Vet Reacts to SABATON - Bismarck (Official Music Video) By SABATON

[@richardwest6358]

The guy holding the watch at the end is the son of the Bismark survivor. He died just after the video was shot.

[@Flipomat1]

The Bismark survivor died - not the son.

[@traphimawari7760]

That's very misleading m8

[@deadstar9507]

Wait is it the son that died or the survivor i'm very confused

[@JustMikeWithAK47]

@@deadstar9507 yep, its the son

[@mikemike9643]

Hello from Russia. eternal memory to the sailors of the cruiser Hood!!!.

[@anniebalsbaugh2093]

No interrupting, yes! Shows respect for story and artist

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Three more videos I would recommend in particular: The remaining Animated story videos for No Bullets Fly, Night Witches, and Lady of the Dark. For the first one in particular, I do recommend tissues. It does hit pretty hard. And Lady of the Dark contains a neat little nugget if you know your military medals and awards...

I concur. And it has to be the Animated Music Videos.

[@johnsullivan659]

YEP 3 OF THE BEST

[@thesage1096]

@ has to

[@Cypher137]

fun fact, the charts for the AA guns on the Bismarck were setup for more modern and therefore faster planes, which made it extremly difficult for the german AA crews to hit the attacking Swordfishs, another fun fact, the ships cat survived the sinking of the Bismarck and afterwards the sinking of 2 or 3 british ships before the cat was forbidden to enter british warships

[@orlandobraun2016]

The theme of this video was developed by Sabaton in collaboration with Wargaming for their game World of Warship. All the cinematic scenes of the video are done in CGI and by combining actors in Live Action. Greetings from Argentina.

[@ryanwight9116]

Easily one of my favorite Sabaton songs. The top favorite goes to “To Hell and Back” which does an incredible job of not just showing Audie Murphy’s exploits but also the PTSD he suffered from BTW, I’m still going to suggest “the first soldier” animated story video

[@AmericansLearn]

It's on the list

[@lukanovak1492]

First Soldier is Sabaton's worst song! Why would you suggest that? He should react to songs like Final Solution, Stalingrad, Resist and Bite...

[@Gamer0049]

I saw them perform this live just about 2 weeks ago in Cologne. While the song on its own is already a banger, let me tell you, it is WAY better as a live performance. Greetings from Germany.

[@AmericansLearn]

Wow. I'll def have to see if I can find a live video then

[@miafranlund6982]

Stopping by and watching your reactions to Sabaton has now started to be a thing.

[@AmericansLearn]

Glad to hear it;!

[@scottfarley3644]

The Old Man is the Young Man who survived. he brings people out to see the Ghosts of the Battle. he starts with the compass Captain Lindemann gives him as a boy and ends with the compass. The location of the Bismarck is engraved on the compass.

[@ryannelson3220]

correct, its a "Compass" not a pocket watch

[@iKvetch558]

Interesting addendum to the story...not long after the sinking of the Bismarck, the US Navy began to take up an ever increasing responsibility for the defense of the sea lanes in the North Atlantic. In July of 1941, the US landed the 1st Marine Brigade in Iceland to take over the defense of that island from the UK, who had invaded Iceland in May of 1940 to ensure that Germany would not be able to take control of it. The US declared the Atlantic as far east as Iceland to be part of the Pan American Security Zone, and US Navy ships began to take up escort duties from the US to Iceland...on September 10 the US Atlantic Fleet expanded their operations to escort convoys all the way from Halifax to Britain, and the USS Reuben James was the first US warship sunk by a U-Boat on October 31, 1941. Months before the US was officially in the war, the US was already in an undeclared war with Germany, and real war between the US and Germany was inevitable regardless of Japanese actions.

[@chriscarter9558]

Interesting note at the begining of the video it is the actual BBC announcement of the battle between the Bismark and the HMS Hood

[@ptprojektred]

I was lucky enough to see them live in Munich a couple weeks ago. The atmosphere was crazy when they played this song aswell as the Red Baron and Swedish Pagans, those where the highlights of the show for me. The entire stadium sang along. If you enjoy Sabaton you have to go to one of their concerts! They are even better live and its a one of the kind and (at least it feels like) a very personal and unique experience each time. Can't wait till they come back.

[@carterrice8390]

Bro the fact that one ship was enough to send a whole fleet after it says something

[@Silviu86syd]

To TRY to comprehend how massive the ship was, at the FIRST shots from the cannons, the recoil was so MASSIVE, that it broke the radar sistem!

[@WaywardVet]

And still the largest battleship in history with a confirmed ship to ship kill, I believe. I don't think Hotel Yamato ever sunk another surface vessel. Plenty of planes, but nothing like Bismark taking out the Hood.

[@WaywardVet]

When you're scrolling, slow for Sabaton, then go "wait, thats the Chicago guy" and you like before the video even starts.

[@fenrisulfur842]

As a Grandson of a Veteran of the Battle of the Atlantic, this song means a lot. May all the brave seamen rest in peace, and may it will never happen again

[@alancarter41]

great reaction to a banger of a song and an awesome music video thanks to World of Warships CGI. And kudos to Sabaton for actually going out on a small boat on the open sea to film the band shots instead of staying in a safe, warm stage with a green screen. An interesting fact that is never discussed is the role the US Navy played in the pursuit and sinking of the Bismark. US Navy PBY Catalinas were already assisting the British in patrolling for German warships off the coast of Greenland and Iceland, even though the US was officially neutral. The US Coast Guard also had ships deployed in the North Atlantic to engage in search and rescue of ships damaged or sunk in the fighting. At one point, the Bismark had shaken off the British, who were actually looking in the wrong direction for him. Unfortunately for the Bismark, a Coast Guard vessel spotted her distinctive silhouette and radioed the information to US naval command. The message was picked up by a US Navy PBY, who located the Bismark and provided the information the British needed to intercept him.

[@thsmuller]

The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting on her keel at a dept of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft), about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. 48°10′N 16°12′W

[@anniebalsbaugh2093]

Yes, no pauses...awesome work!

[@anniebalsbaugh2093]

White knuckles I just realized! So moving!

[@ТушканчикПолевой]

Thank you for the great reaction, I would like to see your reaction to another nautical theme Sabaton-Dreadnought, a beautiful composition, with a great sound, a powerful voice of Joakim and a brilliant solo from Tommy, which makes goosebumps run through the body

[@zdreamsummoner3271]

Pls do Lady of the Dark by Sabaton

[@amygoodson-catlady]

Lady Of The Dark, animated story video...its a great song and story!

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

@@amygoodson-catlady Absolutely agree. Also curious if he spots the rather special medal she got - which is shown in the video..

[@amygoodson-catlady]

@@ranekeisenkralle8265 We will see...!

[@robertallan8035]

I would recommend the last stand very highly.

[@Mrjobe_]

You have seen Sabatons history channel too i assume....

[@ryannelson3220]

its a Compass, not a "pocketwatch" in which he was given......the person who was given it, died before the music video, so who you saw was the actual son of the person who received it

[@saminalam6647]

I am going to recommend you to devil dogs by Sabaton.

[@mega-chad8809]

Isn’t that picture in the thumbnail from the song Uprising? Not Bismarck?

[@lennartschneider9971]

If you want listen to Something very cool watch No Bullets Fly and The Last Battel both Shows a very interessting Side of The war 😊 keep Up with The content

[@hayatofury8580]

Sabaton -White Death could also be great one to react to =)

[@Ancient_War]

As impressive as Bismarck and her sister ship Tripitz were, Japan’s battleships Yamato and Musashi were much larger (almost, but not quite, twice Bismarck’s tonnage), had twice the German’s ships weight in guns, and would have defeated them easily. They just didn’t have Bismarck’s destructive record and legend. Otto Lindemann, Bismarck’s captain during its eight month reign of terror in the Atlantic was an incredible tactician and commander. Japan misused its huge ships, never truly risking them in combat, and their commanders were definitely not in the same class as Lindemann. In fact, in the end, knowing it could not keep fueling such a beast or feeding its crew of more than 3,000 men, Japan sent Yamato on a suicide mission to attempt gun cover of troops on Okinawa. Only given enough fuel to make it to Okinawa, but not return to Japan, she never made it to the island instead being sunk by American destroyers.

[@sonnimllegaard3636]

You should do sabotan dreadnought next

[@anniebalsbaugh2093]

Does anyone know where the History Channel went...?? *crickets*....

[@liamc9998]

I personally doubt that there’s anything as cool - to me personally anyways - as a battleship coming out of the mist.

[@bulldowozer5858]

-small correction... a Ship is NOT a boat! A ship can carry boats, but a boat can't carry ships.-

[@PeteOtton]

Tugboats may not be able to carry a ship, but they can sure push ships around :)

[@faultier8166]

It took about 50 ships to hunt down the Bismarck and then we Germans blew up the ship so it wouldn't be sunk

[@On_My_Way_to_Eternity]

Thank you! That was so nice and kind of you Germans!🙃

[@faultier8166]

@@On_My_Way_to_Eternity It was a matter of pride not to say that the Bismarck was sunk by the Allies🤨

[@On_My_Way_to_Eternity]

@@faultier8166 Just teasing you! 🙂 I think it wasn't just pride. The Bismarck was unable to maneuver, so it couldn't go anywhere. So, it made sense militarily to scuttle the ship rather than risk being captured by the Brits. It also saved the lives of some of the German sailors.

[@kingsosshootaiwillslapcash6300]

Americans learn ?!?!? Wtf happen to “ Chicago reacts”

[@xJamesLaughx]

Nothing, it is still going this is just another channel they have to keep their more learning based videos like history stuff etc.

[@AmericansLearn]

What James said. Americans Learn is currently sort of a catch all-we can react to all sorts of different things here. Reacts is still going strong, it's just mostly gaming. We are trying to branch out. Hope to see you back at Reacts soon too!!
