Can you imagine the planning meeting for this film. Director: "Okay, guys ... and at the end we need the voice of an angel!" Hannes: "Hold my beer and hand me my phone!" If you're not aware, the blonde at the beginning is the drummer of Sabaton, Hannes van Dahl, and the husband of Floor Jansen.
@@zoesumra9152 How can they be anything but Goddesses? I heard Floor say that she recorded "Let It Go" for Freja. I wonder if Hannes and Floor would adopt an old fart who loves their music?
This event is a very true one, that took place along the French-British-Belgian/German front line on Christmas Eve 1914. It happend in many places along this front line, that soldiers of both sides began singing Christmas carols, ant noted that they were singing the same ones in another language! This prompted some soldiers to get out of their trenches during the night and with candles, to enter no man's land. There was a very relaxed atmosphere, as my great-grandfather told me, he was a Belgian soldier near Ypres on the front line and witnessed these things. On Christmas day some even played indeed football games and shared their rations and alcohol together. The cross in the clip is also a true fact, although not the same anymore (wood withers with time), it has been regularly replaced and still stands at its authentic spot, near Comines in Belgium where a replica of the original trenches has been rebuilt. Not a day goes by without somebody placing flowers, or cross of remembrance with a poppy, or a candle light at the foot of the cross, it has become a great symbol in the area. Here is a link that will get you directly to the spot, with many pictures that say everything: www.tripadvisor.de/Attraction_Review-g1924381-d7290613-Reviews-Christmas_Truce_Memorial-Comines_Warneton_Hainaut_Province_Wallonia.html Merry Christmas to all, and peace to all mankind!

Sabaton as usual tells the story of those forgotten to history but were the ones who participated in these events and made them possible. The generals were so upset that they made sure it never happened again and sadly the war went on for another bloody 4 years. A real true story of human spirit. Check out No Bullets Fly (animated version) for another true story that will blow you away.
I am so proud that Sabaton chose the Czech Republic for this video and song. Connecting people from all over the world through these stories is an amazing thing.
To me this is one of the best music videos ever made! And it's also one of the most important and awesome Christmas songs ever! Sabaton is on another level!
It is the sound from carol of the bells you hear from the piano at start, and throughout the song, so that surely helps make the song feel christmas to, this song should have been on previous album Sabaton released, but it didnt quite fit, and they didnt have the right melody yet, for this theme, so they waited for the perfect moment to release it, and made it better in meantime polishing it up, so this song was a long time on the way, and a lot of work hours put into getting it just right.. And i think it worked out right, they made a great Christmas song for sure!!
Piel de gallina, emoción indescriptible, llanto incontrolable, Wauwwwww!!!!! Esto es una historia real y me traspasa el corazón, siento tanto que los seres humanos que estan actualmente en guerra no hagan una tregua ,ni siquiera para llevar ayuda humanitara a los que que se estan muriendo de hambre y falta de medicación para sus heridas y enfermedades!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮este vídeo pone de manifiesto que no han aprendido nada!!!!! Los actuales ........que estan liderando estas dos guerras tan absurdas como deplorables deberian escuchar mas musica !!!! Sobre todo de la buena,como esta canción de Sabaton !!!!! Dios los bendiga siempre 😱😱😱😢😢🥀🥀💫💫💫🤲🤲🤲🔥🔥🔥💞💞💞💞😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
And the best ... it is not a tale ... the Christmas Truce ... Winter 1914. They were dreading having to spend Christmas away from their families. Then something incredible happened on December 24, 1914. Soldiers from both sides put down their weapons, stepped out of their trenches and enemy really did meet enemy between the trenches. For a short time, there was peace.
24th - 25th december 1914. imagen if they could pause a world war for a game.of football. why cant we do that today? this is the only christmas song that is played in my house, only one worthy to be played... merry yule everyone

"Honey I need to ask you a favor"
And now they're having a kid. The sheer talent that house will produce is going to be incredible.
@@GetDougDimmadomed A second child, so now they have a daughter and a son. Just start building a pair of thrones for them.

heard this song about 100 times (this year) and still gives goosebumps every time
Female voice in the end is Floor.
Really? Wow
Everybody gangsta... until Joakim starts playing "Carol of the Bells"
As a retired soldier, there are times when I think only Sabaton understands me.
Yeah...
In that case, you may also appreciate "Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven" - give it a try

They've reacted to "No Bullets Fly": "Sabaton - No Bullets Fly Reaction | Unbelievable Tale About War!"
OMG, Awesome Song, Awesome Video, Awesome Floor.
the nightwish army is here too :) always at Floor, always by the valkyrie's side. special greetings to SABATON family.
I am so proud that Sabaton chose the Czech Republic for this video and song. Connecting people from all over the world through these stories is an amazing thing.
This is probably one of their greatest works, and the story behind it is an important one.
Sabaton is a Swedish metal band !
This song is a true story from WW 1.
👍👍👍💕🇸🇪😎
To me this is one of the best music videos ever made! And it's also one of the most important and awesome Christmas songs ever! Sabaton is on another level!
This song is based on 'Carol of the Bells' (with inversed arpeggios). Very clever composition!
Good reaction vid, and touching and beautifully done by Sabaton.

It's the carol of the bells "upside down" you hear.
Mother of all run-on sentences
"Lest We Forget"!That's exactly the problem we have today!

Floor Jensen sings the credits scene. She is the singer for Nightwish and wife to Hannes Van Dahl, the drummer of Sabaton.
24th - 25th december 1914. imagen if they could pause a world war for a game.of football. why cant we do that today?

Check the symphony version of this one it’s gorgeous
00:30 the french soldiers too
All the things in the video, singing, football playing etc is real! It happened!!! The cross in the end is real and still stands for people to look at!
Bad research from you here!!!
Also it’s not only British soldiers,there were French soldiers there also.
Ha ha, you missed Floor. Only reason I still watch all reactions of this. Will they miss Floor or not.
Me too- but i also like the song.
Floor jansen did the outro singing
Please react to "Livstid i krig" by Sabaton live on great tour with subtitels if you want a emotional rollercoaster!
React to Blood of Bannockburn and The Last Stand by Sabaton
If you want a really insane story then react to Unkillable Soldier or the Ballard of Bull. Neither will disappoint you.
If you like this kind of songs, give a try to "Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven"
Made tear In my 57 yo eyes
🤩👍💥💯🎶

SABATON FOr you iS religia
