I remember in the 2019 VIP meet and Greet in vancouver Canada I asked Tommy if he could grow facial hair at all what would he choose? He dodged the question lol I assume it was the moustache after all lol
He was my father's cousin's maternal grandfather. In 1961, at the age of six, I was introduced to him by my father. I remember looking at a pirate! My father says he said..."come here my boy. Always obey your father! Always serve your country! And never give up whatever the odds are!" What a man, I just wish I had been older to appreciate him.
@@MasonLongcor Humbling. But I have to ask, have we got people of such calibre today when it comes to bravery? The reason I ask this question is that humanity is marching towards tyranny courtesy of invasive surveillance technologies and a mind-set that applauds Communist China - namely the globalists and multi-billionaires who meet at Davos.
Holy shit though, Joakims reaction to Indys screaming eagle impression sent me , like "God why are we friends" ,and a look of a father fed up with his sons relentless shenanigans.
I always like the Indy and Joakim videos more than the Par and Indy ones because Indy and Joakim just have a magical chemistry. It might just be because Joakim seems to be a better English speaker so he can flow with the conversation better while Par seems to need to think more about the words he uses.
@@tyrannosaurusimperator With the obvious exception that Lieutenant General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart actually DID go to war. He was just, to quote you kids, "Built different".

A toast to Adrian Carton de Wiart, truly one of the maddest of the mad lads. He's like a real-life Call of Duty protagonist, only I don't think any CoD protagonists have gone through half of he went through. The sheer balls of steel that man must have had to get wounded so many times and still enjoy the war. He feels like a real-life version of the Black Knight from Monty Python, constantly telling his general "Tis but a flesh wound" so he could go back to the front. The story about the priest that he told in the episode is like something out of a comedy, as does the rest of his story. And the craziest part is that, despite everything he went through, he died in his bed at the age of 83. A mad lad to the end, we salute thee, Carton de Wiart.
I have a strong suspicion that he was actually the inspiration for Monty Python's Black Knight. Certainly, he was so larger-than-life that if he hadn't actually existed, nobody would ever make him up - he is just too unbelievable as a fictional character.
I swear, this guy is someone's first D&D character tossed into a modern setting. He fights in anything he can, he wants glory, he feels no pain in ripping off two fingers, scarred from multiple wounds, he enjoyed the war, you can't convince me that SOMEONE hasn't made a D&D character just like that. Edit: AWK AWK!!
I started D&D recently and was planning to base a character off of him but I based him off of King Albert I instead. But don't worry! de Wiart will make his appearance in my second campaign as his crazy ass bastard cousin.
@@kiplingwasafurry1108 Mix zealot barbarian[barbarian for the half damage via raging and advantage in reckless attack] and champion fighter especially if you grab the indomitable feat and you could have a very sick character going on. Add half orc into the mix with the racial [similar to zealot as it can bring you up to 1 HP instead of zero until your next long rest] Feels like Adrian Carton de Wiart was a modern take on a half-orc barbarian/champion fighter multiclass the more I think about it, lol.
@@kiplingwasafurry1108 No problem, also making a monk just right with their unarmed defense, their AC can go up quite a bit [also, deflect missle at level 3 is so satisfying,just be sure you have enough ki points left for monk chicanery] Kensai subclass if you want weapon proficiency.
1. Indy's screaming eagle noise might be why he got the role in the video, as his sanity may have been questioned just as de Wiart's should have been. 2. No bulli Tommy. He can't help it if his facial hair refuses to naturally grow. His quest for any facial hair, even fake hair, that suits him continues just like The Unkillable Soldier's quest to find new wars.
This is glorious from start to finish. The nerd shirts, Tommy's Mustache (the band), shading the hell out of the fandom and their unhealthy fixation on the inaccuracy of the Thompson. It's a thing of beauty. I seriously thought Tommy and the mustache were going to be like Prince John and the mole from Men In (tight, tight) Tights. But Screaming Eagles 2? Epic. What a way to start my weekend. Got my tickets for Sept and Oct. And now this. Pärfekt!
The first production models of the Thompson were shipped to Europe in 1918. So they are a WW1 weapon. Only the first crates arrived in France on the 11th of November.
i agree about the inaccuracy fixation. first off, using a tommy gun for the music video helps sell the unkillable nature of this bastard! as if this group of german soldiers in particular were trying to hunt him down. pump him full of lead (what the tommy is infamous for) and see him try to walk it off! and the mad lad actually does!
I think one of my favourite anecdotes from the book was when Adrian Carton de Wiart met King George V during WW1 and told him that despite fighting for Britain in several wars, he'd never become a citizen. The King was not pleased, and told him to get it sorted.
Indy not talking about Adrian's service in WWII, which was just as eventful as his time served in WWI, makes me feel like they have another song planned for the maddest of lads
This dude was an absolute badass; shot in the eye, ripped off his own fingers, eventually had his arm amputated, shot in he torso... That's not counting the plane crashes, escapes, and so on. All after he served in Africa, and he went back to fight during WWII.
And during WWII, he managed to escape from a POW camp for eight days in Italy in '43....which was actually an accomplishment given that he was the farthest thing from inconspicuous there was. He had one eye, one arm, was exceedingly tall, and didn't speak a word of Italian.
No he is I think the closest irl you can get to cod protagonist. Bro got shot in the arm and in the nuts and then immediately said I’m gonna conscript to the British army this time
That movie can only be made if The Last Battle is played somewhere. Maybe over the end credits? It's against international law to do otherwise.* * Source: Dude, trust me
I can’t help but be very amazed by this very awesome dude. Also, love that you guys pointed out that you don’t care that there’s inaccuracies in that music video. Many people were butthurt over the fact that it wasn’t a documentary
I was crying and laughing by the end of the video, this has been the best Sabaton History video! I was looking forward to this history, but the Screaming Eagle, Tommy's mustache and the Sahara memories really killed me.
The history is fun and Sabaton has made it fun to the nth degree. Thank you, thank you very much for making the kids feel interested in reading and analyzing the story. I am a history professor at the university and in each episode of Sabaton History I see that Indy (as the good historian he is) applies the scientific method of internal and external criticism of the fact. It is formidable and masterful. Congratulations and keep it up guys. Greetings from Venezuela.
One thing to say about the man, he most definitely blurred the line of bravery and madman to nonexistent 🤣 a bizarre story that's for sure! Can't say enough how much I miss these videos on a regular basis. Besides the beautiful chemistry and hilarious banter the guys have, as a team you have done a wonderful job on the production of these videos. I really hope you're all proud of the work you do, because it's always a highlight to my day when I get a notification on Patreon. Keep up the great work! 🥰🤘
I know it’s only covering his accomplishments of WW1, but I do hope that, in the future, Indy does take a look at and tell us about Adrian’s accomplishments and stories in the other wars he fought in. As a sort of sequel to this video.
I'll tell you what, the music video was so much fun. Indy was hamming it up so much. Honestly, it got to a point where when I listened to the song without the video and my first thought was "this isn't nearly as fun without Indy goofing around." Seriously, Indy, I think you need to have a liscense for that much ham.
Yep. He was having way, way too much fun the first quarter of the video. A bit ahistorical though. Ministry of silly walks didn't even exist at this time period. :p
17:48 Oh my. Was that supposed to be Indy mimicking a Pelican or perhaps a goose or Carton DE Viart's screens in pain when he was shot but he still kept on coming back for more?? 😂😂. Very nice historical analysis and interview guys. Keep on the great work. Greetings from 🇬🇷🇬🇷.
I've been waiting for this! I literally had to originally go to the most recent WW2 video to tell Indy how much I loved his portrayal of the "Unkillable Soldier." Like, guys, I laughed so hard through the video and how cheeky and satirical it was. Indy ATE in his performance. And just chewed the scenery to bits with his overacting. Everyone in the band did well too. I, internally, call this MV: "the one where Sabaton band members try desperately to kill their historian, but he is like some ridiculous, eldritch phantom who JUST. WON'T. DIE."
I also loved the historical inaccuracies in that video because it just added to the insane story of this guy, like it was all born out of his mad imagination/memories of the war. And YES why do we not have a film about The Last Battle? Seriously. And if Indy's screaming eagle impression could be in it somewhere that would be even better ;)
So happy you brought up the Thompson not actually being in WW1, I saw that and was like wait a minute that missed the war by like two weeks or something

This is an amazing song, but my heart will always belong to "The Last Battle". But I agree with Mr.Niedel. There should be a movie about "The Last Battle" and you guys should play it live on stage at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, September 15. See you all there.
There will likely never be a movie about The Last Battle, and it is because it is not politically advantageous to talk about it. Germans being on the good side for once during WW2? No, we can’t have that! That being said, if us fans got together and created our own script, created the movie, and talked to Sabaton about being in it/a part of the production, then it could happen.
I got the notification for this from Patreon last Friday but wanted to wait till my wife had time to sit and watch it with me. I can wait no longer so I'll just have to watch it again with her later. These history videos are such a treat.
This, this is the sheer determination legends are made, nay Carved out of. Truly men like this are owed so much more then everything. A simple thank you, and medals are not nearly enough to express the gratitude owed to men like this!
"Lots of soldiers unfortunately suffer from PTSD after they witnessed war. War however suffered from PTSD after witnessing Adrian Carton de Wiart." - Dissect
I have been waiting for this video ever since the song came out and it was worth the wait. Best. Episode. Ever. This guy's story is beyond crazy, and as for Joakim, Indy and Tommy's moustache - I can't remember last time I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
ok were do i sign up for having indy doing this incredible story as a movie? seriusly this man was a real CHAD, almost dying from every wound and yet, he enjoyed the war. what a legend.....

See you all there.
There kind of is. The film "Castle Keep" from 1969 is loosely based on the battle at Castle Itter.
There will likely never be a movie about The Last Battle, and it is because it is not politically advantageous to talk about it. Germans being on the good side for once during WW2? No, we can’t have that!
That being said, if us fans got together and created our own script, created the movie, and talked to Sabaton about being in it/a part of the production, then it could happen.
I hope they play it on Cincinnati on Oct. 8th.
How have they not made a movie about this man???
He's a measure of what attitude can do.
I feel like they can do an entire album about this man's life
Adrian Carton de Wiart is by far the epitome of what a professional soldier is
If it doesn't kill my it well make my stronger.
Oh I’m so happy to find this. I have missed my updates from The Great War so much. One of the best TH-cam series ever !!
It's always a good moment to get back on track ;)
Thanks a lot for supporting our channel!
Hell yes!
Great to see you guys back in action for the new album!
Still think that Indy needs an Oscar for his acting for his acting in the video.
Just pure ❤️
I have been waiting for this video for so long. I’m so happy it came out and I am not disappointed at all.
Screaming eagle performed by Indy... We all wasn't prepare for this, but we all need it 😁
That random eagle scream at the end, thank you my sides are now killing me, ya... 🤣🤣
Totally agree with Indy, there should be a major movie about the events of the Last Battle song!
Quite frankly, I enjoyed this video
Finally! Have been waiting for this since the song came out. Good job acting in the music video indy!!
I neeeed more stories about this man!
I got the notification for this from Patreon last Friday but wanted to wait till my wife had time to sit and watch it with me. I can wait no longer so I'll just have to watch it again with her later. These history videos are such a treat.
This, this is the sheer determination legends are made, nay Carved out of. Truly men like this are owed so much more then everything. A simple thank you, and medals are not nearly enough to express the gratitude owed to men like this!
Paper cuts make me cry.
The new album is amazing, I love it, this is a good song
"Lots of soldiers unfortunately suffer from PTSD after they witnessed war. War however suffered from PTSD after witnessing Adrian Carton de Wiart." - Dissect
The music video is truly excellent
I have been waiting for this video ever since the song came out and it was worth the wait. Best. Episode. Ever. This guy's story is beyond crazy, and as for Joakim, Indy and Tommy's moustache - I can't remember last time I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
Indy, it's been a while. I think it's time for a part 2 covering de Wiart's exploits in WWII.
I have been looking forward to this for a while now
Spent the last two weeks or so thinking about what the next episode was gonna be on, stoked that it’s on one of my favorites from the album
An incredible narrative. I have shared it with several friends!
Indy always cracks me up. Keep this stuff up.
I didn’t expect Screaming eagles, but here it is
I need to binge all the episodes again. I forgot how nice these episodes are.
YES!!! The story of "The Last Battle" NEEDS to be made into a film!!
So excited for these new episodes for the new album!
ok were do i sign up for having indy doing this incredible story as a movie? seriusly this man was a real CHAD, almost dying from every wound and yet, he enjoyed the war. what a legend.....
I can't thank you enough for this. This song and this history lesson has just made my day.
