    The battle of Passchendaele. The British suffered 275,000 casualties: the Germans 220,000. 42,000 of the dead were unrecovered. That was about the price of a mile in WW1.

      @@Denozo88 Sure, if you pick and choose. The Battle of Kursk was far greater in terms of casualties. Stalingrad is even worse. The fact is that WW2 battles dwarf WW1 battles as a whole or taken individually.

    The opening statement is from Sun Tzu's Art of War. Put simply, if you put your men into positions where retreat is more than likely impossible, they'll fight like cornered animals to survive. When given the choice between fight or flight, humans tend to default to flight. If you surround a group of men, they'll fight for their survival. If you provide them a perceived escape chance, they'll fight for the chance to run away and live another day. As an attacker, you can take advantage of this as your opponent is going to want to run more than fight.
    I suck at explanations.

    "these wondeful moments in history" Maybe not the best phrase in this case..
    This is one of my absolute favourites by Sabaton, but it doesn't exactly makes you jump from joy. Usually that repetetiveness at the end would make me dislike it, but in this case it fits perfectly. It just trudges on endlessly.
    And from Sabaton history, when the soldiers once in a while did not sink down deep in the mud, it was because they were stepping on a dead body laying there in the mud.. A lot of the soldiers did not die from their wounds but from drowning. Utter madness the whole thing.

    Having done WW1 reenactments esp out in PA that has a huge site with trenches being in the mud with all the gear watching this deff reminds me of how much just the weather made it suck and the mud or having sections of the trench cave in and having to do repair parties in the dark while flares float over head. So this is a fan made video using footage from the movie "Passchendaele" (2008) a Canadian made movie about the Third Battle of Ypres and Canada's part in that battle in the spring of 1917 (worth a watch) . Great reaction keep up the good work

    Some of the poor souls were as young as fifteen years old and in England as a push to get more troops, the army initiated what would be later known as PALS battalions, where essentially it was believed that soldiers fighting with those from or around their area ie friends or relatives would fight much harder for each other, which was sound in theory, but in reality absolutely disastrous in terms of both the phycological effects of being shot into Swiss cheese, whilst your cousin gets gassed to death, all the while your brother slowly drowns to death in the mud, whilst your father and uncle gets blown to offal as bits of them are blown sky high whilst the one you called your childhood friend gets blown up by a land mine, and so this resulted in severe trauma and increased levels of PTSD, which wasn’t known for at the time and soldiers showing signs of PTSD would either be sent home to a mental hospital for experimentations or torture, whilst the lucky ones were simply shot or hanged for cowardice and at worse sent to military prison in solitary confinement until the war ended, or because suicide was considered a much better option than going to a military prison back then since many of the laws which are used to protect prisoners didn’t exist back then, things like human rights is in reality considered a modern post WW2 concept and things like prison rights was all but nonexistent outside of the writing on paper that many tend to either ignore of forgotten, again look at the Manchester prison riots where in the seventies a massive riot broke out in Manchester England occurred due to
    Officers excessive use of force and violence
    Officers arriving drunk
    Substandard living accommodations where ten or more prisoners would be shoved into a single cell and the food was either on the cheap or close to inedible, as for those left behind, were the women who some even committed suicide, because at the time it was considered mandatory and socially acceptable for men to go to war and many (feminists/ suffragettes) again committed suicide because it was they who bullied or harassed their sons and husbands into war along with humiliating men who didn’t serve by giving them the ultimate punishment and that’s to give a man a white feather as a sign of cowardice, only for them to receive a yellow card telling them that their sons or husbands has been killed or missing in action and unfortunately by ww1 standards missing in action was essentially the same as being considered killed in action, as for the few men who were forced to stay home due to them being of a highly valued member of the war effort such as say a minor or steel factory or someone with a specific or special set of skills were forced to stay behind and were banned from fighting (to a certain extent) thus this also resulted in things like survivor’s guilt as all of their friends and relatives were either dead or about to be and unfortunately, entire communities and entire villages had to be destroyed or abandoned, simply because all of the men of that community were basically all wiped out, leaving a village full of women with little to no financial support outside of perhaps receiving a military aid support but even then that was rare, things like welfare or government assistant programs again didn’t really exist at the time, so most of the women and the few remaining men had to either pack up and leave to go somewhere else, or make do with what they had, but because some communities were economically based ie a mine community In which a village or town might be based around a mine or quarry or farmland, with the men no longer being able to support or work for the community because most of them were killed, many women simply packed up and left since again, a mine or quarry without its men/ workers is only and really a financial burden for the company and country so they were inevitably either put on life support ie the barest minimum funds to allow the most basic forms of income or production to help with the war effort, or were scrapped entirely leaving 80% of an entire community now without a job.

    The video is not their music video, it's from the movie Passchendaele. I watched the movie because of the video you guys watched and I really enjoyed it. That said, it's more focused on living during that time period than it is about the battle. The movie is 5% war, but I think it does an excellent job as a war drama and what it would be like living in that time period.

    You may have noticed that this video is, not less ambitious, but not made with as huge a budget as the ones you've seen previously. That's because it's from an earlier stage in their career, in 2008, off their fourth album "The art of war", when they were certainly already a popular band but had not yet reached the colossal level of stardom they are at today. The lineup of the band, if you had seen it, would have been mostly unfamiliar to you since only singer Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström still remain from these formative years.
    The actual song, as was explained in the end, is about the 1917 battle of Passchendaele, one of the most notoriously horrific and pointless battles of the First World War. The same event had been covered by none other than Iron Maiden a few years prior, in 2003, in the song "Paschendale" (sic). Sloppy spelling aside, this eight minute epic is inarguably one of THE greatest songs in the band's 21st century catalogue and well worth a listen.
