The danger of fighting someone that is dying... is that they have nothing left to lose.
Excellent point!
@@VloggingThroughHistory They should have bombarded them with smal inguts of silver in steed.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Oh-so-bloody true.
"The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose." - James Baldwin
The people with nothing to lose is the kind of people willing the burn the entire world just to prove their point
... and they are supposed to be dead but in fact not only they rise up from the corpses, spitting out blood and coughing pieces of gut, but also charged at you with a war cry
Germans walking forward. "Hans... why do I hear boss music?"
Beacuse the dead are rising
more like the black ops zombie next round music
“Megaton music starts playing” well fuck hans
Tsar Russian Name, Protector of the Mother Land
Hans why do I hear hardbass!?
As a former infantryman, this is the stuff that really stirs my heart. Those men could have easily laid down and accepted death. But instead they chose to make their enemy pay for every ounce of blood even though they were barely holding on.

@@braydenshafford342 the human body is fascinating isnt it? As long as you dont hit anything really mayor a human even if mortally hurt is still able to dish out tons of damage. Thats maybe one of the reason we humans dominated other animals.
Fun fact: When performing this song life Joakim actualy wears a gasmask with a mic somehow rigged into it and performs the whole song like that...Seen it in Zurich last year and yes it was epic...
The real version is with radio Topak!
@@williamgorham7339 yes!!
@@williamgorham7339 Actually, Sabaton gave him the song and let him record in it in Russian. So his version is legit (and the video's pretty cool), but it's still Sabaton's song. (-:
@@fisheyenomiko I know I’m just stirring the pot
@@williamgorham7339 that is well stirred pot.
Reminded me of the Classic meme:
Boy: Grandpa, wanna watch football (soccer)?
Grandpa: Who’s playing?
Boy: Austria-Hungary
Grandpa: Against who?
Boy: What do u mean?
Grandpa: You mean against Prussia?
Boy: Huh???..... oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Czechia-Slovakia in its more modern interpretation.
Imagine this: You are a German soldier on the eastern front. You are told that you were just to mop up a few remaining patches of resistance after the gas attack and be back home in time for dinner (-ish).
Then you lift your head over the top and see a bunch of armed enemy soldiers staggering towards you in extended line who, for all intents and purposes look like they died a week ago already. And they start shooting at you. You start picking them off, but they keep coming. They seem not to care about their own state and whether or not they get shot at - some even seem eager to get shot. Those dead men press forward relentlessly.
And you...You you happy few stand in the way of an enemy that has a) nothing left to lose anymore because they will be dead in an hour no matter what and b) is absolutely freaking livid because of you being where you are.
Some general is said to have said that any soldier’s aim should not be to die for his country, but to make sure that the other guy dies for his. For all you know, the other guy has already done his bit and died for his country. But now that dead guy has come back to make sure that you too hold up your end of the same bargain.
If this does not let raw, visceral and the unholiest of terror well up in you, you are already less of a human that this war has already made you.
This comment is so underrated it's horrifying.
"Some general is said to have said that any soldier’s aim should not be to die for his country, but to make sure that the other guy dies for his."
It was Gen. George Patton, during WWII. He was a lieutenant general at the time. The full quote, for those interested, is:
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
"...some even seem eager to get shot." Given how horrific death by chlorine gas is, I'm betting that's quite true.
Dude this is the description for an insanely badass situation for either a movie or a videogame, a death march of soldiers long gone to make the other side has the same fate as them, seriously man, badass.
@@wolfan20 This happened in "LotR: Return of the King", actually.
Hate to word it this way, but I wouldn't be surprised if the German soldiers shit their pants
"This really makes me want to study more about this attack."
And that is why Sabaton exists: to inspire us to remember our past...
“Hundred men charge again die again” pretty much sums up a lot of WWI. Love the videos
Summary of WWI is "Price of a Mile".
@@ceu160193 I believe that song is actually about a single battle (passchendaele if I remember correctly) although it still is a pretty good summary for the whole of ww1
@@ceu160193 then you lose it the next day
And 1916 is a summary of basically every war ever.
Another interesting story about Osowiec fortress was that the Russian defenders were told to hold the fortress for 2 days to allow the nearby towns to evacuate. They held out for over 6 months
The psychological effects of seeing the supposedly dead Russian soldiers stand and start to fight and kill your allies. It being the dark of the morning and this creepy green mist left in the air from the chlorine gas probably made it harder mentally on the German soldiers.
Truly a horrible experience for everyone involved.
Also, the gas was killing *everything*; plants, animals; the grass turned grey and any foliage was essentially gone. There was also rubble from Osowiec Fortress strewn about. These may seem like small things, but just imagine how much that added to the chaos and feeling of... death that permeated the place.
"How much is the Kaiser paying us?"
"Not enough!"
YASSSS, IM SOO GLAD YOU ARE REACTING TO SABATON, THIS IS A HUGE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR ME AND PROBABLY EVERYONE ELSE
Caps
Hey Captain Rex hows the war?
Hey captian didn’t expect you here
Radio Taptok Russian version is a really brutal video about the fight.
I’m bloody glad someone mentioned that. It is an incredible music video.
Isn't the clips he used is from the Russian World of Tank Channel?
@@haykalhakeem4473 I think a couple of his songs are, I don’t think the ones for Attack of the Dead Men is though.
@@haykalhakeem4473 no. There were used cuttings from the short Russian move about Osovetz. Worth watching, very perfectly filmed and directed.
it was even MORE terryfying when you read the details of the battle.
the osoweic wernt just wrapped in bandages they were COVERD in chemicals burns there eyes sufferd damagee and were pure bloodshot red while crying tears of blood they were in so much pain that they moved in a jerky stumbling way while there where coughing up bits of there lungs and vocal cords only able to wheeze and inhumanly scream and croak even there WEAPONS had decayed under the gas now appearing entirly rusted.
plus a russian battalion had finally arrived for reinforcements far behind the fort coverd in thick gas and began to fire on the germans threw it making it seem to the germans that ALL of the dead were coming back.
aka in every convinciable method and way to the germans they truly were the angry dead returned to seek venagance and truly they were dead men walking filled with the adrenaline and rage to seek vengance one last time the only diffrence being they hadnt died yet.
Its great to see a reaction channel that understands the background of these songs. Please do more Sabaton
Sabaton: The great tour En livstid i Krig (english subtitles) would be an awesome next reaction. It's about a swedish soldier experiencing the horrors of the Thirty Years' War
You really should check that one out!! Wont regret it!😉
Agreed, live from Gothenburg, and don't forget to switch on the subtitles
@@AlvenmodFoto I was there for my first sabaton concert. It was an unspeakable experience.
There were so many old news articles about that attack that the title read attack of the dead or army of the living dead. There were stories that people heard that soldiers who had been shot in the chest would just get up and keeping going as if nothing happened.
Once you are coughing up your lung, being missed by hairs width would look like you were hit. And even if you were, you are coughing up your lungs, what is a bullet wound compared to that?
Interesting thing about this song is that before they released it they contacted a Russian singer that was known for translating Sabaton's songs into Russian and had him release a Russian version of the song first.
Another great one is "Fields of Verdun" by Sabaton
@@noahmersereau3390 yeah just had a dumb moment lol
@@noahmersereau3390 I dont really care lol I'll just edit it so it's the right song lol
That's the only song I know of that had a cover released before the actual song :)
That is one of the things I love about Sabaton, It makes me want to learn more.
If you want one about the Eastern Front, one of my favourites is "Night Witches", about an all-female Soviet air force bomber regiment. They've also done a few others related to the Eastern Front (e.g. "Panzerkampf"), including some related to the Winter War / Continuation War between Finland and the USSR.
I respect the shit out of the Night Witches. Being able to do what they did with the shitty hand me down gear and planes they got is nothing short of amazing and truly impressive.
"I know little about what happened in these events" proceeds to explain almost all information in 2 minutes 😅
A hundred men, covered in chemical burns, bleeding from their eyes, nose, mouth, ears, stumbling at you while coughing up *pieces* of their own lungs and howling because they can no longer speak? When you're told not to expect resistance because the enemy has no gas masks and should be destroyed? And they're still shooting at you and bearing weapons that too are decayed from the gas? Yeah, just about anyone would flee such a horrific sight.
Hello from Russia!Please do reaction on Sabaton-Panzerkampf(Music Video) and Sabaton-Night Witches(Animated Video Story)
And you must do reaction on russians covers of Sabaton by RADIO TAPOK PLEASE!IN TOP PLEASE
он же не поймет что тапок поет. Врядли ему будет интресно, если он не понимает слов.
Radio Tapok cover of this song is awesome
видеоряд даст ему более понятную картину
"I only know a little bit about it" : proceeds to basically fully explain the battle
I’m thrilled you’re taking a dive into this. Can’t wait to see more of your videos bud.
This is great, hoping to see more Sabaton reactions! Been a fan of Sabaton for a long time but obviously dont know the back story about all these songs so this is really interesting!
The fact that you want to learn more about the history is exactly what sabaton is about. Creating badass songs to make people want to learn about history and to remember these battles.
This song really tickles that part of my brain that wants to see a classic-style zombie movie set in WWI.
As someone from Russia, I feel proud, when Ilistening to this song, but at the same time, this song makes me cry. EVERY. GODAMN. TIME. I can't specify enough, what I feel in that particular moment, because it simply impossible.
As a fellow history buff and a Sabaton fan I am glad I just found our channel. Going through many of your videos tonight :)
Greetings from Iceland.
Greetings Frimann! Glad to have you!
"That and a bunch of machine guns" I shouldnt but I laughed so hard
They have a dramatic version of this song that slaps
Great reaction. Keep doing Sabaton reactions and you will get alot of history.
LOL... Another Sabaton reaction already?
Sir, you have been bitten 🇸🇪S🐍S🇸🇪
Partly that, and partly the fact that Sabaton reactions get 10x the views my other reaction videos get!
Plz react to “Night Witches” the animated version... It’s a killer 😉
That time when 100 Imperial Russian soldiers made 7,000 of the Kaiser's finest load their shorts. 🤘😁🍺
That's not so funny 😅
are you kidding who wouldn't run after seeing basically zombies coming for you
Eh if the opposite happened with the germans make no mistake the russian would lose their shit as well. That kinda thing is terrifying no matter what.
Sabton history is a good channel. It provides the historical context to the songs as well as how the band came up with the idea for the song.
I'm late to Sabaton's history metal genre and just heard this song for the first time today.
Absolutely blown away, incredible.
I wached Sabaton videos and then popup your reaction video to Bismark, thats how i got here and now im subscriber.Creetings from Estonia 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
Glad to have you here!
"a thousand subscribers before the end of the year" and here you are 4 months later at 62 thousand :') congrats!
Another great history themed band is Ex Deo (side project of the band Kataklysm). They are a Roman history melodic death metal band. I would recommend "Romulus" or "The Final War (Battle of Actium)", but my favorite from them is "The Immortal Wars" album, about the 2nd Punnic War
If you are gonna do more Sabaton let me suggest the animated videos for "Nightwitches" about the Russian 588 squadron of female pilots, and the animated video for "No bullets fly" both are awesome and tells a lot about the history behind the songs.
And down the rabbit hole we go :)
i suggest you check out the Russian cover by Radio Tapok (he was actually supported by Sabaton). He uses parts of an actual recreation Video about the Attack from the Videogame Company Wargaming
I remember when I first watched this video, I recalled a music video for "Last Dying Breath" by Moonumental, which perfectly fits into the Attack of the Dead Men, I think it simply was this story that video was based on. Anyway, I recommend you check that out in context of this song.
2 songs you can do: Ghost division and primo Victoria.
Nice reaction channel. Keep going👍
Greetings from Belgium 🤘
Wow! This is and intriguing story. I'll have to check this out. I'm new to WWI.
I'll be 43 next week and until recently knew next to nothing about it until a random comment on an episode of "Friends" made me curious.
Been binge watching your videos, saw that you reacted to a sabaton song. "Wonder if he reacted to attack of the dead men." Yep. Not disappointed.
this is one of my fave sabaton song
this is definition of going out in style
Huh, I had been wondering about the backstory for this song. And wow, people never stop amazing me when it comes to things we're capable of enduring and capable of doing.
For the next song, I recommend either Verdun, Primo Victoria, or The Last Battle.
Waaait 1k 4 months ago. You are growing very fast
imagine getting absolutely destroyed by people that had their body fluids turn into hydrochloric acid
I've actually inhaled hydrochloric acid fumes in a lab before (my fault). I would describe the sensation as:
If youve ever drank soda and burped out your nose, you'll notice a stinging in your sinuses. A very light whiff (I took the beaker out of the fume hood for 2 seconds) resulted in the same pain, but 50x more intense.
Great video! Really hope you react to Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Great Story and equally as catchy!
You have to imagine the fear of the Germans, watching as men who are barely standing and coughing up their insides gunning down your allies.
The common thing between a guy from a zombie movie and a guy from the eastern front of the german army: "Wait, why is he not dead?"
You've been in the joint to long AL (if you get the reference you are epic)
React to sabaton more often!! They are amazing
This is badass on another level!
6:10 Really didn't expect you know this many historians don't know about that it's perfect
One thing I haven’t really heard mentioned was how ghastly the sight must’ve looked for an advancing German soldier through a gas mask that didn’t give optical clarity also in combination with whatever dirt, mud, blood, etc. Then to see a fortress in the background with an eerie green mist all through the lens of the gas masks had to be absolutely terrifying! Plus we have the luxury of now knowing what the gas does. For some of the common foot soldier, who knows what type of stories filled their minds’? Could’ve been a vengeance from God for such a terrible weapon that kills without honor or conscience? A million things must’ve gone through their minds. Curious what your thoughts might be on this idea?
This song has one of my favorite choruses.
Second time posting this but do The Last Battle by Sabaton it’s one of my favorite songs of theirs plus it’s a great WW2 story
I second this, The Last Battle is too underrated for how good it is.
It is a great song, but its actually about the great war not the WW2. Love your profile pic.
@@karlozortega246 I’m glad you appreciate the pfp lol but the last battle is about the battle of castle itter where German Wehrmacht troops fought alongside US Troops against a large number of nazi SS soldiers
How has that story not been made into a film like it's could be as bonkers and crazy a Hollywood film and it still probably wouldn't be as crazy as what actually went down, like anyone that didn't know about it would think it's some stupid Hollywood take on ww2 But no it just a mad story
@@leodesalis5915 if they made a movie on it I’d watch it a dozen times at least
When the german kid farts in the locker room, but the russian kid stays
you really need to do the 2 animated history video's. "Night Witches" (Not the animated music video, the animated history video) and "No bullets fly"
I also imagined if someone ever played this in the stark tower/ Avenger compound, Natasha would be the one who would dig it the most, wanting to know the name of the band and song, so she could add it to her workout Playlist. That and Night witches, im hard pressed for you to tell me otherwise.
This depicts why one of the rules of Sun Tzu in the book Art of War is that you should ALWAYS leave one path of retreat to the enemy. When your very last options are die or die fighting, you surely choose to fight with your highest level of resistance and pretty much you become a menace in berserk mode.
At 0:58 it isnt a normal russian fortress, its Osowiec fortress this is why in the song"OSOWIEC THEN AND AGAIN"Was said as there was multiple infantry charges from the German Empire and Russia. No infantry charges from both sides won the battle.
I love sabaton i love the album the great war
Wait what a thousand subs before the end of the year?
6months later and you’ve already got 150K
Hello from Russia)
Great song
Keep making these videos)
Hans; “vat vas zat noize?”
Franz; “du are zearing zings.”
Hans; *Fucking dies*
Sabaton "En livstid i krig" live from Gothenburg this year. Epic!!!!!!
In swedish so put caps on
Sabaton history channel is great to, and can be both educational and quite fun to watch .
I didn't realise that CoD Zombies was historically accurate
If any one is looking for more info. The channel Sabton History does a in depth dive on all the songs
You have to watch the Radio Tapok cover of this song that he did in Russian with the help of Sabaton. It is essentially the official music video for the song. When Sabaton toured in Russia they also brought Radio Tapok with them.
We've read and heard in interviews that even the most hardened German Stormtroopers turned and ran thinking they were true zombies (which as far as we're concerned, they were...), outnumbered or not.
There are misconceptions about this battle. Defense was organized in several layers with several km distance in between. Gas attack killed everyone in the first line of defense. Second line was mortally intoxicated, but alive and they checked the german advance. Garrison in the actual fortress was only lightly intoixcated and sent out reinforcements. Artillery battery in the fortress was fully operational and inflicted serious damage on the attackers. Germans did not run like cowards. They fought, there was a melee, but with artillery support and several counter attacks from the fortress germans have been routed.
Last Stand next PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS and merry Christmas From Philippines
Fun fact, germans remembered Osowiec so when they invaded Poland in 1939 just avoided this place and never attaked army that was stationed there :D
Hello from Russia. There is a russian short movie about that fight. I think it's called Osovets attack of the dead(or something like that). It has an english subtitles
History fact, as Greek in history we learned when Germans in ww2 attacked the Ruppel fortress, they used AGAIN poison gas to take the fortress (the battle to took down fortress take months) and they mange to took the fortress by poisoned gas grenades throwed to the air system of the fortress.
Lion from the North with sabaton is a very good song
This is proobably the most metal event in history.
Winged Hussars reaction: if you know LoTR
Attack on the Dead Men: it's like in GoT
Me: a man of culture I see
"We're making a push to 1 thousand subscribers" ya.... About that *looks at 188 thousand*
There is an awesome Russian cove of this song, with a music video as well. (All endorsed by Sabaton)
ThAtS aBoUt aLl I kNoW aBoUt It: proceeds to tell exactly what happened.
It is said the the retreating German forces took more casualties due to their own mines, barbed wire, and troops by being trampled then the Russians inflicted because of the sheer panic.
One of the most painful yet also one of the coolest way to die
"outnumbered seven or eight to one"
Add a zero to that. Those odds were STACKED!
And that's when the dead man are marching againnnn
6:30
YEAH
you catched the VIBE!
nice voice? why you dont sing? that intonation was good :D
Great reaction! Check out Sabaton's "Fields of Verdun", "Seven pillars of wisdom", "To hell and back", "Devil dogs" and "Lion from the North". Official music videos for all of these songs. Happy Holidays and greetings from Sweden!🎆🇸🇪🎁🎄
Man you should check their song Shiroyama. It is absolutely great song and it is also greatly conected with film The Last Samurai. Sorry for my gramar, english is my second language.
Your English is very good!
@@VloggingThroughHistory thanks a lot by the way sabaton has also song about one of heroes of my country its name is Far from the fame. Im from Czech republick and recently the shoted part of their video in my home town. This song is The great war. If you could do a rection to one of them it would be absolutely amazing.
Hello there my good sir, i absolutely love your videos. i have learned so much from your immense knowledge about History. i am personally thankful to the great creator that Germany did not win WW2. i am someone that loves history a lot, i am also a language nerd. i am focusing on my third language as we speak. I will never praise The red terror for what he did to the Motherland, i will say he did at least outsmart Hitler regardless both of them were extremely paranoid.
Faithful to duty. Even beyond the threshold of death.
I love this song and it's kinda sad this storty have yet to be made into a movie
