SABATON - Smoking Snakes (Official Lyric Video)

[@Sabaton]

In 1945 in Montese, Italy, a bloody battle ensued between Brazilian troops and the Germans. Three Brazilian soldiers, Arlindo Lúcio da Silva, Geraldo Baeta da Cruz and Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza, bravely fought against a much larger and much stronger force of German troops. They fought until they ran out of ammunition and engaged in close combat with their bayonets. They were immediately shot dead and the Germans buried them and placed a cross with the inscription “Drei Brasilianischen Helden” (Three Brazilian Heroes) on their grave.

In my time in the Brazilian army in the late 2000s, the story of the 3 Brazilian heroes was the one that was told with most pride.

[@The_Hylian_Link]

Wait, you were in the army there? How was it?

[@kira68200]

can you tell me the story, I'm french and don't know it :)

[@GremlinHunter]

@@kira68200 Long story short the Allies didn't want the Brazillians to help in the war. The Americans supplied a few units of Brazillian "Expeditionary" troops with REALLY shitty supplies. In Italy around the push towards Monte Cassino three Brazillian troops decided that instead of surrendering to an overwhelming German force that was about to capture the town that they (whats left of their scout party) would rather die slowing down the advance. They ran out of ammo and eventually suicide charged with bayonets into the Germans who buried them promptly and put down the saying on their graves that they were honorable and the most fearless warriors they've seen. (or something along those lines). The term "Smoking Snakes" is in reference to the morale of the Brazillians before being allowed into the war. The "Pro-interventionist" soldiers used to say "Brazil will join the war when cobras smoke cigars" and then when they were allowed to fight with US supplies in Italy they named the units "Smoking Cobras" or "Smoking Snakes".

[@arthurkernkraut8904]

As a Brazilian, I would like to add some context for the story of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB in Portuguese). The term “smoking snakes” were in reference of a popular joke ate the time: “It's more likely for a snake to smoke a pipe than for the FEB to go the front and fight”, mocking the time it took between declaring war (1942) and sending troops (1944). In response of this mockery, the FEB decided that its symbol would be a smoking snake and due to the brave participation in the war, the meaning of the expression “a snake will smoke a pipe” changed from “it will never happen” to “it will happen right now!”. And finally, I appreciate the research Sabaton made before, not only the historical, but also linguistic. The portuguese line on the song (“Cobra Fumante, eterna é sua vitoria” - which translates to “Smoking sankes, your victory is eternal”) are closer to a Brazillian dialect than a Portuguese one.

[@adrianagomes1248]

Man, I'll disagree a bit. You see, I heard from my grandfather that the brazillian force was sent to an impossible mission, No training, no equipment, no experience. And, facing all these, one of the Monte Castelo soldier turned to his sargent and asked> now what sargent?? The response was: now: a cobra vai fumar!! (the snake wis gonna smoke). Meaning that, no matter what, the brazilian soldiers will do their job. And may God be mercyfull with the ones who stood up against them.

As for any Brazilians reading this, your contribution might have been insignificant but you do deserve to celebrate it and be thanked for it.

[@davizimpanqueca3438]

@@manishdyall4779 I didn't quite understand what you were trying to say, I don't know if you meant that Brazil's participation was insignificant in World War II, but I want to say that. You shouldn't put a country first or second by the number of deaths it had, you have to see what the country did in the war. Brazil for example was the only country that flew more air missions than any other country in Italy, and was the only country to capture 25,000 German soldiers in Italy. Let's stop with this discussion of who died more or who died less, let's think that it was 26 thousand young people aged 18 and 19 who risked their lives for people they had never seen in their lives.

[@DanielLopes-uo7qo]

this story is fake, these 3 soldiers died on different circunstances and in very different places, and they werent even from the same group, with one of them being a rear medic, theres another story that has more truth in it, and as such, is far less heroic, 4 soldiers patrolling, they run into germans and fire at them, the germans start retreating and the brazillians in a not very smart move run after them, it happened that there was a fortified german position to where the germans were retreating, but the brazillians did not know, and it looks like they didnt remember a basic rule: your enemy is retreating? Then he is retreating somewhere. When they met the german fortified position it was a surprise for them, but not for the germans, if ended as fast as it started, 3 soldiers died, while the 4th one was captured, it wasnt bravery, it wasnt a suicidal charge or a heroic moment, as soon as the machine gun started firing, they had nowhere to retreat, nowhere to go, so they stood there in cover and tried to return fire, a useless death like many others, as they died with no actual contribution, due to a stupid decision of not thinking properly, as a brazillian it kinda hurts to know the truth about this, but the reality is: brazillian participation on that war was unnecessary and useless if you see it from a military point.

"Курящие Змеи" (порт. Cobras Fumantes) - прозвище Бразильского Экспедиционного корпуса, сражавшегося во Второй мировой войне на стороне Союзников. Песня посвящена трем членам корпуса, которые оказались окружены немцами, отказались сдаваться и храбро сражались, пока не погибли. Немецкие солдаты были так впечатлены их отвагой, что похоронили их с почестями, написав на кресте "Drei Brasilianischen Helden" ("Три бразильских героя"). Текст песни на русском: Далеко, далеко от славы, поведайте их рассказ, Их забытую историю. "Курящие Змеи", память об их победе будет жить вечно. Восстаньте из крови своих героев! Вы - те, кто отказался сдаваться! Трое тех, что предпочли погибнуть, чем отступить, Знайте, что ваша память Будет воспеваться весь век. Трое приняли на себя удар, впечатлив противника. Они поставили на кон собственные жизни И поплатились за это. Присланные, чтобы устроить ад врагам, услышьте, как звонит колокол. Он взывает к вам, как завещал Вермахт. Отправленные за моря, брошенные в огонь, Пылко и гордо сражавшиеся за свою цель, Отважные пролили свою кровь, чтобы вдохновить других. "Курящие Змеи", память о вас жива!

Most of us have heard the expression “when pigs fly” but in a different part of the world another popular saying was that “It’s more likely for a snake to smoke a pipe than for the Brazilian expeditionary force to go to the front and fight” in the same context. However, one day in 1944 the snake did smoke and over 25.000 Brazilians left to join WW2. This is the story about three of them who fought so bravely against a much larger opposing force. Located in the mountains and heavily defended by the Germans as a last bastion to block the advance of allied troops in the direction of the Po Valley, on 14 April 1945, Montese became the stage for the most arduous and bloody battle of Brazilian troops in Italy. Three Brazilian soldiers on patrol were attacked by German forces. Outnumbered, the patrol was ordered to surrender. The three men took cover and opened fire on the enemy until running out of ammunition. Not satisfied, they proceeded to pitch their bayonets and advanced against the Germans and consequently were fired upon and shot dead. In recognition of the bravery of those soldiers and in tribute to their memory, the Germans buried them and placed a cross with the inscription “Drei Brasilianischen Helden” (Three Brazilian Heroes) In honour of the three heroes: Arlindo Lúcio da Silva Geraldo Baeta da Cruz Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza

More than 26 years ago my grandfather passed away. Back then I was only 9 years old. He was one of those Smoking Snakes that needed to fly all the way from Brazil to Italy to fight in the war. Every time I hear this music I keep on remembering the good times I had with him. Thank you, Sabaton, for keeping his memory fresh in my mind, especially now that I no longer live on Brazilian soil.
