided to let it live and escorted out of the combat zone. it’s a gnarly story. However, I do have to recommend that you watch the yarnhub animated video first. Sabaton has a animated story video as well but inserts the song but cuts out some the the information. Hence why I recommend you watch yarnhub animation, video first, then follow up with the Sabaton animated story video. You basically get the same information, but the second includes the song. Also, you probably should follow up with a Sabaton history channel video as well

[@soundsofexpressions3720]

I definitely think you should watch the history side of things before watching the music he'll give you insight on what the music is about

[@ТушканчикПолевой]

Please next reaction Sabaton - Dreadnought official music video

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Done now. Much love

[@xScooterAZx]

The real Bismark could down an enemy from 15 miles away. When they sunk her it was because thewy had disabled her rudder so all she could do was move in a circle. She became a sitting duck.

[@hansreftel4271]

Check out Sabaton History channel its great. React to it as well

[@olakeyser167]

Check them out. They are intressant. Im not sure if they are reaktingfriendly but try. Thank you for a fun channel ❤

[@vansting]

Hitler thought the Bismark was too big and strong to be a she like all the other boats so it is the only ship referred to as a he

[@messiahsbythesackful6267]

I am still amazed that Hitler built the Bizmarck and the dreadnaughts as passenger ships to get past the Marshal Plan.

[@Stephanie-lm7sp]

Anyone else heard rumors of Joakim leaving??

[@Richie8406]

But does he know Primo Victoria?

[@GregPrice-ep2dk]

I would have been more comforatble if the song lionized the men of the Royal Navy who sent Bismark to the bottom rather than glorifying the flagship of the N*zi navy.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

I get why you called it a N*zi battleship, but that's continuing the falsehood of equating WWII German military with N*zis. Was it "republican soldiers" who were fighting in Iraq (afterall, the republicans under George Bush sr. were in charge) - or was it US American soldiers, many of whom didn't like the political decisions? 😉
