As someone who's accidentally gassed themselves (in the lab) with HCl and SO3 gas before i can say its super unpleasant. It was very dilute (most of the gas went up the fumehood) but still sucked, burnt all the way down my throat and lungs, stupidly painful for hours had to just sit in fresh air for ages nothing can be done for this type of injury really, it was only a mild exposure. Can't imagine a deliberate high conc. gas attack must have been sheer agony for the forces being gassed.
Yeah, almost any chlorine-based compound is extremely unpleasant if inhaled/exposed to. Had my experience with it, when I was working in hydrochem. Had to dive into the lab, flooded with the tear agent (namely Cl3CNO2, aka chlorpicrin) during the accident, to drag out the guy, who accidentally synthesized it. And then one more time - to knock out the window, because ventilation was on fritz. Spent the next few hours with my face in the sink.
Stefan Leca Chemistry class in high school. My partner was a dumbass and mixed two chemicals that were *definitely not* supposed to. End result: a major *oh fuck* moment.
I was making ITO (indium tin oxide) using stannic chloride (historically used as a chemical weapon used to deliver chlorine and HCl gas) and it reacted very violently, couldn't get the fume hood down fast enough and got a good lung full of gas, the HCl then reacted with a sulfate compound in the fumehood releasing the SO3. Learned my lesson keep stuff further in the fumehood and make sure its extracting at maximum when dealing with something tbat spews those gases

This battle just goes to show the true horror of chemical warfare. Also, how do you think the germans would have reacted to seeing the survivors stumbling and crawling out of the trenches. I'd have imagine that must have been terrifying to see.

Just a small correction on the gas part: Chlorine gas is subjected to a redox reaction in the presence of water. One chlorine atom gets reduced to chloride, forming hydrochloric acid, while the other gets oxidized to hypochlorite, forming hydrochlorous acid. The latter, unlike the former, is an oxidizing acid, which arguably makes it even more dangerous.
@@SabatonHistory I noticed that in the depiction of the water molecule, I brushed it aside though, since I don't expect from historians and musicians to know about chemistry, and I wanted to enjoy another one awesome episode. Keep up the good work.
@@SabatonHistory Well, you're historians and musicians. We're not expecting you to get everything exactly right in regards to natural sciences. That's where people who actually have to know about this for their day jobs come in. ;) And yes, even just breathing hydrochloric acid on its own because your fume hood isn't working as well as it's supposed to is pretty nasty. Had a nasty chronic cough for weeks afterwards.

I love this song but not in a usual way, I love it because it reminds me of how strong humans can be, every time I listen to a Sabaton song i'm reminded of the horrible tragedies people have went through and it makes my life seem that much easier. It's insane that people can have the will to fight after a chemical attack like that. Soldiers are brave and I need to be as strong as they are while facing the small challenges in my daily life because what i'm faced with is nothing compared to what they went through. If even dead men can fight I sure as hell can fight too.

Awesome video. Attack of the Dead Men is my favorite song on the album. So glad to hear it live when I saw them in October. Would love to see it performed live in the Russian language. It just seems more powerful when sung in Russian, kind of like the Swedish version of Carolus Rex. 🤘
Let's think about this a bit!? "Hundreds of angry Russian soldiers charging at Germans while dying from poison gas & should have been dead!???" It's "Return of the Living Dead" 70 years before its release!!!
@@jamesricker3997 Exact;y! If someone have nothing to lose, even his own life, he becomes the berserk-like essence of fury, fighting on pure adrenaline, just to "take few dozens" to accompany him on his road to Hell (or to Heavens).
I love that the song is basically an explicit "horror" theme in the heavy metal that is Sabaton. War is hell, but this song, the way it is portrayed (the intro sound effects especially), is something truly frightening.
Oh yeah, my favorite song on the album! It has this heavy, eerie feel to it, then it comes surging back to life, like the Dead Men rising for their counterattack.
Nothing new really, people since whenever have wrote about the dead coming back and wreaking havoc on the living by eating them or dragging them back to the land of the dead.
"You cannot kill me, for I am already dead. And if I have anything to say about it, you shall join me." That was the basic motto of the defending troops.
@@flamingrubys11 that dragged German lose any will to resist: who may resist the resurrected dead, feeling no pains, no mercy? I think that landsknecht just prays "God! May this cup bypasses me!"
This is the song that grew on me the most from The Great War. On my first listen it didn't stand out as much, but after listening to the album several times and hearing this song live, it became one of my favorites!
14:14 Actually there was a "Christmas Truce" in the East. It was only observed by the Polish troops of the three empires (Germany, Austria, and Russia) and was quickly dealt with by the native officer corps of the three nations. In fact Polish troops on both sides were always reluctant to fight each other and usually just chatted with each other.
I didn't know this story before I've listened this song. And I live about 11km from Osowiec! Sure I've heard that there was a battle and gas was used but never whole story.
Love this song. There is something about the rythm that makes it sound - for lack of a better word - industrial. Heard it once, and it instantly became one of my favorite songs from a musical point of view. Historically, I like it a lot, but in this regard it's behind Gallipoli, Price of a Mile and Lifetime of war.
A story about 100 men breathing alternative air and fueled entirely by sheer spite rise from the dead. Sounds like the plot of a zombie movie, either at the end to setup a post-apocalyptic world or the end to end on a cliffhanger.
In scandinavia dead people were impaled and sunk down in marshes WAY earlier during middle ages in order to prevent "walking dead" so no, this is a false fact
I watched Bismarck 1 day after it came out absolutely loved it. I knew some of the song titles and knew it’s about or have and idea what’s it’s about, and I have started to watch Sabaton history vids about the songs. Love it.
Diver_01 In 1915 in the trenches on Christmas, the Germans yelled “ Merry Christmas Canadians” and started to wave cigar boxes. The Canadians opened fire. While we have a reputation as being nice, our boys were very ruthless in war.
Some suggestion for possible future songs. Real, documented story. On July 13, 1941, the son of carpenter, Dmitry Ovcharenko was carrying the supplies to his squad. Simple villager's cart and simple horse. Simple muscular man in simple uniforms with the Red Army private insignia. Suddenly his road was blocked by several German trucks, carrying 3 officers and several dozen of soldiers. One officer immediately took Ovcharenko's "Mosin" rifle off, then started the brief interrogations. But Dmitry was a carpenter's son, and had his very sharp axe in the cart. Also there were 3 hand grenades. In one movement he picked his axe and immediately decapitated the officer, who tried to interrogate him. Germans were stunned for a moment, and Dmitry did his best: he managed to throw all grenades to the trucks, killing 20 soldiers and second officer. Remaining soldiers flee terrified. Third officer was wounded, and Dmitry pursued him, then also decapitated him with his axe. Then Dmitry collected "a loot" - officer's tablets, soldier books and other documents. Then he directed his horse to the route he was on before encounter. Upon arrival into his squad quarters, he handed the collected papers to his commander and explained where and how he got these. Commander was doubtful, and some co-combatants started to laugh on Ovcharenko, accusing him as liar. Shortly after the commander partially read the papers brought, he ordered small detachment to check the Ovcharenko's story. They reached the location and found these 23 bodies, two of which were headless... No one laughed then, and the soldier Dmitry Ovcharenko was proposed to be awarded the Hero of Soviet Union award. Later he got this award he deserved. He was KIA during the liberation of Hungary on January 28, 1945. There were only about 3 months remain until the Nazi capitulation...
Translate of russian cover fragment : Osovets, death, corpses, poison. A dead detachment was going attack They walked to win What is dead - that cant be longer kill
I corrected the translation: Osowets, death, corpses, poison The Dead detachment goes in to attack They’ve come to win For what is dead, can’t die again
A great song and a great story. I was at your concert in Stuttgart and to me it really stands out how you performed this specific song. Gas masks, green smoke and Joakims Gas thrower gave this one a unique feeling🤘
Спасибо шведам за такое внимание к нашей истории. Особенно учитывая то,что наши страны никогда не были союзниками и большую часть своей истории так или иначе воевали друг с другом. Я считаю, что такое отношение к сопернику может вызывать только уважение. Надеюсь, что русские и шведские солдаты больше не будут убивать друг друга. Давайте жить дружно!
Definitely find both versions of this song a flat out bop, even though my neighbors would ask why I was blasting Russian songs on my speakers XD Worth every beat though
I've been looking forward to a video on The Attack of the Dead Men for a while, and y'all finally delivered! The Attack of the Dead Men is both one of my favorite songs and events from the album, and strangest one too. The whole song sounds like a zombie is apocalypse, which is fitting since it was a zombie apocalypse for the Germans.
I want you all to appreciate the audio edit of this episode in particular: the music fits amazingly, doesn't feel looped, the re-start when Indy said "or was it?", the audio effects, everything felt amazing!
Finally, I have been waiting for this one since July when the Russian version came out. I wonder what the story will be. This is going to be one good episode. I knew that Radio Tapok would come into this. And the story is good. About the Christmas Truce, I do hope we get one day.

Oh yeah, my favorite song on the album! It has this heavy, eerie feel to it, then it comes surging back to life, like the Dead Men rising for their counterattack.
George A. Romero: "I created zombies."
Russians: "The defenders of Osowiec Fortress would like a word."
Imagine getting copystriked by the Tsar
Slaves from Haiti and Louisiana that practiced voodoo: Allow us to introduce ourselves
"Great new Kaiser!"
"Did you take the fort?"
"No I did something better, I invented Zombies!"
"Hol up"
Nothing new really, people since whenever have wrote about the dead coming back and wreaking havoc on the living by eating them or dragging them back to the land of the dead.
"You cannot kill me, for I am already dead. And if I have anything to say about it, you shall join me."
That was the basic motto of the defending troops.
And that's when 7,000 of the Kaiser's finest crapped their pants...
M.D.Metal In der Tat
Shieße
Hahaha...
In the music video you can see a german being dragged away by one of the dead men and the fear in his eyes is absolutely a oh shit
@@flamingrubys11 that dragged German lose any will to resist: who may resist the resurrected dead, feeling no pains, no mercy? I think that landsknecht just prays "God! May this cup bypasses me!"
when the Russian officer yells out "YOUR LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR TEN OF THEIRS!" just as the gas finally crawled into Osowiec
Hell yeah, one of the best songs of the album. And yes, the Radio Tapok Russian Cover is amazing.
This is the song that grew on me the most from The Great War. On my first listen it didn't stand out as much, but after listening to the album several times and hearing this song live, it became one of my favorites!
14:14 Actually there was a "Christmas Truce" in the East. It was only observed by the Polish troops of the three empires (Germany, Austria, and Russia) and was quickly dealt with by the native officer corps of the three nations. In fact Polish troops on both sides were always reluctant to fight each other and usually just chatted with each other.
Westerners: Do or Die
Russian: Die but Do!
Edit: thanks for the 1.4K likes. Never thought that many people would like this much
More like: Undie and Do!

@Rost Mandzak well i never said that i came up with it

Can we talk about how magnificent Pär’s beard is?
This is my absolute favourite song of The Great War. Not only the music is brilliant, but also the story is mind bending.
"What is dead may never die but rises again harder and stronger"
The Drowned God would be very pleased
I didn't know this story before I've listened this song.
And I live about 11km from Osowiec!
Sure I've heard that there was a battle and gas was used but never whole story.
Ok now make a song about that bear who carried artillery shells.
Wojtek! There's a statue of him in Edinburgh
Legendary
He also caught a spy and smoked cigs
Wait... What?
@@p3chv0gel22 you dont know
One of the most awaited sabaton histories hands down...
Ahhhh finally! I've been waiting so long for my favourite Great War song to get its episode!
Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite songs on the entire album, and I really love the album.
This one of my favorite of your songs and was the first of your songs i heard
Спасибо за субтитры:")
sabaton is my favorite history teacher.
12:02 And I'm one of those people.
I would LOVE to hear a song about the Christmas Truce...
Hohoho boy
Love this song. There is something about the rythm that makes it sound - for lack of a better word - industrial. Heard it once, and it instantly became one of my favorite songs from a musical point of view. Historically, I like it a lot, but in this regard it's behind Gallipoli, Price of a Mile and Lifetime of war.

Oh... is it like-10 degree ?
"its great that i can change the world one metal band at a time"
i am literally crying :'DDDD
Наконец-то я дождался этот выпуск!
Yay! One of the best songs from the album :)
A story about 100 men breathing alternative air and fueled entirely by sheer spite rise from the dead. Sounds like the plot of a zombie movie, either at the end to setup a post-apocalyptic world or the end to end on a cliffhanger.
Fun Fact: the phrase "Walking Dead" came from this battle.
@Thatshow ED Indeed they were, but those were called "living dead" or "resurrected". Lazarus might aswell be the first zombie.
In scandinavia dead people were impaled and sunk down in marshes WAY earlier during middle ages in order to prevent "walking dead" so no, this is a false fact
@@Sw3nssoN You mean the "again-walkers" or how they are said in Old Norse Draugr?
Source?
@@Death_Korps_Officer where did u get your sources
Best way to learn history 🤘🤘🤘
As an elite German Cyborg I can say:
German science is the best in the world.
But Russian men...
*Those Slavs are out of this world...*
Rudolph Von Stroheim I don't fear a man, but those Russians, they scary me.
@DiscordChaos He died after that, according to the narrator.
By the way, what happened in Stalingrad? Was it a soviet stand-user?
@@burany2268 yes
is that a jojo reference
I set my alarm clock to this song and the intro gave me a heart attack
Because waking up sometimes feels like rising from the dead.
King Draconias it always feel like it
Ringtone lol..... similar lol
lol lietuvis?
Haha, change your gfs alarm to "The Rise of evil" instead
Indy Neidell has blessed this channel! Making Sabaton greater.
Thanks to Brandon Herrera's gun meme review for bringin me here. Mentioned the song as part of his workout routine so I had to listen n had to learn.
This is definitely the coolest channel on TH-cam!! We love it!! Great band and amazing history lessons that need to live on. 100% awesome!!!
12:13
Yet. Christmas Truce is here and it is amazing.
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE SINCE THIS STARTED
Finally got that Christmas truce song
We always listen to you
I watched Bismarck 1 day after it came out absolutely loved it. I knew some of the song titles and knew it’s about or have and idea what’s it’s about, and I have started to watch Sabaton history vids about the songs. Love it.
I love the ones with Pär because we always hear the most unexpected things
We definetely need a song about the christmas truce in the future
Diver_01 In 1915 in the trenches on Christmas, the Germans yelled “ Merry Christmas Canadians” and started to wave cigar boxes. The Canadians opened fire. While we have a reputation as being nice, our boys were very ruthless in war.
@@wiccanwitch2268 Your boys are war criminals
Some suggestion for possible future songs.
Real, documented story.
On July 13, 1941, the son of carpenter, Dmitry Ovcharenko was carrying the supplies to his squad. Simple villager's cart and simple horse. Simple muscular man in simple uniforms with the Red Army private insignia.
Suddenly his road was blocked by several German trucks, carrying 3 officers and several dozen of soldiers.
One officer immediately took Ovcharenko's "Mosin" rifle off, then started the brief interrogations.
But Dmitry was a carpenter's son, and had his very sharp axe in the cart. Also there were 3 hand grenades. In one movement he picked his axe and immediately decapitated the officer, who tried to interrogate him.
Germans were stunned for a moment, and Dmitry did his best: he managed to throw all grenades to the trucks, killing 20 soldiers and second officer. Remaining soldiers flee terrified. Third officer was wounded, and Dmitry pursued him, then also decapitated him with his axe.
Then Dmitry collected "a loot" - officer's tablets, soldier books and other documents. Then he directed his horse to the route he was on before encounter. Upon arrival into his squad quarters, he handed the collected papers to his commander and explained where and how he got these.
Commander was doubtful, and some co-combatants started to laugh on Ovcharenko, accusing him as liar. Shortly after the commander partially read the papers brought, he ordered small detachment to check the Ovcharenko's story. They reached the location and found these 23 bodies, two of which were headless... No one laughed then, and the soldier Dmitry Ovcharenko was proposed to be awarded the Hero of Soviet Union award. Later he got this award he deserved.
He was KIA during the liberation of Hungary on January 28, 1945. There were only about 3 months remain until the Nazi capitulation...
Translate of russian cover fragment :
Osovets, death, corpses, poison.
A dead detachment was going attack
They walked to win
What is dead - that cant be longer kill
They actually used the English lyrics in the song.
@LineOfCars That it would. "What is dead that needs to be killed again?" I think would be better...
@@cxpKSip no no, at the last they mean that soldiers already dead by the gas and cant be killed by bullets, and because going attack
@@alfotiosacaramde9631 well, they were supposed to die. Did they? No.
I corrected the translation:
Osowets, death, corpses, poison
The Dead detachment goes in to attack
They’ve come to win
For what is dead, can’t die again
My favorite off the album, almost impossible to not headbang along to it. Was looking forward to this episode
The Russian version is awesome and the intro to the clip was hilarious!
seems like the germans didnt plant enough sunflowers to stop the zombies, lmao
I've been waiting for this one!
A great song and a great story. I was at your concert in Stuttgart and to me it really stands out how you performed this specific song. Gas masks, green smoke and Joakims Gas thrower gave this one a unique feeling🤘
Спасибо шведам за такое внимание к нашей истории. Особенно учитывая то,что наши страны никогда не были союзниками и большую часть своей истории так или иначе воевали друг с другом. Я считаю, что такое отношение к сопернику может вызывать только уважение. Надеюсь, что русские и шведские солдаты больше не будут убивать друг друга. Давайте жить дружно!
То ощущение, когда шведы относятся к истории России более уважительнее, чем отечественные киноделы...
Long Live Russia 🇷🇺
was wanting this one be next so bad awesome song.
Definitely find both versions of this song a flat out bop, even though my neighbors would ask why I was blasting Russian songs on my speakers XD
Worth every beat though
That I bet were very interesting.
“It’s Sabaton?” *shrug*
I've been looking forward to a video on The Attack of the Dead Men for a while, and y'all finally delivered! The Attack of the Dead Men is both one of my favorite songs and events from the album, and strangest one too.
The whole song sounds like a zombie is apocalypse, which is fitting since it was a zombie apocalypse for the Germans.
I have been waiting for this song, thank you for another great video !! And cheers from the Lone star state
Thanks you for helping me pass my history exam
I want you all to appreciate the audio edit of this episode in particular: the music fits amazingly, doesn't feel looped, the re-start when Indy said "or was it?", the audio effects, everything felt amazing!
This is my fave song off of the Great War and was really looking forward to hearing more about it. You did not disappoint!
Finally, I have been waiting for this one since July when the Russian version came out. I wonder what the story will be. This is going to be one good episode. I knew that Radio Tapok would come into this. And the story is good. About the Christmas Truce, I do hope we get one day.
