I was hoping they'd address the reason the song is so different between the English and Swedish versions. English is about the conflict in general, Swedish is from the perspective of a soldier serving throughout.
@@SabatonHistory lovely episode I stuck my eyes to them subtitles since I can't get enough of the Swedish Carolus Rex album but I can't speak a word of Swedish except for a little bit of Carolus Rex and en livstid I Krieg with horrible pronunciation no doubt
@@fredlowe1087 yep. They cancelled an upcoming show in Poland, but said they'll be back full force in October when they begin the North American leg of The Great Tour.
have you listened to the swedish version? and if you don't speak swedish, have you read the translation of the swedish version? if you haven't, you should. you'll thank me later.
This, the caroleans prayer, carolus rex, long live the king, ruina imperii and lion from the north are some of my favourite songs. Carolus Rex might be my favourite album of them.
When I learned about this in school, we got 1 paragraph about the 30 years war with 5 basic sentences. We spent 40 minutes learning about it though. This is proof sabaton teaches more to people than school does even in less time.
I was in Prague this summer and the tour guide told me that's just the Bohemian way of dealing with stuff. If you have a problem, you just throw it out the window! Hope you guys are making a full recovery, I love this song!!
In the time-travel alternate history 1632 series of books things are much better West Virginian town from 2000 ends up in 1631 HRE. By 1632 Thirty-Years War ends By 1637, Swedish Emperor Gustav controls much of the former HRE and influences Denmark-Norawy Breechloaders are being used in 1636
First of all, hope you guys feel better, wish you quick recovery. Second, I really like how Indy always finds time to speak about wars on a very personal level. About how much death and terror is behind political decisions, tactics and glory. It's easier in the case of WW1 and WW2 because we have more first hand sources, but I really appreciate it wasn't forgotten even regarding a war 400 years ago. About the songs of Carolus Rex album, I've always felt some of them sounds better in English and others in Swedish. In which language was the album written first? It's a pity I can't understand Swedish lyrics, it would be surely interesting to compare them with the English ones. And guy with the footage out there, bring it back!
@@the_big_boogaloo_man946 Thanks, I'll check it, however, it's still a translation and doesn't give the same feeling as a native speaker understands the lyrics.
I never knew they made a music video for A Lifetime of War. This is another reason why Sabaton History is amazing: getting to know the background of the songs. Also maybe the guy who shot the video for this better see this. Just what is he up to?
@@doge8726 If he died, then the film will never be recovered. Or future generations could find the secret location so our grandsons can enjoy Sabaton as we have never seen.
When I heard the song was about Catholics vs Protestants, it kind struck me. I am Catholic and my best friend is Protestant. We have done research on each other’s beliefs and even attended each other’s church services. We have some differing beliefs but we respect each other. It isn’t even a tense point. Our friendship is too strong to let petty differences get between us. We have been there for each and helped each other through difficult times. I just get a weird feeling when I think that history has been full of bloodshed in part due to the differences between Catholics and Protestants. It makes me sad that the potential friendship and alliance between the two groups was squandered trying to kill each other over disagreements that ultimately don’t really matter. However, our friendship makes me hopeful for a future day where we can all get over our differences, not just Catholics and Protestants but everyone, and be united in peace and compassion for each other
I too am catholic and everytime someone mentions the 30 years war I get a feeling of like "neither of them were being true christians, there was no attempt of being Christ-like in their actions. " Hopefully we can all remain united in the blood of the lord, and never again divided by it.
well, and the Latin word comes from the Greek "phainein" (or mabye it's an Etruscan loan word), and then from Indo-European and so on. The point is that the word was made for that event using a German word, not a Latin word.
@@AMetalPotato Or rather the Latin fenestra was used for the international/fancy version and the German Fenster was used for the German version which is Fenstersturz. It was the 17th century, nobody was using German for fancy talk if they could help it. On the other hand, the word defenestration seems a bit improvised by someone not quite so well versed in Latin. Hmmm.
@@steefant that's not how neologisms work, usually the derived work "recovers" a previous pronunciation and/or spelling, (usually from what was perceived as "the original" -back then-, or from an "elevated" or "classic" language or dialect -latin, greek, old germanic, etc-).
The 30 years war in my opinion was one of the seminal struggles of the early modern era. It's one of the biggest and last religious wars in Europe and ended by consecrating the nation- state above princely politics. It was the bitter twilight of one age and the bright beginning of the modern age. The last knights marched into this war but from the rear end of it came out true modern military tactics, new framework of religious tolerance and nation-states. And most horrifically, it was one of the worst age of atrocity in recent history, perhaps matched only by WW2 in Europe.
Hey lieber Netro Lancer, I Love the song too!!! Here in Deutschland i read much about 30 years ( one life ) of war !!! You are ok after your visit? Liebe grüße Alex
Since I found Sabaton, this song has been in my top ten favorites. I assumed this was the war it was about, but I didn't know anything about this war, till now.
I would imagine the 100 Years War was relatively more relaxed in comparison. Sure, there was fighting, but it would be impossible for either side to consistently fight for the entire time. Much like Spain and its 80 Years War against the Low Countries. There were lengthy gaps between conflict, but the war is still considered to have lasted 80 years.
@@gregski4130 there were some Brits on a little island named Sicilly and they pissed of the Dutch so they declared war and they sent some ships over there but they never actually fought. Everyone forgot about it until 1985, 335 years later when some Dutch historian found out that it never ended and they went over there and they signed a peace treaty.
well, lets be honest here it was mentioned also on ep.30 Stalingrad. Yes, there was a battalion of croatian "ustasas" fighting for their allies, the third Reich.
I hope you guys are doing okay, I saw that the band was in an accident. You guys are great you still deliver content even after an incident like that. I understand if you guys aren't able to bring us content every week.
I’m doing one semester of AP European History, and I was basically holding my breath throughout the entire quarter waiting for the class to get to the Thirty Years’ War. We’re finally here, and though my teacher is doing his job very well, he can’t beat Indy.
In history class I learnt like 2 sentences worth on the 30 Year War and yet 2 weeks worth of America history and I’m South African. I’ve always been so interested in this song from how well written it is to actually trying to discover more details on my own.
A true masterpiece. Altough I love almost every Sabaton song this may be my favorite one. The english and swedish version conplete each other, the first focus on the history while the second on the human side. See you in Milan in January 2020 Sabaton, I hope you will do it.💪
I am so glad I am supporting Sabaton History on Patreon. I have learned so much from Sabatons songs and so much more with this channel. I hope Sabaton continues to make amazing songs about history for many years to come and that Sabaton History continues to make videos on the songs!!!🤘
@@geekymetalhead5112 Why the hell am I just hearing about this! Are they at least able to make it out? Will they still be able to play without risk of furthering any injuries. And why the hell am I not able to find anything on the Internet about this?!? But anyways, thanks for telling me about this.
6:53 This painting represents the Massacre of the St Barthélemy in France, in the 1572. It is indeed an act of persecusion against the protestant but it didn't occured during the Thirdy years war (1616 to 1648).
Thank you Indy and Crew for covering this terrible subject with impartiality and compassion. It is so easy to get caught up in the politics and forget the human suffering caused by our actions. As a contemporary Catholic I cannot begin to comprehend the flawed mindset that brought people of such similar virtue to such violent action, but I strive to not let the lessons of our past escape me and, by extension, others. Enter: the Time Ghost team. You guys remain the example of historical documentarians I hold all others against. Thanks again for all your contributions to the readily accessible body of historical knowledge we require to remain one step ahead of our worst mistakes. May humanity never lose sight of the importance of history!
Defeat at White Mountain followed by violent recatholisation, WWI and communistic era made Czechs the most atheistic nation in the world. It seems that everything bad is good for something.
You will never run out of material for songs. Amazing how many illustrations and paintings there are of this period. 30 years...huh, that's just about the amount of time that the U.S. has been continually at war.
The "polish skirmishes" Indy mentions at 5:15 were probably Lisowczycy (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisowczycy#Devils_in_the_Holy_Empire) Again, at 7:44 that is not a Kozak, that is a Lisowczyk (painted by a guy named Kossak ;P ) no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Juliusz_Kossak,_Lisowczyk.jpg
Just to think about that there were probably thousands of people who was born during the war, grew up during the war, and then died in the war, because of the war. All they knew was war and despair. If anyone ever says Sabaton glorifies war, this song will prove them wrong.
I love this channel! Have I said that? Probably! It just makes me happy to watch it. And look the big rabbit hole new fans have of learning history and enjoying Sabaton. You sure got me to listen to Carolus rex again :D
Hejsan Grabbar!. Thank's for the great history channel. 👍 In a links video one can find a little piece of additional history of about Swedish armed forces, during the 30 yrs war, in Europe. The (in)famous and feared Hackapels (Hakkapeliitat) a.k.a. Finnish Cavalry. Depending of the source, their name comes either from their Finnish battle cry "Hakkaa Päälle!", or Swedish "Hacka På", meaning strike 'em down. Check out more, from here ... Suomalainen mytologia - Antti Palosaari . Hälsningar från "Svenska Österland". 😃
That moment when you defenestrate some guy and thereby start one of the greatest conflicts in European history. The 30 years war is talked way to little about as it is a very interesting if complicated conflict. The song is awesome aswell. One of the best on Carolus Rex, the Swedish version is even better imo.
7:45 Big mistake here. Sigismund didn't "introduced" Cossacks to European warfare. The forces he sent to HRE were composed of Lisowczycy or Elears which is something entirely different.
This Song as I have posted and several versions online maybe the single best retort to any who say sabaton Worships Violence and War. as it and more so the Swedish version is a sombre lament of the true first great war of europe. I have often read posts stating that it brings many to tears without any historical context as we all know the hell 4 or 6 years of war can be but three decades at the end of the medieval period everyone who would even listen to Sabaton knows that such a thing is almost beyond comprehension. The Song with historical background just from this video should never be taken as glorification but as a warning "It is good that War is so terrible, otherwise, we should grow too fond of it"- Robert E Lee
10:23 Wait that part of Bruno's backstory in We The Revolution has a historical precedent? I thought it was just something the devs made up to facilitate the story and use the dice game mechanics. Sure it happened to Bruno in what I think was the Austrian War of Succession, but it was still Prussian soldiers that made him gamble for if he got his arms cut off. It makes more sense that those specific soldiers remembered what their ancestors had done than coming up with it from thin air.
Another great one! Only 2 things I'll say: 1) I think "defenestration" actually comes from "fenestra", which is latin for "window" and 2) That's a really nice sabre in the background!! Keep up the great work, folks! PS: For those unfamiliar with the 2nd Defestration Of Prague, go check the story out. It's amazing...

1:47 The word defenestration comes from the Latin fenestra. (Where the German Fenster comes from.) Gotta keep our etymology in order. ;)

Song about the Thirty years war
Episode number 31
*You Had One Job!*
Just to think about that there were probably thousands of people who was born during the war, grew up during the war, and then died in the war, because of the war. All they knew was war and despair. If anyone ever says Sabaton glorifies war, this song will prove them wrong.
It's enough makes a grown-up man in tears
Such a powerful song.
I love this channel! Have I said that? Probably!
It just makes me happy to watch it. And look the big rabbit hole new fans have of learning history and enjoying Sabaton.
You sure got me to listen to Carolus rex again :D
Thanks a lot!
@@SabatonHistory You are very welcome. You're awesome!
Was just listening to this song.
This song has my favourite guitar solo out of Sabaton's entire discography
My favorite song
I love a lifetime of war so much
"Who are you?"
"I was the King of Sweden"
-Gustavus Adolphus, before his death by Imperial Cavalry
Could yall please do a song on the Spanish Blue Division. It a really interesting unit and part of history that few people know about.
Are you the same one who liked this comment on the other video
Go to the sabaton site to suggest it
I have been doing it alot. I really want them to do that tropic
Incredible song! Also love that bloody Fender Strat!
So whens the 30 Years War: Week by Week?
After we finish the Punic Wars week by week
I can't for the 30 years war week by week!
Be honest, Indy. How many takes were there before you were able to say "recatholicisation"?
just one!
I hope you guys are doing well, I heard about the car crash in Tunisia.
6:52 this picture is about the massacre of St Barthélémy night, when the catholic of Paris slayed the parisian protestants.
You guys should just make a new one. I would love to see the ideas you guys have
Not a history buff, but I LOVE this channel AND Sabaton!

Hejsan Grabbar!. Thank's for the great history channel. 👍 In a links video one can find a little piece of additional history of about Swedish armed forces, during the 30 yrs war, in Europe. The (in)famous and feared Hackapels (Hakkapeliitat) a.k.a. Finnish Cavalry. Depending of the source, their name comes either from their Finnish battle cry "Hakkaa Päälle!", or Swedish "Hacka På", meaning strike 'em down. Check out more, from here ...

I knew both your world war channels but had no idea about this one, what an awesome yt channel and more so being a sabaton fan
Thanks! We don't like to sit Idle ;)
That was awesome! I particularly liked the "I feel dirty. So f*cking dirty." Hilarious! Oh, somebody bring back that music video!! Right now!!
Get well soon!!!
That moment when you defenestrate some guy and thereby start one of the greatest conflicts in European history. The 30 years war is talked way to little about as it is a very interesting if complicated conflict.
The song is awesome aswell. One of the best on Carolus Rex, the Swedish version is even better imo.
7:45 Big mistake here. Sigismund didn't "introduced" Cossacks to European warfare. The forces he sent to HRE were composed of Lisowczycy or Elears which is something entirely different.
Thanks for the info Kamil!
Man I love this song and channel
This Song as I have posted and several versions online maybe the single best retort to any who say sabaton Worships Violence and War. as it and more so the Swedish version is a sombre lament of the true first great war of europe. I have often read posts stating that it brings many to tears without any historical context as we all know the hell 4 or 6 years of war can be but three decades at the end of the medieval period everyone who would even listen to Sabaton knows that such a thing is almost beyond comprehension. The Song with historical background just from this video should never be taken as glorification but as a warning
"It is good that War is so terrible, otherwise, we should grow too fond of it"- Robert E Lee
9:40 so sickness kills more then actual fighting.
The hanging tree shown at 10:25 was the punishment for looters.
I really wish they get the music video back
Hey Indy, the picture of 2:12 is from the 1st defenestration 200 years earlier.
Joakim:I'm so fucking dirty
Me:that's quite a way to get de de de demonetized
10:23 Wait that part of Bruno's backstory in We The Revolution has a historical precedent? I thought it was just something the devs made up to facilitate the story and use the dice game mechanics. Sure it happened to Bruno in what I think was the Austrian War of Succession, but it was still Prussian soldiers that made him gamble for if he got his arms cut off. It makes more sense that those specific soldiers remembered what their ancestors had done than coming up with it from thin air.
It's impossible to have favourite Sabaton song but this one is very special for me btw it's my actual ringtone 😁
I had this song in my head when I got the notification
It's weird to hear these songs in English when you've always listened 'em in Swedish
Another great one! Only 2 things I'll say: 1) I think "defenestration" actually comes from "fenestra", which is latin for "window" and 2) That's a really nice sabre in the background!!
Keep up the great work, folks!
PS: For those unfamiliar with the 2nd Defestration Of Prague, go check the story out. It's amazing...
The saber is a Replica 'Paton Saber', or Model 1913 Cavalry Saber
@@SabatonHistory Thanks!
Great video
