VIKING REACTS | SABATON - "40:1"

I'm Polish-American, and I guarantee every Pole sings "And the Allies turned Away" from Uprising with complete contempt. I know in my little black heart that I do. i think my Grandpa would've been proud of me. Hope you have a great Christmas!

[@adelardj7026]

6:18 This is Jerzy Owsiak, Creator of polish Woodstock festival. The flag was a surprise, Joakim didn't know that it gonna show up for the song 😉

[@Rug0s]

Fun Fact: Sabaton is the only band that received an officer sword from the Archbishop of Poland.

[@Happymali10]

This song made them very famous in poland, at once concert a few years before this one they were visited by the Arch-Bishop of the area where the battle took place, and he gifted Joakim a sword from the treasury as a sign of gratitude for shining a light on polish history.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Iirc it was specifically because of Sabaton that Polish history classes began teaching if the Battle of Wizna and other acts of Polish defiance. These events had been covered up by the Soviets when Poland was a puppet state after the war.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

The guy you isolated with Joakim was the promoter of the show, he does an impromptu speech to the crowd then they break out into the Polish anthem - it is a magical moment. Fun reaction Viking as always.

[@killert41]

well he screamed to them "JESZCZE POLSKA NIE" and that was enough for thousands

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

I don’t have a drop of Polish blood, but dang do I love them. Their guts, resilience, patriotism, and willingness to fight is inspiring.

[@bacco0447]

You should watch the all live, the story of the condom before the song was hilarious and after 40:1 the crowd started singing the polish anthem

[@VikingReacts]

Eventually I will :)

[@krzysztofbanek592]

Woodstock in Poland is the largest rock concert, possibly not only a rock concert in the world, which is 3 days long. And usually there are from 500,000 people to 750,000

[@adamwrobel5589]

In Europe yes. Record was at Prodigy around 1mil. Im there each year so stunning to be part of those legendary event!

[@JohanHaagg]

@@adamwrobel5589 Acctually, Rob Stewart performed for a crowd of almost 3.5 million back in 1994. And in Europe it was actually Monsters of Rock in 1991 in Moscow, which drew a crowd of 1.6 million. So sorry, but Prodigy is not even in the top 10.

[@adamwrobel5589]

[@jancmyon4240]

You are absolutely right about them having a blast while performing. My kid calls Joakim's smile "the babysmile" (so pure so innocent so real) And every time I leave their conserts I have the biggest smile, exhausted but smiling.

[@ZETH_27]

I'm a swede feeling national pride for Poland! Sabaton is amazing! Keep remembering the stories they tell us, because they're really important! I'd heavily recommend reacting to Hearts of Iron. Not only is the name from the game HoI4, but the lyrics and story are amazing! It's also a different look at what - among others - the German 12:th Army did during the final days of WW2.

[@movemelody1]

Sabaton is a great band.🌹 Lovely, nice guys.🎶💕

Always OK to listen to a great song twice. It just makes it twice as good! 🤘

[@VikingReacts]

Haha, who knows...next time?

[@kristoffer-2614]

8:03 "i need to go!" Yes! You absolutely have to see Sabaton live when the world goes back to normal. I remember seeing Sabaton live in Gothenburg in 2017 together with my father and it was an amazing experience

[@MrThePrankstar]

I'm new to your videos, so I don't know how much you are into the history, But I wanted to add to the context of song's impact: In Poland, 80-85% of society didn't even knew that there was something like Battle of Wizna. Hell, it wasn't even mentioned in history textbooks, and Polish Wikipedia had only a very few lines covering it. After Sabaton made 40:1, and CrusadeNR (hope I remember correctly the nickname of guy) made the fan-video, the song broke through, and now: 1) The article on Polish Wikipedia is somewhat longer than the one about Battle of Bzura (average Pole will go to Wikipedia and that's all). 2) Wizna is mentioned in every history texbooks (and yes, there are notes about Sabaton in them!) 3) The remains of cpt. Raginis were indentified and were buried on Góra Strękowa in remains of the bunker in 2011 (3 years after the song's creation). Sabaton songs about Poland really unite us, Poles - when "40:1" came out, Poland just faced early parliamentary election (and there was kind of turmoil). When "Uprising" came out, it came only a month after Smolensk plane crash. And so on. Big probs to Kuracyja for providing this info on the Sabaton History video. I just had i checked, and it's absolute true from what I can find. And that just makes it so much more cool in my world Also. Sabaton's videos have insane production value. These guys don't do anything halfassed .. So if you gonna react to a song twice, do the original, and a live please :P

[@ErikWidlund]

How can you not love Sabaton. I was able to see'em live in Gothenburg februari 2020 before Covid destroyed everything. I was there in the crowed singing "En livstid i krig". I can really recommend watching Sabaton live :D

[@rastaman4180]

[@michaelmiller1103]

In my top 5 of Sabaton songs, you picked the best live performance I feel because as good as this song is, to perform it to a Polish crowd, it just hits much harder! The flag definitely blocked the view of half the crowd but you can see the pride of the ones underneath it They are loving it, as they should! Such an awesome show of respect to the people, pyro and all kinds of stage effects are cool but such a simple thing adds so much to this performance, and I agree with other comments, if you get time, watch the whole Woodstock set, the information/banter between songs, including the inflated condom make this an awesome show all around Another great reaction, looking forward to the next 😀 Skål as always

[@audreyhutchison8159]

Sabaton, just have to listen again and again and again!

[@one42chrisp]

I saw Sabaton in a small club, 700 capacity, and it was awesome. To make it even better, the opening act was Revamp with Floor Jansen :)

[@LianteakaLia]

With Sabaton, if you want to listen to a song twice in a row.. Go for it! :D There is no such thing as too much Sabaton.

[@hboplus1]

This entire show was so epic, amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Best reaction ever.

[@edwardnelson9807]

Another great one man. Love your reactions. I'd say uprising is my favorite from this show. But in all honesty this entire show is fucking epic!

[@LianteakaLia]

I can't agree more. This show is one of my all time favourites as far as live shows go. And Uprising from this show is just magical. Be ready for even more Polish pride! I'm Swedish and both 40:1 and Uprising makes me want to start singing the Polish anthem. :P

[@detroitpolak9904]

Probably will sound like a know-it-all, but, the plan was for Poland to hold for two weeks. France would attack Germany's lightly defended west, followed by Britain. They both wussed out. Poland held for Four Weeks (reference the book The Eagle Unbowed) even after the Soviets invaded on Sept. 17th. They stayed at Wizna per the plan.

[@VikingReacts]

Never ever be ashamed of knowledge ;). Thanks for the context!

Favourite, you said...?😉 It usually lasts until the next Sabaton song!😄 At least, that's how it works for me! I can't just pick one Sabaton song as a favourite song. It's impossible! 😁 But I agree with you that this song is amazing. And this live performance is like nothing else! 💪🤘 Great reaction, btw!

[@nancyjanzen5676]

They were an opening act. They recorded 40:1 and a fan made a music video they didnt know about. They came back to hero status in Poland. They had to rework the fan video to handle some copyright issues. But much of it is like what the fan made.

[@Nem01]

Already great.

[@jojoericsson5018]

40 to 1 thats my kinda ods ;) they playing on umeå rock every year and are a nice bunch to mingle whit after wards^^ a cuople of years ago 2 of my friends ho are whelchair bound was and seen them and was craud in the front row they was liften up and set on the speakers on the ceen and was sitting there the rest of the consert so they are not only a godband they looking after there fans to :)

[@zamerdajogonkiem]

I didn't find an answer to your question at 6.22. Joakim was thanking main organizer of the festival - Jerzy Owsiak. Band didn't know about the flag before it showed up under the stage and it was a suprise because they made a live DVD during this concert. Ant there is a making of video how they prepared to roll it during the show and then crowd singing an anthem after that song.

One song from them I am requesting you to react to sometime in the future is White Death. Just an awesome story of an amazing sniper in the war history of Finland. I have heard stories of him from my father the first time since he's father was in the Winter war and the continuation war against the red army. This bands music makes the war history come alive and in the best kind of ways showing the heroism and pride of the fatherland all in the same time.
