- My 41th MV. thank for watching.
During the final battle of Berlin in 1945 the general of the 12th army, Walther Wenck realized that the end of the war was coming, and instead of trying to defeat the advancing Soviet forces as his orders were, he used his army to create an escape corridor out of Berlin. For such an act he would surely have been sentenced to death, but instead he ended up being responsible for up to 250,000 people safely escaping the burning city of Berlin. For some this was a battle, for him this was a rescue operation..
Next MV will not be sabaton song.
= CAUTION =
I won't tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work.
I made this video for historical purpose, not to support any kind of ideology or anything similar
I used a translation of Piscator for German subtitles. If he ask to delete, I will change the German subtitles.

Lyrics
See the Reich in flames
Try to save Berlin in vain
It’s a road through death and pain
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
Who could ever have believed,
Seems like nothing’s been achieved
Just to walk a day, go all the way, the fronts are closing in
As the end is drawing near, the 12th army interfere
Open up a route, get people out, it’s forces spread out thin
It’s the end of the war
Hold the corridor!
Reach for Elbe’s shore
It’s the end, the war has been lost
Keeping them safe ’til the river’s been crossed
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion
Holding their ground ’til the final platoon
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you”
Men of the 9th, and civilians too
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
Who’ll survive and who will die?
Up to kriegsglück to decide
Those who made it cross, without a loss, have reason to reflect
It is not about Berlin, it is not about the Reich,
It’s about the men, who fought for them, what peace can they expect?
It’s the end of the war
Hold the corridor!
Reach for Elbe’s shore
It’s the end, the war has been lost
Keeping them safe ’til the river’s been crossed
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion
Holding their ground ’til the final platoon
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you”
Men of the 9th, and civilians too
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
It’s the end, the war has been lost
Keeping them safe ’til the river’s been crossed
Nicht ein schlacht, ein rettungsaktion
Holding their ground ’til the final platoon
“Hurry up, we’re waiting for you”
Men of the 9th, and civilians too
Dispossessed, surrendering to the west
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
See the city burn on the other side
Going down in flames as two worlds collide
Who can now look back with a sense of pride?
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
See the Reich in flames
Try to save Berlin in vain
It’s a road through death and pain
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war
See the Reich in flames
Try to save Berlin in vain
It’s a road through death and pain
On the other shore, there’s the end of the war

#Sabaton #HeartsofIron #WaltherWenck
On 22 April 1945, as Steiner's attempt to relieve Berlin from the approaching Soviets failed, the German 12th Army under Walther Wenck became Hitler's last hope of saving Berlin, as such Wenck was ordered to cease fighting the Americans in the West and turn to fight the Soviets in the East.
The plan was for the 12th to link up with the encircled 9th Army in the Halbe Pocket and then together head for Berlin. The pocket was also where thousands of refugees were located.
Wenck recognised that such an attack was pointless an impossible with what he had. He linked up with the 9th as planned but instead of heading East for Berlin, he headed West towards the American lines, ignoring Hitler's direct orders, bringing with him wounded and civilians. Wenck told his men "Comrades, you've got to go in once more. It's not about Berlin anymore, it's not about the Reich anymore.", it was no longer a battle, it was a rescue operation. They managed to make a corridor which allowed them to reach the Elbe river, where with help from American General William Stimson tens of thousands (some say hundreds of thousands) of German civilians were able to make for the safety of the American Occupation Zone. Wenck would be one of the last to cross the river.
Thanks for making this mv, Hearts of Iron is one of my favourite songs.
Thank you for the information
Some of the soldiers in the 9th and 12h armies probably were or had been (hope I spelled it right) nazis, but they are the only nazis that will ever gain my respect.
@@giosuecarduccigaming the 12th were SS and the 9th were filled with children. The 12th Army only had old men and 14-16 year olds, meanwhile the 9th had 9-13 year olds within it and some 60-80 year olds.
@@giosuecarduccigaming Good Nazi is dead Nazi.
@@재규여포-g4o R.I.P every one of em.
The ending part. After seeing the destruction of Berlin in 1945 now the photo of Berlin in 2021, I love it
You should see Warsaw in 44’ and then Warsaw in 23’ even bigger difference
Rotterdam may 1940 and now, massive difference aswell
they should make a movie about wenck and the 12th army such a hero should never be forgotten
I pray I can see it at least once in my lifetime.
Also The battle of castle Itter and multiple battles that have forgotten that not every German Soldiers are Nazis.
I was reminded of the fact that the German army kept an escape corridor open. Yes, a movie of such humanity screams to be made.
As someone who likes Sabaton and especially these videos, this is the first song that touched my dad as soon as he heard it. Being fresh out of highschool he was sent on the front just to end up defending his city while my family along with thousands of others were being evacuated. He lost a lot of his army friends in that last stand but at the end they all fought for the same cause and made sure all people escaped the city until all hell broke loose. Visiting that same city, now town, with all those destroyed buildings left untouched, just fenced from the other side, brings sadness to my heart.
This was happened because the people believed in the one man's theory about the race domination (((( 😢
Ад разразиился когда твой отец пришел на нашу землю и убивал детишек и стариков, а и еще женщин-партизанок ( Зина Галицина и других) как тебе не стыдно писать о том, что твой дед был жертвой и народ Берлина стал жертвой Советского Союза просто так...
Wenck really did allow for a German version of Dunkirk. 250,000 people just think about that number. I know it’s nothing in the greater number of lives lost but still in moments of horror it’s important to recognise when the light shines through.
어떻게보면 독일군에게 있어 가장 영광스러운 전투가 아니었을지
사람을 죽이기 위한 전투가 아닌 살리기 위한 전투
As a german this one always hits particularly hard...
I could tell from the azur lane iron blood pfp
@@tangmengtit888, LONG LIVE THE IRON BLOOD!!!!!
Long live sacred Germany 🇩🇪!!!!!
It was Horrible, there is a story of a SS officer preparing to fire a Panzerfaust into a Basement with 40 People (many of them civilians) and then being shot by a young Wehrmacht soldier from within
Which germany? 🤨
3:24 breaks my heart
TH-cam being a wuss again, have to confirm that i want to watch this twice
'Who could ever have believed,seems like nothing's been achieved'-what a moment of despair for German people at that time,where were their great Germany!
Merci pour votre vidéo. Elle me touche énormément. je m'intéresse à l'histoire. Je dois dire qu'avec SABATON je suis servie. J'ai découvert énormément d'histoires grâce à eux. J'ai un immense respect envers eux 🤘
I think it is great, that you used actual historical footage in this video
Really good video, too bad I had to jump through so many hoops to view it. The TH-cam's censorship of history is just ridiculous.
Yeah, is strange, but is only on the phone or pc too?
@@giodandosu Both
@@ianfan1420 oh i this it was because somebody made a lot of inappropriate comments...
Right I saw nothing offensive or wrong in any of the clips, except maybe it wasn't clips of the band but from a couple of movie's.
This is by far the best videocut for this song out of all "Sabaton - Hearts of Iron" TH-camvideos. It's no wonder, that so many "Volkserzieher" and AntiFa-propagandists pushed the alert button so extreme, that TH-cam Germany startet to shut down this video.
4:16 요즘 잘 나간다는 우마무스메
this is like 3 songs in one and it works perfectly
The beggining is DRAMATIC VAST! CATASTROPHIC
then 15 seconds in It seems far more human, far more personal with that last glimmer of hope in the "hold the corridor"
And then it's the MANIC determination when it comes to "keeping them safe whatever the cost"
True
finally i found this song after so many years i am searching because this melody of guitar so iconic.
They were trying to get across the river so the western allies would help them instead of the soviets showing them no mercy, right?
yes, it was.
Yes. It was all true.
For them, surrendering to the soviets was literally worse than death
The majority of Russian soldiers, unlike the Nazis, did not kill civilians, but they could not help in any way. They did not spare only German soldiers and took revenge on them for their murder of tens of millions of civilians. So the 12th Army, instead of dying for Hitler, decided to save their miserable, vile lives and the lives of their civilians and help them cross over the river to the well-equipped Americans. And many Nazi killers who destroyed tens and even hundreds of thousands of lives were released by the allies in 5-20 years. A very fair punishment, I think
@@WindrunnerB4 2 000 000 not 17 900 000
Funfact: one of the soldiers of the 12th army was Hans dietrich genscher
Uh who?
@@giodandosu former vice chancellor of germany
Beautifully done!
Feel like there is so much important history than many don't know about the war. The redemption arcs of many Germans at the end are the silver linings to a horrible history.
“ it’s the end the war has been lost keeping them safe till the rivers been crossed nicht ein schlacht ein rettungsaktion “ this hits hard
the best sabaton song for me
Nice video dude
Verstaubt sind die gesichter ist eine gute serie
Ich stimme Ihnen zu.
I love how you used scenes from vsdg and other videos form paralight worx
Bravo YT for your goddamn age-restriction on this video
This is well made 👌
I don't really know the context, but for I'm guessing the lyrics and when I can kind of put together. Is this about the volk storm and what's left of the German army fighting the Russians as they retreat towards the allied lines so they can surrender to somebody who's going to be much less horrible to them trying to get the civilians out as well
See the Reich in flames
Try to save Berlin in vain
It’s a road through death and pain
On the other shore, there's the end of the war.
Who could ever have believed
Seems like nothing's been achieved
My grandmother fled across the frozen bay of the baltic sea, only civilians with carts, girls and women on thin ice. Soviet airplanes mowed down many tracks of refugees, sometimes even aiming to break the ice rather then hitting the people directly
What did they expect Look at what Germany did them
@@jackieyu4787 really gonna try to justify this really.
@@jackieyu4787it's not okay to massacre civilians because of the sins of soldiers
@@jackieyu4787 in that case why complain about the firebombings the Allies did on the germans/japanese or the atomic bombs? Oh let me guess: "AaAmMuRiCaA bAad"
Greetings from Tangermünde the last station from Wencks Army.
A lot of people dont consider The germans were just as human as us in the war. Scared, angry, brave all of the above?, they were just following orders. People act like all of the people in the axis were completely bad when in reality they just simply had no choice. Keep in mind There were bad people with the allies as well. Im not trying to justify these actions, im just trying to open other peoples eyes.
yes indeed,in the final stages of war the majority of soldiers were civilians,but we cant forget the monsters in the german army in general
the german people voted in the nazis; many peope wre not just following orders but gladly carrying them out. dont make excuses for war criminals
@@usuarionaoincluido7733 The monsters in the german army were, for the most, in the SS, the Wehrmacht on the other hand was mostly people mobilized in the war
@@daty-daty well i was talking about the mostly bad part of the german army from 1940-1944,since if ya didnt know the wehrmacht made alot of war crimes,but the SS was worse.Basically im trying to say here is that the wehrmacht is also no saint
Maybe let us agree that much of this history we learned about the war is rubbish.

In some ways yes, but you must remember, a llt of them were still Nazis

Ngl it really fucking annoys me that this is considering “inappropriate or offensive” for some audiences when this is about soldiers trying to save lives from rampaging Soviets😑🤦🏼♂️
So literal porn is allowed on TH-cam but no the heroic story of the 12th army saving civilians now that’s real shit.

To be honest, Nazi Germany committed 30 million rapes to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union committed only 3 million, a tenth of that, so the Soviet Union let it slide a lot I think so
