======= "Coat Of Arms" LYRICS =======
At dawn envog arrives
Morning of October 28th
“No day” proven by deed
Descendants of Sparta,
Athens and Crete!
Look north, ready to fight
Enemies charge from the hills
To arms! Facing defeat!
There’s no surrender! There’s no retreat!
Time after time
Force their enemies back to the line
Call to arms banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading “Freedom or death!”
Blood of king Leonidas
Air raid pounding the land
Bombers are flying both day and night
Endure six days of rain
Dropped by invaders bomb raid in vain
Strike hard, the tables have turned
Drive them back over the hills
At arms! Just like before
Soldiers, civilians, Hellas at war
By theire own hand
Forced the enemy out of their land
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading “Freedom or death!”
Blood of king Leonidas
Just like their ancestors ages ago
Fought in the face of defeat
Those three hundred men
Left a pride to uphold
Freedom of death in effect
Then, now again
Blood of heroes saving their land
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading “Freedom or death!”
Blood of king Leonidas
Call to arms, banners fly in the wind
For the glory of Hellas
Coat of arms reading “Freedom or death!”
Blood of king Leonidas

@@UntitledDudFromLV the Lithuanian Uprising was against Soviets, we loved the Germans, welcomed them as liberators. The German Reich launched Operation Barbarossa, the Lithuanians took advantage of it and began an uprising, started driving the Soviets out. Apparently the rebels were driving out the Soviets faster than the Germans. Then the LAF (Lithuanian Activist Front) Started purging Jews in German-occupied Lithuania. They were not collaborating with the Germans, they were a Lithuanian rebel group and at the time a lot of Lithuanian people hated the Jews, which is why LAF was killing them

They didn't only fought against the Italians but also against the circumstances that all where against them . Greeks had little food and equipment in compare to the Italians , the temperature up in the mountains was something you can't imagine . Italians bombarded the Greek lines heavily bad couldn't break them . They sent my papou back wounded from schrapnels and doctors in hospital told him he also had major frostbites on both feet and that they had to cut the feet of.

My grandfather was an italian soldier but he didn't want to kill greeks because there's a sort of friendship between Greece and Italy. Anyway, when Italians lost the campaign he ran in a farm and ate the same food that was given to the pigs. One day he was rescued by the farmer and he remained in Greece for 5 years until the war was over. When he got back to Italy he invited those greeks to join his wedding and he even learned greek. Edit: He was in the Pinerolo Division, the only division that refused to lay down their arms against the Germans in the continental Greece. He was a Sergent of that division and after 8th September 1943 they fought side by side with the Greece resistance until they were sent back to Italy in 1945.

My great-grandfather fought Italians and he had a diary that he wrote that he didn't want to kill Italians and he knew that they were forced to fight and he had to defend his country.

Greece has been in many wars through the years with many countries and the relationships with many of those countries are not the best even nowadays (for ex. Turkey, Germany).

I'm Greek, my grandfather fought at the WW2 at the fight of Crete, Mylopotamos. The german troops were dropping with parachutes, thousands of them. He told me back in 2000 before he die that they were so many that the sky turned dark as they were covering the sun light. He got captured after this lost fight and managed to go back home after a couple of years in the end of the war since they were trading prisoners. My grandma and the rest of the family thought he got killed so they already had his funeral etc, yet he turned back home to north Greece like a living dead. When i asked once at a christmas dinner if he killed anyone his face went red and his eyes went full of tears and the only reply i got from him was "my kid the soul of a human turns into abyss during war". I was 10 by this time and i didn't understand much. Now 20 years later i understand that the guy took out a couple of lives that he didn't really want to. War is a bad thing with no winners.

(Correct Text) Fun fact: When the Germans entered Greece through the "neutral" country of Bulgaria and threatened to envelope the entire Greek army while it was fighting the Italians in Albania, the Greek general surendered only to the Germans. He was able to negotiate with the Germans to not take any soldiers prisoners and to even let the officers keep their sidearms. The Greek army was too proud to surrender to the Italians as they viewed them as an enemy they defeated. The German high command also generally respected the Greek army for lasting against a country with so much more resources so long and there are some mentions that Hitler blames the failure of Barbarossa to the delay because of the detour to the Balkans that the German army had to take it in order to secure Greece for the Italians. (Old incorrect text) Fun fact: Greece was the only country whose captured soldiers didn't go to Germany to work in labour camps during WWII.

On April 16 declared another strike ended on April 21 with meeting the demands of the strikers. On 24 February and 5 March 1943 declared major strike while the IPU organized massive demonstrations in Athens in order to abort the impending mobilization Greek workers to be sent to Germany. The strike led to cancellation of plans for mobilization. [53] [54] In the meantime, on February 27, 1943, died the poet Kostis Palamas. His funeral turned into a spontaneous popular protest of the people of Athens against the invaders. [55] Large rallies were held in Thessaloniki and other cities in Northern Greece on July 10, 1943 against the alleged expansion of the Bulgarian occupation zone. For the same reason there was a big strike in Athens on July 22, 1943. The massive demonstration was violently treated by the occupying forces, killing a total of thirty protesters. [56]

The Greek officer who was appointed for it's defence Lt D. Kaslas had given only one order. "No one moves from his position ,the enemy will only pass if even the last one of us fall". The hill was crumbled by Italian airforce and artillery for more than 6 days.... after the war the height of the hill was measured 726... 5 meters shorter was the result of fierce bombardment... the enemy never passed the line.....

He was looting the chocolate bars from the coats of the dead italians to warm himself and eat something cause there was no food. He once carried on his back a half-dead compatriot *3 fucking kilometers in the snow-covered mountains* back to the HQ to save him. He died at 67 from a stroke and it turned out the death was caused from a gunshot wound at the leg from back then which was not stiched properly. The damaged artery at the leg clogged up the blood flow which caused the stroke so many years later. He fought for his country and saved a man's life. Even tho I didn't get to know him because I was born 2 years after his death, I am so proud of him.

Dear Sabaton, as a Greek, i have no words to thank you about this song. I will add a poem written by Elytis, a greek poet, Nobel prize for literature, who fought the Italians back then: They came dressed up as “friends,” countless times, my enemies, trampling the ancient soil. And the soil never blended with their heel. They brought The Wise One, the Founder, and the Geometer, Bibles of letters and numbers, every kind of Submission and Power, to dominate the ancient light. And the light never blended with their roof. Not even a bee was fooled into beginning the golden game, not even a Zephyr into swelling the white aprons. On the peaks, in the valleys, in the ports they raised and founded mighty towers and mansions, floating timbers and other vessels, and their Laws decreeing the pursuit of their own profit they applied to the ancient measure. And the measure never blended with their thinking. Not even a footprint of a god left a sign on their soul, not even a fairy’s glance tried to rob them of their speech. They came dressed up as “friends,” countless times, my enemies, bearing the ancient gifts. And their gifts were nothing else but iron and fire only. To the open expecting fingers only weapons and iron and fire. Only weapons and iron and fire.

History Fun Fact: Greece was conquered entirely by June of 1941. The German Army arrived in Athens in April 27th, but because Metaxas gave the order in 1940 to fight until even the last man falls, Crete didn't fall until June. That's why Hitler couldn't do anything against USSR before the end of June.

[@bringbackromanempire2184]

Us Greeks were bred for war. And we were previously enslaved and genocided for 400 years. It was in our blood to resist, we did not need anyone to tell us to fight to the last man. the children of WWII grew up hearing what their grandparents did to free Hellas.. Now it was their turn

[@Seriona1]

There is no conclusive evidence that the invasion of USSR was stalled due to Greece. Hitler himself said the only real reason why he sent Germany into Greece was because UK got directly involved and didn't want the Allies to attempted a 2nd front no matter how small it was. Greece may of pushed Italy back from where they started but the Greek Army was badly outdated in supplies and equipment and only have a couple of months of defense even with a large reserve force. UK supplies to Greece only added about another month of resistance. Hitler told Mussolini that Greece was 100% inside Italian sphere of influence and wanted nothing to do with it and knew because the lack of supplies that Italy would of eventually overran the nation at some point. Again only because UK got directly involved that Germany bothered.

Metaxas did all he could for Greece to stay out of the war. It is only after his death that the British were allowed to use the country as a base and Hitler had to invade. In his diary he made it clear that he did not fear death and would chose death over being ruled by Hitler.

Humans are warriors, even animals are warriors, that's not an achievement, that's nature

[@ictsmile8200]

And being the opposite of a warrior is nature too.. Everything is nature .when you got nothing to say, naturally.

I love Sabaton and their songs -- but I never turn them up so loud that my neighbors can hear through the wall!

thanks to the Greek brothers for postponing the Barbarossa plan and allowing us to wreak a winter hell for the Nazis 🇷🇺🤝🇬🇷

[@forryko9504]

The Greek have always impressed me by their tenacity. Incredible level of resistance, even during the occupation. Such heroism. 🇬🇷 IMPORTANT FACT: The tenacious resistance against Italian troops forced Mr. mustache to focus his attention on the Balkan Peninsula instead of attacking the Soviet Union earlier as he had planned to do originally. Germany was obliged to make sure that the Balkan Peninsula would not cause any troubles due to Italy's incompetence. So they postponed the invasion into the Soviet territory. I remind you that in December 1941 German forces stopped just a few dozen miles in front of Moscow. Had Germany commenced the invasion a little earlier, it might have won the war. So basically, we can be grateful to Greeks for much more than just defending their own country. 💙🇬🇷

[@darkmist7734]

Thank you kindly my good sir, I'm deeply moved whenever someone praises my ancestors' courage during the hardships of war, and though proud to know their struggle holded much greater meaning than i imagined, personally i feel it's a shame the Soviets didn't get to fall a moment sooner.

Basically Greece's resistance won the ww2. Not America or England or Russia.
