- In this video I revisit a song by Sabaton that I've already heard once before on Roadie Reactions, but so many of you requested that I check out this Animated Story Video that I feel I had to do it... And I'm glad I did! This video really brings out the best of the Night Witches story, and definitely brings out some emotion as well!

![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 72 วันนี้!! คู่เอก "ก้องศึก vs โจอาคิม"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hT1EOSsRPac/mqdefault.jpg)
Hey Tank, just want to say a huge thank you for the review and all the love. For us it makes all the hard work pay off when we see a reaction like this as well as the shout out for our other videos. Thank you !
Your stuff is epic keep making them
Your videos are fantastic and I can’t thank you enough for the few I’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to watch more of them!
Your videos are great! Just right balance of history and emotion!
Love your videos you are so talanted and your collab with Sabaton is amazing, keep up the good work Yarnhub!
these videos ALWAYS give me the goosebumps
my grandfather was a russian pilot, and he respected those women so much he refused to fly in the victory parade out of respect for them, he even has a tattoo which translated says "fallen daughters of the motherland, i salute you"
Wow, that's awesome! Respect!
@@TankTheTech yeah, he was a great guy, and everything he had to say about the 588 was that "there wasnt a single pilot who could match those women in pride and prowess"
@@bigfrankfraser1391 If your grandfather's still alive please tell him that a German fighter pilot (current, mind you) is also starting to get a whole new appreciation for these women. "Hell hath no fury..."
@@bigfrankfraser1391 Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhhh suuuuurrreeeee. What? refusing to participate in military parade under Stalin's Soviet. Yeah sureeeeeeeee that happens ALL THE TIME. Yeaahh yeah. Because Stalin's Soviet is akin to snowflake America of today with so many entitled SJWs.
Proud to say my great grandmother was part of these amazing women. 🇺🇦
🙌🙌🙌
Imagine flying at night, no night vision not even a flashlight. then having to cut your engine to remain silent, gliding to your target, dropping your bombs, then having to almost climb out of your plane to manually restart your engine with no guarantee it would start up again to fly away. while bullets sprayed randomly into the air.
these ladies had balls of steel
I think what gets me the most is how the Night Witches Commisar visited every spot where one of her pilots was shot down. That is some serious dedication to your unit, you can't but admire it and get emotional
Tank, their commissioner, Evdokia Rachkevich, was able to got her PhD on aircraft engineering after the war and taught students at the university.
Most metalheads don't realize why Sabaton is so popular-- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STORIES!
In my experience it is lack of exposure. One does not get more metal than Sabaton's subject matter- Night Witches, Resist and Bite, Uprising, Last Battle.... And all we can do is die wishing we were worthy of song
Im from Sweden and here its mostly because they ARE so popular most people just overlook them. Had multiple people calling them tacky and stuff.. and i mean, you do you. And if you reaaaalllyyy dont care about history i can see why you wouldnt like them. But, imo, they are one of the greatest metal bands out there.
Sabaton is just a roving group of Bards that sing great battle ballads from history.
Modern day bards.
A cousin of mine actually gives her students sabaton playlists as part of their history education. She uses the songs as openings/introductions to chapters and themes of history.
Wish I had a teacher like that when I was younger. Haha
@@TankTheTech needles to say. She's one of the most popular teachers in her school. To explain d-day she took two 9th year classes and handed each an army. I helped build the gaming tables for them. And they played out d-day using warhammer rules. So they could see for themselves the carnage that was d-day.
Dude, I always cry when watching this video. There is this sense of pride and respect for that epic amount of valor and it's just moving.
Same
Same😢
Same
Me too 😭
Ditto
I'm Russian and I'm not the type to get emotional but this ine hits me especially hard and I find myself teary-eyed and choked up everytime I watch this I'm super proud of our brave women when germans overan soviet union and slaughter millions of men they stood up and joined the men in this fight, there were 800 000 women who fought for the Soviet Union that ranged from infantry to tankers pilots snipers.. every combat role there is I firmly belive that there is no way we could've won this fight without these courageous women. And I'm glad and thankful to Sabaton for honoring they're memory and telling the world about them they deserve to live forever in our hearts.
No tank it’s not just you, we all get them emotions hearing the amazing Sabaton songs filled with rich history
Sabaton. Watch. Like. Comment. No question. Let’s go.
🙌🙌🙌
@buller culler American Empire?
@buller culler I think I agree? Like all nations deserve security, sovereignty and not to get fucked by other nations e.g Ukraine and Russia or something but if a nation is doing some fucked up shit like the nazis then I think other nations should protect that nation's people from itself if you know what I mean.
Why it is hitting emotionally? You are a solid human being with a big heart. Being a daddy does help ;)
Mixed with sleep deprivation xD
Keep up the good work, slightly more experienced dad ;)
@@jeroen1989 My friend said about the sleep deprivation issue: " the first six months I wanted to kill myself. After that I got used to, that I want to kill myself" :D
And the stories they tell are real and accurate that' s why they hit so hard . True history hard to grasp and fully understand!
My kids are 2 and 4. Having kids changes things. You see life differently. Being responsible for the life of another human is heavy. Ain't nothing wrong with feeling a certain kind of way about it.
Никто не забыт! Ничто не забыто!
^ no one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten ... Amen
@@hexeltron8625 this is verses by the great russian Poet Ana Ahmatova honoring the suffering of the people during the siege of Leningrad . About 1 = 1.5 people died from starvation . The siege lasted 882 days . Read some books about it . Harrison Salisbury, Pulitzer prize winner was the first forgeign journalist who entered city after Soviet troops broke the siege . Book is called 900 DAYS. You should read that book if you are trying to undstand Russian soul. My phd is about that Siege .. he gave excellent account what really hapened in the city during that period,You should understand Russia and why nobody ever was able to conquer it .Edit = my keyboard suck need to replace it.Sorry for spelling
One of the things I love about Sabaton is how they bring these stories out and give them their place in history they deserve. So many heroes are not recognized by their nations and here they not only get a voice but their stories are now known to the general public. I think it is one of the reasons they are so loved by the fans
yes it most defenetly is. and thanks to Sabaton those stories will still live on even long after the death of the people mentioned in those songs or everyone who knew them. and thats what makes Sabaton such a great band. the love of history and keeping up the story.
О черт, ниндзя режут лук! The most touching reaction I've ever seen
Сраный лук... сраные ниндзя...
People Be Cutting Onions Indeed
Наши девчонки были невероятны. Они делали не возможное, на деревянных самолётах. Вечная им память, и спасибо за свободное небо.
Yes thank you ladies for your service and your example of how to be a bad A$$ woman.
As with most Sabaton stories, I had never heard about the Night Witches and probably never would have had I not discovered this band a few years ago.
As we say in Russia, _know our people!_ (I'm not sure how to translate it better)
@@ApXucBuH I’ve been doing a lot of self-driven history reading, particularly WW1 and WW2 from European perspectives. Since the US joined so late in both conflicts, our education system misses much of the dramatic stories that come from other areas of the conflict. WW1 is particularly fascinating to me because of how dramatically the geopolitical map changed as a result.
The histories of the peoples of Europe are amazing to read about and I’m very happy that I’ve taken it upon myself to learn more about other cultures.
There's one part they missed, where these women would climb onto the wings to restart the engine to get out of dodge
YIKES!!!
OMG! That's so unreal!
Plus no parachutes, they would have added too much weight.
@@hazelangus actually they discarded parachutes in order to take additional bombs instead
In a history video about them, it seems that sometimes, bomb blocked and didn't fall, so they used the same way to detached them. When you thnik how much cold the wind were, the movement of the plane and the few visibility they should had, it's really impressive!
Меня не так уж легко пробить на слезу, но ролику Sabaton-а это удалось. Так что я прекрасно понимаю что чувствовал Танк, когда смотрел это видео. Спасибо за такую искреннюю и эмоциональную реакцию! Во время Великой Отечественной войны было много героев, и было совершено много подвигов. И каждый гражданин нашей страны на фронте и в тылу внес свой вклад в нашу общую победу, но подвиги, совершенные на фронте женщинами, меня лично трогают особенно.
Thank Google for auto translating this comment. I hope it does the same for mine. Women dont get the credit they deserve when it comes to war. This is one example, where that isnt the case.
Вечная память героям! Благодарность тебе, Танк.
Nobody forgotten, nothing forgotten.
I cry every single time I listen to their story. They were awesome. No other words to describe them.
The Sabaton Witches Division talk about your reactions every week!
Thank you!!
Советский фильм "Небесный тихоход" как раз рассказывает о такой эскадрильи По-2. В интернете где то должна быть версия с английскими субтитрами, торрент в помощь
А еще есть фильм, который после войны сняла одна из "ведьм" - Евгения Жигуленко. th-cam.com/video/_K6SYBd1Stk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%A4%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC
We should all be proud of these brave soldiers no matter where we come from.
I'm from Russia!
My first great-grandfather defended Stalingrad and was killed there, my second great-grandfather was wounded during the liberation of Prague. When I was a little kid (35 years ago) I saw a lot of veterans with medals on WW2 Victory Day and they didn't want to talk about this war! After such videos, you understand why, I just have tears after listening to the song Sabaton Night Witches! Thank you for your reaction 🤘
Thank you for sharing, and much respect to your family!
Could not find this in the comments.
The Po-2 biplanes had a weak enough engines. Then these brave Night Swallows (they weren't witches in our predecessors' eyes) did not take the parachutes (in exchange for some more bombs), and the downing of a plane by the enemy's gunfire almost always led to the death of both ladies - lady-pilot and lady-navigator: they just had no chances for rescue.
Number of cases were documented when they burned alive within their falling plane. Terrible death. And the eternal glory for all of them.
They probably knew that surviving the crash to return home would be worse than death. They'd face suspicion from the Soviet government that they'd been captured and converted into spies for the rest of their lives. Likely short lives considering what the Soviets did to suspected spies.
@@brigidtheirish please, don't tell such BS to me, OK?
Returned pilot of downed war-plane should be "cleared" by counter-intelligence services, but most of them passed these checks with ease.
Also, should pilot be downed at enemy territory, his/her chance to avoid the capturing were minimal.
Another note: many pilots were already checked by NKVD (in future - KGB, later FSB) before they were allowed to fly, so it was almost impossible to convert the pilot.
As to burning "winged manned bomb", such cases were not very rare, especially during first 1-1.5 years of the War: pilots understood that their death will cause some more damage to enemies. Japanese kamikaze were just a "pale shadows".
You may read about mr. Gastello, for example.
Aerial ramming also was "usual habit": when the plane was heavily damaged and ammo depleted, the pilot could ram the enemy plane, also with minimal chance to survive. But such self-sacrifices made the Nazi movement much slower, than it was, for example, in France, where the crews of ammo-less tanks popped out with hands in the air, and the infantry preferred to be captured instead of engage the close combat.
@@Sergei_Agarkoff I'm just going off what what I've read about the Night Witches when I did some research on them after hearing the song. No need to get hostile. Thanks for the info.
@@brigidtheirish No any hostility or offence. But I'm tired to hear about "nightmareous commissars torturing and suspecting everyone, who managed to return".
There were 3 women-only air-regiments: day-time bombers, attacking fighters and night-time bombers. Two first were equipped with modern enough warplanes, while 588 (NtB) was equipped with obsolete training biplanes.
Exclusively because of their low speed and ability to glide with their engines cut-off. Also, the engines produced much less noise, which is very important for night flights.
Additional reason: the fabric-made wings could withstand the non-igniting projectiles and debris. Bullets and debris penetrated the wings, but this almost did not transmitted damage to the plane's hard structures. Well, doubtful reason. But...
And these weak engines made the lady-pilots to not wear the parachutes.
Mrs. Rashkevich strictly ordered her girls to do so, but they preferred to take several small bombs instead to cause as much damage as possible.
Also note the gender of pilots. Male pilot, parachuted in enemy lines could be tortured, murdered or imprisoned. Ladies could be almost inevitable raped first, and raped in very violent manner. And they preferred the death over captivity.
@@Sergei_Agarkoff Understandable. I have a strong dislike for misinformation, too, and am rather annoyed that the sources I found turned out to be so faulty.
Definitely believe that they'd (rightly) fear being raped if captured alive. As a woman, I know I'd rather take the relatively quick death of hitting the ground at terminal velocity (even with my acrophobia) over *that.*
You’re not alone. Legit tearing up watching this.
So, my ancestry is 3/4 Russian-Jewish, and 1/4 Polish-Jewish. I'm fairly certain none of my ancestors were involved in any of the history that any of the songs are about, but I still get the feels for all of them.
I am with you on that, Brad. 1/2 Lithuanian Jewish and 1/2 Polish Jewish. Those women were on another level of brave.
@@mikegershon8528According to Ancestry, all of my great grandparents moved from wherever they were to the Bronx around the time of WWI.
@@NYMetsNo1 not driving those planes doesn't mean that your grands weren't involved in anything. Don't forget that USSR was heavily supported by USA before they've decided that there's actually a way to win and decided to land in Normand :)
Thank you sooooo much for this Tank. We, the Sabaton Witches Division, appreciates this more than you could ever imagine.
❤🧙♀️❤🧙♀️
Such dedication to one's country and willingness to sacrifice is beyond admirable. Most of those girls already had male relatives who fought at the front, some had lost their brothers, husbands or fathers. Just compare such astounding female role models to those pushed upon us by modern media and popular culture....
Great reaction, Tank.
Noticing him turning red, this will turn an emotional explosion.
I really love it.
Im glad im not the only one who gets emotional over these kinds of stories
The end of the video definitely unleashed the tears. First "No Bullets Fly," now "Night Witches," "Aces in Exile" might have to be next.
Getting emotional just means you have a soul, Tank (however one might define it). Feeling proud for people from another country because of what they did just makes you human. We can be glorious bastards like that sometimes.
Not sure who cuts onions when these videos come on....
Even animated
- Joakim bangs his knee
- Night Witches are badass
- Par plays ESP LTD F-series
And once again I ask for To hell and back from Antwerp (imo best performance of this song, after 3 seconds you'll know why)
However I am a bit dissapointed that they didn't show that Hannes was married to Floor.
@@argantyr5154 Fun fact, she does vocals in the soundtrack version of the future of warfare
Pyros, pyros everywhere!!!! Man, I can wait for his reaction on To Hell and Back, the videoclip is also amazing! One of my favorite Sabaton songs
Audi murphy make rambo look like weak sauce have you watched his movie to hell and back so friggin awesomeness the actual poem to hell and back is awesome as well
What you feel as we all do is the human being in the chapter of History that no dusty history book could ever portray. Human being caught in these epic event lost to history but not to Sabaton. Their songs strip the politics and national issues away and show the common things all humans are capable of, duty, honour, sacrifice and valour one never knew they had till they faced with the circumstances. As a vet who fought I can truly appreciate these women and the fact they disbanded them after they were done using them. It is an honour to watch this and appreciate these women for their incredible deeds and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their comrades. Well done Hank and congrats on accepting the greatest job in the world, raising your child.
That the commissar took it on herself to find every crashsides of each of 'her girls' that was downed always gets me.
There is a 90% chance that I will cry during a Sabaton song/video. These are just the most human stories out there and it just chokes me up. Great review, keep it up!
Everytime I listen to Sabaton songs I cry as well. You're not alone.
Everyone with a brave warriors heart feels that emotional pride, if seeing another brave warrior fight for something good. No matter where u come from.
Imagine flying in pitch black with no illumination or instrumentation at tree top level using the stars & compass to navigate in a ww1 canvas & wood plane & no parachute either carrying 800 pounds of bombs spotting your target, cutting your engine and diving in & dropping your bombs, flying out & cutting your engine on flying away usually under anti aircraft flier . Return to base & refuel, reload and doing it again sometimes as many as 4 to 6 times a night. Our bomber crews were released after 25 missions, the night witches flew as many as 2000 missions. True heroes!!
Мужик. Спасибо тебе, за твои эмоции🤟
The ending is a tear jerker for real. No matter what or who you are, it gets you.
My favorite types of songs are ones that tell stories; even more specifically true stories. So, when I discovered Sabaton so many years ago, I fell in deep, deep love with this band. As the years passed, and this became what they are, it’s only gotten deeper. I will never not love this band. My friends and my wife think it’s too repetitive, but I love it. The stories are so amazing, and compelling, and true. What’s not to love?
Being a daughter dad of two daughters this video and story hits me the most.
Спасибо вам! Наткнулся у вас на канале на это видео. Тоже пустил слезу. Как здорово, что в других странах тоже с уважением относятся к нашей истории. У меня в роду тоже есть Герои, Достойные Сыны Своих Отцов. Мой прадед погиб под Сталинградом, от осколка гранаты. Как поется в душераздирающей песне Олега Абрамова "Оборона Москвы": Родина никогда вас не забудет!
Sabaton and Yarnhub are delivering history in a way that even people who aren’t into history can enjoy. This kind of format needs to be taken to the classroom. Great reaction again Tank and glad you watched the animated version.
14 people didn't like the video! I wonder who they could be? But speaking to the subject, I'd like to express my deepest gratitude to the Channel-holder, Tank, you are awesome and your reactions are highly worthy. Stay heavy, stay human!
Ты хороший челловек.не стыдись слез в такие моменты!
Can confirm: Being a father makes you more emotional and cry like a baby, A LOT more! Even like Disney movies that includes sad or happy family stories! 😅😅
I can relate to getting more emotional to things I didn't before after becoming a new Dad. Things just hit you different. Thanks for the reaction!
Wy do I get the feels?
Couse Sabaton is aaaawsom.
No other band get you this involved in shit you never thought you were interested in.
Much love
I feel you dude, Sabaton always hits me emotionally. I study a lot of history and when I discovered Sabaton back in 2015, it got me to take back up singing again in full force. Its hard for me to sing through some songs, I'm not sure if its being older or having the knowledge of what some of these people actually went through but I just feel the emotion and energy when I sing these songs. Another reason why I think Sabatons music should be sung and shared since it remembers real heroes.
I have an 80 year old female listener to my radioshow who is from the Netherlands and who always asks me to play this song. :D No problem, as I love it as well.
Iwe seen this video from three different reactors and cried everytime. Showed my daughter this... So man.. You're not alone
Feel you Tank,. Its hitting me the same way.
As you said in one of your videos : if you don't feel anything after watching it, then something is wrong with you.
So, with you, man, everything is 100% normal.💓💪
And thanks for the links very cool animation.🤘
Outstanding reaction from a vet.
Can't wait for Metal Crue and Metal Ripper, LONG LIVE METAL!
Don't forget Metal Machine too! Hope Tank does the full Trilogy!
Add metal machine for ultimate metal trivia. I challeneged Tank to try and get every band/song in the lyrics of all 3. Lets hope he is up to it one day :D
I'm not the only one that this song makes me emotional
to think of the stories behind the songs is something that hits hard. most of the people in the songs were way younger than i am now (30). and to imagine what big luck we have to not have to do what they had to.. well thanks to all who served to make the world what it is now even if we have some real bad shit atm we still are lucky to live in this time of peace ( not everywhere of course but in the majority)
Thanks for your reaction, man.
I'm convinced Tank was just looking for a valid excuse for more Night Witches. I can't really blame him. I listen to Sabaton at least 14 hours a day.
I think the pride and emotion stirred by these videos for people serving other nations is admiration of the bravery and determination of humanity. Humanity is a concept that crosses the constructs of borders and countries and unites us as simply people. There are good and noble people everywhere, and these Sabaton songs remind us of that.
I never knew of the Night Witches until getting to visit the Monino Air Museum, outside Moscow, in 1993.
They have a memorial display with 2 Polikarpov Po-2 in the 588th Livery....which is a witch riding a bomb. Pictures, some medals...and a flight uniform.
These incredible ladies are unbelievable. Flying an open cockpit biplane...at night...in the middle of winter.
And the reason they did not get to fly during the Celebrations was that the Po-2 was the same reason they were so hard to shoot down by the Germans.... too slow. If flying they would mess up the other units.
And....I too tear up with Sabatons stuff. It shows just how awesome their stuff is...to reach down deep and take hold.
It's the story and probably the fact you have a daughter now. Think of the night witches father's (and mother's) sending their daughters at only aged 17 off to war, ill prepared yet steadfast in their mission. Becomming legendary heroes. It is truly inspiring 😮
they actually had no choice. All USSR stand to fight. USSR that time about 200 millions, United Europe (helpers of Hitler) about 400 milions. Plus Japan came joined in 1945 to try finish us up. There was no choice - to go war or to sit at home. Nazy come burn home if they stay. People choose to move forward out of homes meet Nazis. Others who stayed inside country (kids, sick, old) worked at factories to produce guns, bullets all that, and some food of cause. Everybody was hungry. Nobody to look farming and ect.
All these girls were volunteers
imagine your a dad you got crippled in the war. your daughter volunteered to fight the war. a year later you receive a letter from the army telling you about your daughters brave sacrifice.
@@jeremywolfe6929 this is why the "immortal regiment" action an the Victory Day are still so important for Russians - this pain stay with families even 80 years later.
And now imagine what it was like to listen to this when your grandfather fought there.
Being emotional about this music just tells you're a normal human being.
2:51 - Then i cried......damn!
Dude, this wa epic. I am a history grad and never knew. Wow, beautifful and tragic
Lovely reaction! The fact that these are historical facts and that these women lived through this makes it hit even harder.
PS: thanks for the shout-out to the Sabaton Witches Division 🤘🖤🧙 your videos are regularly featured in the group 😉
Awesome! Thank you!
Their aircraft were labeled "Coffee makers" by some German troops because of their peculiar engine sounds. The actual damage caused was limited due to a light bomb load and inaccuracy of nighttime bombing. These were very brave women, sent into battle with inferior equipment and many of them paid the final price. They deserve the highest respect.
I suspect the psychological damage outweighed the physical damage.
@@brigidtheirish On the fronts where they were deployed, Germans banned smoking during the night, that's how much they'd gotten into the minds.
Yeah, I get stupidly emotional over their animated songs. Just they hit right at the heart. And as you say, it's amazing how they can get you so patriotic about other countries, really makes you realise they aren't just soldiers, they're actually humans who lived, fought and died for the ones they loved.
Schindler's List ending 100%. There are not many things that can bring tears to these eyes. But this stuff gets me every time too. Bravo
(Sorry for my bad grammer, English is not my first language)
I've seen alot of comments about the 'Sabaton effect' , being a human and all that kinds of stuff. I think it is also you realiseing the stories about what happend during the war. The less known stories about heroes and their actions.. The more you learn about the history, the more you will understand and you move yourself in their shoes. This will move you easily cause most of us can't imagine how it would have felt, how it would have been and what we would have done.
Never the less, great video like allways!! Keep it going Tank!!
Your English is GREAT! No need to apologize! And thank you for the comment!
I saw a tear at your emotion so to I the same moment! Thank you for the emotion. I am now believe a little more in humans.
All these animated video are brought to you by the Onion Ninjas.
Hits me everytime.
I remember the first video you did on Sabaton, it wasn't your favorite music, I am glad you gave it another change
You can't help but cry tears of epicness with those animated story videos! Too bad I missed the Premier but glad you did this reaction Tank!
I get very teary eyed watching these kind of videos. In a way that makes me wanna jump up and scream "YEAAAHH!!!"
You're not alone with the emotions. Had tears rolling down at 11:23. The song is powerful on its own, but with the added animations its something else.
Tank, this is the best and most emotional reaction to this clip that I have seen. Thank you very much!
You're a dad now,I became more emotional when I had children
Good thing, I m not gonna be a dad. I am emotional a. F. as it is xd I guess everything would devastate me then ;)
@@chriscross2473 It also comes with a certain age. Somewhere between young adult and old man.
I’m with you on this one mate. Wow hold it together.
So emotional...Awesome bravery..epic.
Borders and nationalities are constructed. As humans, we connect by heart and empathy. I feel it's natural to be proud of all these people who did great things in difficult situations - even if we aren't logically connected by country. ❤
Thank you. I love night witches!
Finally you did this one. Its a very emotional story indeed. I love it as well. True heroes were made during WWII. Also making war is devastating as well and this story shows that as well.
It is a great video for telling the story, even if not all that accurate in detail.
They didn't stop the engine altogether, just throttled right back to flight idle, so the prop was "windmilling", as being hand propped (no electric start) they could not have restarted a stopped prop from low altitude and low airspeed - diving to restart a stopped prop is something I've trained for!
Oh, and you ALWAYS start by hand-propping from behind the prop - otherwise it sucks you in when it starts. Getting knocked over by the propwash is vastly preferable to being homogenised with it.
For all their apparent obsolesence, the Polikarpov U-2VS/LNB (NATO designation MULE) was actually a very capable aircraft, the vast majority of which were built for the miltary, although numerous other uses were found, and ski, float and wheeled variants were built. It was renamed to Po-2 in 1944 in line with Soviet practice of using the shortest distinguishing contraction (almost always two letters) of the designer or design bureau of origin. It was easy to repair, cheap to build, and remained in production until 1959 and was still a problem for UN forces in the Korean war. Wood and fabric was stealthy before stealth was officially recognised as desirable! The six 50Kg bombs and 7.62mm rear facing machine gun probably had a greater radar profile than the aircraft itself!
There are 12 still flying (one a few miles from here), of the 33,000 U-2 and unknown number of Po-2 built and it is the most produced biplane ever, with the longest production run of any Soviet aircraft. Some later variants even entered airline service with LOT, Aeroflot and MIAT Mongolian Airlines! Short and rough field performance was very good (heck, I'd love to get my hands on one now!). Oh, and it is the only biplane with a certified jet kill - a Lockheed F-94 Starfire. They just slowed until the jet was too slow to manoever, just as they had with bf-109s and FW-190s, so were able to engage it on their own terms.
Considering the number of sorties and hours flown (23,672 and 28,676, respectively), their total losses of 32 out of the 261 women who served in the 588th were incredibly light - that number is total, and even includes some to accident and disease - and for 3,000 tons of bombs and 26,000 incendiary shells dropped, that probably makes them more efficient than B-17s, Mosquitos or Lancasters. Their greatest use was in causing sleep deprivation though. It is hard to fight when your eyes won't focus and you keep hallucinating!
Being proud of the achievements of another country's soldiers.... yes. I am British and Sabaton made me proud of the German fighters in the First World War. I literally only exist because on my mum's side, my grandmother's father was the one male in his family who survived the First World War. His two brothers were killed. He was captured by the Germans and was a prisoner of war in Switzerland. On my father's side, my grandfather's father fought at Ypres, was wounded and gassed but lived to have my grandfather.
It doesn't matter, not when Sabaton grabs you by the soul and really forces you to see. Not that I'd ever hate somebody for fighting, but to actively feel pride in them is a really intetesting feeling and one I am so thankful to feel.
Yes of course, you did a brilliant reaction as always so thank you for that.
There was something you said in this video that made my brain tick around a little bit, it might be an idea for a new Sabaton song...
Cheers / B.
Nice reaction episode, I envy everyone, who could be proud of its homeland 🙏🏻
hey Tank, going back through these reactions of yours of my fav band Sabaton, and you said something that struck home for me. I think it is the hormones and being a new dad that has got you more emotional. I have a 4 yo daughter and I want her to be brave and bold and a hero. Listening to Night Witches makes me hopeful my daughter can be as brave or as strong of will as these heroes of the 588th. There's a song of the new album, Lady of the Dark, which gives me the same feels as Night Witches. I'd love to see a reaction of that song since you've also got a daughter that I'm sure you want to own the world too.
Love Sabaton!
It's not just you, i cry at multiple of sabaton's songs. Night witches, cliffs of galipoli, final solution, hearts of iron, livstid i krig. And probably others.
Brother, I am 54 years old, a father, grandfather and a 22 year US Army combat vet with 7 total tours where I was shot at starting in 1989. I get highly emotional with Sabaton videos, especially Night Witches. I have a daughter and 2 granddaughters. The thought of my little girls doing this... Women can be the softest and gentlest creatures on earth or the meanest creatures ever. It just depends on the situation. No shame getting emotional about young women fighting for what is theirs!
Great reaction, Tank.
So far only 2 Sabaton songs made me cry, Attack of The Dead Men and Uprising
True, it is dear to see how a guy on the other side of the earth, despite everything that exists between our countries, experiences sincere emotions about the history of my homeland. Sorry for my English, I tried) Thank y and Best regards from Russia
Man, thank you so much. And no need to apologize for your English! It's great!
