Initially the French did not trust the fighting skills of the US troops and kept them as reserve. During the offensive of spring 1918, when the French-British lines broke, the only corps between the Germans and Paris were the US. The role of the US corps in stopping the 1918 offensive has been minimized by both French and British historians for a long time.

"The role of the US corps in stopping the 1918 offensive has been minimized by both French and British historians for a long time." Of course it has. Hell, the French were so fucking uppity and prideful after WW2 that De Gaulle refused to allow the Brits in the victory parade in Paris, and when a British unit was seen in the parade (that had served the Free French forces for years), he shut down the unit in a tantrum. And, he later tried to invade/annex Italian territory held by the US after the armistice, during which his commanders (with his blessing) threatened to attack the American troops if they got in the way (you know, troops of the nation that is one of the main reasons his country even existed at that point). In fact, this was nowhere near the first time De Gaulle had threatened or even ordered his troops to attack US troops over his imperialist desires. The fact he did so while his army used American weapons and equipment is even more ironic and pathetic. De Gaulle was a pathetic, wannabe Napoleon. And he desperately downplayed the role that the US, British, and French Resistance played in liberating France while claiming all the credit for himself and "his" army (that was entirely fed, supplied, housed, and transported by Americans and Brits for the majority of the war). Truman and Roosevelt didn't bitch slap that petulant man-child nearly as much as they should have, and they did it more than a few times.
This battle has become a key component in the lore of the United States Marine Corps. German commanders ordered an advance on Marigny and Lucy through Belleau Wood as part of a major offensive, in which other German troops would cross the Marne River. The commander of the Marine Brigade, Army General James Harbord, countermanding a French order to dig trenches further to the rear, ordered the Marines to "hold where they stand". With bayonets, the Marines dug shallow fighting positions from which they could shoot from the prone position. In the afternoon of 3 June, German infantry attacked the Marine positions through the grain fields with bayonets fixed. The Marines waited until the Germans were within 100 yd (91 m) before opening deadly rifle fire which mowed down waves of German infantry and forced the survivors to retreat into the woods. Having suffered heavy casualties, the Germans dug in along a defensive line from Hill 204, just east of Vaux, to Le Thiolet on the Paris-Metz Highway and northward through Belleau Wood to Torcy. After Marines were repeatedly urged to turn back by retreating French forces, Marine Captain Lloyd W. Williams of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines uttered the now-famous retort "Retreat? Hell, we just got here." Williams' battalion commander, Major Frederic Wise, later claimed to have said the famous words. One of the most famous quotations in Marine Corps history came during the initial step-off for the battle when First Sergeant Dan Daly, a recipient of two Medals of Honor who had served in the Philippines, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Peking, and Vera Cruz, prompted his men of the 73rd Machine Gun Company forward with the words: "Come on, you sons of bitches. Do you want to live forever?" The first waves of Marines-advancing in well-disciplined lines-were slaughtered; Major Berry was wounded in the forearm during the advance. On his right, the Marines of Major Sibley's 3/6 Battalion swept into the southern end of Belleau Wood and encountered heavy machine gun fire, sharpshooters, and barbed wire. Marines and German infantrymen were soon engaged in hand-to-hand fighting. The casualties sustained on this day were the highest in Marine Corps history up to that time. Some 31 officers and 1,056 men of the Marine brigade were casualties. However, the Marines now had a foothold in Belleau Wood. A German private, whose company had 30 men left out of 120, wrote "We have Americans opposite us who are terribly reckless fellows." Overall, the woods were attacked by the Marines a total of six times before they could successfully expel the Germans. They fought off parts of five divisions of Germans, often reduced to using only their bayonets or fists in hand-to-hand combat. On 26 June, the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, under command of Major Maurice E. Shearer, supported by two companies of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion and the 15th Company of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, made an attack on Belleau Wood, which finally cleared that forest of Germans. On that day, Major Shearer submitted a report simply stating, "Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely", ending one of the bloodiest and most ferocious battles U.S. forces would fight in the war. Multiple publications of the United States Marine Corps claim that the nickname "Teufel Hunden"-"Devil Dogs" in English-was bestowed upon the Marines by German soldiers at the Battle of Belleau Wood in June 1918. However, on April 14, 1918, six weeks before the battle began, hundreds of U.S. newspapers ran a fanciful wire service report that stated "the Teutons have handed the sea soldiers... They call the American scrappers 'teufel hunden,' which in English means 'devil dogs'." Journalist H. L. Mencken wrote in 1921 that the term was the invention of an American war correspondent. Robert V. Aquilina of the United States Marine Corps History Division has stated that while there is no evidence of German use of the term, it has nevertheless become entrenched in Marine Corps lore.
You can be deaf and still enjoy a heavy metal concert because it's a wave of sound that hits your whole body. The SEALs, Rangers, and Marine Force Recon, are all Spec Ops. They have particular things that they are trained hard for. The Marines don't concentrate they aren't as good at something as the Specialists are, but they are better at everything else. I believe there is a rotation of the services guarding the White House so no one group has all the glory.
My Dad was a Marine in Vietnam. Unfortunately, he never really talked about it much. He was a big guy and the training was brutal. It was the only time he weight 175 pounds.
I’ve observed 1st hand the training the marines go through and believe me when I say most other forces wouldn’t handle it just observing the training looked like literal hell it explains just why they are so resilient in combat but those that succeed in completing it are awesome and strong
The Marines were the first branch of the US military founded, in 1775 I believe, in a tavern. They were immediately effective in WWI because they were already using small infantry tactics like fire and move. This is because they were expected to storm beaches with limited to no support. Aggressiveness is drilled into them. My Marine buddy told about a communication intercepted in Afghanistan, in which the fighters were warned not to fire on the Marines because they wouldn’t stop chasing them until they or you were dead.
Army and Navy are both older than the Marine Corps…. But only by a few months. The Army was founded in June 1775 and the Navy in October 1775. The Marine Corps was founded on November 10th, 1775 in Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, PA. About the World War I part, yes and no. It was definitely the most professional branch at the time and better trained. The Marine Corps opened its first Recruit Depot for modern Boot Camp in 1915, in Parris Island, SC. This taught formation marching and discipline, but unfortunately much of it was left over ideas from the 19th Century as far as combat ideals. It was the Marines adoption of the French and British tactics, but keeping the focus on small unit tactics, that helped them to excel. Additionally it really had to do a lot with the Marine Corps emphasis on rifle marksmanship that really allowed Marines to shine. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Commandant decided to really push the importance of marksmanship. Marines were finally allowed to have more time at the range and started competing in long range marksmanship competition. This focus helped to both increase both the amount of Sharpshooter and Expert Marksman the Corps had, and then later allow Marines to be more efficient in combat. The initial push of Germans at the Battle of Belleau Wood, pushing towards the Marines, were surprised at the accuracy at range that they were being hit from; as they regarded Americans as cowboys and dumb farmers who didn’t know how to fight.
@@Minotaur-ey2lg thank you. Also, I hope you don't think I was attempting to top you or correct you either. Military history, especially the Marine Corps is a passion of mine. I have a long lineage of military service in my family. I was an Army brat (Dad and Step Dad), my uncle's served in Vietnam (one Army, one Marine Corps), and I myself served in the Corps. I even have a great uncle who was a Captain with 1st Bn, 6th Marines (Regiment) during the Battle of Belleau Wood. He was a Captain (Keller E Rockey) who received a Navy Cross for his leadership. 1/6 was pivotal at taking Hill 142, drawing the end of operations in the area for the Germans, but the unit experienced 90% casualties. He would later go on to be the Commanding General of the 5th Marine Division in WWII, leading them at Iwo Jima.
7:01 The marines are just another branch of the military like the Army, Navy, Air Force and etc, while the navy seals, rangers and green berets are elite and special forces units. The marine equivalent to those would be the marine raider regiment. Those forces are better trained but they are meant to pursue very specific tasks (like sabotage, black propaganda, high profile assassinations and infiltration) in small quantities. Despite the marines having less training, they are deployed in much higher quantities for larger operations, like in Operation Desert Storm when thousands upon thousands of marines helped to storm Kuwait City, while spec ops were mostly used to get behind iraqi lines to sabotage and strike precise targets
I love the metal community! You get everyone from all worlds and this video showed that. Men, women, children, elderly, even the deaf and blind! None of that matters. Be you!
Velieve the phrase you were looking for at the end of the video is "though many are born, few are made". And absolutely loved your reaction to this. Been followkng you for a few weeks now and im loving more and more of your videos. Just seeing the respect. Love and appreciation on your face. Also know you have done reactions to peyton parrish so im just wanting you to know he recently dropped a cover of Zombie by the cranbarries and bad wolves. Feel you would really enjoy it.
Best part of the songs story (during the 5 times attacked/repelled) the French was withdrawing due to the offensive and instructed the US forces to retreat as well. The marines response: “why? We just got here” they then proceeded to hold the line and afterwards began pushing relentlessly at the Germans. Although being stopped one or two times they pushed forwards occasionally being halted at worst but nevertheless took ground
US got heaven but here’s what said about Aussies and New Zealanders Erwin Rommel was the German fiel… His comment was about both Australian and New Zealand soldiers. “If I had to take hell, I would use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it.” And makes sense because Australia is hot like hell 😂
My great grandfather was at the battle. He had told my grandfather once a bit about about it. He did say howl and barked. Some did anyway. My grandfather had told my mom and she told me. My great grandfather was tough as iron man from what I was told. My grandfather was the same. He didn't speak much. He always has a mouth full of chew I remember. I don't talk much to people. My mom says I get it from my grandfather. Not wanting to talk to hardly anyone. Especially people I don't know. She would see me sitting in a room other people talking me sitting quiet like nobody exist. Said it reminded her of my grandfather her dad. Apparently my great grandfather was the same. Extremely quiet and he would sit quiet not wanting to talk to people. I guess I carried the family tradition.
Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly quoted at the battle of Belleau Woods, “Come on you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?!!” Capt Lloyd Williams also said, “Retreat? Hell! We just got here!!!”
The odd thing is in Louisiana we were taught some of the history of the Marines. The Barbary pirate wars wasn’t taught but I read ahead and learned about it which is where the shores of Tripoli comes in in the Marine Corps song.
Marines guard the White House and all overseas embassies. In terms of rankings the two top covert groups the US has are the Navy Seals and Army Delta Force. Delta pulls from the green berets which pull from the Rangers. Any soldier in the Army can apply to become a Ranger but they have certain requirements that have to be met first. Marines have been retooled to being closer to what they were intended for a quick strike at landing beaches. They have dropped the M1 battle tank as they aren't suitable for opening wave beach landings as an example. Having said all of that GO ARMY! Rock of the Marne!
As a marine, we are taught the propaganda of the corps. It's wavetops at best, and outright lies at the worst. It's a ton of interesting stories though, so worth looking into
Sabaton USA songs: 82nd All the Way, Screaming Eagles, Midway, The Lost Battalion, The Final Battle, No Bullets Fly, Hellfighters, To Hell and Back, Primo Victoria.
When I was 20 I had both the US Army and Marines fighting over me because of my size and test scores , the only problems is that I didn't know the difference and ended up joining the army...I should have been a marine but regrets.
The USMC guards the President because the Continental Army wanted to make Washington a King. They are the only service with "and other duties as the President directs." in their legal mission statement [also guard Embassies]. The final quote means more than you think - It is from General "Black Jack" Pershing and he had major issues with USMC. The earlier quote is attributed to Sgt Dan Daily at Belleu Wood when he lead his company over the top. Notice the officer casualties had been so bad that a Sergent was leading a company....
some of my relatives where in the core. i myself can't join with my disability but i have respect to the core and those who ruined that they better have a good reason they did it is all i got to say.
During the same battle as a 5th Marines approached the area one of their officers was informed by the French that they were retreating the lieutenant responded back without missing a beat Retreat hell we just got here that's the motto the 5th Marine 2nd battalion Retreat hell
The way to pronounce the German saying for devil dog was and I quote "toyful-hounden" what's the easiest way to pronounce in English and the closest thing to correct
If you want to hear more Sabaton songs that are connected to USA heres some: Hellfighters 82nd all the way Lost battalion To hell and back Midway Screaming eagles
I have reactions to all of those I believe. I knew they had songs about the USA l, this just seemed so fore front in my mind for some reason haha. If you are interested, here’s all my sabaton reactions. th-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu5q1wsUPdg0ddHg-Pgu5XiG.html
You should react to sabaton Live shows like night witches live and 40:1 live at Woodstock it will give you chills bc of the crowd plus red baron live :), keep up the good content!
Rangers and Marines are roughly equal in effectiveness. They're both made up of young men and women and the elite sections are sometimes referred to as the tip of the spear during a mission or campaign
That's the lore, but most historians agree that there is no evidence of that being true. If I remember right they can only find where a newspaper claimed that but no evidence of it being anything more than propaganda.
My only gripe with this song is that we are not soldiers. We are Marines, period. Soldiers are Army. Sailors are Navy. Airmen are Air Force. Coasties or Guardsmen are Coast Guard. National Guardsmen or National Guard are the National Guard. Otherwise, amazing song and my absolute favorite, don't care if it's a bias opinion. Thank you for doing this one sir. Edit- Yes, Marines guard the White House. A few other monikers Marines are known by besides Devil Dogs(most of us spell it Teufelhunden but the actual German phrase is Teufel Hunden); Jar Heads, Tip of the Spear, The President's Own. Marines have the ability to become Navy Seals but we also have MARSOC, & previously Recon Marine, but to my knowledge that is finishing being phased out for the MARSOC program, unless something has changed.
To me it feels like the marine solider thing might be a language thing. In Swedish, solider would be translated to soldat, and from everything I’ve heard, in the Swedish armed forces, no matter the branch you are a soldat. There are no individual labels for different branches. So to me, a Swede, soldier automatically get translated to a person serving in a combat role in an armed force. I suspect that’s what Sabaton experienced too, but I don’t know.
The line "Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?" is a direct quote, and that one line got the entire album tagged as being explicit because of the word "bitch"

The final quote means more than you think - It is from General "Black Jack" Pershing and he had major issues with USMC.
The earlier quote is attributed to Sgt Dan Daily at Belleu Wood when he lead his company over the top.
Notice the officer casualties had been so bad that a Sergent was leading a company....
Grandpa was a a Marine combat mechanic
The Warrior Song - Hard Corps by Sean householder / TWSP
some of my relatives where in the core. i myself can't join with my disability but i have respect to the core and those who ruined that they better have a good reason they did it is all i got to say.
During the same battle as a 5th Marines approached the area one of their officers was informed by the French that they were retreating the lieutenant responded back without missing a beat Retreat hell we just got here that's the motto the 5th Marine 2nd battalion Retreat hell
The deadlist thing in the world is a marine with his rifle
Some random Iraqi sniper who wiped out an entire battalion of them: hello there
The way to pronounce the German saying for devil dog was and I quote "toyful-hounden" what's the easiest way to pronounce in English and the closest thing to correct

Soldier of 3 armies too :D
@@whatitdodave one that you haven't reacted to is the last battle from the last stand album
The marines are normally first in and last out
My dad served as a marine in the Afghanistan war
If The Marines lost This Battle Germany Would've Taken Paris
if you wanna go hierarchy in the US military its US army- Marines- Rangers- Army Special Forces- Marine Recon- Navy Seal.
there are sub classes like Airborn and Air Assault and Delta force but that just nit picking
You should watch the sabaton history video for this song and do a reaction to it.
You should react to sabaton Live shows like night witches live and 40:1 live at Woodstock it will give you chills bc of the crowd plus red baron live :), keep up the good content!
Next time you react to Sabaton check out Long live the king
Rangers and Marines are roughly equal in effectiveness. They're both made up of young men and women and the elite sections are sometimes referred to as the tip of the spear during a mission or campaign
It is a great song, for a great branch. Typical, Swedes had to create their 2nd anthem ;) NATO brothers soon.
That's the lore, but most historians agree that there is no evidence of that being true. If I remember right they can only find where a newspaper claimed that but no evidence of it being anything more than propaganda.
The Music Video is good but I would say the Lyric Video was even better, might be worth watching separately
My only gripe with this song is that we are not soldiers. We are Marines, period. Soldiers are Army. Sailors are Navy. Airmen are Air Force. Coasties or Guardsmen are Coast Guard. National Guardsmen or National Guard are the National Guard.
Otherwise, amazing song and my absolute favorite, don't care if it's a bias opinion.
Thank you for doing this one sir.
Edit-
Yes, Marines guard the White House.
A few other monikers Marines are known by besides Devil Dogs(most of us spell it Teufelhunden but the actual German phrase is Teufel Hunden); Jar Heads, Tip of the Spear, The President's Own.
Marines have the ability to become Navy Seals but we also have MARSOC, & previously Recon Marine, but to my knowledge that is finishing being phased out for the MARSOC program, unless something has changed.
To me it feels like the marine solider thing might be a language thing.
In Swedish, solider would be translated to soldat, and from everything I’ve heard, in the Swedish armed forces, no matter the branch you are a soldat. There are no individual labels for different branches.
So to me, a Swede, soldier automatically get translated to a person serving in a combat role in an armed force. I suspect that’s what Sabaton experienced too, but I don’t know.
Gotta be honest but you should’ve watched either the fan made videos or the official one
