lyrics:
There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign
H*tler told the world around he would tear our union down
But our union's gonna break them slavery chains
Our union's gonna break them slavery chains
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky
Could see every farm and every town
I could see all the people in this whole wide world
That's the union that'll tear the fas*ists down, down, down
That's the union that'll tear the fas*ists down
When I think of the men and the ships going down
While the Russians fight on across the Don
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what are we waiting on?
So, I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets
The Allies the whole wide world around
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fas*ists down, down, down
If it takes 'em to tear the fas*ists down But
But when I think of the ships and the men going down
And the Russians fight on across the Don
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what are we waiting on?
So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets
The Allies the whole wide world around
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fas*ists down, down, down
If it takes 'em to tear the fas*ists down

Hello! I'm Eithne - the Irish singer who plays Ella Walsh in episode 6 of Masters of the Air! Thank you all for the lovely comments on my performance :) Head on over to my channel to hear more from me and find my links to streaming/social media if you're interested!

Lovely song with so much power in your lyrics

[@caws6599]

By far the most moving part of the scene is the line “you can have ten million yanks, if it takes them to tear the facists down” because these characters have just gone through 2 episodes where they see how expendable they are, but know that what they are doing is necessary to fight a great evil. Not to mention it’s also the only nod to the Americans, and it feels backhanded by putting a number on how many lives it’s worth to expend, a underlying theme so far.

[@pvtts05]

The juxtaposition of the angelic voice and the horror of war is chilling. Brilliantly done.

[@rocksteadymilitaria541]

yes a great cover song

[@alsvinylcollection]

I was very fortunate to be the one guiding the bomb in this scene. Filming it we had no idea it'd end up in a montage and was a much longer scene, but seeing the final product with this beautiful rendition played over the top it looks perfect. Really love how they interjected this scene of the bomb with the line "The union that'll tear the fascists down".

[@natowaveenjoyer9862]

Wait, we got the singer *and* the ordnance loader in the comments for this video? This is so cool!

[@fitycalibre7555]

That scene paired with this song gave me chills. Does every time I’ve watched the episode

[@rodneydives7385]

my grandfather was a navigator with the R.A.F. and listening to this is really touching ❤️🥲

[@breakingberta7220]

Once in a while in TV/movies you get the emotional punch of an episode but specially this part… my deep congrats to all involved! Holyyyyyyyy fuck! ❤😊

[@eithnemac]

wow - thank you! I'm the Irish singer who plays Ella Walsh :)

[@potentialsideeffects1085]

Woody Guthrie had This Machine Kills Fascists written on his guitar.

[@natowaveenjoyer9862]

Too bad he supported the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Excellent scene. Long live the men and women who freed the world from Nazism. You’ll never be forgotten, nor thanked enough.

[@alexamerling79]

They did Guthrie proud.

Incredibly moving scene and a great rendition of the song. We owe so much to the sacrifices that generation made.

thanks for the info, too bad that new upload is not like the movies version, thats ones more acoustic, the one they listed just does not do it for me lolz @@j.mckerch4320

[@OLMasterChief]

It's not a well-known fact. The Czechs actually helped our bombers by making thousands of "dud" machine gun rounds on the german fighter planes in an attempt to help and prevent the allied bombers' fuel tanks from being detonated by explosive rounds. On a side note, my great grandfather helped liberate North Africa and stormed the beaches of Anzio, Italy. Thank you to all those who sacrificed. American, British, French and of course the soviets!!

[@thomaspaine1776]

imo, episode 3 and 6 was totally a gut-puncher and tearjerker so far.

[@rocksteadymilitaria541]

after watching yesterdays episode and doing the video editing for episode 6 we started to really like this song thats why we made a special upload for it. and after todays WW2 travels for a new episode from relics uncovered we fell in love with the song! check out the original version of this song by Woody Guthrie kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2TbhoOmoN10mdEsi=1_ne7tsUEW1iqeS8

ask the original singer from the song: www.youtube.com/@eithnemac could be it has to do with movie rights as this version is partly movie

The modern singing style was terribly immersion breaking.

Great voice, beautiful song… why the hell was it in the show? Kinda cheesy

[@vipwanrinkle6439]

what?

[@IAmAFamel]

@@vipwanrinkle6439 The entire Crosby part of the episode, they turned it into a rom com. Also this song is cheesy as hell. “Down with Hitler”, yeah cmon, we know that. How about showing why?

[@andrewroberts7428]

i disagree completely, i think it was all put together brilliantly, sounds like the problem lies with you

[@teecteec7631]

@@IAmAFamel it's an actual ww2 song, so it has every right being in the show. It's a juxtaposition that shows the difference between this hopeful song and the harsh reality for the captured allied soldiers. While at the same point showing the brutal death toll that was accepted with the line "you can have 10 million yanks". There is no reason for you to moan about it.

[@lake_n_nem]

to evoke emotions that the war had caused.

[@Winterfellen]

Physically cringed when the song thanks the Soviets.

[@MichalKaczorowski]

Why? The Soviets were instrumental in defeating Hitler.

[@rocksteadymilitaria541]

the soviets did most of the dirty work they were already fighting for 5 years before the allies took one step in europe, they defeated complete german army's they lost 28 million people, compared to +- 40.000 americans. without the soviet there would had been no normandy landing even possible.

[@rocksteadymilitaria541]

without laying down the heroism from the allied soldiers in west-europe but compared with what the soviets had to endure it was "just a mopping up" operation, the Kurks battle alone was 5x bigger then the normandy landings, and that was just 1 of hundreds large battles

[@deoravin9039]

I have seen dumb people but you have to be the dumbest animal on earth… without the Russians help this word would be very VERY different.

[@justinkautz7733]

@@rocksteadymilitaria541 While I agree with you challenging the guy above here who said he cringed, the Soviets were absolutely not "fighting for 5 years before the allies took one step in Europe." The Soviets were backstabbing Poland while working with the Nazis while the French and British were trying to stop the Nazis from breaking through the Ardennes. It was only after Hitler betrayed them that they started fighting, just a few months before Pearl Harbor. That being said, they did do the heavy lifting when it comes to ground combat from 1941-1945.

Back when music had true meaning behind the lyrics.
