Beth, this is a rabbit hole that is worth following.

[@martinnilsson4813]

Sabatons Swedish version of ''En livstid i krig'' Live whit subtitles is a must!

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I concur emphatically.

I loved a lifetime of war but I can’t enjoy it anymore. The Swedish original had much better lyrics. It hits so much harder on every level. Every few months I’ll just throw it on repeat for hours

[@stefankristoffersen9349]

I would seriously recommend you checking out their cover of Motörhead's '1916'. The video is amazing, and it's a great cover to boot (with Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell showing up in the video to pay their respects to Lemmy).

[@Wrathlon]

+1000 to this, absolutely incredible cover AND incredible video. Also No Bullets Fly. There are just so many I could recommend but these 2 are definitely where Id start.

[@jk9554]

Didn't know they covered 1916… the sheer power of the "choir" at around the 2.35 min mark broke me. RIP Lemmy.

[@ommadawn8434]

Absolutely yes!

[@1982jeepcj8]

I concur

[@Branwhin]

YES please, the vocals are amazing in that one. And, um, bring tissues.

[@alancarter41]

Interesting factoid: Joakim Broden has no vocal training and never intended to be a singer. When Sabaton formed he was the keyboard player and had written a few songs which the band asked him to sing to get an idea of the melodies. The band did not have a lead singer and asked him to fill in until they could find one. As Joakim puts it, "They never did...lazy bastards."

[@DjKorppi]

Joakim is an example for all of you who are afraid of singing. "Even crows sing with their own voice".

[@najroe]

Great reaction, more Sabaton please. it is not unusual that a Sabaton video has more story and substance than some full length Hollywood films

[@PeteOtton]

They probably get the history correct more often than Hollywood. Of coarse they do work with a historian who moonlights in a few of their videos, and Indie helps host the Sabaton History Channel on KZbin.

[@Andy_from_de]

You should listen to him singing in his Swedish mother language - totally different. He said himself he emphasises the R in Englsih so much to mask the Swedish accent. "En livstid i krig" live Fun Fact -- the Bismarck is the only ship ever referred to as "he".

[@mudshark5393]

Rolling the R is often used for emphasis, I don't think it would fit "En Livstid i krig". Many Swedish artists in the 50's and 60's used this technique... One that comes to mind is Lill-babs, check the song "Tuff Brud I Lyxförpackning" and watch for the rolls.

[@Muschelschubs3r]

Except for every Russian ship referred to in Russian ;)

[@toadwine7654]

not true. most german ships where he. and did ya forget the man-o-war type ships? the billy ruffian was no she XD

[@scottfarley3644]

His Brother Tirpitz was also a He.

[@Pkkno07]

Lindemann refers to her as a she in his speech in 1940 during the "Indienststellung". Heute wird uns eine neue, Ehrfurcht erregende Waffe aus Stahl und Eisen, unser neues Schiff, gestiftet und anvertraut. SIE wird heute von unserer jungen Mannschaft, die ermächtigt ist, Blut und Eisen zu einer kraftvollen Symphonie aus eisernem Pflichtgefühl und Überzeugung zu verbinden, zum Leben erweckt, und mit heißblütiger Kraft und Kampfgeist werden höchste militärischen Ziele erreicht. Never seem the claim that Bismarck was refered to as "he" verified. This is alleged by one of the former Crew but not supported by facts or verifiable in any way. The reports of the Kriegsmarine most offen mention "Bismarck", "The Bismarck" or "The Battleship Bismarck"

[@stpnwlf9]

One of the very best things about Sabaton is their attention to historic detail and accuracy. Showing those Fairey Swordfish biplanes, launching from Ark Royal and hugging the wavetops to try to get torpedo hits on Bismark --- this video shows it better than anything I've seen.

[@henrikvidin]

Great reaction Beth. As you are a vocal coach I can strongly recommend that you listen to one of Sabatons two lead guitarists (both are lead). Tommy Johansson is not only a very good guitarist he is also an extraordinary singer (recently left Sabaton for to continue with his other band Majestic). He has his own KZbin channel. I suggest that you listen to his cover of You raise me up, singing one octave higher than the Josh Groban version. Really amazing actually!

[@delaware74b]

You should check out former member Tommy Johannson's cover of Phantom of the Opera. He is phenomenal.

Now imagine, if you will, you're a lookout on HMS Suffolk...and you're patrolling the Denmark Strait north of Iceland... And you see THAT emerging out of the fog at you. Something five times your displacement, with guns twice the size yours, and armor that your guns can't even scratch. Oh, and it's just as fast as you are.

In one of those oddities, my grandpa on my mom’s side and great-uncle on my dad’s side were on the Saratoga, but they never met til my parents got married.

It was even worse survival numbers on HMS Hood, out of 1490 sailors onboard only three survived.

[@32a34a]

Bismarck took well over 400 hits from shells and torpedoes. Can't imagine what that must have been to go through.

[@PeteOtton]

@@32a34a Yet a hundred or so sailors made it off the ship and into the water. Many were picked up by British destroyers. Reports of U-Boats in the area caused them to scarper and the U-boats couldn't pick up the rest.

[@CrashCanuck537]

The Bismarck did hit the Hoods rear ammunition magazine snapping the ship in two. I can't say I'm surprised so few survived. The Bismarck itself wasn't directly sunk, but scuttled as everything above deck was in ruins.

[@PeteOtton]

@@CrashCanuck537 Also took several torpedo hits, possibly including torpedoes from Rodney. But everything from the waterline up was holed and anything that could burn was, it was probably a matter of time before the magazines cooked off.

[@damienmaynard8892]

@@PeteOtton HMS Dorsetshire picked up some German sailors after firing the last torpedoes into him - most of which did not go off. U-47 was there and picked up some survivors but had scared off the RN heavies and escorts. A German trawler later picked up some more.

[@shawnengles8771]

Yeah correct. The Bismarck was being shadowed by british cruisers after the battle of Denmark strait. Bismarck was hit by a few shells from hood and was going back to France for repairs. The British fleet only had the carrier Ark Royal in position to slow them down. After the torpedo attact Bismarck s rudder was demolished and sent the Bismarck in circles cause it couldn't steer. Allowing British battleships and cruisers to catch up and finally torpedo and send shells into her leading to her sinking

[@PeteOtton]

@@shawnengles8771 Don't forget the night before that final showdown a pack of RN Tribals with a Polish destroyer made several torpedo attacks in rough seas that may have had the only affect of keeping the Bismark's crew awake and on edge.

[@MarkBtvd]

This was a fantastic winner for the Metal Theme. You're right. The compass is significant, but I haven't found reliable sources as to why. Fairly reasonable to assume the compass taken from the Bismark captain is the one the tugboat skipper has. Some folks point out the numbers scratched onto it match fairly well the coordinates where the ship sank. Others believe the skipper is a descendant of the rescued German sailor: son or grandson.

[@darkiee69]

The captain scribbled Bismarcks last position on it.

[@Boklore]

He’s apparently the grandson of the sailor and the compass he’s holding is the actual one from the Bismarck. It was loaned for the shoot.

[@reliantncc1864]

I figure the tugboat captain was the son of the Bismarck sailor who was rescued. I didn't think it was a compass, but a pocketwatch (which would have been more common at the time). Look at compasses back then and they typically didn't look like that, but pocketwatches did.

[@MarkBtvd]

@@reliantncc1864 Could well be. It does look like a typical pocket watch. Maybe a close look at the video frame by frame would tell.

Sabaton does a wonderful job. Thanks for reviewing it. And lets take a moment to think about the brave sailors and soldiers on both the Bismark and the Hood that lost their lifes doing theit duty in a mad and senseless war.

[@goldenhedgehog9]

A slight correction, the Royal Navy claimed to have sunk the Bismarck, but the survivors of the Bismarck had refuted that claim from the start saying they scuttled the ship to prevent it from being boarded. Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the wreck of Bismarck (and the Titanic among others), preformed a survey of the ship, noting that the hull was in very good shape, with no holes beneath where the waterline of the ship would be. The hull also never imploded, which would happen if the water tight doors were sealed like they should be normally. This further supported the claim from the German sailors that they scuttled the ship, as opening all of the water tight doors is standard when scuttling that way the ship floods and when the charges are set off. He and his team concluded that the actual cause of the ship sinking was from internal sabatoge within the engine room by the crew, and not the Royal Navy.

[@leonrussell9607]

Why did they scuttle the ship? Because they got hammered

[@frednone]

Right, the British had nothing to do with the sinking, the Bismark's crew just got bored wandering around the Atlantic.

[@goldenhedgehog9]

@@frednone The killing blow that caused the Bismark to sink was internal. The Royal navy knocked the guns out and hammered the super structure, but those hits are not going to compromise the hull of the boat to cause an intake water and sink. Opening all the water tight doors and setting charges in the engine room however, will cause a ship to sink. By the time the british launched the torpedoes that they credited as the cause for the sinking, the charges had already been detonated and Bismarck was listing so badly that the deck was partly underwater and when the torpedoes hit one of them struck the superstructure itself.

[@XizorSizhran]

If you noticed, the Captain of the boat they go out searching for the Bismarck on had a locket at the end of the song... the same locket the seaman was given by the Captain of the Bismarck as the ship was sinking.

This band has done so much to bring bring a new appeal base to history, to which I cannot thank them enough. Another amazing track and event depicted in such, "Hearts of Iron," about the men from Germany's 12th Armee (Wehrmacht) who effectively surrendered Berlin in order to save countless civilians and incapacitated soldiers from certain Soviet slaughter.

Those who have already suggested 'En livstid i Krig' know what they are talking about, I add my vote to that. Also recommend: 'Winged Hussars', 'The Last Stand', 'Shiroyama', 'Soldier of Heaven' and 'Race to the Sea'. Plenty of other great songs, I can't list them all here, lol. Oh and '40:1' and 'Uprising' (from I think it's Woodstock) in Poland are well worth a watch too, the crowd was so invested.

Fantastic reaction, thanks very much! Another historical point: The Band spared the Moment, when HMS Hood got the one fatal hit very early in the first comat scene in the video. I think it was on purpose, and as I´ve heard from several naval historians who reacted on the Video, its because it was a major propaganda event for the Nazis, so they decided to NOT show this very Moment.

You now absolutely must check out The Christmas Truce, all about the rl truce of 1914, though that might actually be best saved for December since it's relatively close. Shiroyama and Rorke's Drift are another couple I'd recommend off the top of my head but I could go on.

[@danieljones7843]

Battleships nearly always roll over when they sink. Those massive turrets are extra heavy since they are armour plated. Bismarck’s turret armour was a foot thick. The Yamato’s was 4 feet thick making one turret weigh as much as a whole fletcher class destroyer! You need to react to sabaton’s songs “Christmas truce” and “1916.”

[@ERAUsnow]

In case anyone's wondering, the Royal Navy's best warships...HMS Rodney and HMS King George V...along with cruisers Dorsetshire and Sheffield...spent more than 2 hours pummeling Bismarck in the final engagement. Rodney even put a torpedo into Bismarck, becoming the only battleship in all of history to torpedo another ship. And Bismarck still wouldn't sink. Dorsetshire put a spread of torpedoes into Bismarck and THAT wasn't enough. Bismarck's own crew had to put her down with scuttling charges.

[@Belnick6666]

The allied did not sink the Bismarck, they made video like this because of the game. 1 torpedo hit the rudder, preventing the ship from steering and could only go in circles, but in the wreck they found all torpedo walls, none had taken any damage at all and the only penetrations of the hull(two) was way above the water line where it have very thin armor and almost no slope. The german crew sank the ship by placing explosives on the insides, to prevent the flagship of n-germany, the pride of adolf, to fall in to the hands of the allies

[@madogthefirst]

What should be noted is the Bismarck was not the only ship of its class it had a sister ship Tirpitz. After chasing the Bismarck and sinking her the Royal Navy feared Tirpitz making a run of it. Tirpitz ended up getting locked down in Norway under near constant aerial bombardment never being able to leave port, got it the nickname Lonely Queen of the North.

[@Bismarck9771]

Fun fact Bismarck was actually called a He instead of a She like most ships

[@fjoergyn]

Some In-depth info: 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 1400 members of her crew except for 3 men, and heavily damaged the battleship "Prince of Wales". This enraged the prime minister Winston Churchill 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 3 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.

If you didn’t notice the pocket watch in the video was from the captain of the Bismarck that mean the captain of the boat that sabaton was on served on the Bismarck or at least his like dad or grandfather did

"Funny" thing is, that Bismark was sink by a pre-ww2 aircratft, a humbe Fairey Swordfish, that managed to hit the ship rudder, that ultimately sealed it's fate. David and Goliath reference.

There were 2000 men and 1 cat on the Bismarck, The cat was one of the Survivors of the Bismarck. The cat was named Sam, and he went on to survive the sinking of both HMS ships that he was the ship's cat on. He is known as Unsinkable Sam. Sam went on to live out his life at Admiralty House at Gibraltar.
