I heard about a dogfight in WW2 between a Luftwaffe pilot and an American pilot. They fought until their ammo had run out. Afterwards, the German pilot pulled his plane up alongside the American plane, saluted the pilot, and then flew off.
@drhansthegreat There's just so many stories about such honorable people becoming friends afterwards. Like the German pilot that escorted that one American plane after realizing half of their cockpit was blown off, it was a real miracle they were still in the air. He saw, even though in the air, that the enemy plane was full of dead bodies, and that out of 2 pilots, only one was conscious. He escorted them out of the battle zone. The two pilots met afterwards and both cried as they embraced each other like old friends, because one of them just didn't want to pull the trigger and finish of a helpless enemy, but instead decided to help. Makes you wonder over and over again If any of that bloodshed and destruction was necessary in the first place. Edit: Apparently I'm an idiot and Sabaton even has a song about that - it's called No Bullets Fly. About a German pilot that escorted a B17 bomber out of warzone.
@@orestojanovic8405 It's another incident, OP referred to the one when a fw190 shot all its rounds into a P47 and after he didnt shot him down, saluted and flew off
Breizh Rudie Assuming he means quality of the audio. The video is not official or anything, but I just think the audio could use a re-record or something.
@feodorb "The Russians had more or less won the war already" Amongst the western allies, Poland, France, Netherlands, Belgium and United Kingdom were already at war since september 1939, whereas the U.S.A. joined in december 1941, and the USSR in june 1941. So, if one thing was to be said, it would be that the Soviet were quite a bit late, to say the least.
The Red Baron was indeed a great pilot, especially for WW1, when planes barely developed, and his killstreak was unrivaled at the time, but Erich was much better + he was never shot down.
This song is not about air warfare in our time. The lyrics make it pretty clear that the song is about Warhammer 40k, connected to the Horus Heresy. To which part of it isn't clear to me though.
+HalfLife(Ger) the song is not about Chaos Raptors. I wrote a question just today to par on the sabaton official page about this and he sayed that it this song have nothing to do with Warhammer. But not with warplanes too its just a song about evil forces.
Not 30k related really? "The priesthood is trembling The five knights of light has betrayed mankind" "We follow our lust, in no god we trust" "Once greeted as heroes Now treated as foes" "Now mankind will pay from this very day Every man on earth will curse his birth" If this isn't about the Horus Heresy than this is in hell of a coincidence.
The Me-109(Bf-109, same thing) is a plane to reckon with. Germany had great Plane designers, and the Fokker Dr.1, Fock-Wulfe 190, and Me-109 are prove of it
It's about defenders of the light turning evil and leading hordes of undead, it has nothing to do with the devil except the word "hell" being used once in the song. To prove my point: 1:00 "Once blessed by the light, now serving the night." & 1:53 "The hordes of undead march at our command."
If you see these planes today, they are soooooooo slow and piteful gun platforms, it always amazes me that they were considered to be big time warbirds.
You're demonstrating what's wrong with the Internet IMO pretty perfectly. A+! Just because that's your opinion doesn't mean they're facts. If the name Lucifer had been explicitly used, I'd not argue with you. As it is now you're projecting your interpretation as facts. Period.
@Moshulel Yes, with a song also by Sabaton!! But I agree, those people are often forgotten in the whole WWII discussion. The Free French did quite a bit to assist the allies in D-Day, among other things.
"He claimed 352 aerial victories-that is, 352 aerial combat encounters resulting in the destruction of the enemy aircraft"-wikipedia also he made 14 landings with his plane crashed. the guy is badass...
I don't think you have half a clue how slow those planes could fly before stalling. A lot of things you can't do with a modern day fighter yet was quite possible in those days. There's good reasons why most acrobatics pilots still use prop planes to this day
They were English, American, German, French. They were Jew, violinist, invalid, Prussian, rebel, hater, bon vivant, Christian. Among the nine of them they were many other things besides. Maybe there was only the one word-man-which could include them all.
Nope, born 'n raised in the Netherlands, occupied by Germany in world War II after a holding out for a week... Dutch soldiers on bikes with 19th century weapons versus German soldiers with Tiger tanks... Very impressed we held it for a week.
Most forget that Göring wasn't the fat transvestite he was at the end, he was a pilot of von Richthofens Squadron, so he had the knowledege and experience to run the Luftwaffe except for his dresses. But the pilots of this time were honourable fighters that fought the dogfights and respected the skill of the respective other they were trying to shoot. A golden time for duels only fought by the best.
@ozzo70 *if the soviets were not countering* You have to realize the western allies are not incompetent, seeing as they were able to not only hold Britain in the face of an aerial Blitzkrieg, but were also able to make in return decisive strikes against German forces stationed in France. The German Luftwaffe received much more damages than they managed to inflict in that campaign. Thousands of planes lost compared to Britain's losses. Not mention the expulsion of Axis forces from Africa.
@ozzo70 someone didn't go to high school, he tried taking over a beer hall and failed miserably so he started a march with his Nazis and that also failed miserably. lrn2history mate.
@52111centrumcz 16 with over 200 in fact. WW2 German pilots flew WAY more missions than anyone else, though, which is a large part of it. In comparison, the top American ace of WW2 was Richard Bong, with 40. Erich Hartmann had 352.
@Ariana321 True enough. The Poles, the Czechs even Belgians and French piloted in the Battle of Britain against the Luftwaffe. Sadly, we all know how they were rewarded for their bravery.
Still a mystery, but the Australian MG gun was a Vickers .303. And the Camel, piloted by Roy Brown, had .303 Machineguns on his camel too. And they both fired at the same time. Manfred lives long enough to land the plane, dying shortly after landing. Most say Brown killed him. Most say the MG did. No one really knows, though, Brown was credited with the kill by many.
@enMakarth "Hold or Die, don't give a single inch of terrain to the Russians" Eastern front Tragedy, cost him Stalingrad, cost him Leningrad, which forbid the Finnish to give him a hand. Over-estimating prototype tanks, costed him Koursk, where Germans still had all the tools they needed for get their Draw on Eastern front, letting them able to get the Ore and the Oil from eastern Europe. In Africa, he could have had the support of Turkey, Oil and troops, but as i said, 2ndary front

German Pilot: WTF is that noise?
British Pilot:AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
I love the vocals, idk how people hate them so much
I agree, the deeper growls Joakim can conjure are awesome, imagine them in today's quality!
who tf hated vocals its the best
Just don’t listen with one headphone in
I want a re-master of this so badly.
for me that is the worst song of sabaton i want a re master to
+Rowan Nagel This needs a remaster BADLY
+Cristian Danilo Gomez Garcia amazing song, crappy quality.
+Blockio1999 quality of the song or of the video??

Jesus joakim has voice here like he would just want to eat whole box of kittens...
+Xded it was from sabatons first album
That explains a lot..
From their DEMO
Fist for figth?
I love this song's rhythm.
This video was how I found sabaton and the love for Heavy Metal Itself
seriously
@@MyselfTheodore yes
@@drpork1360 Many people call this as the worst song by sabaton
@@MyselfTheodore sorry but I'm not "Many people"
This was one of my first videos i saw of sabaton bit my first was actually a we were soldiers with into the fire as the music
The way the bassdrums are recorded they sound a bit like the engine from a ww1 fighter plane. Very awesome indeed.
Great film + Great Song = Fantastic pleasure
I play this every time I play War thunder, no matter if I win or not, I STILL FEEL LIKE A BOSS!
I remember when they played for like 40-50 people at Valla in Falun where it all started back in the days.
wish i had! played some really old songs i would DIE to hear live today =(
2:50
I love the part. Instrumental sounded nice.
respect to all pilots of the world wars, most flight for their land but all were heros
i love this song and the movie
It totally is! I saw it on netflix earlier this week and I wasn't disappointed >:)
Awesome music and video.
Flyboys ....great movie! Perfect for the song!
this song is Amazing! Great video Karamazov
Long live to the Empire and the Red Baron!
Damn, 10 years later managed to find this banger again.
Thanks!
Lyrics: Dark Fantasy song about Antipaladins
Video: WW1 airplane dogfights
that was awesome, nuff said
OMG na początku nie wierzyłam że to joakim śpiewa
Én ezt nagyon szeretem.Sabaton is the BEST!
The time when fighting in war was a thing of pride.
@feodorb
"The Russians had more or less won the war already"
Amongst the western allies, Poland, France, Netherlands, Belgium and United Kingdom were already at war since september 1939, whereas the U.S.A. joined in december 1941, and the USSR in june 1941.

joakim voice is so diferent in this particulary song
Indeed, more dark :P
Is this even Joakim singing?
Joakim couldn't sing back then
Well, this is his first album, from 2001. But i guess by now you already know that
I think production had alot to do with it
I love this song. A re-make with better vocals would be awesome ! \m/

Sabaton brought me here.
seen both of those movies they're bad ass!
Which are they?
0:39 he should have upgraded his gunner vitality but no he always go for the acuracy because hes way too "busy" bombing :P
What a scrub :P
We must clean these type of people out completely.
world war 1 had the most epic dogfights in history, THANKS WRIGHT BROS
Great Video :)
i love this song
this is the best Angry Birds tribute song I've ever heard
Not a huge fan of the vocals, but man, the organ... THE ORGAN!
Tbh I think the organ is the most recognisable part of the song.
Currently listening to: Sabaton - Birds Of War
Funny thing. This song is about the Chaos Marines.
The Red Baron was indeed a great pilot, especially for WW1, when planes barely developed, and his killstreak was unrivaled at the time, but Erich was much better + he was never shot down.
me encanta esta cancion y el tema del baron esta genial
Nice Video and sure sabaton Rulez!
That's it about war, the winner gets to tell the story.

Just started listening to sabaton and i love the music like what's the price of a mile
Yes, I think it is their best song.
300 US dollars.
@@felinessuck2936 Finally somebody answered this question
Still think this fits the Chaos Raptors more than mere fighter-crafts...
+Michael VPS
The song IS about Chaos Raptors.
+HalfLife(Ger) More specifically about the Night Lords, I think.

It's about defenders of the light turning evil and leading hordes of undead, it has nothing to do with the devil except the word "hell" being used once in the song.

That songs called Shadows. This one is about a table top game
Manfred Von Richtofen.

I don´t know why but I like this because of the sound of lyrics...
Just searched for him in Wikipedia, the guy took down 352 enemy jets..I was like WTF? lol what a badass talented pilot
Jets didnt exist back then they were just fighter planes
there was a PC game called Wings of War. The video reminded me of it. It was awesome!
They were English, American, German, French. They were Jew, violinist, invalid, Prussian, rebel, hater, bon

Best multiplayer flight simulator , cant wait for mixed battles Air , Sea , Ground all fighting together!!!
am i the only one who like this song????
The main character doesn't have to die, but the squad may lose, and the main character can escape from the battlefield.
dokładnie , tak jak mówi Sabaton
These were some brave young men...
It reminds me of Chaos Raptors
