SABATON - No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video) (REACTION) with my wife

[@jovitatheren-stigler304]

Thank you for your kind comments

[@RubberDuckTrucking]

I love that you still comment on these videos, you are a national treasure. From a fellow Canadian from the east :)

[@PetterVessel]

I feel you're the Godmother of all of us Sabaton-fans. All of our love is with you!

[@Green-Lyon]

I, for one, need more heroes in these days. Thanks to Sabaton I have your father in my soul and feel lifted up every time I listen to this song. I am so glad you are here to receive the love on your father's behalf.

[@jovitatheren-stigler304]

@@RubberDuckTrucking Thank you and also greetings from the west

[@jovitatheren-stigler304]

[@radeksasinek5838]

Fun fact: Franz Stigler was invited to a reunion for the Bomber group several times and one of the first times, Stigler was looking out on a crowd of people and Stigler said he felt that he shouldn't be there and Charlie took his arm and told him that the people in the crowd were the children and grandchildren of the men that he saved that day.

[@gilsorger6548]

Don't be sorry for crying. You're just human. Great reaction.

[@robindowse4473]

If you like this you are going to love “Christmas Truce” another song based on a true story. Welcome to Sabaton.

[@RushAss]

A second recommendation for Christmas Truce. One of the best videos ever made in my opinion.

[@robertcrockford376]

I concur. You two are great

[@elvwood]

@@RushAss I concur. Just have the tissues handy when you do this one too (I cry almost every time for both these songs)!

[@RushAss]

@@elvwood yup, I shamelessly confess that I still tear up whenever I watch/listen to either of them. Cheers!

[@terencecanaday7968]

Christmas Truce will hit the same as this one - especially at the end. Night Witches and Bismarck should be watched as well.

[@danschultz4870]

Don't feel silly tears are not weakness. You honor those memories of good men who should be remembered with your tears. I cried as well each time watching this video.

[@VerchielxKanda]

Franz had said in an interview that the only way soldiers could cope with shooting down other planes was to see them as that. Just airplanes to shoot down. When he was lining up the shot on the B-17, he saw the tail-gunner bleeding profusely, so he couldn't do it. He got Charlie's attention and tried to get him to land the plane and surrender to Germany. Charlie refused, so he tried to get them to head to neutral air space. When Charlie refused again, he decided to escort them to safety, flying close enough to them so the ground weapons couldn't fire, for fear of hitting him, too. What a guy!!

[@AchimE]

I always tear up watching this video… the US Army kept this story secret cause they never allowed the enemy to look „human“, and Franz kept it secret cause he had to fear a death sentence for helping an American bomber crew… I love that they were firm friend for 18 years before they passed away! Great story, Sabaton always show these parts of history! Did you check the Sabaton video Christmas Truce? I can guarantee more tears! Greetings from Germany 👍🤘

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

It's like the Christmas truce. You can't have soldiers humanizing the enemy, or the war machine will grind to a halt.

[@chriso6719]

It is perfectly acceptable to get emotional with this song, and other Sabaton songs as well. Most of their songs are about Military History. They tell the story without taking sides. Lead singer is Joakim Broden. He and bassist Par Sundstrom are the primary songwriters. Chris Rorland and Tommy Johansson on guitar and drummer Hannes Van Dahl round out the current lineup. (Hannes is married to Nightwish's Floor Jansen). Thay also have a Sabaton History channel, which gives a deeper history for each song. Night Witches is another animated story video. Christmas Truce, Bismarck, Soldier of Heaven , The Unkillable Soldier, and Primo Victoria for more.

[@marinamucic908]

Sabaton is a band that sings about war history, but they don't glorify war itself, they tell stories about persons and/or events they feel should not be forgotten. Since you have ties to Poland I absolutely recommend their songs Winged Hussars (one of my favorites), 40:1, Uprising and Inmate 4859 (story about Witold Pilecki). Another amazing songs: Christmas Truce, Bismarck, The Last Stand, En Livstid I Krig (it's in Swedish so you'll need to turn on cc)

[@DawidC.909]

As they sing in "Aces in exile": "Let their story be heard..."

[@scipiocorculum]

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Sabaton videos have been known to reduce grown, metal-hardened men to tears.

[@naruto9121983]

sabaton are amazing and the drummer hannes is Floor jansen husbnd. you should hear christmas truce floor sings at the end

[@Yarnhub]

We loved that the film moved you in this way. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@mctheribbler5276]

Great Reaction! Greetings from Germany

[@jovana_r]

Domenica, you have such a wonderful soul. Wish I knew you in person. 🖤 Warm hug for both of you!

[@agpv1975]

Welcome to the sabaton family. They have a history channel with the history around every song. A lot of good songs to hear. If You like they animated try nigjt witches animated song.

[@mrlizardtx]

Don't feel bad about being emotional. This video made all of us cry.

[@ldaberg]

Beautiful reaction! Since I believe you are from Poland I think you should check out "Uprising" ( Official music video or official live ) and "40:1" ( Official live). Also check out "Chrismas Truce" ( Music video) where you will hear Floor singing at the end. She is btw married to the drummer of Sabaton.

[@danielkarlsson258]

That "Uprising" is amazing.

[@Calumetto]

I cried too. I remember reading that the families of the spared bomber crew met Stigler in the early 90's in a hangar somewhere. I think there were 64 of them then. They wouldn't have existed without his choice. That number is probably in the hundreds now. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!

[@romanknetsch1035]

I love the emotional reaction of Domenica, you are a very precious soul!Don't feel ashamed for your tears. I am an old german guy (62) and I cried way more than you. Maybe cause, my parents suffered a lot during WW ll. My father used to be a fighting pilot and got shot down above Belgium. English soldiers saved his life, cause belgish farmers wanted to burn him alive. My mother had to flee from eastern Prussia, cause russian army conquered the land. She had to go through terrible things, that russian soldiers did to her to her. Probably you can imagine what I am talking about. Please, keep going with your work. You are my favorite reaction couple!

[@RonniePeterson]

A very special song and a very special reaction.

[@fredrikjacobsson5483]

Welcome to the World of Sabaton👍

[@Pulse-of-1910]

Great Reaction you both again. A little side Info for you. The Drummer of Sabaton, Hannes, ist the Husband from Floor Jansen of Nightwish.

[@saraho.360]

Christmas Truce and Bismarck might be songs you should do a reaction on. :)

[@ardillamente]

Don't apologize for tearing up. After watching this video and its reactions some 50 times now, I still tear up. It's an amazing story of a man's humanity shining through in such inhumane times.

[@MarkusUbl]

Be human, cry when art moves you. That is totally fine. We all cried :-)

[@bushman9222]

Fabulous reaction as always. Don't feel shame about the tears, it is very understandable. I have watched this video countless times and once again I have ended up with tears rolling down my face. I am hoping that one day (could be a very long way off) I shall be able to watch it without the tears. Sabaton are a fabulous band and their songs are about historical events. You will be told I suspect that the drummer, Hannes, is married to Floor Jansen. You are about to embark on a very enjoyable journey. Take care both.

[@edwardnelson9807]

These are stories the world need to hear!

[@uueyeam6398]

That is why we call it a "reaction" video!

[@AlvenmodFoto]

I tear up every time I see this video, don't feel bad for being emotional and opening your heart, you have a beautiful soul, never change 😍

[@redguern]

As mentioned many times here Christmas Truce official video is a must. I suggest you have more than one box of tissues at the ready.

[@jimilgenfitz6998]

Thanks so much for discovering SABATON! Please continue with this incredible band....by the way, the drummer is married to Floor Jansen from NIGHTWISH. Thanks so much! 👍💖

[@sagebooker]

I cry each time, and that may be the 50th time I watch this video

[@mikeatwork3279]

“Christmas Truce” has already been suggested - I concur! Soon you will also discover, if you continue this journey, that Nightwish and Sabaton have more in common than only the metal music, the fan base, and the tears... and I also have to say, that you two are a fabulous pair ❤

[@SeaxanCyning]

I would recommend "En Livstid I Krig" (the live version from Gothenburg) to show exactly how moving this band can be. And if you want some more upbeat songs about heroism, I would suggest "Race to the Sea" and "Stormtroopers" (just from their latest album). P.S. Welcome to the start of your Sabaton journey.

[@rianjones6142]

I would suggest you do Bismarck next, and then Christmas Truce (But have some tissues ready for that one! And listen to Floor singing right at the end) Don't mind the tears, we are crying with you all over the world. Love the two of you, greetings from Namibia.

[@mihaimihai7391]

Hey , I was last night at Sabaton show in Bucharest and is fabulous , they are showmen , you need to go one show , for Dominka go check polish history based songs are amazing. Also Sabaton is the best history teacher , ALL facts in songs are documented.

[@billprice8596]

Please don't apologize, this won't be the last time you will cry with Sabaton. Welcome to the Sabaton family! Next try Christmas Truce.

[@paisa20]

Thanks, i cry every time

[@kevingunning7569]

I spent most of Christmas night (just gone) in tears as I watched 'Christmas Truce'. for the first time. I would highly recommend that you react to that one, but I would suggest that you have a box of tissues on hand! Hannes Van Dahl (the drummer) is married to Floor, so there is a Sabaton/Nightwish crossover. I love the tenderness that you both have for each other, and it makes watching your reactions such a pleasure. Big hug to you both x

[@Annicaconst]

I really likes Your reaktion and that you showed Your feelings so openly, greetings from sweden

[@giancarlodellaquila5781]

Lots of Sabaton songs to be discovered, lots of tears to be shed. A new wonderful journey has just started. Please check the Sabaton History Channel, a lot of fun and knowledge to be found there.

Sabatonic Metal - History taught with Metal. 10 albums to go....

[@007Marke]

Welcome to the huuuuge rabbit hole that is called "Sabaton" ... it is far from a shame to cry from some of their emotional songs, I kinda do every time with this song and I must have heard it a hundred times... Franz's instructor told his pilots, that if he ever saw someone shooting at a parachute, he'd shoot the pilot himself. Franz later said, he saw this plane that could not fight back anymore as a downing parachute, so he decided to help. There are many, maaaaany awesome stories more to explore with Sabaton, be it emotional ones like this, heroic ones, or "just" stunning facts, being told. As other guys in the comments, I'll go with some recommendations for other songs to continue with, these would be "Christmas Truce" , original video, "Livstid I Krig", live in Gothenburg, "Ghost Division", live in Warsaw , "Bismarck", original video, and "Swedish Pagans", live at Wacken featuring Tina Guo. Thank you for the great reaction to my absolute favourite band, and greetings from Germany!

[@ingvartorma9789]

Sabaton is a Swedish Power Metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot. So all the songs Sabaton sings are based on real historical war events,

[@Adamas97]

I've seen reactions to this video many many times and it still brings a tear to my eye every single time. It is an amazing video and you guys did an amazing reaction to it.

[@Anders_Eriksson]

Floor and Sabaton seems to be the only "things" that sets me off nowdays. Pls you should never make apologies for being human. PS. Love your reactions

[@TheFreddehalmstad]

I’m crying to 😢

[@miafranlund6982]

What a heartfelt reaction🥰. Anyone who doesn't get emotional about this video must have a heart of stone. Anyway, welcome into the deep rabbithole of Sabaton. You have now 10 years of great music to discover. The band sings mainly of historical events and teach history with music. They never take sides and never ever glorify war, but they do sing about heroes and highlight their place in history.

[@martinfranzen9151]

Great reaction 👏❤️

[@Flokarl1]

WoW!!!! One of the most touching and beautiful reactions to Sabaton I have ever seen! Sooo beautiful! Pls Pls Pls make more reactions to this amazing band!

[@genobondo]

Hi from Oregon. Hadn't seen this video although I have seen other Sabaton videos. Thanks for doing this reaction. My dad was a B-17 bomber mechanic during WWII, and for 3 years stationed at Horham Airbase in England. He never saw front line fighting but was one of the men who kept patching up the B-17s that made it back. Many didn't, and I am sure he lost many friends and others during that time. He died when I was 9 years old and never heard him talk about his time their. One of my favorites from Sabaton is "Swedish Pagans" with a guest appearance of the world renowned electric cello player, Tina Guo. She doesn't sing but has many instrumental videos you may be interested in. Also, others may have mentioned, the drummer for Sabaton is Floor Jansen's husband and father to their daughter Freja. Here's the link to "Swedish Pagans" with Tina if interested. Here's one of my favorites of Tina's, Wonder Woman Main Theme (Official Music Video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnqVcoamZctqfbc.

[@jregns]

I've seen this video probably a hundred times, and at the end it's still that ninja chopping onions sneaking up on me. Sabaton are masters of pulling heartstrings. "Night witches" (animated story version), "Bismarck" and as people below suggested "Christmas Truce" should be next, as well as "En livstid i krig" (A lifetime of war) live from Gothenburg. Welcome to Sabaton, and greetings from Sweden!

[@noahloiselle412]

Welcome to the awesome rabbit hole that is Sabaton! I agree with some of the other comments that many Sabaton songs are quite emotional (I can think of 3 off hand that have made me shed quite a few tears). I would say that 99% of the things they sing about are real historical events (as others have said focusing mainly on military history, whether that be battles or specific people/events or even technologies (like the advent of the tank for instance)) from all sorts of time periods (lots of WW2 and WW1, but also other eras). While you should eventually try to get to all of their songs, if I had to suggest some off the top of my head, I would say En livstid I Krieg (live version), Valley of Death, Inmate 4859, Christmas Truce and Ghost Division. And I agree that if you want more context (either before watching a song or after) then their history channel would be 100% worth checking out for sure. Either way, I am sure you will both love hearing more of them for sure!

[@thomassencindiver]

There is nothing to apologize for. I cried the time I watched it, and well... A few times after as well. It's a touching story. And I have the exact same feelings, a feeling of hope. That even in the utmost terrible situations, humanity can still prevail. Yes we have our faults, and we will never be perfect but moments like these makes me think there will always be a brighter tomorrow. I love your reactions and I hope you have a wonderful week

[@rafaellemgruber8401]

dont feel bad for tearing up, it is a powerfull story indeed

[@arlangur]

Guys, it was GREAT reaction! And very emotion! Thank you so much! ) We will be waiting for more Sabaton, and especially the song of the Night Witches. There's also an animated video.

[@petervenkman69]

There is no shame at getting tears in your eyes over this song, the story is simply moving. I advise you to listen to a lot more Sabaton, not every story is this moving, but you will learn a lot of history.

[@Stebryar18]

So happy you began this journey with Sabaton, you won't regret it. I enjoy all your reactions! Love from Italy

Sabaton are a unique metal band as in they tell stories about military history enjoy yourselves discovering this great band 👍

[@Tim_Nilsson]

99,9 % of all people you'll ever meet are nice people no matter their nation or background. We do unfortunately spend a disproportional amount of time thinking about every time someone wronged us. In short: We deem negative things more important than the positive and a lot of the time we simply take the positives for granted. EDIT: The family met the band as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goS4aHubmbeJfbs

It’s a true story, friends and foes become friends and more like brothers!

Don’t worry about it, I choke up every time at the end of the video.

[@lianharold823]

Sabaton lyrics is all about history n facts..

[@henrikalexandersson4663]

Lovely reaction guys,never apologise for the emotions these songs bring. I'm sure most of the Sabaton fans around the world have shed a tear or two to this one. Another one that always tears me up is En livstid i krig (live in Gothenburg,make sure to turn on captions) Other then that I would recommend Soldier of Heaven, Christmas truce, Bismarck, Winged Hussars, The unkillable soldier (Another unbelieveable story..) and Lady of the Dark.

[@ed5310]

I have watched this Sabaton video many times still makes me tear up. God bless you both.

[@charliethetraveller]

Do Christmas Truce next. I think this band will be one of your biggest favorites artists.

[@tigeriussvarne177]

By far, my favorite Sabaton song, and the one I can most relate to. I live near Bremen (the place they bombed) and Oldenburg (where they almost crashed), and one of my Opas (Grandpa) was a AA-guner at the Atlantikwall, in the Netherlands. I wonder if he saw a BF-109 escorting a B-17? Great reaction. I have to check if Mrs. Theren-Stigler is in the comments.

[@tigeriussvarne177]

You two are so sweet and nice to each other, that's what a good relationship/marriage must look like ^^

[@marttivuorinen8475]

Just a suggestion..keep your tissues close. You Will need them with your Sabaton journey 🥰 This 54 years young guy needs them still after listening them dozens and dozens of times 😃

[@fearmac]

Don't be sorry for getting emotional. This story is amazing in itself but the fact that we have video of both men at their first meeting makes it even better. Loved your reaction!!

[@Zimtbiss1]

Everytime I watch a reaction to this song it makes me so happy how honor and mercy touches people so deeply. There is hope for humanity as long as people understand and feel how important and powerful these virtues and values are. Thank you for your tears, Domenica.

[@jeffhall2411]

i have to say, its so nice seeing the love your husband has for you, its in his face and all he does when you break down. Trust me, i cry every time i watch this too.

[@lifelovelifewithrights5634]

We need more Charlie and Frsnz today!❤

[@reuben8190]

You have just started a big rabbit hole. And you will enjoy it as much as the Nightwish rabit hole. Both bands are great storytellers. So much emotions in their songs. If you want to see another great true story, react to Christmas Truce but please watch the video until the very end and maybe you’ll reconize the female voice in the credits. If you want to react to a live performance, please react to “En livstid I krig” in Gothemburg. This one is in swedish but you can’t put the english subtitles. Very emotional as well. As someone said, they have some songs about polish history and a great performance in Woodstock Festival (Poland).

[@124Spider5]

You must listen to Christmas Truce. But wait at the end of the credits. A lady singer you like a lot sings in it. Btw She is married to Sabaton's Drumer, Hannes Van Dhal. Her name? FJ 😁

[@helheimx]

Don't be sory for crying, I do the same everytime i hear this. Since one of you is Polish i would recomend either "40:1" or "Uprising" both live from Woodstock 2013, "The Winged Hussars" from Warzaw 2020, "Inmate 4859" lyric video. All these songs concern polish history. other great song would be "The Unkillable Soldier" this one usually makes people smile, "82nd All the Way", "En Livstid i Krig" live from Gothenburg (is in swedish remember CC, this one also makes me cry) "The nightWithes" animated story version, "Christmas Truce" this one will also make you cry.

[@wezzmusic]

The song and the end video show that even in war, there are still some that show a streak of humanity.

[@Raven-fh2yy]

Sorry I had to laugh at the end when a lovely Polish lady said "Crikey".... You've been talking with Australians or English people obviously... and BTW... I cry everytime I see that meeting. Don't be ashamed.

[@fredriknilsson6042]

Sabaton are great and have a lot of videos that are going to get you emotional. They do songs about history of wars and even have a historychannel that explains the background to the songs. The drummer Hannes Van Dahl is Floors husband. One thing you will have in every song is an amazing guitarsolo

[@robinhaines4960]

Everyone with a heart cries over this, don't be sorry, I'm a 70 year old bloke and I still cry every time when Franz says "I love you Charlie".

[@jorgenandersson424]

great reaction, very touching to see how emotional Dominika was and how kind you're to eachother 🙂Please also check among your comments, because you'll find Franz Stiglers daughter Jovita Theren-Stigler has written some kind words to your reaction (as she always try to do to reactors of this song) it's worth to highlight as well!!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you kindly! ☺️

[@YarMahNarNar]

Do not be sorry for crying. To see 2 people, both enemies to each other, to show such respect, dignity, honor during wartime, it's almost unheard of. That is a bond those 2 gentlemen shared that goes beyond brotherhood. Being exmilitary myself, I cried the first time I heard this song as well. Crying is not a negative thing, especially in this circumstance. It's a happy thing for sure.

[@thamor4746]

Interesting choice to get introduced to Sabaton. You should react to "Sabaton - Bismarck" next.

[@svenwallstrom3368]

My tears 😢 always come in this move.. i love the story above it.. sabbaton are 1 of my top 3 music teams all time..

[@fearlefance5257]

One of the best because emotionalst reactions videos ever. Your wife have realy a great heart and a truly good character.

[@lazarbauk1343]

I recommend their songs:Bismarck,Steel commanders,christmas truce,unkillable soldier....i mean every song from them is awesome but i recommend these ones first

[@strummer3162]

I'm so excited to discover that you have reacted to so many Sabaton songs. I can't wait to go on this journey with you two. I absolutely love how Sabaton weave history into such powerful songs. I'm really going to enjoy this! You two are just wonderful!

[@CptMankepoot]

Thank you for this great reaction to Sabaton. I hope you will continue to react to more songs from this epic band. And tearing up to this video shows that you have a good heart.

[@frontgamet.v1892]

Quick History: Franz Stigler was a German chase aviator who spared the crew of a badly damaged American bomber and instead escorted them home. They were so badly damaged by the attack on a factory in Bremen that they just managed to keep the plane aloft and many were wounded. But when Franz approached them, he couldn't bring himself to kill them and risked his own life. Franz already had 22 degrees and only one was missing for the Knight's Cross. But instead of securing the award, he flew alongside the machine and escorted it to the North Sea. Here he saluted the American pilot, turned around and flew back. Both pilots were silent for a long time about the extraordinary act. Until they finally get to know each other personally 50 years after the war through a newspaper article. This resulted in a close friendship that only ended when they both died in quick succession in 2008.
