The March to War + Joakim screaming: ALRIGHT *city*, WE ARE SABATON, WE PLAY HEAVY METAL AND THIS IS GHOST DIVISION = goosebumps everywhere. The most epic intro that was ever written!
Best memory of 2020: "ALLRIGHT BUDAPEST WE ARE SABATON AND THIS IS..." and the crowd screamed over the "Ghost division" part, and then the intro drums with pyrotechnics. Best evening ever
He understood the politics of Europe much better than most men that were alive at the time, even today many people that study foreign relations are given lots of focus on Bismarck and his mastery of Realpolitik
2:15 What Bismarck said is the same as waking from a hangover after a night of drinking. You get too drunk you start a fight. When its all over and you wake up, you wonder why it happened. WW1 Was basically a huge bar fight.
They should make a film of it. Jean de Valette: "If that ravelin falls, Fort St Elmo falls. If Fort St Elmo falls, the Grand Harbour falls. If the Grand Harbour falls, Malta falls. If Malta falls, so goes all of Europe. So yes, I'm going to keep throwing any man who volunteers into that meatgrinder."
When Indy mentioned the airplane i remembered a story about one of the so called inventors of airplane. Santos Dumont killed himself after learning that his invention was being used for military use after the 1932 Constitionalist Revolution. In 1925 he asked for the League of Nations to, i think, ban such usage but with no succes.
I love that otto von Bismarck predicted the end of the Kaiser, warning him in 1898 before dying that if things continue as it is right now in Europe the kaiser would abdicate in 20 years . 1918 20 years later he was just a few months wrong.🤯
Baldrick: I heard the whole war started because some guy named Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry. Blackadder: you mean the archduke of Austria-Hungary was shot. Baldrick: No I’m prettysure there was an ostrich in there somewhere
"...and yet the war was a way to demonstrate his power, and his ability to lead the country to greatness." Narrator (Morgan Freeman voice): "It wasn't."
I've thought so many times, that The March to War should have been played on my wedding day. Would have been so cool to walk to the altar with it playing in the back. One of my pastor colleague had a wedding couple with a Five Finger Death Punch song as their wedding march, so perhaps I'll get a chance to wed a Sabaton fan couple some day!
It's really interesting you mention the overall emotion being displayed by people when the war began. I've been writing a final paper for one of my graduate courses this week, and I happened to be researching Charles de Gaulle's service in the Great War, and his description of what the people's mood was like at the outbreak of the war was worded as 'hushed enthusiasm'.
i've been listening to this music during my wife's birth giving. It was 2,5 years ago and I still have goosebumps when I hear it. Thank you for such a powerful track!
I remember hearing the march to war when I saw them live for the first time. I thought they were opening up with The Lost Battalion, but then The Great War, and then I was confused what song it was. Then everything changed to Ghost Division. It was awesome!!!
Of all the songs I was guessing the whole week (yeah, I start the day wondering what song you boys are gonna feature). This was the last on my list, and the surprise is more than welcome!
New subscriber & complete dumb ass for not finding this channel before. By far the best going today. I appreciate the hard work putting this together. Thanks
There's one thing I have to disagree with Par on. Sabaton concerts do have a enemy that people are united against. That enemy is the lack of good music!
its all fun and games until someone assasinates the archduke and start a massive chaos on europe and ended up having 17 million casualties ww1 was hellish.... i feel bad for the soilders who died on that war
The killing of the arch-duke was the match that lit the powder keg. If it hadn't been him it would have been something else. The only one who really cared (besides Ferdinand's family) was The Kaiser, otherwise, it was back page news for the rest of the world (I've seen newspapers from that era).
"The March to War" appealed to me right away, that's why this track was and is in my metal playlist. The only thing that really bothers me is that the track is so short. I wish there was an extendet edition of it
I've argued that Europe was still fighting Napoleon (figuratively) when The Great War began. It seems as if Europe didn't pay attention to the US Civil War, or didn't care about it because if they had they would have seen the evolution of warfare, and the horrors to come.
Hearing von Hötzendorf's name form Indy's mouth gave me huge flashbacks to the old days of The Great War series. As if it was yesterday, that that project started and we were making jokes about him and Cadorna! The 7348294161th battle of the Isonzo will surely bring a decisive victory!!! :D
Nice march song I think it is from the Metalizer album? Am I wrong? Anyway what I would hear to get pumped up ? Well there is a nice repertoire : Fields of verdum, Bismarck, Primo victoria, 1648, The last stand, Carolus rex... Plenty of them to get ready for battle before and after >> just Sabaton :D
1st and 4most, thanks for doing this, Indy and Lads. I grew up and instantly loved partisan marching and labour songs. I still listen to them some time, purposefuly while doing some awful bloody work. I think they would also inspire some songs, if you let them. Like Sabaton did in Defense of Moscow. Keep up the splendid work and music and see you at a concert soon! 💪🏻 U
Soldier 1 (British): why are we here? Soldier2(British): to fight the Germans with the French, and help defend our homeland. S1: but why are we at war? Every soldier across the world: good fucking question.
Could you guys do an episode on Glorious Land, ever since I've heard it I have always wanted to know what it was about but could never find much of anything.
It'd be cool if you guys could make historical context for Sabaton's songs that aren't about history. Like take the song Shotgun and use it as a means for how Europe reacted to America entering WW1, touching on how the German Empire used poison gas, flamethrowers, and serrated bayonets thought an simple American farmer's weapon was "too cruel" a death for a soldier.
It's could have been interesting to talk about the place of colonialism in the incresaing of the european tensions. Still good to listen, keep going guys, thank you !
I was at their Denver concert in Oct 2019, they played an ad for the Gary Sinise Foundation that was talking about WWI. The crowd was pumped and shouting U-S-A! before the music started playing.

Kaiser Wilhem in August 1914: "you will be at home before the leafs fall".
German soldiers at Christmas 1915: "what a son of a b..."
"Those bastards lied to me"
So that was a fuckin lie
@@americanpanzer4163 the greatest lie of human history, in my opinion.
Maybe Wilhelm was thinking of "O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter."
Son of a knackwurst
WW1: The war didn't end all wars but it changed war forever.
No truer words have never been spoken
It ended the wars of old and brought about a new style of combat
Every war changes the history and course of warfare
A war to end all peace
Well, you could say it ended all wars as the people of the prewar world knew it.
The March to War + Joakim screaming: ALRIGHT *city*, WE ARE SABATON, WE PLAY HEAVY METAL AND THIS IS GHOST DIVISION = goosebumps everywhere.

Oh man I was just thinking the same thing, seeing them live is definitely an experience
1000% seen them 6 times and it never stops giving me chills when the house lights go down and that music starts!
"All right Boston. We are Sabaton and this is 'Ghost Division'."
@@kyledunn6853 did you go to the concert in Worcester in 2019?!
2:02 some of Bismarck's quotes/predictions are genuinely terrifyingly accurate
specialy about the fail of the german empire i tihnk he was jsut 1 month off
He understood the politics of Europe much better than most men that were alive at the time, even today many people that study foreign relations are given lots of focus on Bismarck and his mastery of Realpolitik
Wow that was pretty much exactly what happened. This guy is a legend.
Oh shoot it’s starting up again
2:15 What Bismarck said is the same as waking from a hangover after a night of drinking. You get too drunk you start a fight. When its all over and you wake up, you wonder why it happened. WW1 Was basically a huge bar fight.
honestly i would love to see a song about the great siege of Malta as it is one of the most amazing tales I have ever heard.
They should make a film of it.
Jean de Valette: "If that ravelin falls, Fort St Elmo falls. If Fort St Elmo falls, the Grand Harbour falls. If the Grand Harbour falls, Malta falls. If Malta falls, so goes all of Europe. So yes, I'm going to keep throwing any man who volunteers into that meatgrinder."
they really had to make a song about their concert intro theme, huh?
and i love it.
When Indy mentioned the airplane i remembered a story about one of the so called inventors of airplane. Santos Dumont killed himself after learning that his invention was being used for military use after the 1932 Constitionalist Revolution.

2:18 how the heck did he sum up the Great War so flawlessly is insane, he truly was a Geopolitical genius.
Baldrick: I heard the whole war started because some guy named Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry.
Blackadder: you mean the archduke of Austria-Hungary was shot.
Baldrick: No I’m prettysure there was an ostrich in there somewhere
I like the horrible history's explanation of how it started
Blackadder + Sabaton. That's some good stuff 🤘
Allegedsly*
....so the poor old ostrich died for nothing....
@@nobodyimportant9127 allegedsly
"...and yet the war was a way to demonstrate his power, and his ability to lead the country to greatness."
Narrator (Morgan Freeman voice): "It wasn't."
When "keeping it real" goes wrong
Grigori Rasputin has entered the chat
I've thought so many times, that The March to War should have been played on my wedding day. Would have been so cool to walk to the altar with it playing in the back. One of my pastor colleague had a wedding couple with a Five Finger Death Punch song as their wedding march, so perhaps I'll get a chance to wed a Sabaton fan couple some day!
You could always renew your vows and have that played 😉

You guys should make a "Sabatonlied", a Sabaton song about Sabaton. Seeing Rammstein perform Rammlied live is AMAZING.
i've been listening to this music during my wife's birth giving. It was 2,5 years ago and I still have goosebumps when I hear it. Thank you for such a powerful track!
2:18 the gentleman was ether a geopolitical genius or a psychic.
In more ways than one Otto von Bismarck was a savant when it comes to politics.
15:58 Somebody has to be wrong... Everybody was wrong...!
Whenever I saw Indy talk about Conrad Von Hotzendorf I immediately pictured him saying "I'm back" in the voice of Kyle's cousin from South Park
Love when Iron Maiden use Churchill speech 🤘🤘
"There are no enemies in our show"
Aww...
I remember hearing the march to war when I saw them live for the first time. I thought they were opening up with The Lost Battalion, but then The Great War, and then I was confused what song it was. Then everything changed to Ghost Division. It was awesome!!!
This one was really cool! So now we can expect "Dead Soldier's Waltz" next, I guess?
So now I asking for episode about dead soldier's waltz.
Sabaton History : My Bedtime stories
Thank you Indy.
Give it another 8 months, and Pär's beard will be competitive with the guys in ZZ Top! 🤘😁🍺
Well, if Dusty ever needs a break Pär would be a great replacement.
This episode must have been a blast to the past for Indy (I mean his work on the Great War channel).
"There's something wrong with you."
There are MANY things wrong with me.
@Yu Hin TAM Both of you indeed, same here, but our love of Sabaton is not one of them
I do love dead soldier's watz, it is beautiful.
Also, I am still waiting for Longa Bollar
Ah yes!
Another great episode right here!
underrated fave!! so in love, i might do a brass cover of this
I hope you cover glorious land
I want to know the history of that song
Indy is great as always but I could listen to Par all day.
I miss the Final Countdown intro! I think I've seen Sabaton do it four or five times back in the day.
I would love to hear march to war as a song, its one of my most listened sabaton song ever
Of all the songs I was guessing the whole week (yeah, I start the day wondering what song you boys are gonna feature). This was the last on my list, and the surprise is more than welcome!
How does he keep that beard so epic ?!
Wow! A remarkable summary of Barbara Tuchman's "Guns of August" in just 13 minutes! I'm already an Indy Neidell fan!
He mentioned Hotzendorf. I feel so old now.
"My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."
please do dead soldier waltz!!!
New subscriber & complete dumb ass for not finding this channel before. By far the best going today. I appreciate the hard work putting this together. Thanks
Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Watching from distance.
6:52 and he flubbed that up MASSIVELY
Shame that you don't play it anymore, but i like the new one even though the intro only works when it's before Ghost Division
Not really the intro used to play before Panzar Battalion and honestly hit harder then ghost division.
There's one thing I have to disagree with Par on. Sabaton concerts do have a enemy that people are united against.
That enemy is the lack of good music!
I can't tell if this is an insult or a complement
@@calmernow Compliment. Sabaton is fighting against a lack of good music by playing awesome songs.
@@thescollard8764 ah, it's just the way you phrased it ;-; to me it seemed like a middle ground or something
its all fun and games until someone assasinates the archduke and start a massive chaos on europe and ended up having 17 million casualties
ww1 was hellish.... i feel bad for the soilders who died on that war
The killing of the arch-duke was the match that lit the powder keg. If it hadn't been him it would have been something else. The only one who really cared (besides Ferdinand's family) was The Kaiser, otherwise, it was back page news for the rest of the world (I've seen newspapers from that era).

5:06 lots of faces of souls scared 😢
Get the drummer to present one of these episodes!!! He's the core of any band.
And he has a tank.
I've made my own Sabaton playlist. It's almost 6 hours long and it starts with March to War followed by Ghost Division. How else you gunna start it 🤘
8:13, Ministry of silly hats.
The Rich Start Wars and Cheer for them the Poor Fight Wars and Dread them.
First concert, KISS 1975(?), Bob Segar as backup band. Awesome show.
Pissed at myself for not stretching my budget and seeing you guys in LA last year.
March to war is my wake up alarm sound !
I love research on geopolitics and the situations that led to war.
I think TH-cam just updated. I was gone for 5 minutes and it updated, and it never said anything or did anything.
I’m confused by this, because i just turned the iPad off, nothing else.
When will you do an episode on the song "man of war"? I'd love to see an episode all about the kings of metal.
History rocks keep it up
Nearly episode 100 keep it going and great work #episode100
Hearing von Hötzendorf's name form Indy's mouth gave me huge flashbacks to the old days of The Great War series. As if it was yesterday, that that project started and we were making jokes about him and Cadorna! The 7348294161th battle of the Isonzo will surely bring a decisive victory!!! :D
What about these songs: Firestorm and Swedish Pagans?
Yeah, I've been counting all songs and still waiting for these both songs
Swedish pagans should be with joakim..he’ll love talking about it
You'll get them.
@@mats7492 And Tommy. Don't forget about Tommy. He have to be in it
It's firestorm this week

Please do a video on the song rorke's drift but the topic is the siege of jadotville. So relatable
I was supposed to see these guys with Judas Priest back in September. Fucking 'rona! 2021 the year I WILL finally see Sabaton live!!!!
"Nobody wanted war. War was inevitable." (с)
If this vid would have came out one day earlier i could have known this for the test
Soldier 1 (British): why are we here?
Soldier2(British): to fight the Germans with the French, and help defend our homeland.
S1: but why are we at war?
Every soldier across the world: good fucking question.
An interesting episode, the soldiers had tremendous courage in the Great War❤️🔥
SabatonCruise 2021.... I hope so much
Could you guys do an episode on Glorious Land, ever since I've heard it I have always wanted to know what it was about but could never find much of anything.
I think its about polish or serbian soldiers there is a part in the song where you hear someone shouting in a Slavic language
@@kingbejita9680Ya the only thing I could find about it was a short thing saying it was about the polish soviet (i think) war before ww2
@@xeno3029 ah ok. I had a feeling

Now you've done it. I have to listen to the Terminator theme next.
SInce you've done one for the beginning, you should do one for the end. A episode on Dead Soldier's Waltz
Sabaton needs to release their own font generator!
December 10th 1914.
That'd be an interesting "what if" if Britain never joined the Great War
That and joining the Germans were a possibility
@@1320crusier In reality, Britain would've never allied with Germany, not if those planning its downfall had anything to say about it.
All right I personally want Dead Soldier's Waltz.
Awesome.
Metal Machine Next?
I always thought that The March to War was a slightly altered version of the intro of Cliffs of Gallipoli.
Anyone notice the skelebois next to the phone in the bottom left? See no evil, hear no evil, say no evil
6.24 a rare photo of Uncle Albert during the war
Episode 97? Is this for real?
Anybody else hyped for 100th EPs?
Im more hyped for the 101st! haha
It's could have been interesting to talk about the place of colonialism in the incresaing of the european tensions. Still good to listen, keep going guys, thank you !
I was at their Denver concert in Oct 2019, they played an ad for the Gary Sinise Foundation that was talking about WWI. The crowd was pumped and shouting U-S-A! before the music started playing.
Epic song
You should do an episode about your cover of en hjaltes vag and talk about vikings and raubiter
När solen lyser klart på himmelen blå, fallera
I saw Brian Head Welch in concert and they played the campfire song from sponge bob before they went on stage
Do you guys think you can do an episode on the first and second Chechen wars
How is it that Indy always sports some type of injury? lol.
Aaaand now you just made me watch Ghost Division from Woodstock ... ^^
