@@ryannelson3220 true. If he'd been hit then he'd be dead, which at the beginning of the video at least would have been pointless. I think the point was that Hannes is supposed to have what they called shell shock then which is why he did the mostly insane step of leaving the trench

asca veteran you will likely find the live performance of "en livstid I krig " from Göteborg very emotional, yes, it is in Swedish but there are subtitles (not perfect, but message gets across), very powerful performance and the lyrics are even more so. a few lines from the lyrics. "see me as the husband, fater, friend and son that never comes home" another "on the battlefield where kin/friends fall no songs are heard" or "out there you find no heroics, just death" powerful.

[@athlonen]

The one thing that I love about Sabaton and their songwriting, which is a keypoint for what they do, is how HISTORICALLY ACCURATE they are. This wasn't just a portrayal based on ta concept for the song. This actually happened, as the Christmas Truce took place over World War I, when Pope Benedict begged for peace over because of Christmas. It wasn't the countries that agreed to this; the soldiers did it on their own. It turned out that after this, each country made up their own rules that no truces like this would ever happen again, lest those doing it face court-martial. So this was the only time this ever really happened. T hey exchanged gifts, like those buttons, pictures, etc. and yes, they played soccer with each other and sang carols, and even helped to bury each other's dead. After Christmas Day, they went back to war. Keep in mind that we in the US really didn't hear much about this because we didn't enter World War 1 until 1917, so this happened 3 years before we got involved. So an event like this is huge for those in Europe. BTW, that cross actually exists in Ypres, Belgium.

After the truce was over, many of the men refused to fight their fellow men in combat, despite orders from commanding officers. Thus, many of the men were transferred to other stations. If this truce shows us anything, it's that these men were strong-willed and didn't let the war take away the most important thing about them: their humanity.

All honor to these men! I have also read stories about the battle of Stalingrad between Germans and the Soviets, that when the city was nearly destroyed, the Germans were playing football and having a good time in middle of some destroyed buildings - the Soviet soldiers came there to play with them, and trade food and cigarettes etc. The Soviet forces were so tired to fight over this "useless" city which held the name of "Stalin"grad. They chatted (what they could) and traded and played with the Germans. Everyone was just so fed up with the whole fighting... It's just human nature. Here in Finland we also had a Christmas truce with the Soviets. So the priests can read the bible and everyone can eat, pray and relax but the Soviets bombed us during the whole truce. Priest was standing up beside a trench reading the bible along with mortar-fire around him...

Great Reaction, for more on this topic there is a decent movie (2005) "Joyeux Noel" (Merry Christmas) shows the German, French & British (well a Scottish unit) , sadly when word of these events got out many units were punished and relocated to other sections of the line were the fighting was more savage. and then they made sure on holidays they would launch attacks and such. but the war took a turn and got more deadly esp once GAS started to be used in 1915 some soldier tried to repeat the event of 1914 but were shot .

[@adrianhughes8143]

What are Dunkaroos never heard of them and what ever they are we don't have them in England. Sabaton's latest release is absolutely brilliant and it's a true event that I learned in history class aged 7. I was born in London and bought up there till I was 3 years old but I still call myself a Londoner, we moved to the Country of Hertfordshire ( which in America would be a State). I still live in Hertfordshire but in a town where previously I lived in a village in a 16th century cottage then to a Council house with my younger brother and parents who are Northern Irish and Irish. In WW1 our county had it's own Regiment it was the Hertfordshire Regiment where on Christmas Day 1914 the 1st Battalion of the Hertfordshire Regiment where on No Man's Land celebrating Christmas with the German Soldiers, Smoking, drinking, eating, sharing gifts and signing. I support a football club and a Rugby club both from London, the Rugby Club that I support are the London Irish Rugby Union Football Club which has an alliance with a British Army Regiment, who are The London Irish Regiment who played Football with the German Soldiers on the Christmas Day Truce in 1914. The actual football that was used in that particular sector of No Man's Land is at the Regimental Museum at The London Irish Regiment Barack's. A Major from a British Army Regiment gave his Counterpart from the German Army a scarf that was knitted by his mum for his Christmas Present to the German Major as a Christmas Present so the German Major gave the British Major his gloves as a Christmas gift. They left each other as friends, 3 months later the British Major was killed so sad. The first world war should never happened, The UK and Germany were not only Allies but friends. I blame Kaizer Wilhelm the second, the blood thirsty German Generals, the German Government, Austria/Hungary but most of all Archduke Franz Ferdinand travelling to Serbia on Serbia's Holy day.

Funny how they blew up the instrument of Peace(the piano)but saved the instrument of war(the cross). The soldier called Hannes is Sabaton's drummer Hannes van Dahl. You are right; his wife, Nightwish Frontwoman Floor Jansen, sang the title song on the ending credits. Hannes knew he had to put Floor in or it was the longtime doghouse for him lol. One of the best videos I have seen of Sabaton. They really nailed it.

[@HereticalKitsune]

At first I was wondering why almost no one is wearing helmets (apart from the odd Pickelhaube), but since this is 1914 helmets were not common. The British Brodie Helmet came into service in 1915, German Stahlhelm in 1916... Crazy times. Listening to this song during a spell of depression really got me crying, even after lsitening to it for the umpteenth time. First time listening got me crying too. This song is beautiful, the video is amazing and overall the presentation is just perfection. Not too hard, full of emotion, this could be a timeless classic.

[@Violator41]

I remember reading that for the first few months of WWI the soldiers were wondering just what the hell they were trying to accomplish. When the troops are burying the fallen, one of the Sabaton members (I think it might be Hannes) has this expression on his face like, “What are we doing here?”

See I know this well. But as a kiwi. They buried there dead together. And exchanged items. Was a planned ceasefire due to the heat and disease

[@admiraltiberius1989]

Things like the Christmas truce used to be somewhat common in warfare. Armies would routinely call temporary cease fires to allow for the burial of the dead and collection of the wounded. Or the exchanging of hard to get items and maybe even prisoners. Armies with the same religious beliefs would frequently refuse to give battle on Holy days or significant days. Only in our modern world, the 20th century and beyond, has it really stopped.

[@Torbjorn.Lindgren]

At the start Joakim Broden played keyboard or guitar and the lead vocals. In 2005 they brought in Daniel Myhr to take over the keyboard to offload him. Then in 2012 four of the then 6 members quit to form the band Civil War, this included Myhr, leaving only Joakim and Pär, they're still so there's two founding members left. My understanding is that after that Joakim does the keyboard for the studio recordings. I thought it was tracked live but for the Red Baron during The Great Tour Joakim plays the intro on the airplane, before handing it over to someone else to concentrate on crowd interaction and vocals again. So, that could be a live session player OR it's a stage hand and it's just a prop once Joakim leaves it. If they DID use a live session player for that I suspect they also used him for the other songs (seems a waste not to). Obligatory note: HaNnEs VaN dAhL iS mArRiEd To FlOoR jAnSeN (running joke). Which certainly helps explain why she was the logical choice for the end vocals, though Sabaton and ReVamp has also toured together so even without that there's connections.

Hey Hunterz. This song is so powerful to me, in more than one way. Not just because of the story, which is powerful in and of itself, but because of the lesson this event teaches: That even in the darkest of hours, in the most hellish of landscapes, it is never truly dark, as long as a lone light shines through. It is a reminder that even in war, we can still remember our humanity. And according to one source, where a Christmas truce did happen, after getting together with the men from the Allies on that Christmas Day, the German commander ended up having to retreat his men, because they refused to fight the men they had made friends with. On a musical note, I just now realized that Floor's operatic vocals mimic and mirror Joakim's vocals in the song -- and if my suspicion is correct, it is the pre-chorus and the chorus she sings. This song is one of the most well-done videos to date by Sabaton, and I've seen many that they've done, including Bismarck, Defense of Moscow, Primo Victoria, Carolus Rex, and Fields of Verdun. It never ceases to amaze me how Sabaton shows the grit and darkness, sometimes hopelessness of war, yet at the same time, shows both the pride of those who fought, and the humanity of an inhumane situation.
