Dear Sabaton I salute you. I have been never expecting it to happen but it did. I have never feel so alive . Thank you from my heart and soul. You made a ton of Bulgarian people proud. The music and text are perfect match made in metal heaven. As a biker,metal head and Bulgarian I can’t say how much I thank you for that song. Btw in few days is my birthday so I will play this everyday and I will send it to all my friends to enjoy it. I hope I’m going to see you on our stage preform this great song and see how much we love you. From one of your army of fans . Keep going up and going strong. For those who are not forgotten .
Guys thanks a lot!This is great honor for us Bulgarians! I have no words to describe how I feel now! My eyes are full with tears! Thanks brothers you will be always in our hearts!Respect!Love! Long live Sabaton!
Yesterday was the Bulgarian National Day of liberation. And today it came the song I was waiting for mounts! Thank you Sabaton! With love from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
One of the few foreign generals given mention in the british history books - general Vladimir Vazov. In 1936 he was invited to the victory celebration in London. When the Bulgarian delegation was passing, the British ordered "Flags down! General Vazov, the victor of Doiran is coming through!" Later Lord Milne greeted Vazov telling him he was honoured to meet him. Milne said he respected the bulgarian soldiers not only because they were tough, but because like the British, they fought like gentlemen.
another fun fact: It is said that Churchill's hate for Bulgaria originated from Doiran. He commanded the English forces In the region. He got beated by the Turks in Gallipoli and by us in Doiran.....
1917 year : Over 330,000 British, French and Serbs attacked the Bulgarian positions on the front near Doiran. The ninth infantry Pleven division of General Vladimir Vazov fought in the most difficult section. At the decisive moment, the Bulgarians rose in a knife attack ... and won. Another interesting fact is that the Bulgarian army has never lost a battle flag.
A song for the great battle of Doiran as the British called it little Verdun. Bulgarian army showed it's might and hold their lines! Glory to the 9th Pleven division and general Vazov. Thank you Sabaton!
@Eddie Wrathchild Macedonia was never serbian land, the serbian black hand occupied it during the balkan wars and later on again between the two world wars... educate your self little bit search VMORO history.
Fun fact: The bulgarian army at Doiran was pretty pissed at general Vladimir Vazov, for making them dig trenches, and build bunkers for 6 months in the hot summer, instead of relaxing. The underground tunnels and bunkers they dug, were bigger than today's Sofia metro. In the end, it turned out to be the right call - the british shot more than 150 thousand artillery shells and lots of poison gas. Only 7 people died, because they lost their way, the rest were completely unharmed. When the british aproached the trenches they were expecting to find just bodies, but instead the whole 9-th Pleven division started pushing them back. After the war, when general Vladimir Vazov became mayor of Sofia, women would carry food to his office in gratitude for saving their sons and husbands - only 700 casualties after a battle like that.
Finally, someone acknowledged that my country exists and did something in WW1. WW1 video games like Battlefield 1 completely ignore the fact that Bulgaria took part in WW1, and WW1 documentaries I've seen make it sound like WW1 was just Germany against everyone else with maybe Austria-Hungary mentioned here and there. After not hearing a single song about Bulgaria in Sabaton's last WW1 album, I thought that they too will completely ignore the fact that my country took part in the Great War, but they didn't and this makes me happy. This album as whole is phenomenal, great job Sabaton, and thank you for making a song about Bulgaria.
@@ivobakardzhiev339 If you can actually find a populated server that is. Verdun usually sees about 50-140 players on the EU servers when I check and I'm given to the understanding that Tannenberg has even fewer active players at any given time. But yeah their good WW1 FPS games, if a bit limited by the aimed starting scope of the code and aging graphics.
@@ivobakardzhiev339 Already have Tannenberg. It's a good game, but sadly it has very few players and I mostly find myself fighting bots. I also have Verdun, but it has a similar problem.
Well, my country had an even bigger role but is almost as forgotten in the west as Bulgaria, if not as much, than at least a bit less cos we did start the whole thing.... Still, i remember Bulgarias involvement in WW1 brother, so dont worry, at least us Serbs remember 😉 Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸🇧🇬🇷🇸🇧🇬🇷🇸
I had to look it up too - occurred three times. Battle of Doiran (1916,1917,1918). At least not as bad as the 12 or so battles of the Isonzo river between Italy and Austira-Hungary
You should look up that time You guys had your a** handed to you in Africa By natives It was before that B******* with a 100 Soldiers defending A coastline from a few 1000 Indigenous peoples It's like wow that 1st one was national embarrassment
I'm British, and after this song, I felt the need to look up the events of this song. I'd like to give my heartfelt respect. Thank you for showing me the bravery of these men
@@josp5900 Because they were the only ones who promised to fulfill our national ideal. Not saying if its wrong or right, just pointing out the historical fact.
I’m a Bulgarian-American and my great grandfather was a Bulgarian soldier. I showed him this song and he let out a huge smile and said he loved this song. He died early this month and this song was what he had on repeat before he passed. Now when I hear this song I feel as if he is still with me.
I am bulgarian and a fan of the band for super long time.When i see the song and listen to it TEARS run from my eyes,evry time i hear bulgarian,Vazov ,for white green and red!!!! I was realy crying.Thank you Sabaton! Love from Bulgaria.
As a romanian makes me respect the bulgarian troops that fought on our lands(both romanian and bulgarian), we shall remember the history about our past and respect both sides and remember that we need to stay united!
@@-hystoria1338 Well yes, I know what you are talking about, we are a country that mostly betrayed pur allies and I do not really stand for that, but by that rule we survived the blood history that would have awaited us. For hindreds of years we were at the meet point of a lot of empire (Roman, ottoman, Mongolian, Russian, Hungary and, Austrian, Polish, Bulgarian) and we survived, it's not only about the betrayals here (like for France is not only about the surrender) and we need to understand that in modern days we need to be united.
@@-hystoria1338 first of all, pretty interesting you say we don't exsist, following by you saying that we betrayed our friends, as an "unexisted country". Second of all, saying that Romania is "part of Hungary" is the equivalent of saying Canada is part of Russia or sum. The only land you fellas owned was Transylvania and that's it (with Romanian majority in it but nevermind) (yes I can prove we were majority in there). And last but not least, "betrayed our friends", how? When? I've heard so many times how we changed the side in ww2, but do you even know why we did that? I'll let you find out by telling you some key words, Ion Antonescu, Russians coming over, Communists coming at power, Fascists falling. Don't talk about history if you don't know it
Im in tears, my dad was HUGE fan of yours, but he sadly passed away 3 months ago because of cancer. I'm sure he is somewhere up there enjoying what you just did there, a masterpiece! Thank you very much, Sabaton for remembering our fallen ones and our heroes. BULGARIA WILL PREVAIL, amen.
My dad study in Bulgaria in 1978, he graduate there and knowing close friends there, here in my house we thank sabaton to do this incredible song about one of the most forgotten, but most incredible force in the central powers, VIVA BULGARIA 🇵🇦🤝🇧🇬
Fun fact my father used to study the same years back then and had panamian friends, as he sais they were couple of them in the University of mining and Geology. By any chance your father was in the same university?
One of my favourite facts of WW1 is that over the course of the war, it's estimated that Bulgaria (whose 1915 population was 4,930,151) mobilised about 1,200,000 men; That's _a quarter of their population!_ They also mobilised quick, they started on September 1915, and in under a month they had 616,680 soldiers.
We weren't called "The Prussia of the Balkans", without a reason. Our neigbours saw that and decided to unite and neutralize their collective enemy tho...
Man our lion holding on to the shield with Bulgarian colors , while still being stabbed by 4 sabers gets me every time. The fact that we never had a flag captured by an enemy only enhances the power of the image. Сила и чест. Благодаря ви Sabaton.
@@rokadamlje5365 it signifies Bulgarians never losing a flag in a war/battle and our crest being a lion. No matter how wounded or attacked, against the odds, the flag , or in this case the shield is never let go of
Imagine being the father of General Vazov. One of his sons is one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) generals in Bulgarian history and the other is the greatest author in Bulgarian literature.
Imagine being Gen. Georgi Vazov leading one of the Bulgarian Armies during the Siege of Adrianople (1913) and not being the greatest general even in your family...
Don't forget their brother, General Georgi Vazov. Who also led the Siege of Adrianople two months later, during which Edirne was captured. ( With its seventy thousand garrison the fortress was considered impregnable)
@@VasilBelezhkov Both of them are LEGENDARY! Deep respect for whole Vazov family, cause they give so much to Bulgaria and Bulgarians, so we could be proud of them!
@@AdamDavies-l3k You win after Bulgaria tried to peace and negotiate while USA and Britain are flattening the ground of our capital Sofia with bombs? Bulgarians should never forgive USA and UK for that!
Well technically yes but actually NO. You beat Germany and tbf we couldn't fight all the allies by ourselves. Well we would take like half your armys but still it will be dumb decision having in mind how England and France act whit beaten enemies (they act like Rome whit Cartage) so yea we loose the war but never beaten 😉@@AdamDavies-l3k
@@Vollzer America has started more wars in the 21st century than any other developed nation. You listen to a known serial killer preach non violence and you believe him
I'm from Bulgaria and my grandpa used to tell me the story about this fight like a hundred times so this song gave me chills. Too bad he passed away last year from covid, he would've loved it. At least now every time I listen to the song I'll remember him.
На колко години е починал? И на колко години е бил по време на ПСВ? Направи една проста сметка от 1921 до 2021 са 100 години. Не вярвам да са го взели бебе в армията. Вярно, че сме имали най-голямата мобилизация от всички, ама чак пък толкова.

In my home town Vidin, we have unique monument of victory like no other in Europe. The dying grenadier, even tho he is a winner, he is grieving for the bothers he slayed during the Serbo - Bulgarian war. Respect brother!
While the saying "war without hate" is often incorrectly attributed to Erwin Rommel, it seems to be a far more eastern concept. We've been at war for centuries, and every eastern European nation has ruled over some other eastern European nation in the past, so no one really hates anyone. I'm sure I have family who did some pretty horrific things to Poles, and yet, as a Russian, I can walk down any street in Krakow, Gdansk, or Warsaw, wearing a Russian army uniform, and no one will care. Well, they might be a bit confused, but no more than anyone would be to see a foreign soldier in uniform in their country
Probably our most famous victory during WWI, thank you Sabaton! Literally, how much more can you awake patriotism in a guy after liberation day? Have Sabaton release a song about your country. So proud to be a Bulgarian even more after this!
A proud Bulgarian here, thank you for the awesome song about that epic battle, it's also really nice that you're releasing it a day after the national day of Bulgaria, March 3rd.
About time your country got some recognition for how they fought in ww1, I have heard the term "Prussians of the Balkans" being thrown around regarding the Bulgarian armed forces during World War One and I can't argue with it.// A Swede
@@AH13371 Out of 4.5 million population, Bulgaria managed to mobilize and equip an army personnel of over 1 million during the Balkan wars and WW1, the highest in the Balkans at that time. We pretty much turned into military state during that period
Alex H Thats kind of insulting considering how incompetent Germans are at waging war. I’m fact, the only reason Bulgaria lost is that it was allied with incompetent Germany’s

Massive respect for Sabaton for representing one of the greatest battles in history. Glory to the Bulgarian soldiers who defended Bulgarian soil and the honor of Europe! Long live Bulgaria and long be the memory of her soldiers who gave the British their biggest defeat in history!
Thank you so much for making this song. My great grandfather fought in Doiran in the 9th Pleven Division. I can even express what I'm feeling listening to this song. Only a day after the Bulgarian national holiday. I love you Sabaton.
I am Bulgarian from Pleven - the home of 9th Pleven division. I was eagerly waiting to hear this song and you made me really, really proud! THANK YOU, SABATON!
70 000 Brits and French vs 12 000 Bulgarians. We were gassed, bombed, starved, yet we still held! Officers charged leading injured troops, and reclaimed the first line! This battle is taught in military academies around the world. And I'm sure that if the time comes, the spirits of those soldiers there, will lead us to glory once again. We still have brothers outside our borders!
Unfortunatly to you, at the same time on Dobro Polje you were facing the unpatient Serbs, so Doiran battle didn't have any significant influence on the frontline and war overall.
Rastko Nosović Mate. The Serbian win at Dobro Pole had nothing to do with the Serbs and everything to do with the incompetence of the german high command which refused to give an order for counter attack. The same goes for Doyran.When Bulgaria joined WW2 Serbia was completely annexed, and the Bulgarian push into Greece was very successful. The only reason Bulgaria didn’t completely take out Greece and Serbia is because th Germans wanted to leave one more front open so the brits and French would have to send more troops to the Balkans, this weakening them in the west. Furthermore, Serbs and French outnumbered Bulgarians 5 to 1 at Dobro Pole.
Bulgarians be waiting on a song recognizing them to finally get one and its one of the most epic and uplifting songs that I've heard from Sabaton. We see you Bulgaria, love from Canada! 🇨🇦💙🇧🇬
Това е голям жест на уважение! Парчето излиза точно на деня на Освобождението ни! Винаги съм подценявал групата, но този път съм приятно изненадан! Разкошно парче!
Bulgaria was a very powerful country, especially on the battlefield! She never lost a battle flag! The battle of Doiran is still studied in many military textbooks in the UK! And General Vazov was greeted with honors during his visit to the UK after the war. I advise you to read about Khan Tervel who saved Europe from the Arabs in 718.
Had to look this battle up (History is my weakest subject) and as a Brit, all I have to say is "fair play!". The Bulgarians completly destroyed us and I'm not even mad. You have to respect that kind of tenacity. GG.
Greetings from the Isles. I'm glad Bulgarians and Brits a like can rock out to this amazing song. And I know I'm late but happy day of liberation to all the Bulgarians out there!
So this is the feeling when Sabaton makes a song about your country... Holy shi*t is it awesome! Much respect for this masterpiece! Doiran is one of the greatest battles in WWI and one of the greatest Bulgarian victories after the liberation. To my fellow Bulgarians - do not forget our ancestors and do not forget where we come from!

Turkic Bulgarian here. My grand relatives died during this war defending Bulgaria. Bulgaria is my motherland and will always be! If there would be a war to test our will, I shall be one of the first to answer the call!
As a Bulgarian - this song filled my heart with joy. I am proud with my great grandfathers. I have two of them that fought for our independency and freedom. One of them died at the Bulgarian - Serbian war from the same period that the song describes. He was at the United States of America when the war broke out, but answered the call of duty and came back to fight and defend his motherland. He was shot and killed near our western border, fighting Serbian troops. (No hard feelings for the Serbians) My other great grand father is Stoyan Malchankov - Voivoda (Voivoda means something like a captain in my language) - you can google him. There is a detailed wiki page about him. Thank you for this song Sabaton! Amazing work!
So much classic Scandinavian power metal in this song. It's like going back to the 90s and 2000s style with those gallops and that solo. Damn I love this album already! 🤘
Гордея се, и още как! Почти сигурен съм, че такава история няма почти никоя друга, а може би изобщо никоя друга държава. А тази песен, освен ОГРОМЕН подарък за нас, е и наистина много мотивираща.
Bulgarian here. Thank you, Sabaton for making this song! I've listened to it like 100 times and still can't get enough. We, as a nation, needed this song a lot now. I don't think you will ever understand how important this was for us and how proud you made us feel. I don't know what to say except one big Thank you for making our hearts beat fast and our eyes see the light. I can't wait to see you in Bulgaria again. Be prepared to feel our love and appreciation.
This band has found their perfect sound. Not that they didn't have it before. But great catchy lead melodic riffs and catchy hooks with synths only adding to the great wall of sound = DAMN. This record has already been banger after banger
still remember my great-grandfather, who left at 92 years old and had 6 bullet holes in his back, who told me: if you stand on the front line, know that there is no going back, only going forward! every time i hear this song i imagine how he moves on because he doesn't know what it's like to come back
Greetings from Skopje, Bulgarian brothers! Bulgarian army is my favourite WW1 army and was best Balkan army. We are two countries, but one people! MK♥BG
Thank you for this song! Here are some facts about the Battle of Doiran: The battle for a breakthrough in the Bulgarian positions began on 22 April and continued intermittently until 9 May 1917. The assault began with a bitter four-day artillery barrage in which the British fired about 100,000 shells. As a result, the earthworks and some wooden structures in the front positions were destroyed. The Bulgarians also opened fire from the batteries between Vardar and Doiran. General Vladimir Vazov ordered fire day and night on the Allied positions. The initial several-hour struggle between the British and Bulgarian batteries was followed by a one-hour Bulgarian counter-barrage in which 10,000 shells were fired. The British infantry began its attack on the night of 24-25 April - 12 companies attacked the Bulgarian 2nd Brigade and after a bloody fight managed to take the "Nerezov", "Knyaz Boris" and "Pazardzhik" positions. After a Bulgarian counter-attack the British were repulsed with heavy casualties and by 8 pm had retreated. The British assaults on the right and central fronts were also repulsed with heavy casualties after help from the Bulgarian artillery. The British attacks in the next two days were defeated by constant Bulgarian fire and counter-attacks. Due to this fire the British withdrew to their initial positions on 27 April, the Bulgarians immediately started to reconstruct the destroyed fortifications. Due to criticism by their high command, the British made new attempts at a breakthrough. On 8 May, after a long artillery barrage, they began another attack. The main assault started at 9 pm with five waves of British troops attacking the Bulgarian positions. After four attacks during the night of 8-9 May the British were defeated and suffered enormous casualties. A Times correspondent wrote that the British soldiers called the "Boris" point "the valley of death". The artillery duel continued until 9 May but due to heavy casualties the British had to abandon all attacks. They lost 12,000 killed, wounded and captured of which more than 2,250 were buried by the Bulgarian defenders. The losses of the Ninth Pleven Infantry Division were 2,000 of whom 900 died from disease and wounds. Vladimir Vazov was promoted to Major-General. Just as an additional information General Vazov is the brother of one of the most famous Bulgarian novelists Ivan Vazov.
Im from Russia and i didnt known about this history. This song is pure epic. Im always inspired by stories about how people selflessly fought against superior forces. Eternal memory to all veterans of the First World War. ( sorry for my English)
Thanks! It is fact that in new bulgarian history Bulgaria and Germany were together in the same alliance, let us now support each other again and not make the old mistakes!
Let us remember Doiran! Let it never happen again! Glory to the Bulgarian defenders and real respect to their enemies (British, French, and Greeks) that fought and died then. Charging trenches lines after so many failed attempts requires a lot of strength and courage! The Bulgarian soldiers buried with their own hands the bodies (2500) of their own foes after the battle.
I will say this being the Bulgarian people are strong fighters in which I say deserve my respect sincerely an American.The Bulgarian people's will to fight were also a key part of the Ottoman Empires death line in the 1st Balkan war and before in their war of independence.
The outcome of that war was the best situation Bulgaria has ever been since the liberation, but our greedy Tsar Ferdinand decided to ruin it all by immediately attacking the Serbian-Greek alliance
@@podlodialgilap3490 I would do the same in his spot, Greece and Serbia were nowhere close to matching Bulgaria's army and they lied to us so they deserved to be destroyed. Romania and Turkey joining was unexpected and if they didn't join Bulgaria would've won
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR GREATER SONGS! It is so upbeat and formulates an adrenaline rush when I listened, such a great masterpiece! Sabaton, best band 10/10!
Dо you know that during the battles at Doiran, the legendary Swiss Louis-Emil Eyer died in the ranks of the Bulgarian army. Louis-Emil Eyer was born in 1865 in Switzerland and came to Bulgaria at the invitation of the Bulgarian ruler to found, together with several other Swiss, the sports movement and sport education. When the Balkan wars and the First World War began, he volunteered at the front and became the commander of some of the toughest units in the Bulgarian army. He died at Doiran as a Bulgarian officer holding two crosses for bravery. In his honor there is a Bulgarian-Swiss society today, streets in Sofia, stadiums, and Bulgarian scientists in the Antarctic have named a peak in his honor in the Ellsworth Mountains. Greetings from Bulgaria! In our bulgarian hearts Switzerland will always be Louis-Emil Eyer. We call him the swiss with the bulgarian heart.
I may be British, and therefore the enemy in this song, but this makes me feel like I should be a proud Bulgarian, haha! Обичам те, България! (I hope that was the right way to say it? I'm still in the early stages of learning the language, whoops) Edit: and a happy (belated) Liberation Day to you guys!
As British born and bred I am so glad I heard this and read the story. So good to know there are fighters as good as we were (we aren't any more except Special Forces) who can fight for what they believe in against an invading army, and win.
🇧🇬 As a Bulgarian, I can't help but notice the greatness of this song. As a man whose army does not have a single captured flag in battle, I thank Sabaton and once again prove that they are the greatest titans in music. 🇧🇬
Yesterday was our National Day of Liberation. Proud Bulgarian here to thank you for the perfect sound again and eapecially this song! Today is a holiday for us - all your fans! Keep doing it!
Bulgarians treated the fallen enemy with respect, they berried the corpses. After the war during a victory parade the British were ordered to lower the flag for General Vladimir Vazov, the victor of Doiran. May all they rest in peace!
well, if you tried burrying all the guys that died on the westernfront or the russian fronts you would have no place left for everyone to fight. perhaps we should have done exactly that. the cause for the peacetreaty being that no nation could muster enough soldiers because of a sudden boom in the coffinindustry.
Thank you, Sabaton! Unfortunately, Bulgaria is going through a difficult moment in its history today, and this gesture from you is very valuable for us.
@@Sabaton Great song, story & lyrics Sabaton!! I guess if you need to defend yourselves against the big bully countries, then war can be condoned. Although, if all of the masses worldwide 🌎 would respond with resistance to all nations militaries, Hell No! I will not join, fight or take lives ever & not support political propaganda's/corporatacracies, then there would never a war period. The global masses can be quite formidable & unstoppable if everyone with a good heart unites as one! If no one on earth "civilians" will never, ever support the national elites evil system, then it will fail & they're demise will come much quicker.. The global masses must unite as one people if corruption & evil is to be stopped globally! Great song though for the reality we live with everyday Sabaton!

@Eddie Wrathchild Macedonia was never serbian land, the serbian black hand occupied it during the balkan wars and later on again between the two world wars... educate your self little bit search VMORO history.
@Eddie Wrathchild nope. You should.
@Eddie Wrathchild Изглежда, че не си чувал за Берлинския Конгрес и как е разделил България. Такъв си. Като всичките други сръбски " историци ".
Fun fact: The bulgarian army at Doiran was pretty pissed at general Vladimir Vazov, for making them dig trenches, and build bunkers for 6 months in the hot summer, instead of relaxing. The underground tunnels and bunkers they dug, were bigger than today's Sofia metro. In the end, it turned out to be the right call - the british shot more than 150 thousand artillery shells and lots of poison gas. Only 7 people died, because they lost their way, the rest were completely unharmed. When the british aproached the trenches they were expecting to find just bodies, but instead the whole 9-th Pleven division started pushing them back. After the war, when general Vladimir Vazov became mayor of Sofia, women would carry food to his office in gratitude for saving their sons and husbands - only 700 casualties after a battle like that.
It must have sucked if you were one of the 7 who died just because you were lost and then finding out the rest of the people were unharmed
@@tpacejr It would be pretty hard to find out that only seven people died if you were part of the said seven tho...

As the people say: 'more sweat in the training = less blood in the battle' (повече пот в тренировката = по-малко кръв в боя)
Finally, someone acknowledged that my country exists and did something in WW1. WW1 video games like Battlefield 1 completely ignore the fact that Bulgaria took part in WW1, and WW1 documentaries I've seen make it sound like WW1 was just Germany against everyone else with maybe Austria-Hungary mentioned here and there. After not hearing a single song about Bulgaria in Sabaton's last WW1 album, I thought that they too will completely ignore the fact that my country took part in the Great War, but they didn't and this makes me happy. This album as whole is phenomenal, great job Sabaton, and thank you for making a song about Bulgaria.
If you want a video game featuring smaller WW1 factions, I'd suggest Verdun and Tannenberg, with the latter including Bulgaria and Romania.
@@ivobakardzhiev339 If you can actually find a populated server that is. Verdun usually sees about 50-140 players on the EU servers when I check and I'm given to the understanding that Tannenberg has even fewer active players at any given time. But yeah their good WW1 FPS games, if a bit limited by the aimed starting scope of the code and aging graphics.
Guten Tag, my country became the symbol of evil after ww2.
@@ivobakardzhiev339 Already have Tannenberg. It's a good game, but sadly it has very few players and I mostly find myself fighting bots. I also have Verdun, but it has a similar problem.
Well, my country had an even bigger role but is almost as forgotten in the west as Bulgaria, if not as much, than at least a bit less cos we did start the whole thing.... Still, i remember Bulgarias involvement in WW1 brother, so dont worry, at least us Serbs remember 😉
Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸🇧🇬🇷🇸🇧🇬🇷🇸
Speaking as a Brit, I didn't know about this battle.
Having looked it up, wow. They absolutely smashed us. I respect it.
I had to look it up too - occurred three times. Battle of Doiran (1916,1917,1918).
At least not as bad as the 12 or so battles of the Isonzo river between Italy and Austira-Hungary

@@-hystoria1338 first of all, pretty interesting you say we don't exsist, following by you saying that we betrayed our friends, as an "unexisted country". Second of all, saying that Romania is "part of Hungary" is the equivalent of saying Canada is part of Russia or sum. The only land you fellas owned was Transylvania and that's it (with Romanian majority in it but nevermind) (yes I can prove we were majority in there). And last but not least, "betrayed our friends", how? When? I've heard so many times how we changed the side in ww2, but do you even know why we did that? I'll let you find out by telling you some key words, Ion Antonescu, Russians coming over, Communists coming at power, Fascists falling. Don't talk about history if you don't know it
Im in tears, my dad was HUGE fan of yours, but he sadly passed away 3 months ago because of cancer. I'm sure he is somewhere up there enjoying what you just did there, a masterpiece! Thank you very much, Sabaton for remembering our fallen ones and our heroes. BULGARIA WILL PREVAIL, amen.

One of my favourite facts of WW1 is that over the course of the war, it's estimated that Bulgaria (whose 1915 population was 4,930,151) mobilised about 1,200,000 men; That's _a quarter of their population!_ They also mobilised quick, they started on September 1915, and in under a month they had 616,680 soldiers.
22% of the total population.
We weren't called "The Prussia of the Balkans", without a reason. Our neigbours saw that and decided to unite and neutralize their collective enemy tho...
Do not forget that Serbia lost that amout of population in that same war
Yeah bulgarians did war crimes too...

as a Greek, I am proud for my neighbours up north. we may have our differences but we have shown we can work together if we set them aside
I'm from Serbia and even though we fought against Bulgaria in WW1, HUGE respect for their fight at Doiran, it is really heroic
In my home town Vidin, we have unique monument of victory like no other in Europe. The dying grenadier, even tho he is a winner, he is grieving for the bothers he slayed during the Serbo - Bulgarian war. Respect brother!
While the saying "war without hate" is often incorrectly attributed to Erwin Rommel, it seems to be a far more eastern concept. We've been at war for centuries, and every eastern European nation has ruled over some other eastern European nation in the past, so no one really hates anyone. I'm sure I have family who did some pretty horrific things to Poles, and yet, as a Russian, I can walk down any street in Krakow, Gdansk, or Warsaw, wearing a Russian army uniform, and no one will care. Well, they might be a bit confused, but no more than anyone would be to see a foreign soldier in uniform in their country

@@vaeldrnero6251 pretty much that was the reason why we lost
@@vaeldrnero6251 Why do you think that Germany was incompetent during world war one?
Respect to Bulgaria from Canada. Not many would have held out like you guys did
1917 year : Over 330,000 British, French and Serbs attacked the Bulgarian positions on the front near Doiran. The ninth infantry Pleven division of General Vladimir Vazov fought in the most difficult section. At the decisive moment, the Bulgarians rose in a knife attack ... and won. Another interesting fact is that the Bulgarian army has never lost a battle flag.
Massive respect for Sabaton for representing one of the greatest battles in history. Glory to the Bulgarian soldiers who defended Bulgarian soil and the honor of Europe! Long live Bulgaria and long be the memory of her soldiers who gave the British their biggest defeat in history!

@@deece1482 Been to war museums around UK. Could feel only sympathy and respect for the british soldiers, as well. Cheers bro! For a better world.
Unfortunatly to you, at the same time on Dobro Polje you were facing the unpatient Serbs, so Doiran battle didn't have any significant influence on the frontline and war overall.
Rastko Nosović Mate. The Serbian win at Dobro Pole had nothing to do with the Serbs and everything to do with the incompetence of the german high command which refused to give an order for counter attack.
The same goes for Doyran.When Bulgaria joined WW2 Serbia was completely annexed, and the Bulgarian push into Greece was very successful. The only reason Bulgaria didn’t completely take out Greece and Serbia is because th Germans wanted to leave one more front open so the brits and French would have to send more troops to the Balkans, this weakening them in the west.
Furthermore, Serbs and French outnumbered Bulgarians 5 to 1 at Dobro Pole.
@@vaeldrnero6251 Yeah, sure. Serbs didn't fight, they were at the skiing tour.

One of them died at the Bulgarian - Serbian war from the same period that the song describes. He was at the United States of America when the war broke out, but answered the call of duty and came back to fight and defend his motherland. He was shot and killed near our western border, fighting Serbian troops. (No hard feelings for the Serbians)

Thank you for this song! Here are some facts about the Battle of Doiran:
The battle for a breakthrough in the Bulgarian positions began on 22 April and continued intermittently until 9 May 1917. The assault began with a bitter four-day artillery barrage in which the British fired about 100,000 shells. As a result, the earthworks and some wooden structures in the front positions were destroyed. The Bulgarians also opened fire from the batteries between Vardar and Doiran. General Vladimir Vazov ordered fire day and night on the Allied positions. The initial several-hour struggle between the British and Bulgarian batteries was followed by a one-hour Bulgarian counter-barrage in which 10,000 shells were fired.
The British infantry began its attack on the night of 24-25 April - 12 companies attacked the Bulgarian 2nd Brigade and after a bloody fight managed to take the "Nerezov", "Knyaz Boris" and "Pazardzhik" positions. After a Bulgarian counter-attack the British were repulsed with heavy casualties and by 8 pm had retreated. The British assaults on the right and central fronts were also repulsed with heavy casualties after help from the Bulgarian artillery.
The British attacks in the next two days were defeated by constant Bulgarian fire and counter-attacks. Due to this fire the British withdrew to their initial positions on 27 April, the Bulgarians immediately started to reconstruct the destroyed fortifications.
Due to criticism by their high command, the British made new attempts at a breakthrough. On 8 May, after a long artillery barrage, they began another attack. The main assault started at 9 pm with five waves of British troops attacking the Bulgarian positions. After four attacks during the night of 8-9 May the British were defeated and suffered enormous casualties. A Times correspondent wrote that the British soldiers called the "Boris" point "the valley of death".
The artillery duel continued until 9 May but due to heavy casualties the British had to abandon all attacks. They lost 12,000 killed, wounded and captured of which more than 2,250 were buried by the Bulgarian defenders. The losses of the Ninth Pleven Infantry Division were 2,000 of whom 900 died from disease and wounds.
Vladimir Vazov was promoted to Major-General.
Just as an additional information General Vazov is the brother of one of the most famous Bulgarian novelists Ivan Vazov.
Great to see Bulgaria get some recognition for once and with a bloody good song no less.
Im from Russia and i didnt known about this history. This song is pure epic. Im always inspired by stories about how people selflessly fought against superior forces. Eternal memory to all veterans of the First World War. ( sorry for my English)
Now its ukraine defending selflessly against superior forces. Tell Putin to stop.
Dude google battle for Doiran there is a lot to know even the scale was great.
слава Русия !
@@0Abels0 ok, i will tell him when i see him
@@0Abels0 stop chugging soy you baby
respect to Bulgaria from Germany our only competent ally in ww1
🇧🇬🇩🇪
Yea and "replayed" us in kind when your government requested during Treaty of Bucharest (1918) for North Dobrudja to be given to the Romanians.
Thanks! It is fact that in new bulgarian history Bulgaria and Germany were together in the same alliance, let us now support each other again and not make the old mistakes!
At least we keep our promises! Our army was starving in order for our land to feed our allies who were making stupid mistakes.
@@Pisky_84 The only stupid mistake we made was to choose Germany ... twice.
@@Владимир-й7н2шhey, they didn't send troops or materiel to aid Germany at all (at Barbarossa), they got off easy compared to Hungary or Romania
Let us remember Doiran! Let it never happen again! Glory to the Bulgarian defenders and real respect to their enemies (British, French, and Greeks) that fought and died then. Charging trenches lines after so many failed attempts requires a lot of strength and courage! The Bulgarian soldiers buried with their own hands the bodies (2500) of their own foes after the battle.
I will say this being the Bulgarian people are strong fighters in which I say deserve my respect sincerely an American.The Bulgarian people's will to fight were also a key part of the Ottoman Empires death line in the 1st Balkan war and before in their war of independence.
The outcome of that war was the best situation Bulgaria has ever been since the liberation, but our greedy Tsar Ferdinand decided to ruin it all by immediately attacking the Serbian-Greek alliance
@@podlodialgilap3490 I would do the same in his spot, Greece and Serbia were nowhere close to matching Bulgaria's army and they lied to us so they deserved to be destroyed. Romania and Turkey joining was unexpected and if they didn't join Bulgaria would've won
As an English man I have nothing but respect for these Bulgarian badasses.
Благодарим, заповядайте пак с мир.
@@oGeorgi Sorry but I can't read that.
Thank you very much, you’re welcome to come back here again
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR GREATER SONGS! It is so upbeat and formulates an adrenaline rush when I listened, such a great masterpiece! Sabaton, best band 10/10!
eh, its good but in my opinion they have many better, this one dose not flow quite like many other do.
@@blackdeath4eternity Yeah, I get where you are coming from, but it just hits those moments in music I personally like, we all have preferences
@@Hu55ar indeed. :)
Amazing song! I am proud to be a Bulgarian! Because of our warriors’ sacrifice we exist. We must never forget.Respect!

Slava rodu i bratji Bugarima!
Respect Bulgaria from Switzerland
🇨🇭🩶🇧🇬
Dо you know that during the battles at Doiran, the legendary Swiss Louis-Emil Eyer died in the ranks of the Bulgarian army. Louis-Emil Eyer was born in 1865 in Switzerland and came to Bulgaria at the invitation of the Bulgarian ruler to found, together with several other Swiss, the sports movement and sport education. When the Balkan wars and the First World War began, he volunteered at the front and became the commander of some of the toughest units in the Bulgarian army. He died at Doiran as a Bulgarian officer holding two crosses for bravery. In his honor there is a Bulgarian-Swiss society today, streets in Sofia, stadiums, and Bulgarian scientists in the Antarctic have named a peak in his honor in the Ellsworth Mountains.
Greetings from Bulgaria! In our bulgarian hearts Switzerland will always be Louis-Emil Eyer. We call him the swiss with the bulgarian heart.
I may be British, and therefore the enemy in this song, but this makes me feel like I should be a proud Bulgarian, haha! Обичам те, България! (I hope that was the right way to say it? I'm still in the early stages of learning the language, whoops)
Edit: and a happy (belated) Liberation Day to you guys!
Thank you!
Greetings from Bulgaria! The enemy were some British from about century ago, you are our friend.
❤️❤️🇧🇬🇧🇬🇬🇧🇬🇧
Highly appreciate your words! Thank you very much!
Your Bulgarian is spot on! :)
Lot's of love from Bulgaria :) 🇧🇬❤🇬🇧
I wish more British people think the way you do, Kirsty :)
Bulgaria, hands down, has won my utmost respect!
As British born and bred I am so glad I heard this and read the story. So good to know there are fighters as good as we were (we aren't any more except Special Forces) who can fight for what they believe in against an invading army, and win.
To all fallen heros for our Motherland.Thank you for what we are today! ДА ЖИВЕЕ БЪЛГАРИЯ!🇧🇬
🇧🇬
As a Bulgarian, I can't help but notice the greatness of this song. As a man whose army does not have a single captured flag in battle, I thank Sabaton and once again prove that they are the greatest titans in music. 🇧🇬
The bulgarian heroes from Doiran deserve this song! Thank You, Sabaton!
Yesterday was our National Day of Liberation. Proud Bulgarian here to thank you for the perfect sound again and eapecially this song! Today is a holiday for us - all your fans! Keep doing it!
❤️❤️❤️
The words of one of the commanders to his soldiers: Not a step back, behind us is Bulgaria
Ама колко хубаво произнасят "Вазов" и "Дойран" ! Респект , Сабатон !
Well, their main singer is swedish-something, so thats probably why!
Bulgarians treated the fallen enemy with respect, they berried the corpses. After the war during a victory parade the British were ordered to lower the flag for General Vladimir Vazov, the victor of Doiran. May all they rest in peace!
Gen. Vladimir Vazov...
Ah the Vazovs. Maybe the greatest family we ever had.
It's Vladimir Vazor. Ivan is his brother....
well, if you tried burrying all the guys that died on the westernfront or the russian fronts you would have no place left for everyone to fight.
perhaps we should have done exactly that. the cause for the peacetreaty being that no nation could muster enough soldiers because of a sudden boom in the coffinindustry.
@@Divine_Evil thanks man, I know it's Vladimir, but often say Ivan because you know...you hear it more often
Greetings to Bulgaria from Poland!
Greetings.
Thank you, Sabaton! Unfortunately, Bulgaria is going through a difficult moment in its history today, and this gesture from you is very valuable for us.
It's our privilege Kristian
@@Sabaton your music's biggest chad
@@Sabaton Great song, story & lyrics Sabaton!!
I guess if you need to defend yourselves against the big bully countries, then war can be condoned. Although, if all of the masses worldwide 🌎 would respond with resistance to all nations militaries, Hell No! I will not join, fight or take lives ever & not support political propaganda's/corporatacracies, then there would never a war period. The global masses can be quite formidable & unstoppable if everyone with a good heart unites as one! If no one on earth "civilians" will never, ever support the national elites evil system, then it will fail & they're demise will come much quicker.. The global masses must unite as one people if corruption & evil is to be stopped globally! Great song though for the reality we live with everyday Sabaton!
From an American friend,
we got ur back! If the bigger man wants war, then war they’ll get!
When has Bulgaria NOT had a difficult moment?
Greetings from Mexico Bulgarian brothers, keep on warriors! 🇲🇽🖤🇧🇬
Cheers bro, hope you get rid of the drug lords screwing you and become the great nation you deserve to be 🇧🇬 🖤🇲🇽
Thank you Sabaton - with love from Bulgaria!!!
We will never surrender, will never forget!

You guys made me cry, a song about my country, i love it. Sending all the love from Bulgaria!

Same brotha 🥲
Да живее България! СЪ НАМИ БОГ!🇧🇬🦁🇧🇬 Thanks Sabaton!
БЪЛГАРИЯ ЖИВЕЕ!!!СЛАВА УКРАИНЕ!!!!!
