This is why I love Indy. You think he's gonna tell a joke about something even more dangerous than humans but then he just drops all his knowledge on mosquitoes and you learn something. He would be one of the most fun people to have a beer with. (or a gin and tonic!)
@@Murgablodazor69 can't hate on someone for passing a meme on. I don't understand what's with you copy/paste Nazis. Why you gotta shit on someone for promoting a meme?
Kriegsmarine: Alright, we need a few years to make Plan Z work Hitler: *Declares war on Poland* Kriegsmarine: _U-BOATS IT IS_ (Also please do more naval themed songs)
After the Laconia incident he was indeed quite angry with the allies.....and the laugh is the allies tried to use that as a cause for his trial and execution post war at the trials, how ever they were not expecting what the Defense had in store for them ha ha, so they let Donitz go
Now I kind of expect "Animals of War" as the next album. With Songs about the Great Emu War, Wojtek and possibly Hannibal's elephants, the dawn of cavalry and military service dogs.
As a destroyer sailor, this song gets me pumped when I hear "general quarters, general quarters, all hands man your battle stations." Though I continue it as we did on ship, "precede up and forward on starboard, down and aft on port, report material readiness conditions to damage control central," or something to that effect, it wasn't my job but hearing it constantly most of it stuck. I could picture us going nuts in this situation, seeing ships explode in the night, the radio screaming with cries for help. The water on fire and any minute a torpedo could get us too. I do not envy the sailors of yesteryear, I respect them, I honor them for their sacrifices and thank them for the lessons learned. Fair winds and following seas.
Yes, this song definitely gives me the goosebumps all the time. A few months ago I read the title of an article: 'The number of wolfpacks is increasing in Germany.' Of course it was about actual wolfpacks in German forests, but my first thought was 'oh, the last time it happened, Germany was in war'.
The Poles cracked Engima mathematically in the late 30s then smuggled it to the Brits, who proceeded to industrialize the process at Bletchly Park, which could crack the 3-rotor Enigma of the Wehrmacht but not the 4-rotor Kriegsmarine Enigma (who also employed better OpSec and InfoSec making it even harder to break). Then they finally caught a U-boat and got the codebooks before they could be destroyed making it "easier" to break the naval Enigma.
I find it amusing that both the Kriegsmarine and the US Navy had some rather serious issues with their torpedoes at the start of WW2. An interesting parallel.
Fun fact, Bees were part of WWI. Search "Battle of Tanga", also known as "Battle of the Bees". That would make for a kickass Sabaton song: "Then the Winged Insects arrived!"
Suggestion thread for noted animals during wartime! The Great Emu War! Wojtek! You gotta include Sergeant Stubby in there, guys! Oh, and Hannibal's elephants too. "Beasts of War" Sabaton, PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Centrimentric radar, Corvettes and Squid mortars and the expansion of the "escort navy", the RCN, also played a big part in the defeat of the U-Boat. Sadly the Battle of The Atlantic, the longest theater in the war, is often overlooked or forgotten. I'm glad it's at least remembered in this song.
Its also remembered at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The hedgehog anti-submarine rocket system also played a large roll in anti-submarine actions taken during the Battle of the Atlantic. Sabaton should do a song about the HMCS Haida, comissioned and built in the UK and bought by Canada, this Tribal Class destroyer (one of four purchased) quickly became the most decorated warship in Canadian military history. Convoy defense on the brutal Murmansk run, traversing the Arctic Circle, passing through the Panama Canal and becoming a member of the elite Trainbusters Club in the Pacific. She now serves as a National Historic Site and floating museum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and is featured in Wargaming's World of Warships.
@@jeffbudd7678 Southern neighbor here. We love poking fun at you guys, though thanks to the Germans, several decades ago, we know you all got mean side!
This is the song that introduced me to Sabaton. From here it led me to Ghost Division and Panzerkamf and then the Heroes album and eventually the rest of the band ever since.
The energy of music and lyrics very accurately reflect the history of these events. Sonar at the beginning of the song - 🖤🖤🖤 Guys and Indy, thank you! Keep giving us the story! P.S. gin and tonic - we are waiting😎
I'm glad the duck is back! I was getting worried when I couldn't see it anywhere in the last week's episode ;D Just a shame they still haven't explained the duck, I feel like the guys are messing with us lol But I also really want to know the duck background story!
I love how sabaton doesn't even have to make up song ideas, one accidential mention of emu's and we have an entire album idea ready about war and animals. Thank you for the videos, the music and the laughs guys!
You have to get into the _Das Boot_ appreciation mode before you begin. Hang strings of sausage from the ceiling, slosh buckets of seawater around the room, sit in woolen clothes and don't wash for a week, have someone puke in the corner, smear mineral oil on everything and open a jerrycan of diesel, and don't forget to have someone throw firecrackers at you at irregular intervals. There. Now you get the full _Das Boot_ sensory experience. You may commence watching.
Yess, I think it's the 3rd episode with the duck! I was dissapointed the duck wasn't there last week and glad to see it back this week :D Love ducks and love Sabaton, what I need now is a Sabaton duck!
First. Never heard that song live but the Wolf Pack is just awesome. Although it is one horrifying song. I get chills every time I hear that first command.
Please do a song about wjotek! He got promoted because during battle he mimicked the soldiers carrying artillery shells for the guns so during battle he resupplied artillery positions. They made patches with him carrying shells. He smoked and drank. He wrestled with soldiers he even survived the war and lived the rest of his life in a zoo. Soldiers that served with him would come by and he sit down and expect to be given a cigarette lol. Honestly a badass story. You could do one on the free polish navy as well. A polish destroyer signaled to the Bismark "I am a Pole" before charging it. They showed up at some many battles and were so aggressive that British admiralty thought they had twice as many ships than they did.
All war scenarios are scary on their own way, but the thought of serving in a merchant ship during WWII below decks at night, completely vulnerable to a torpedo attack, and being surrounded by the haunting screams of twisting metal while the ship is being swallowed by the sea,... is probably one of the most terrifying things I can imagine. Even worse knowing that even if you would survive that, you had to try cope with the cold Atlantic, burning oil, and not having any guarantee that a ship would return for you. Must be such a desperate feeling to see your hopes of salvation just steam away to save themselves from further attacks. Respect to all that volunteered and served in the Merchant Navy during those dark years, they were braver than most of us will ever be.
For having 2 uncles on subs in the wolf pack, it's good to hear a band have a song about the wolf pack. I only herd small stories from them before they passed away but they only survived as their captains disobeyed the orders to scuttle their subs, their reason for not doing it was 'Deutschland has lost to many sons to this war, no more will be be sent to a senseless death'. From what they told me, it wasn't until the last 70's early 80's that they weren't called deserters and they got their military benifets.
@@kstreet7438 in total approximately 2,500 were in active service, approximately 400 being constructed by the end of WW2, of that who served the type 2 had 25 crew, type VII had 45 crew, type IX had 50 and type XXI had 57 crew. 60,000 killed and some 8,000 captured and Germany lost 60% of it's subs. They did have plans for a sub to have a crew of 75 but never left the drawing boards. In total approximately 81,000 were built with a total of 1.5 million service men
Now that would be an interesting themed album: Wojtek, mosquitoes, emus, and tonic water. Maybe add lemon juice (scurvy), horses, cher ami, and anti-tank dogs into it aswell
My paternal grandmother's family was old school Prussian military, and when my great uncle was old enough to join up, he chose the Kriegsmarine. He served on U-360, and lost his life when the boat was depth charged off Norway
YES! the Emu War! make it happen ... I bet sabaton could fill a full album with songs about this war just imagine the awesome song about the 3 heroic men who stood against hords and hords of these demonic birds...
A song about animals that served in the war...that is a huge topic, From dogs and horses to birds and bears... Is there is a actual accounting of the animals that served and died during the wars? Research would be tough. It would be awesome.
I wish Sabaton would cover the Admiral Graf Spee, which hunted merchant ships, but the captain was a Nazi-humanitarian who was careful to serve his nation while minimizing human casualties in the process. At substantial tactical risk, the Spee was known to report its own position to enemy coast guards requesting that the coast guard send its vessels to pick up some sailors in lifeboats from the vessels it boarded, cleared and then sank. In the end, when cornered by the British cruiser Exeter and 2 other destroyers, the Graf Spee battled, then retreated. Had the Spee made up its mind to either sink those 3 ships or go down trying, the Spee would have survived, but the Spee failed to recognize the fact that it was winning its final battle, which lead to the Spee's retreat and subsequent scuttling.
Nightwish put Richard Dawkins in some of their songs... Now it's time for Sabaton to put Indy in one of theirs, and no, no matter how much eye candy he is as Lawrence, it doesn't cut it, I want some more ;)
I'm doing a project for school for a regional competition on the Battle of the Atlantic, and I'm planning on doing a main history brief, then booklets on ships/types of ships that had a major impact or are well known from the Battle of the Atlantic, which is going to include the U-Boats, the Bismarck, the Prinz Eugen, the HMS Hood, and the Ark Royal. The competition is in about the first week of April, and I'm starting it today. This will be fun :,)
You can't give us a video about Submarines, U-Boats, and Wolfpacks and then not talk about WATU, that's illegal. (If you're interested, look up "Western Approaches Tactical Unit", they came up with quite a few of Britain's tactics for defeating wolfpacks)
Convoys also went to Murmansk, north Russia. As the nazi's had cut of the railwayline, and there was no other way of sending equpment to the north-front. During ww2 americans sent weapons and machines to Russia. Tirpitz where sent to Alta, Norway, to cut of the convoys.
Hey thanks for covering this song only just came across it! My grandfather was a code breaker at Bletchley park and was at hut 7 I think? Could be wrong on that one but he spoke a lot about enigma (after official secrets act expired) and it’s fascinating! His code breaking helped sink the battleship/cruiser Scharnhorst, he would have loved the song and the show for sure! Thanks a lot for covering this one :) take care you guys
You guys should write a song about the biggest naval convoy battle in ww2. ( convoys HX 229 and SC 122) The double battle had involved 90 merchant ships and 16 escort ships (though not all were present at the same time). 22 merchant ships were sunk (13 from HX 229 and 9 from SC 122), a loss of 146,000 tons. More than 300 merchant seaman died. In total, 38 U-boats had taken part (though throughout the battle not all had been in contact). One U-boat had been lost with all hands. This was the largest convoy battle of the Atlantic campaign. A Royal Navy report later concluded "It appeared possible that we should not be able to regard convoy as an effective system of defence
Oh yes please we need a song about the mighty Emu war. It won't fit in a great war album, but if you ever make an album about the inter-war period, could you please consider that? Also because the inter-war was not rose and sun-shines so this song would add some comedy :)
Sabaton should make their next album a double album with one of the Albums being retakes of old songs with their original lyrics (or new lyrics just for the hell of it).

A song about animals that served in the war...that is a huge topic, From dogs and horses to birds and bears... Is there is a actual accounting of the animals that served and died during the wars? Research would be tough. It would be awesome.
Would love to see a sabaton history episode about the song ghost division
I wish Sabaton would cover the Admiral Graf Spee, which hunted merchant ships, but the captain was a Nazi-humanitarian who was careful to serve his nation while minimizing human casualties in the process. At substantial tactical risk, the Spee was known to report its own position to enemy coast guards requesting that the coast guard send its vessels to pick up some sailors in lifeboats from the vessels it boarded, cleared and then sank. In the end, when cornered by the British cruiser Exeter and 2 other destroyers, the Graf Spee battled, then retreated. Had the Spee made up its mind to either sink those 3 ships or go down trying, the Spee would have survived, but the Spee failed to recognize the fact that it was winning its final battle, which lead to the Spee's retreat and subsequent scuttling.
cant w8 for the Great Emu War song :V and after it the g & t.
BTW great video that song make me chill every time, great history part too
Cutter Ingham still exists in Key West Florida. An Excellent Museum Ship!
Wolfpac in the house and how about a song about the Mosquito squadron
Nightwish put Richard Dawkins in some of their songs... Now it's time for Sabaton to put Indy in one of theirs, and no, no matter how much eye candy he is as Lawrence, it doesn't cut it, I want some more ;)
Everybody talking about how Joakim mentioned the Great Emu War, I'm more excited he mentioned Wojtek.
Germany Navy: ok, if you give us more resources we will...
The rest of the high command : NO
I do not like beer, but I love heavy metal, history, Sabaton and Sabaton history channel. Love you guys!!!!
I'm doing a project for school for a regional competition on the Battle of the Atlantic, and I'm planning on doing a main history brief, then booklets on ships/types of ships that had a major impact or are well known from the Battle of the Atlantic, which is going to include the U-Boats, the Bismarck, the Prinz Eugen, the HMS Hood, and the Ark Royal. The competition is in about the first week of April, and I'm starting it today. This will be fun :,)
Thanks for another great episode.
You're welcome!
What i learned from this video: mosquitos are as dangerous as a uboat wolfpack
You can't give us a video about Submarines, U-Boats, and Wolfpacks and then not talk about WATU, that's illegal.
(If you're interested, look up "Western Approaches Tactical Unit", they came up with quite a few of Britain's tactics for defeating wolfpacks)
Always thought it was:
"To the wrong shore"
Not
"To their own shore"
My first and favourite Sabaton song! Thank you so much
Alright I want an album dedicated to animal use in warfare now. XD
I love how Sabaton does songs about battles so unknown to the average person.
I had no idea this convoy existed before listening to this song
One of the advantages of listening to Sabaton: Learning obscure and cool history facts
Convoys also went to Murmansk, north Russia. As the nazi's had cut of the railwayline, and there was no other way of sending equpment to the north-front. During ww2 americans sent weapons and machines to Russia.
Tirpitz where sent to Alta, Norway, to cut of the convoys.
Joakim: Mention a possible song about the Emu War
Me, a Memist: **heavy breathing**
I kinda feel sorry for the captain and crew of U-406. It had a bad case of Projectile Dysfunction.
One of my favourites.
Wooh new video peeps. Nice work guys, song and video alike.
Been waiting for this one. Always been curious about the story in the song
Wolfpack is one of the most underrated songs.
I loooove this song.
One of the first songs Ive heard from sabaton.
Dude! Indy! Haven't seen you since the end of WWI.
Hey thanks for covering this song only just came across it! My grandfather was a code breaker at Bletchley park and was at hut 7 I think? Could be wrong on that one but he spoke a lot about enigma (after official secrets act expired) and it’s fascinating! His code breaking helped sink the battleship/cruiser Scharnhorst, he would have loved the song and the show for sure! Thanks a lot for covering this one :) take care you guys
You guys should write a song about the biggest naval convoy battle in ww2. ( convoys HX 229 and SC 122)
The double battle had involved 90 merchant ships and 16 escort ships (though not all were present at the same time). 22 merchant ships were sunk (13 from HX 229 and 9 from SC 122), a loss of 146,000 tons. More than 300 merchant seaman died. In total, 38 U-boats had taken part (though throughout the battle not all had been in contact). One U-boat had been lost with all hands.
This was the largest convoy battle of the Atlantic campaign. A Royal Navy report later concluded "It appeared possible that we should not be able to regard convoy as an effective system of defence
Oh yes please we need a song about the mighty Emu war. It won't fit in a great war album, but if you ever make an album about the inter-war period, could you please consider that? Also because the inter-war was not rose and sun-shines so this song would add some comedy :)
6:16 I never expected that sentence in a Sabaton hhistory video ever
Sabaton, please make song about Emu War!
Great episode!
Thanks!
Waiting for Sabaton to make songs about hating beer and mosquitoes now 😂
7:07 when you have a 5 K/D but still aren't satisfied
God I would fucking kill for a sabaton song about The Great Emu War, literally my favorite animal and historical story
Looking forward to new navy songs
Edit: That duck in the background
Uniform fetishist is the most accurate description of Goering I’ve ever heard
What perfect timing! I just started doing research for my college thesis, which is going to be about the battle of the Atlantic!
I really, honestly love Indy and this channel.
Thanks for appreciating our effort!
6:16 those words are words I never expected to hear
Who from Sabaton is responding to these comments? Just curious
Sabaton should make their next album a double album with one of the Albums being retakes of old songs with their original lyrics (or new lyrics just for the hell of it).
Perhaps one of the coolest interviews seen!
Thanks!
13:57 what about Hatfield's finest export - the De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito, the Wooden Wonder, finest multi-role aircraft of the war?
@Sabaton do a song on the wolves in the east front in WW1 were Germans and Russians fought together to kill the wolves.
