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.

I wonder what is going to be for the next album.
Famous stories,
Modern stories,
Medieval stories,
Colossal military disasters,
Star Wars, who knows.
@@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
Why is the video unlisted on you tube ?
Sabaton History hi
The Imperial Army salutes no man... but I salute Alvin York. May he Rest In Peace.
“Well York, I hear you have captured the whole damn German army.” “No sir. I got only 132.”
"Only 132?"

German Soldier: *throws grenade*
Alvin York: You dare oppose me mortal.
"Parry this you filthy casual!"
The German soldier: shizee
Germans when they try to attack Alvin York
The German soldier opposing Alvin York the doom slayer: “U-Uh please take pity on me I’m s-so s-sorry I threw that AAA-“
Moral of the story
Don't piss off the gentleman with a Bible
*"Devs Vvlt Intensifies"*
Same applies to Desmond Doss. Though he never killed.
Christ was a nice guy, until he walked in to Temple and saw money changers and the like in the place. Then he tore the place up.
“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*
"Joakim is my history teacher" has now ceased to be a joke.
This is not a joke but true for me
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.
Dude, I've been in the U.S. Army for 11 years. Sabaton helped me pass a promotion board.
When was it ever one
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.
York's friend: *dies*
York: I am surrounded by nothing but fear, and dead men.
God save me from sin, death and the wrath of a peacefull man.
@Henryk Gödel something like that.
With lot of recent news I'm noticing peaceful does not seem to mean what you think it means.
Welp, vengeance is the Lord's I guess. And seems York was the vessel.
Amen brother
@@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.
“They must’ve been overzealous bastards” Best line in Sabaton History. Fantastic song and easily my favorite on the album.
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.
Germans: "We have an army."
York: "I have a pistol and a Bible."

Your comment had 132 likes exactly. But I had to make it 133.
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.
Sabaton History thanks for replying :)
Ww1 and ww2 becoming the illiad 1 and 2 of the future sounds both endearing yet frightening considering how much the future would forget
Friend: "I bet you there is no metal band that talks about American Heroes like York or Murphy"
Sabaton: *"Allow us to introduce ourselves"*
What an oddly specific bet your friend made.
They say York's balls were so massive it took a whole platoon of soldiers to carry him back to base after capturing the Germans
Some says that the germans help the american carry yorks balls
I personally prefer to believe York was well endowed.
Family history would agree 😉 He is my 3x great uncle.
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.
Attack of the dead men, 82nd all the way, devil dogs, ghosts the trenches. Can't wait to see you live in November~
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.
why do u hate Oslo?
@@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.
You forgot "the lost battalion"
You forgot "the lost battalion"
When a good man goes to war, demons run.
Whovian, huh?😉
It's really very appropriate, isn't it.
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.
I'm from Tennessee and im dam proud of it
I’m from Knoxville, and if they come to Tennessee and play this, I can promise the place might explode
Hope you got around to seeing the movie. It's great, and pretty accurate
Going to the concert in Charlotte. Will keep you updated 😉
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.
Yeah i noticed that too. I live jn the Midwest and I usually get a notification around 8:30AM CT or after 9:00AM CT.
Same here!
I live in California and I was about 1130 here.
We were traveling yesterday so were only able to put it up now.. We're sorry!

Indy Neidell and Sabaton is a match made in heaven
right?
WW1: Alvin York
WW2: Desmond Doss
Or Leo Major.
Audie Murphy
I think he was referring to the hero’s with pacifist nature
WW2 had Leslie Allen
@@jeffthemercenaryLeslie Allen & Desmond Doss
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
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.
He had orange hair?
Fact: When Sgt. York was surprised, he dropped his rifle and grabbed his sidearm a 1911 in 45acp.
Hollywood: In the Sgt. York movie played by Gary Cooper, he picked up a Luger 9mm. During the making of the movie, Hollywood could not make a 45acp blank to function properly in the 1911. They had 9mm blanks, and Gary Copper captured the German with their own Luger pistol.
1911: What fuck, you're feeding me blanks? Fine I won't eat them.
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.
I think they should just play the whole album, have an intermission then come back and do older stuff.
THERE ON THAT DAY SGT. YORK ENTERED THE FRAY, SAVING THE DAY, 82ND ALL THE WAY!!!
In to the fires of hell, the Argonne
A hero to be !!!

Attack of the dead men, Sabaton History anyone?
That is a great story for them to cover! But I'm wating for "Pillars of Wisdom"! I want to see Indy talk about his video he made long ago
It’s basically “Russian men literally to angry to die”
Both out by now
The Legend of the 1911 was born that day, as the Legend of Alvin York was.
"2 world wars!" -some boomer
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.
What about Freddy Mercury? Will we ever see him again in Sabaton history?
Perhaps
@@SabatonHistory I must say I'm eagerly waiting for his return!!
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.
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.
You're welcome! Thanks for the support!
I'm from Tennessee and we have a Veterans Hospital named after him in Murfreesboro. He's been a hero to me as a kid
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
Eeeh.. York wasnt a pacifist.. they had little in common save for the war.
Idk if they got it already (probably) but i did Mad Jack Churchill. (and the viking of stamford bridge) i really hope they do a wwii themed album next
Suggest the hisei instead?
@@earendilthemariner5546 Stamford Bridge already has a song done by Amon Amarth. Song title is The Berserker at Stamford Bridge.
It's not about Desmond Doss, but The Ballad Of Bull has a similar story.
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!
😎🍺
I was so happy when I saw Sgt. York got his song.
Ja!!! LG Alex🤘
@@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 lieber Netro Lancer,I am glad you like classic Musik so good!!! Liebe grüsse Alex🤘☺
Alvin York was born in the same county as me and is something of a local hero. It’s amazing to hear Indy talk about somebody so close to home.
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
@@cmillivol98 go Vols
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!
Honestly can we just get an hour (or more) long Sabaton Podcast
The Attack of the dead man, 82nd all the way and Seven Pillars of Wisdom are my favorite Songs. Hope you Play them when you come to Stuttgart!
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.
Same
We were traveling yesterday so were only able to put it up now.. We're sorry!
@@SabatonHistory no need to apologize, I saw the gamescom concert, which was awesome.
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.
York: i can't join the war, the lord wants peace
Us army: "dons French beret" lets use reader response theory...
York: aw sheeite
Germans: *kill York's friend*
Alvin york: so you have chosen death
Definitely my favorite song on the Album next to Great War.
Ties with Seven Pillars of Wisdom for me, but there aren't exactly any bad songs on the album.
@@jazzbassrocker there really isn't. Even my least favorite The Red Baron is amazing. They really outdid themselves on this album.
My favorite song off the album. Just went to visit York's grave a few days ago actually. Thank you for this song and much love from Tennessee
Thanks a lot! You are very welcome!
*York's friend gets killed*
York: "Oh now you have messed up.."
*York proceeds to kill 132 Germans*
Never expected a metal song about my distant kin. thank you
I nominate 82nd All the Way to be on the Cleveland concert setlist!
Alvin york is so iconic even here in america we still sing songs about alvin york
Thanks for Alvin York and Audie Murphy. Great job.
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!
You're welcome!

"80 seconds all the way" Why is Sabaton singing about my sex life?
That's a bruh moment
Damn...
Mmh!!!
LG Alex🤘
We all know you don't have a "sex life". Other wise you wouldn't have written this comment.
@@fristnamelastname5549 Hey,thats not a fair comment !!! We are all Sabaton fans !!! Respekt bitte !!!
Watching this all the way from Tennessee!
"I dance great, become patron!"
I was just rewatching inglorious bastards and it mentioned York and so naturally I came straight back to this video after
•Was bullied for his religion
•Charged a hill
•Held a Bible
•Faced the Devil in the face
You sure this isn't Desmond Doss?
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 🔥🔥
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
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.
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.
82nd All the Way, Attack of the Dead Men, and Seven Pillars of Wisdom should definitely be sung live.
Love the reference of the 82nd later being Airborne. Death from above what they now say!
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
German Soldier: Throws Grenade
Alvin York: So you have chosen death.
War has had many Sgt. Yorks that did not live to tell their tale. We are lucky to have the stories we do.
York went, as the kids say, went absolutely ham
“...for the rest of his days.”
Yup, most likely PTSD
My great-grandfather fought as a part of the 82nd in WW2 at D-Day and Operation Market Garden. Survived both.
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!
TY I was aware of Alvin York....even saving the newsprint of his death....but never knew the full story.
"Even Demons run when a good man goes to war."
This is probably the only history channel which I like to watch every single video from
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.
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.

All my respect to Alvin York! I can't blame him for wanting to kill those machine-gunners after they killed his best friend and even shot at their own soldiers
First found sabaton yesterday, this song got a good story and sounds epic, when i put my speaker at max power
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!
sergeant Alvin York was THAT badass!?!?!?!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
They forgot to mention he’s the most decorated soldier of the whole war
Oh of course you’re in Europe so feel free release the video at 2:30 at night.
We were traveling yesterday so were only able to put it up now..
82nd all the way needs to be played in Prague on 26th of January 🤘🖤🍻
The Germans:"Kills York friends"
York:"So anyway, I started Blasting...."
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!
York actually tried to reenlist during WWII, but he was over 50 and had a long list of medical problems. In the end they just used him for recruitment and war bonds, but he was happy to do his part.
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
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 :))
@@user-pc1kl9uq6w Bro, Sabaton will be in Russia in spring. They will surely play objectively the best song in the album
Weekly reminder for Indy to watch Band of Brothers
Band of Brothers is the 101st Airborne.... This is about the 82nd which becomes the 82nd Airborne later on. 82nd Airborne has more Combat Jumps then the 101st too 82nd has also been in more Military Campaigns then the 101st.
When I was younger I didn't exactly know who Alvin York was. The first time I heard his name was from a joke in Wayne's World.
"I mean, there are two Darren Stevens, right? Dick York and Dick Sargent. Yeah, right, as if we wouldn't notice. Oh hold on: Dick York, Dick Sargent, Sergeant York... Wow, that's weird."
There on that day
Alvin York entered the fray
Saving the day
82nd all the way!
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.
I recently was in jail for a little over a month because of a crime I didn’t commit. Your music helped me deal with the situation. Thank you Sabaton.
Calm down Karel Janousek.
Thank you for this video about my great-great-great-uncle. Our family is very proud!
Gets me so fired up...! My grandfather was 82nd Airborne. Makes me proud.
