Josef Gangl is seen by the Austrians as a hero and has a street named after him in Wőrgl, Tyrol. Thats a huge honor for a german soldier from WWII

[@anlydaly5726]

This is actually only the second strangest battle in the end of ww2. The actual strangest "battle" was known as Operation Cowboy in which Americans Germans and a banished Russian Prince and his followers worked together to save Austrian horses.

[@AmericansLearn]

well that's bonkers

[@anlydaly5726]

Yes it is, and there was actually a movie made about it

[@FancyNaeser53]

@@anlydaly5726 Whats the name?i must watch it🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ancient_War]

@@FancyNaeser53It’s a 1963 Disney movie called “Miracle of the White Stallions” starring Robert Taylor. It has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 73.

[@RandomFurry07]

with Cossacks

[@tntfreddan3138]

Sad part is that Josef Gangl was the only casualty among the defenders of the castle. The man that had seen it all. But the only thing he didn't get to see was peace. He died at the age of 34.

[@SoMuchFacepalm]

mans epilogue was a bruh moment.

[@melkor3496]

That this battle doesn’t have a movie yet is a crime.

[@32a34a]

It will. It will be called The Last Battle.

[@gryphonosiris2577]

Apparently Studio Canal was working on a movie based on this before the pandemic started, but I haven't heard if it was moving forward at all.

[@eerokivisto5103]

In case you're wondering, there are videos of Indy's piano performance on youtube

[@stonewall01]

Yes! I was waiting for this one. This is an amazing story. I truly do not understand why this is not more well known. But I will say that I did not know about it until I heard this song. Sabaton is really doing a great thing.

[@AmericansLearn]

they are great at finding lesser known stories and shining a light on them for sure

[@Pterodactylus548]

"Indy Neidell playing sabaton songs on a piano at Sabaton cruise 2022" - It's being recorded, not by a pro team, but still!

[@LuoSon312_G8]

they forgot about the Olympic tennis star that vaulted the castle walls to call for aid when the radios were destroyed.

[@najroe]

as usual a great reaction and a fun time with the metal bards of history. there are several Sabaton songs that should be movies and/or series...

[@lunarquickstrike9016]

how is this battle not in the upcoming biopic film is beyond me, at least natgeo's hitler's last stand episode covered it

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

Because it goes against Hollywood's narrative that all Germans are evil Nazis, even modern Germans.

[@homesteadlegion4419]

Its actually really sad that the song isnt theat successful, its one of my favourites, it has such a grsat flow and feels so uplifting

[@lblb5428]

If I can ask, for the next sabaton history reaction, can you try "Far From The Fame"?

[@FrogmanAnime]

Oh Indy and Sabaton have already done the bar piano thing and I think you’ve actually watched it. It’s in one of the later Sabaton histories on the actual Sabaton cruise of that year

[@anderswiik7432]

i missed your face man,my fault,not yours 🫡 Sabaton US tour coming up,js 🙏🤘🇸🇪❤️🇺🇸

[@mrlizardtx]

My favorite Sabaton song/story combination.

[@Billy01113]

This story desperatly needs a movie 🤣

[@george217]

Another weird thing is the case of the Japanese diplomat who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust...

[@sirboomsalot4902]

And, on the complete opposite end, the Nazi Party official who saved thousands of Chinese from the Rape of Nanking

[@kornaros96]

Savatage - Chance

[@bigenglishmonkey]

frankly given the sides involved i think the british and japanese one is a contender for strangest battle. British, indian, japanese, and french troops under a british commander VS japanese troops and vietnamese communists. i dont know what indy's video on it is like but if you're interested theres a video called "British Vietnam War - Operation Masterdom 1945" by the history chap that goes in depth. also, for your own safety, dont mention the allies vs the underwater aliens again. i heard the whistleblower who leaked those documents has never been seen again.

[@BerraLJ]

Song was catchy enough for sure :)

[@whitechapel8959]

You should hear the song of "Father" by sabiton. He made tue gas, by my grandfather made his machines.

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

you should check out "1916" a non military related song you could review is "skid row - 18 and life" if you're into metal(it's 80's hair metal)

[@xJamesLaughx]

Yeah Disney would try and make say Joseph Gangl into Josephine Gangl and make her some other ethicity other than German and she would be a strong independant female leader who single handedly saves all the French prisoners and other soldiers involved cause she does not need men to do anything to help her LMAO!!!

[@naphackDT]

Jenny is enough female representation. Though she is a bit of a tragic heroine, dying to hold the gatehouse.

[@stuartfaulds1580]

And probably cast an actress of African descent to play her.

[@cuffzter]

there was female representation at the castle though, as one of the hostages was deGaulles sister. I also think Schrader brought his wife and kids to make the resistance trust him.

[@moonshine6304]

Not the Incel

[@moonshine6304]

​@naphackDT a true american heroine

[@eTraxx]

Disney would make all the defenders black and gay

[@SoMuchFacepalm]

Black and gay nazis. Sounds legit.

[@lupoavanti5666]

Because Grandma Said so 😂

[@thatonebritishidiot3037]

black gay nazi germans...I'd watch that tbh, sounds like a good comedy set up

[@RandomFurry07]

​@@thatonebritishidiot3037+damage to actual Nazis Since they both hated these lmao

[@BigSexyWizard]

This is a story that if written correctly could be a hilarious comedy action movie set in WW2.

[@RandomFurry07]

And Gangl should be the protagonist

[@peo4989]

This sounds almost like the movie with clintan "Kellys heroes" haha

[@melkor3496]

9:29 + Wehrmacht soldiers loyal to Gangl lol.
