This video is about the 82nd Division who, together with Sergeant Alvin York stormed Hill 223 in September 1918. Just before that, the 'Lost Battalion' made a stance against the German forces in the same area.

@@fin4204 I tell you what, tour dates end in 2021 so maybe they'll release an album then (2 years, bit ambitious i know) but if they do. Im just saying they have barely covered Aincient/Roman/Dark ages history. An album about Alexander the Great, Justinian, Belisarius, The battle of Pliska, Actium, The rise of the Ottomans, Varna. There is more greatness on the horizon i am certain
Teaching is not about saying a bunch of shit for students to memorize, but instead, inspiring them and creating an eagerness to learn. That is what Sabaton does. It was never a joke.
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword". Figuratively speaking of course but you get the idea, he was there to save people and he knew that would turn others against them in the long run. Same with York, he killed all those people to save his own men, but of course anyone would question themselves indefinitely after performing such seemingly merciless actions. Desmond Doss I think is the model of a Christian soldier, he did as much as he possibly could without resorting to violence and let the Lord be his protection from the enemy, not a gun.
@@timothyissler3815 Most would say the people who started the Crusades were not Christian. Singlehandedly taking out an army though, that can tend to happen, *chuckles in Audie Murphy*
For most Americans, Alvin York is the image of the Great War. A conflicted man, a pacifist who found in his faith could justify defending his country and then turned performed one of the greatest individual acts of the entire war.
@@madogthefirst Never back a badger into a corner. There has been such a mad push by Liberals that those that just want to be left alone to live their lives have been backed into a corner.
For me, it's probably Seven Pillars of Wisdom, but since I burned the album to a disc for my car (yes it's old), all of the songs have grown on me. Great War easily went from one of my least favorites in the album to one of my favorites, as I listened to its solo a couple of times through.
In 2000 years people might think that this guy is a myth because he was so crazy. We think that Achilles is a myth because he is so outrageous and this man is the same thing.
We have stuff better documented now than the sources that are left of Achilles' epos. I hope our sources survive that long. Although 'modern epics and myths' might be a great new genre in the future.
My favourite part about Alvin York? He was one of the earliest voices saying we should fight in WWII against the Nazis. When a *pacifist* is all but outright saying "yeah, we need to fight these guys," you know shit's gotten serious.
Wouldn't mind in Oslo in February next year either. This one and attack of the dead men are a must!!! I Will be sad leaving the show if they aren't on the setlist. I fucking hate Oslo btw.
@@arcticpolar_bear1659 The immigration. My friend, who I usually stay with lives in a ghetto. She is adopted from a pretty insane country. Cab drivers from there call her a slut for wearing jeans and a nice top that isn't revealing at all. They want their women looking like mailboxes So it feels like I am the only white guy in Tøyen. And they don't like race mixing very much. So we get a lot of looks. I'm a big and scary looking guy. So I haven't had any problems yet. But her friends have had to run a few times.
I guarantee that this song will play well here in the USA. If you have stops in Tennessee and North Carolina, then you might have a riot if you _don't_ play this song! SGT Alvin C. York is a LEGEND in the United States Army, and especially in the Infantry. Growing up, I never saw the movie based on his life and deeds, but I learned all about him during Basic Training at Ft. Benning. He is still the Gold Standard to which the best of us aspire.
Unfortunately, they're not coming to TN on this tour. Closest is *Atlanta.* On one hand, hell yeah I'm going and they sure as hell *better* play 82nd All The Way, on the other, I'm sad they're skipping my state for this one.
The first time I heard this song I got super excited about it. As a Tennessean, I remember my 4th grade teacher forcing us to learn about him after no one knew about him. He really is our icon, especially for us in east TN
Your channel probably has been told this before, but the video stayed unlisted for some reason today. I almost suffered withdrawal from my lack of weekly Sabaton History.
The thing I like about Sabaton is that when you ask someone which song is their favorite, 20 people will have 20 different answers. They have so many good, different songs across so many albums and topics that it's hard to choose! From the Great War for a live performance, I'd go with Red Baron, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Devil Dogs, and Ghost in the Trenches as my top picks, but everyone else has different favorites from the album and different things they like about each song.
Last Friday was Yorks birthday but it was the same day my school went into a lockdown because of an active shooter threat. I was listening to this song when we heard it wasn't a drill and were told to hide in the corner, but I thought that wasn't something that Alvin York would do. I went up to my teacher and asked her for scissors and sat down by the door, waiting for someone to enter for about an hour and a half while listening to this song along with some others to keep me calm. Eventually the shooter turned out to be a false alarm but I'm still proud of myself for being brave and wanting to protect my classmates. Thank you Sabaton and Alvin York for inspiring so many people to be brave!
Desmond doss: the prequel Edit: I was gonna write a song suggestion for Desmond Doss on the sabaton website but I assume you’ve already gotten a lot of requests for that story
Sergeant York's story, that of a single soldier, who, through unbelievable luck, keeps running into more enemies, but keeps winning, sounds like the plot of an early silent film slapstick comedy.
Alvin York actually left the Regular Army as a Sgt. Later during WWII, he joined the Tenessee State Guard( Not TN National Guard) and became a Colonel.
Absolutely one of the best songs from the Great War album. It's definitely a catchy and upbeat song, and when I played it for my friends, they were very interested in the events described in the song.
Being from Tennessee, thank you for doing this song. Learned about Sgt. York in grade school and his story. Great that more people can learn his story.
Fun fact: Due to his bright orange hair, experts say he miraculously gained 25 extra freckles after coming back from the war, representing the souls of those German soldiers he took away.
@@alexandrah9824 Other movies you need to watch: The Bridge over the river Kwai, and the Young Indana Jones series set before, during, and after WW1; the series was directed by George Lucas in the (1990's) highly reccomend.
Hey, this is coming up unlisted for me, either someone forgot to list it or TH-cam fucked up, but i thought the episode was cancelled for the day and nearly missed it if I didn't go snooping around for it.
I thought TH-cam unsubscribed me for some reason, TH-cam likes to unsubscribe people from channels randomly. I checked and I was still subscribed. It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I saw the video.
I'm proud to be an All American, 504 PIR. I'm not much into this kind of music but this song about Alvin York is awesome! Thank you for composing and playing music to honor our Nation's heroes!
Alvin didn't buy the farm it was given to him from the state of Tennessee 328 acres is what my grandfather told me my grandpappy lived down on a holler down the road from Alvin Y.
I'd still like to hear a song from you guys about SGT Stubby, America's first, and still to this day, most highly decorated Wardog. He had a medal pinned on him by General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing himself! 😎🍺
The man just wanted his life as a religious person and didn't want to be in war, dude.. but when he did, the man turned into such well-known badass hero.. such legendary 🔥🔥
Me: I don't really like religion and people unwilling to fight. Sabaton: Makes a song about one, who was forced to fight. Me: This may be my next favourite song of the new album - blows up the speakers of the car.
As a retired US Army soldier, let me say: Sabaton, YOU ROCK! Thank you. I saw this video about Alvin York. I was already a huge fan of York since he is a US Army hero. I searched for other songs by Sabaton. I am amazed at the renditions of events and people in military history. I am now a lifetime fan of Sabaton!
I used to play Sabaton whenever it was my turn to lead pt sessions😂. This song for sure because it’s so good to work out to and the subject matter is so perfect
I had the great honor to visit Sgt. York’s home, meet one of his sons, and see his gallbladder that had been removed preserved in a jar. One of the best childhood memories I have! One of his uniforms and his Medal of Honor are also displayed at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville which I highly recommend seeing if you come to Tennessee!
York's battle was so badass, so incredible archeologists digged up the forest where it was fought like it was the Trojan War. All because people didn't believe it happened in the first place.
I was hoping for this one, given that this is probably my favorite song of the album, even more so now that I know the whole history behind Alvin York. Words cannot do the deeds of this man justice. To be standing in enemy territory and having the guts to not just charge in there, but take 100+ Germans captive without flinching is nothing short of amazing. Also interesting how, once again, two events/songs cross paths here.
This may sound crazy but I went to Basic training With Alvin York's Great Grandson. Me and him assigned to the 4th Civil Affairs Regiment of the Texas Guard.
Being a war hero sounds alot like people constantly bringing up and congratulating you for the worst things you've ever done on the worst day of your life. RIP Sgt. York. 82nd all the way
"Brigadier General Julian Robert Lindsey, who remarked: 'Well York, I hear you have captured the whole German army.' York replied: 'No sir. I got only 132.'" Stolen from his Wikipedia page but still, nothing about this epic quote? If you're gonna cover "Nuts!" and "C'mon you sons of bitches, do you wanna live forever", you gotta put this in. Also, just pointing out that while the Lost Battalion and Alvin York were certainly some of the biggest American stories of WWI, you can't just ignore Belleau Wood. Sorry if I'm sounding like THAT kind of dickhead. I love this series and this video does not disappoint. Thank you for providing us with this epic series, gentlemen.
Fitting verse for Sergeant York: Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. Psalm 144:1-2 ESV
Okay, this is the 3rd time I can host a movie night based on Sabaton History episode... after The Lost Battalion and the Heavy Water Sabotage. Excellent work everyone. Thank you so much for everything!

*"Devs Vvlt Intensifies"*
Same applies to Desmond Doss. Though he never killed.

Love the reference of the 82nd later being Airborne. Death from above what they now say!
I nominate 82nd All the Way to be on the Cleveland concert setlist!
German Soldier: Throws Grenade
Alvin York: So you have chosen death.
The Germans:"Kills York friends"
York:"So anyway, I started Blasting...."
Gets me so fired up...! My grandfather was 82nd Airborne. Makes me proud.
York went, as the kids say, went absolutely ham
Fantastic work as always, keep it up!! Still waiting for the Winged Hussars to arrive!!
Hopefully on or near 11 September for the anniversary
Thanks!
I had the great honor to visit Sgt. York’s home, meet one of his sons, and see his gallbladder that had been removed preserved in a jar. One of the best childhood memories I have! One of his uniforms and his Medal of Honor are also displayed at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville which I highly recommend seeing if you come to Tennessee!
York's battle was so badass, so incredible archeologists digged up the forest where it was fought like it was the Trojan War. All because people didn't believe it happened in the first place.
Thank you for this video about my great-great-great-uncle. Our family is very proud!
First found sabaton yesterday, this song got a good story and sounds epic, when i put my speaker at max power
I was hoping for this one, given that this is probably my favorite song of the album, even more so now that I know the whole history behind Alvin York.
Words cannot do the deeds of this man justice. To be standing in enemy territory and having the guts to not just charge in there, but take 100+ Germans captive without flinching is nothing short of amazing.
Also interesting how, once again, two events/songs cross paths here.
This is probably the only history channel which I like to watch every single video from
Man i love these videos
Thank you Mennie!
"Even Demons run when a good man goes to war."
This may sound crazy but I went to Basic training With Alvin York's Great Grandson. Me and him assigned to the 4th Civil Affairs Regiment of the Texas Guard.
my favorite song from the album
My great-grandfather fought as a part of the 82nd in WW2 at D-Day and Operation Market Garden. Survived both.
Def. the single best song on this album...
"I dance great, become patron!"
TY I was aware of Alvin York....even saving the newsprint of his death....but never knew the full story.
This is one my favorite type of videos on TH-cam. Best of luck to everyone In the band.
Thanks!
@@SabatonHistory you are welcome for that.
00:35 100 years later, not too much has changed.
Being a war hero sounds alot like people constantly bringing up and congratulating you for the worst things you've ever done on the worst day of your life. RIP Sgt. York. 82nd all the way
One of my all favorites
Nice. Been waiting for this one. Now please please please do Inmate 4859!
82nd all the way needs to be played in Prague on 26th of January 🤘🖤🍻
Please play Attack of the Dead men, in Chicago
And in Dallas!
Just play it everywhere PLEASE!!!!
In Stuttgart !!!! LG Alex🤘😎🍻
And in Saint Petersburg, dammit! (The one in Russia :))
@@КириллВольский-ц2ж Bro, Sabaton will be in Russia in spring. They will surely play objectively the best song in the album
"Brigadier General Julian Robert Lindsey, who remarked: 'Well York, I hear you have captured the whole German army.' York replied: 'No sir. I got only 132.'"
Stolen from his Wikipedia page but still, nothing about this epic quote? If you're gonna cover "Nuts!" and "C'mon you sons of bitches, do you wanna live forever", you gotta put this in.
Also, just pointing out that while the Lost Battalion and Alvin York were certainly some of the biggest American stories of WWI, you can't just ignore Belleau Wood.
Sorry if I'm sounding like THAT kind of dickhead. I love this series and this video does not disappoint. Thank you for providing us with this epic series, gentlemen.
i am constantly amazed at the stories of bravery and courage under fire from Sabaton History.
Don't make the man from Tennessee climb down from the Smokey Mountains and stop what he was doing to fight you. He ain't gonna be happy
Can confirm

I love the end with the dancing
Fitting verse for Sergeant York:
Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
Psalm 144:1-2 ESV
War is a terrible, terrible thing. The PTSD he suffered is incomprehensible.
It is. It really is. And it still happens to people all too often, scarring them, sometimes for life. War is never, ever to be taken lightly.

Okay, this is the 3rd time I can host a movie night based on Sabaton History episode... after The Lost Battalion and the Heavy Water Sabotage. Excellent work everyone. Thank you so much for everything!
