- When the Austro-Hungarians invaded Serbia in 1914, the Serbian defenders managed to set up an effective defence. A year later, a combined Austro-Hungarian and German offence is launched to take Belgrade for once and for all. The Serbs mount a final defence as a last stand against the Central Powers.

Thank you for this song and video. From Serbia 🇷🇸
We will never fall
For we are Masters Of The world
Though the enemy out numbers us 40:1
And the Hammer Has Fallen
This will not be The Last Battle
We are Swedish Pagans
We are Back in Control
Our number 7734
We will Fall on them like Winged Hussars
And become their White Death
So call in The Lost Battlion
And the Ghost Division
Tell them we are making The Last Stand
At Rorke's Drift
Until out Last Dying Breath ;)
Patriotizam rises...

@@ehrenmann8392 no, we're not started it... war was planned long before austro-hungarian prince was killed... they (austro-hungrians and germans) just waited for a good cause, to justify starting the war... just look at the map of world. you have germany and austro-hungary on one side, bulgaria and ottomans on the other (with mesopotamia within it) with only serbia between, preventing joining the axis in one strong well connected alliance which by the way threatening british colonies on the middle east and north africa and as well the south of russian empire and later, who knows, maybe even the brittish india as well. also that would strong germany and a-h even more in future times if you consider the resources in those areas... on the other hand attack of a-h and germans on serbia and starting the war against russia, france, britain and others would give a good justification for british empire to attack ottomans (german allies) and expand the number of collonies in the middle east and as well to weaken every continental force in europe so they can make their prime foreign policy goal for europe - the famous "balance of the power". we didn't wanted that war. we were just finished with two balkan wars against ottomans and bulgarians (around one year before)... serbia was in a very bad position in that moment for another war especially against such powers as a-h and germany. at the end serbia suffered the most. About the one third (1/3 - 30%) of the entire population was killed and country was devastated... yet our army (with help of allies) managed to make a great comeback in crucial moment and liberate serbia and other balkan nations and destroy the a-h empire.
ps: austrians knew that assassination of the prince is about to happen - serbian prime minister personally warn them about that, but austrians done nothing to prevent it... that's because they needed that... so as some other powers in europe so there are quite good indications that particular assassination was actually organised by other forces in europe... Britain, France, Germany or even austro-hungary themselves...
so, no... serbs didn't started the war but serbs made a great contribution and sacrifice for the outcome of that war...
There is always something great about hearing lesser-known battles in history than the usual.
Even here the God Emperor watches over us.
Man Emperor of Mankind can you give me the will and faith to finish my minis?

Great RESPECT from Poland to Serbia. Both our nations know that all gave some, but some gave all...
Seria backstabbed everyone arround it during the Balkan wars, then startred WW1, than Serbia pushed entire Yugoslavia in the loosing fight in WW2 and last but not least started 5 wars during the 1990s. You respect that?

@@gondor532 Education friend, it's free...
Fun fact: After the battle for the Gypsy Island, Serbian soldiers buried all fallen soldiers, including enemy soldiers, with the highest military honors. They found a letter that one of the dead Austria-Hungarian officers killed in the battle for the Gypsy Island had on him. His name was August Schmidt and he was a lieutenant colonel in the AH army. The letter was unopened, so Serbian soldiers thought it was an attack order. When they opened it they found out that it was a letter from his daughter from Vienna. The Serbian soldiers, led by Major Svetomir Djukic, decided to respond to that letter. The letter they wrote read:
"Dear Miss, with a heavy heart and pain in the soul, although we are enemies, we are forced to be the first to tell you the difficult news that your undead father, a hero officer and commander of the 32nd Austrian Regiment, today heroically fell at the head of his regiment, defending his Emperor, his country and his flag, and in a heavy battle on Serbian soil in Ada Ciganlija (Gypsy Island).
Even though you have lost your father, you have to be proud of him, because he fell heroically and worthy of a knight-hero in the field of parts. At the same time, we inform you that we sent you 4,000 crowns with today's referral, the money we found in your late father's pocket with a letter, and we ask you to inform us about the receipt of this money because we deeply care that you receive both money and letter. We buried your father with dignity and with all honors, marking his grave with an exemplary crusader so that when the war operations are over and peace is established, you can come to Serbia with your respected family and find your father's body decently buried and the grave preserved.
Receive our most sincere chivalrous condolences, that God may give you and others a long and happy life."
They got a reply from Miss Schmidt after a few days:
"Dear Gentlemen,
I received your letter with the greatest gratitude, although it was completely fatal for me, regardless of your consolation. Indeed, this kind of attention is worthy only of Serbian hero officers, and I am eternally grateful to you for that. I also received the money, for which I also thank you.
In these difficult times for our whole family, your letter is really invigorating, all the more so because our dad really ended his life with dignity. I have already given your letter to many of my friends, with tears in my eyes, to read it, and they cried together with me and admired the attention of the Serbian heroic officers. After this letter, we especially appreciate the exploits of the small Serbian army, which is worthy of all admiration."
Remember this when USA & NATO try to portray the Serbs as war criminals, butchers, monsters, and genocidal people. Today we may be not worthy of our glorious ancestors, but for sure we are not even remotely close to being savages and war criminals who perform genocide and ethnic cleansing, like Western media is claiming.
Wow.... my jaw literally dropped to the floor and my eyes were filling up with tears when I read that.
War is always an ugly thing, and nobody can claim to being 100% rightful in their actions. But those little episodes of respect and dignity also show a beautiful side of mankind. That letter certainly fell into the right hands, and I sincerely thank you for bringing this up here.
Although that is both a fun and deep fact to now know, and I have full respect for those who served in such a horrid war, WW1 and the Balkan wars of the 20th century are completely different and lead by different people. Serbia was lead by a military junta who wanted to expand its borders into Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Kosovo. The leaders were very much right-winged and as much as the troops were just following orders at the time, there was a lot of genocide which the western media at the time did not use as propoganda, because, no one was at war with Serbia until the UN intervention.
@@northernleigonare You know nothing about Balkans and relations there. You cant have a clear picture without deep research. For example, you probably believe that American army invade Iraq because they care about democracy there. You said military junta, its interesting that last 70 years every American war was against military junta, I can see only one huge junta in the world, placed on the west and hiding behind fake demokracy. But you are so far to see the truth. Keep your fokus in the north, things there are very simple for understanding, that is your level....
@@northernleigonare Serbia to expand to "Kosovo"? Serbia was founded 1000 years before 1999 exactly on Kosmet you stupid fuck. Go fuck yourselves.

@Edna hvala ali svi smo prozivili neka sranja
and after the battle, the germans build a monument for those brave serbians, in honor for their enemys
Yeah, I'm surprised they left this part out. The Germans honored the Serbian defenders in both German and Serbian on that monument. That was always a huge part of why I love the history of war. "Here Rest Serbian Heroes".
@@Dosudro yeah people tend to forget that germans in the 1st WW weren't just relentless evils.
I just wrote this same thing...
@@gergelylorincz4818 Exactly. The WWI Germans were, for all intents and purposes, no different than the other belligerents of the war. They were a proud, honorable people that saw themselves in a dangerous spot. Did bad things happen in the war? Of course they did, from BOTH sides. It's a major sticking point of history fans that the WWI Germans are not seen as the Nazi Germans of WWII.
That is true. Unlike Potjorek who had exactly 0 respect for Serbia and Serbians, the Germans honored the sacrafice
Foreigners who usually come and visit Belgrade, the first thing they notice is how buildings are all different with different styles. Belgrade is the most destroyed and rebuilt city in entire Europe, it has been destroyed and rebuilt 44 times, also it has seen 115 different wars through it's history!
That's pretty fucking epic ngl
Destroyed by NATO 99' 😢😢😢
I am from Mexico and whenever I hear this speech it gives me goosebumps. The song and speech are incredible!
Truly one of the best

@@GatsuKS 5 de mayo it's a very important battle and day for us, maybe the battle of Churubusco and the Chapultepec's castle defend.
„You are not going to the Italian, or Russian, or the French front. You are going into a fight against a new enemy who is dangerous, tough, brave and sharp. You are going to the Serbian front, to Serbia, and Serbs are the people who love their freedom and who are willing to fight for it to their last. Do your best so this minuscule enemy does not overshadow your glory and compromise the success you’ve achieved so far in the glorious German army“. This is the speech that field marshal August von Mackensen held before departing for the Serbian front in autumn of 1915.
The Serbs had their last stand in front of the "Jasenica" kafana, there the soldiers took flowers from a small flower shop and put them on their coats and on their guns as they prepared for one last charge into certain death. Before throwing them into a counterattack, Major Gavrilović rallied them with a call to arms:[2]
Soldiers, exactly at three o'clock, the enemy is to be crushed by your fierce charge, destroyed by your grenades and bayonets. The honor of Belgrade, our capital, must not be stained. Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honor of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For the King and the Fatherland! Long live the King, Long live Belgrade!
Mackensen also had a monument erected on top of a Serbian mass grave near Belgrade with the words engraved "Here rest Serbian heroes" in Serbian and German. There are few examples in history where the victors honoured the vanquished enemy. Another example is Gen. Tamayuki after he had conquered Singapore in 1942, or Atatürk at Gallipoli. If there are any comparable examples of classy chivalry on the Allied/Entente side feel free to post them here.
@@maximkretsch7134 I think crown prince Wilhelm presented a sword to the defenders of Fort Vaux in honor of their valiant defense at the battle of Verdun.
Even having no connection to Serbia or Belgrade, I always get a little choked up listening to or reading that speach.
Any honorable man will appreciate feats of honor no matter where they come from. We are all human in the end.
Weeb who knows maybe in past life you were fighting in that battle! ;)
What a terrific and scary experience, no one can claim Serbia doesn't have rich history.
it actually goes on for millenias
Our history is 7529 years old. By our Serbian calendar it is 7529th year. You will find on many Serbian monasteries old calendar dates.

As far as I know it Hungarians didn't like it to be part of Austro-Hungarian empire either.

Forgot to mention the monument the Germans and Austro-Hungarians put up to honor the city's defenders. They were so shocked and impressed by that final fearless charge that Mackensen himself ordered that a memorial be put on the battlefield with the inscription "Here rest Serbian heroes." It's still there today.
Yes it is...thank you brother...thank you...

@@vladanjevtic7812That is from battle of Mojkovac, where Serbs from Montenegro defended withdrawal of Serbian army.
While serbian army was retreating over mountains of albania, they had to destroy any gear or weapons they couldn't carry with them, for example cannons etc this one serbian soldier, Jevto Jevtović from village of Gojna Gora in Serbia, carried out hill cannon on his back over the mountain, when french officer heard about this, he demanded to see the soldier, he took off his medal and wanted to handle it to serbian soldier, to which he replied: ,,i need no medals, i just want ammunition so i can return back to my home"

It's cool hear the heroic stories of other counties. No one country has a monopoly on love for their people and their land.

@@petarstjelja4734 that's alright. It's after midnight here on the east coast of USA and I still can't figure out why I stay up so late. What I wrote just came out of my heart when I heard this song and I just had to say it. I can honestly say that probably most of my historical heroes aren't Americans, but why not, right? Heroes are heroes no matter what flag they fight under.
I actually have a friend from Serbia (I'm American) who's family has claimed to have an ancestor from Major Gavrilovic's Regiment, though he has never been able to find any evidence of this. I showed him the video of Sabaton performing this song with the speech at the beginning and he broke down crying at the end.
You have to understand, this war was very devastating for us, we lost over 60% of our male population, and we won in the and threw grate sacrifice.
@@Cazman1989 I do understand, at least as well as someone who isn't Serbian can understand. I wrote my previous comment hoping it would show how much that speech means to the people of Serbia, as I've heard that every Serb in Belgrade knows it by heart.
@@addisonwelsh thing is even if your friends family does not have a ancestor from that battle, he most likely has an ancestor from another historic battle i ww1, the march over Albania, the Solonca front, taking of Kajmachalan, Cer, Kolubara, this charge in to certain death was not an isolated incident, it that war every man fought, ages from 13, Momčilo Gavrić was 8 years old when he joined the army, at 13 he was a corporal, he got wounded at the Solonca front while he was commanding an artillery battery, man of all ages fought, my grate grandfather and four of his brothers, fathers went with two, three, six sons, most cases none came back home, the emotion here is not just about this one battle and its more about the war as a whole, the war was fought like that, our charges were dens and we were running threw heavy machine gun fire, cutting men down like trees, its the whole war, its how it was fought on our side, this one just has a memorable speech, but it does not associate us to just the defence of Belgrade but the whole war, the Serbian army was 180k strong at the beginning of the war, and it was low on supplies, uniforms, munitions, and AH mobilised 200k men, with modern artillery, weapons, supplies, the first battle was won at Cer, our cannons broke the AH batteries, cut there lines, and were thrown back by a fierce charge of men, who ran threw machine gun fire over the AH trenches, in to the heart of the enemy, at the end of that battle our general said "Its hard to fight the German, when he starts running you cant to catch up" that was the mentality of our people at the time, to proud to defiant, there is a folk song dedicated to the battle of Cer, it goes something like "the peak of Serbia, Cer is a warrior, from battles old and dark, in 1914 here fell an emperor to an army of peasants, The peasants in front of Europe defended the honor of freedom, stand in salute armies of the world, in honor of Serbia"
@@Cazman1989 Mention something about us from Montenegro (As we are called today), we had also lost a lot... My two of three grandfathers lost their lives in Solun, third became Major at the age of 15 or so... He went to become I think (Pukovnik, ne znam rijech) Kernel in the army. You have street in Belgrade called "Begova" (Mihailo Beg Chukic). I'm also proud Serbian as is all of Montenegro (but too afraid to say it), also there is some hystoric issue for those... Respect from Podgorica brate ! :)
@@jovancukic1290 What can i say about Montenegro? Crna Gora, The Serbian Sparta, today a small country in the Balkans, Montenegro was never large to be frank, but there is one thing that makes Montenegro very special, its solders, its warriors, and Serbia will never forget the battle of Mojkovac, when on Christmas day General "Serdar" Janko and his man shilded the Serbian army with their lives, the small brave army of Montenegro stood firm and fought with great courage to cover the Serbian retreat, they gave their lives to save what remaind of the Serbian army, they gave their lives to save their Serbian brothers. to stop an army greater in numbers. If Serdar Janko and his man did not fight on Christmas day at Mojkovac, there would be no Serbia today.
God bless Montenegro and its heroes.
I think that Belgrade is only city in Europe(and probably World)who have monument built from enemy!General-Feldmarschal von Mackensen was so impressed with Serbian heroic defence of Belgrade that he ordered monument for dead Serbian soldiers!On monument stands-Here rest Serbian heroes!Monument still stands today in Belgrade
As we said: "Even when u kill us all, our graves will fight with you!"

"Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives; they no longer exist."
This is unspeakably amazing
Find Serbian song called "Hriste Boze" with lyrics, you're going to be blown away!
Greatest respect to our Serbian brothers! Greetings from mee personal!
Greetings from Moscow to Serbian brothers!

Спасибо большое. 🇷🇸 ♥ 🇷🇺
"Nas i Rusa dvesta miliona"
It seems that the Germans sent the best they had in order to destroy Serbia,they were probably pissed off because Serbia resisted for so long.
Actually it were the Austrians not the Germans in Belgrade during WWI.
🇷🇸😢🇷🇸 not too many will understand my emotions now. Long live Serbia, long live Belgrade!
❤❤❤💪💪💪
Everyone from Sabaton deserves Serbian citizenship!!!
The speech gives you goosebumps:
"Soldiers, exactly at three o'clock, the enemy is to be crushed by your fierce charge, destroyed by your grenades and bayonets. The honor of Belgrade, our capital, must not be stained. Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honor of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For the King and the Fatherland! Long live the King, Long live Belgrade!"
Serbian People is heroic ! greetings from Russia !
Thanks brother

I hope Serbians and Austrians still can be friends. You have my respect.
Never... NEVER fight with people who will give their own life for their home... because they will defent it to last dying breath.
True!!!
That story about the concert at the end was so wholesome and heartwarming. It damn near brought tears to MY eyes just hearing it!
Glory to all fallen brothers who fight for justic and honor !!! Greatings from Serbian Republic ( Република СРБска )
Please make these videos downloadable. :) Salute to the Serbian Heroes from the Philippines...im in tears right now.
Why? They will always be visible here
Actually I'm Hungarian and I was surprised why we don't really learn about this battle in school when it comes to important historic battles. It was good to hear about it now.:) \m/
One of my favourite songs from Sabaton.
Can't wait for a new episode...
Long live Serbia.Respect brothers
Reading comments and seeing all these people from distant countries ( even those we're not allied with ) saluting us and our ancestors brings tears to my eyes and a sense of pride.
Thank you in the name of all Serbs!
I love this songs and the meaning behind it,
Love from an albanian dude
Nearly 100 years later and this speech still means an incredible amount to the people of Serbia. That crowd reaction to the speech was one of those pure magic moments you are lucky to be there for at concerts. Keep the videos coming!
devojko neznam te ne poznam te, ali od svog srca ti hvala sto si im pokazala spomenik i ispricala jednu istorisku cinjenicu.
HVALA TI!!!
You failed to mention that August von Mackensen erected a monument on the battleground to conmemoraste the staunch defenders of Belgrade, with the words “Here Rest Serbian Heroes” in German and Serbian.
Спасибо вам за такие исторические ролики, Вас очень приятно и интересно слушать. Продолжайте в том же духе))
Thanks!! You're welcome!
Every time I see Sabaton history video I shed a tear.
Finally, someone to talk about Serbia in positive light and not brag them as 'most genocidal nation that has ever existed' like that doctorate in France did.
Serbia will forever be thankful to Sabaton for this as one of the few who do not remember just 10 out of 1500+ years of our history.
We also wish to have as many of your concerts in Belgrade as possible. :D

Greetings form Poland 🇵🇱
Or, do a song about NAT(erorist)O attacking Serbia . The mightiest army ever assembled, attacking their allies ( Serbia) from both wars. For the piece of land where they build the biggest army base . Are you afraid to do it ??????
They need to write a song about the battle of Kosovo Field(1389). They just need to
I agree. It just has to happen.
Agreed.
this battle alone is reason enough why kosovo can't be taken from serbia.
No
They need to write song about Bulgaria defeating Serbia in WWI and serbo-bulgarian war.
Сербы, русские всегда с вами!
Огромни Привет из Србије брате Руски!!!!!!!!
Hvala brate
❤️
My grand grandfather died in that War ..
Thank you four this greath song !..
Its hard not to be proud Serbian when you have these ancestors to look up to.
Thank you for this, in other history videos about great war no one talks about Serbia, almost like we didnt existed, but they forget that we lost 28% of population, and that every third male died. We denied to surrender after our territory was occupied. Thank you, from Belgrade.❤
God bless Serbian people
Tnx bro!
Thank you, Sabaton, for the great presentation of this period in serbian history. May God bless you always! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank YOU for your support!
Austro-hungaria has attacked Serbia. They lost that war. Since then: there is no Austo-hungary any more. Facts!
In World War I, Serbia lost 56.3% of the male adult population, almost 30% of the total population
Боже како волим што сам Србин🇷🇸❤
Lepo je, koliko god zele da nas jebu, oni budu jebani
Kao i ja prijatelju, kao i ja. ЖИВЕЛО СРПСТВО!
Имамо привилегију да будемо Срби.Јер тешко је али и лепо бити Србин.Није лако носити Крст наш на овој ветрометини браћо моја.Кад је крај путева било грожђа?Ко год овуда пролази хоће да нас откине.Зато смо и страдали и страдаћемо...предодређени смо за то.Зато слава прецима и наук да их следимо...
Живи и здрави били!
🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Najveca kletva i najlepsi blagoslov
That is really cool that this song, about an event that looms so large in Serbia's public memory, was only played for them, in Belgrade. Well done!
God bless that girl. Real patriot! Thank you to all of you!
Serbia held its own against the KuK. It did have treaty obligations with Russia. Serbs are people who are not to be trifled with.
Love Serbia from Greece
Yoo,i know a bit of greek language check it out.Kalimera,kalispera, malaka,fharishto,potokalo and ofcourse glaros. 😛
@@TheWolf-xe2kz Nice man and it's parakalo ;)
08:08 I was at this concert, wearing today's Serbian military uniform. A lot of people wanted to take pictures with me thinking that I am still serving my country. I told all of them that is my uniform, but that I am no longer a soldier. Later on this concert, when Sabaton played for the first time this song I shouted that quote like all the other people there. The rest is history.
Cheers to all Serbs from your neighbor Croatia :)

Must have been awesome to play that song in Serbia!
Ooh trust me, it was
@DiscordChaos Unfortunately I coulndn't come, but some of my friends were there and they said it was awesomest shit ever
I was there, can confirm it was awesome.
I'm from Serbia and the fact that many people lost their lives in,not just this battle,but many more battles because of defending our country is making me proud that I'm from Serbia.Many people don't know about our heroes,they only focus on some battles,but there are many more heroes in our history.I just want to say a big thank you to you Sabaton,for giving people a chance to learn about other countries and their heroes and I just want to let you know that you made me proud,not just me,you made a whole country proud.Thank you for giving us a chance to learn more about heroes I can't thank you enough for doing an incredible job,that job is that you make many countries proud and that is because of your music!Thank you Sabaton!
"Za kralja i Otadzbinu!"
It was not just the 10th but also the Sremski volunteer battalion and what remained from the Belgrade gendarmerie that performed the counter attack on the railroad positions, and these were young men , boys mostly .... for example the Sremski Volunteer Battalion (SVB) was made of boys as young as 14-15 years old + even some women like Sofija Jovanović.... Most of the 10th , SVB and Gendarmerie was cut to pieces and destroyed in that battle.... in total there was around 16.000 people organized in to the Cobined Belegrade Defence Troops , only around 5.000 would survive until the end of the war
Much love for you Sabaton!!! Serbians love you 🙋♂️❤️
Thanks! 🤘🤘
My full respect for you guys. Greetings from Serbia!
Dont forget that the Serbian flag was the First flag to ever fly over the Whitehouse that was not the American one!
