SABATON - The Unkillable Soldier | Singer Reacts |

[@chriso6719]

Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart served in 3 wars, Boer War, WW I , and WW II. Although this Sabaton album, The War To End All Wars , focuses on WW I. Yes, wounded many times. Shot in the eye, ankle, leg, hip, stomach, face, head, and ear. Survived 2 plane crashes, tunneled out of a prisoner of war camp, and tore off his own fingers when the doctors refused to amputate. All those wounds, and he survived, and lived until age 83. Sir Adrian , in this video, is played by Indy Neidell. Indy co-hosts most episodes on their history channel, with either Joakim or Par. More from Sabaton to try: any of the animated story videos, suggest starting with Night Witches or No Bullets Fly.

He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear, Was blinded in one eye, Tunneled out of a POW camp, Survivef 2 plane crashes, tore off his own fingers when a doctor refused to amputate his arm. When describing his experience in ww1 he wrote "frankly, i enjoyed the war" Also something about "only the civillians enjoy a war ending, a true soldier wishes war never ends" 😂

He was shot in his face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear, he was blinded in his left eye, survived 2 plane crashes, tunneled out of a POW camp and when a doctor refused, he amputated 2 of his own fingers to return to the front line, later the arm was amputated because the finger stumps had gotten infected. He served in both WW1 and WW2, he is the only man to ever get the highest militay award from 3 different countries. He was also knighted 4 times in the UK and knighted 1 time in Belgium

[@pleasehelp2446]

When asked about his experiences he responded "Frankly... I enjoyed the wars'"

[@princeoftonga]

One of the stories about Adrian Carton de Wiart was after he lost his eye. Having been released from hospital in England he was told to go to a place in London to get a glass eye. He felt it was a needless bother but he went and picked out a fake eye. Then in a cab on the way to the train station to go back to the front the glass eye was bothering him so he took it out, threw it out of the cab window, stopped at a costume shop to buy an eyepatch and went straight back to France.

[@MacOriginalGamer]

Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart was the epitome of FULL CHAD! Dude was high speed, low drag!

[@adamschank7703]

In the song, the battle of Passchendaele was mentioned. They actually have a song about that battle, as well. It's called "The Price of a Mile". Fair warning: it's also pretty heartbreaking. Also, if you are interested in learning more about what the songs are about, they have a KZbin channel called Sabaton History that goes in depth into each song's meaning.

[@justahologram2230]

Great reaction. For more Sabaton you should check out the animated story videos to Night Witches, Lady of the Dark and No Bullets Fly, the last one still makes my eyes water even if I have seen 20+ reactors react to it. Have a nice day and keep the good reactions coming.

[@jc_da_killa7132]

I would love a side series where you have a look at sabaton’s history channel after watching the song to learn all the history behind the songs in a lot of detail. Also fun fact the guy that played the solider in the video clip is Indy neidell who is sabaton’s historian. He features in a few of there videos.

[@melkor3496]

I hope she reacts to their Sabaton history channel too for the songs going forward but I feel like she won’t. :(

[@HeavyTopspin]

Just have to point out that "Sabaton's Historian" is the greatest job title on the planet.

[@muninn9674]

i love how this video really can be summarized with the words: "band tries to murder their historian repeatedly"

[@swbigfan1]

If you want to stay in the hard stuff, check out "night witches". On the other hand if you'd like to change up your Sabaton experience then check out "Christmas Truce". And if you go with Christmas Truce then go with the official music video and let the credits run.

[@najroe]

great reaction, more please. Sabaton has a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 100 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but, watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly Night witches Lady of the dark Red baron first soldier Epic official videos. Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Covervof if the Mötörhead song, 1916 , sad song about being a soldier that gets lost in the war and is forgotten by everyone. and the cover of Radio tapoks Defence of Moscow is also good, these are just some, there are plenty more.

[@Wrathlon]

I love how much Sabaton gives these stories the absolutely epic emotional feelings they deserve. Its also crazy to me that normal people can find themselves in war and be like "Yes, this is where I belong" and proceed to tear a path across histories battlefields like they were born for it. I beg you to watch Lady of the Dark next, her story is fucking unreal.

[@thezaret639]

we are talking about a guy who survived several plane crashes about 30 injuries to his body during war time. served through 3 wars and till the end was the perfect soldier and gentleman, he straight up told chairman mao to his face that he didnt like him. this was a man who truly found a home on the battlefield he enjoyed war

[@thezaret639]

he also after one plane crash swam a guy ashore this was after his arm injury

[@trynox4fun259]

Basically this dude told death itself " *fuck off, im not done yet* "

[@AHVENAN]

I really think their cover of Motörheads 1916 should be next in your journey of discovering Sabaton, but I warn you, you're probably going to want to have some kleenex within reach if you do that one, cause it's an extremely sad story portrayed in a very emotional way!

When Sir Adrian began the WW1 campaign he randomly chose Mein Leben difficulty and he just kept it there all the way through the WW2 DLC as well and when he finally got tired of the game,he simply logged out and never touched the game again.All us NPC's still in the open world began to tell stories about him and the fact is that somewhere he sits in a chair smoking cigars and drinking whisky, waiting for the upcoming WW3 DLC so he can once again join the game.

Yes Ray! More Sabaton, keep 'em coming, you have many to go. Can I suggest "En Livstid i Krig" (A Lifetime of War) next? Chose the Live in Gothenburg ❤🤙 And as others have said, reaction to Sabaton History would be awesome. They have history videos of many of their songs. And lastly, if you find a story interesting. Do seek our more info, they are often remarkable, amazing stories. Like Adrian, or the last stand of the Swiss guard (Last Stand, amazing song).

Another little tidbit from this video is the actor who played Anton. His name is Indy Neidel. Indy is the Host of The Sabaton History channel, as well as "The Great War" (A week by week breakdown of the first world war on all fronts), as well as the "Work War II" Channel (also a week by week breakdown). He is also in another Sabaton music video of "the seven pillars of wisdom."

Lieutenant Colonel Adrian Carton de Wiart was critically injured nine times during WW1. Like shot in the eye, shot through the head, shot in the stomach and lost his hand. He even survived 2 plane crashes and many others. He also ripped out is own fingers as a doctor refused to operate at his request, so Adrian did it himself XD. Though recieving many and life threatening Injuries he return to fighting as soon as he woke up or when he personally felt he was better or able to walk. Despite all this He acutally said this despite recieving multiply injuries and being in many wars, he said and I quote "I enjoyed the war". Being part of Boer war before WW1 then WW1 and later WW2 until he retired. Having recieved 10 medals of honor from different nations, mostly Britain. Despite all that happen, he married a countess at 28 and died peacefully around his family at 83 This is what the singer Joakim Broden had to say himself about Adrian Carton de Wiart. "Adrian Carton de Wiart was Belgian-born and fighting for the British in World War I but had also fought earlier in the Boer War and further back. He was almost like a comic book character, this over-the-top super-soldier who just wouldn’t die no matter what the enemy threw at him. He’s one of the craziest people I’ve ever read about, so we decided to do something different for him. It’s a playful song, somehow."

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. Sabaton has toured with, among others, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Hammerfall.

[@Drakefance5]

Sabaton energy is very contagious, you just can't sit still listening to them. One of their songs, "Ghost Division", Is one of their better hype songs. Alternatively you've got sadder stuff like their live performance of "en livstid i krig", it's in swedish but well worth a watch with subtitles on. There's also the animated story videos like "No bullets fly" If you want more of a wholesome yet sad story with your music.

[@johnzushin198]

The best thing about Sabaton songs are the history and the energy they put behind the songs. I just love them!!! Amazing reaction as always ❤

Look up Full Moon by Sonata Arctica. The song is masterfully written, to the point that they even use gallop picking to give a sense of a werewolf running through a field.

Hello from Sweden 🥰 Awesome reaction as always 😀 Would be epic to see you react to Sabaton and Ghost Division the offical live video.

[@bigenglishmonkey]

i say all the time that the term "greatest generation" should be expanded to both world wars, and not just because they were soo close together that some people (like Adrian) fought in both, but because when you look deep into both wars the sheer amount of individuals on all sides who accomplished superhuman feats just makes them look like a planet wide version of the Greek age of heroes.

[@MarLin67]

If any man ever has been a badass then Adrian has to be the one earning that titel thats for sure! So now I will stand up and do a salute for this superhero! Chairs for Adrian! Great reaction as always! And I love to watch you discovering the treasures of Sabaton! If I may suggest a video for you too react to it would be Sabaton, en livstid i krig, (A life time of war.) The live version from Gothenburg, Sweden. It is about the 30 year war and the swedish boys and men that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country Sweden and their king. In a war that lasted 30 years boys and men where sent to the battlefields for their whole life time if they where lucky. Most of them died on the battlefields of the 1600s europe. Remember to put the captions on, They sing in swedish and they have a audience of 14000 natives singing along in the Scandinavium arena in Göteborg (Gothenburg). This video is epic and I guarantee lots of goosebums and emotions! Love your reactions and keep doing what you are doing! Love from Sweden! 💛💙

Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC, was wounded many times, notably, he was shot in the stomach and groin during the Boer War, he then went to Somaliland (Somali, now officially part of Somalia) and was shot twice in the face, losing his eye. Following recovery from these wounds, he demanded to be sent to the Western Front during WW1 (promising to use a glass eye, which he did not, always using an eye patch instead). He was wounded seven more times during WW1, notably, taking shell fragments to his hand in 1915 and pulling off his own fingers when Doctors initially refused to amputate (remaining in active service now with one eye and one arm), shot in the head (again) in 1916, and through the hip and then later the leg during 1917. Winning the British Empire's highest award for valour the Victoria Cross in 1916. Following the end of WW1 he was sent to Poland to be part of the Allied mission during the conflict following the Russian Revolution, he loved the country and remained there throughout the inter-war years as a sort of quasi-landed gentleman/British representative. Predictably he was in Poland when the Soviets and Germans invaded in 1939. He linked his household with the British Embassy staff and some Polish military and was part of the escape from Poland across a rapidly war-torn Europe. Upon returning to Britain he insisted he be allowed active service and was given command in the disastrous 1940 Norwegian campaign, he escaped this unwounded, arriving back in Britain on his 60th birthday. He was next supposed to be sent to Yugoslavia to support the partisan movement there but his plane was shot down and after rescuing the pilot (swimming around a mile to shore) he was captured and made a prisoner of war. As a POW he was incarcerated with other high-ranking and troublesome Allied prisoners in the Italian's highest security camp Castello di Vincigliata Campo. He and around a half-dozen others managed to escape, and what followed was an epic attempt by himself and his companions (all over the age of 50, not one able to speak passable Italian) pretending to be peasants and evading capture for around a week, but inevitably being recaptured. Eventually, as the Italian Fascist government began to collapse they sent Sir Adrian back to Britain with the promise to represent the Italian government and stay out of the War, but he did neither. He was sent to China and represented British concerns in the Sino-Japanese War, famously insulting the later Chairman Mao to his face and getting a laugh (as opposed to a bullet). Finally, feeling somewhat his age, in his mid-60's he set out to return to Britain, and on his way home seriously hurt himself falling down some stairs. Finally laid up and without an active war to fight he retired from official service, was convinced to write a rather odd, rambling, yet entertaining memoir and died peacefully in 1963 at the age of 83. He was indeed an immensely formidable character, probably borderline insane, and definitely a relic of the Victorian English Officer and Gentry mindset made manifest.

"Sir Adrian made fictional superheroes look like wimps." Nicely put - and it cracked me up. Thank you for that.

7:24 "That's crazy" Maybe, but it isn't the craziest thing he did. After the war he was stationed as some sort of attache in China where he took part in a formal dinner with Chairman Mao - yes, THAT Mao. And he had the balls to tell him to his f*in' face that he despised communism! How's that for crazy? This dude was nuts - in more ways than one. So much so that the foreword to his memoires "Happy Odyssee" was writen by a guy you may have heard of - one Sir Winston L. S. Churchill. Yes. THAT Winston Churchill. Edit: As for recommendations, let me copy you the list i posted under your video on Bismarck: Almost all of their music is based on history - with the exception of their very early songs. And on occasion they throw the audience a curveball by either doing something random on an album of theirs, or Joakim doing a collaboration with someone else.. Two notable examples of the latter that come to my mind would be Babymetal's "Oh Majinai" and Nanowar of Steel's "Passadena 1994" As for Sabaton's own songs, the various animated story videos are a must-listen as you are also given some background to the song. Warning: Make sure to bring tissues when listening to those of "No Bullets Fly" and "Night Witches". Beyond those animated story videos, my recommentations would be Christmas Truce Seven Pillars of Wisdom The Last Stand Winged Hussars and an in my opinion underrated favourite of mine: "Blood of Bannockburn"

That man is a bloody legend. He left behind his law studies to CHOOSE to go to war, thinking it was his calling in life, and was convinced destiny was real and he would only die when it was his time and not a second earlier. And seeing he regretted NOTHINg of his carreer and died of old age, he was probably right on both accounts

[@Sabre22]

To continue the Shot through the eye story. When he went before the medical board in order to go back to the front. They initially denied him permission because if he was captured or killed they did not want the Germans to think that the British were so desperate for officers that they were sending one eyed officers to the front. So he went and got a glass eye and went back to the medical board and they APPROVED him to go back to the front. When he got out side of the board building he took his glass eye out and threw it away and NEVER wore one again.

03:45 He wasn't shot through the eye, not actually. In Sudan, a shot from a Mahdist insurgent grazed his left eyeball and basically destroyed it. He later had what remained of his eyeball taken off and replaced by a glass prothesis. Which he didn't like but still got to momentarily have the doctors and his superiors leave him alone with that. Then he simply discarded it and replaced it with a most piratey-looking black eyepatch.
