    for those who dont know the Song is about The story of the Chasseurs Ardennais, whose emblem is the wild boar. A small Belgian unit of soldiers who were supposed to defend the borders and hold their ground along the K-W Line in May 1940. When the German armies, which included Rommel’s Ghost Division, approached the unit, they were supposed to retreat but due to communication failure the order never reached them. Instead they honoured their original orders, which were to defend the border at all cost. They fought so bravely and on such a large front, that they tricked the axis into believing that they were facing a force much larger than 40 rifles strong. When finally they were captured and their captors asked them -”where are the others?” they simply laughed and answered. -”There are no others, we are all!”.
    The song gets its title from their motto Resiste Et Mords, in English, Resist and Bite.

    For those interested in the full story behind this song:
    At the Belgian Ardennes border, Rommel had chosen a little valley with a single bridge as a crossing point for the entire panzer push. Guarding it was a single company of infantry, the "chasseurs d'ardennes" (ardennes hunters) of about 60 men. This might sounds ridiculous, but at this point in time hope was still that Germany would back off OR attack at the much more fortified positions at the meuze. Nobody really expected them to come trough the ardennes (as the french will confirm..)
    Their orders were to delay any Germans crossing the bridge until other forces could be redeployed. Needless to say, nobody took an entire panzer regiment into account. When Germans scouts on motorcycles crossed the bridge, everybody was so surprised they just let them ride on untill they even rode right by the company HQ. Seeing Germans passing by, the company commander falsly believed their position had already been overrun and he fled. Severed from all communications, the 60 or so chasseurs engaged the incomming Regiment and actually held them up for 2 hours fighting and another 2 when Rommel halted the advance, refusing to believe the then captured soldiers who said their were only 60 Belgians (-KIA's) present. Because who would be so stupid to engage a regiment with a company? It had to be an ambush of some sort....it wasn't
    So in total they held up the German crossing for 4 hours, simply because they didn't recieve an order to retreat.
    Last fun fact: In Belgian army officer training, this scenario is still played as a wargame excercise on the exact same location. Nobody in our training ever came close to a realistic 4 hour delay.

    This reminds me so much of a Greek /German fight during WW2. In the battle of the Forts, a Greek soldier named Dimitrios Itsios stayed behind to defend their lines with just two soldiers to help him. They alone caused 300 casualties to the Axis and once they were captured the commander asked 'Where is the battalion that we fought?' and Dimitrios Itsios said ' It's us, just us.' then the German commander said 'Well done soldier. You lived up to your ancestors' reputation.' Dimitrios responed 'I just did my duty' and then the commander said 'Yeah, and I must do mine as well.' and he shot Dimitrios Itsios in the head, killing him instantly of course. Later some German and Italian soldiers took photos with the Dimitrios's corpse as a... trophy.

      In my opinion, the Belgians often get overlooked as a regional power in Europe. Let's be honest, Belgium isn't going to be winning offensive wars against most of its neighbours. But invading Belgium is nearly suicidal if you don't have a strong navy to do so. And I doubt you're going to be overpowering the British Navy whom are allied to Belgium. Long story short.

    I retired from the Belgian Army in 2011 after 36 years of service. I served in Chasseur Ardennais (ChA) combat units for 7 years and kept wearing their green beret for 16 more years while serving in other appointments. I started up the Chasseurs Ardennais Regimental Museum in their present garrison of Marche-en-Famenne in 1995. I wish to thank Sabaton for this song dedicated to the brave men who served under the green beret of the ChA long before I did. (The first ChA units were created in 1933 and by May 1940, when the Nazi invasion started, they were 35.000 in an Army some 600.000 men strong). The green beret was adopted shortly after the creation of the first ChA units and on it, the soldiers wore a small metallic insignia representing a Wild Boar's head. The adopted the battle cry Resist and Bite !. The green of the beret represented the green of the pine trees, of which a large part of the Ardennes forests consist of. The Bild Boar is a very tough animal. It is generally peaceful if you leave it in peace, but if you attack it, you better don't miss, for if you only wound it, it will take care of you and only stop when it has finished you off.Now, let me set a few things right : the ChA had been formed and trained to fight in small units (Platoon or company) along the narrow roads of the Ardennes forest in Southern Belgium. A company was between 150 and 200 men strong, a platoon was 45 men strong, very close to the 40 referred to by Sabaton.While originally, the Belgian General staff intended to use the ChA to block the enemy advance, changes in Belgian defence policy were followed by the decision to use them for delaying action in the Ardennes and, after only a resistance of 24 hours, to withdraw them behind stronger positions, first behind the river Meuse, then behind the KW fortified line where the nazi invasion was supposed to be stopped with the help of the French Armies.On the 10th of May, most units of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ChA Regiments did exactly that : they stopped the German forces for some time and then withdrew in good order. Unfortunately, at Bodange at Company of the 1st Regiment and at Chabrehez, a company of the 3rd got trapped by units belonging to Panzer divisions under command, respectively of German Generals Guderian and Rommel, from there the reference to Rommel. These two companies, which were understrength, for they had sent detachments to other places blocked the enemy advance outnumered one to ten or even more. After finally having overcome their resistance in the evening of that first day of the invasion of Belgium, the German commandes saluted the bravery of the green berets.What was left of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments joined the 4th, 5th and 6th Regiments and, togenther with the ChA Artillery Regiment, the ChA motorcycle battalion and a few smaller units wearing the green beret, took their fair share of the fighting but, after 18 days, the Belgian Army was forced to surrender. While most divisions of the Belgian Army had lost most of their cohesion on the day of surrender (28 May 1940), the 1st and 2nd ChA divisions (respectively consisting of 1st, 2nd, 3rd Regiment and 4th, 5th, 6th Regiments) still were considered as able to fight on, but were ordered to stop fighting by the general staff.Under the German occupation, many a Chasseur Ardennais who had escaped from capture after the surrender turned to resistance movements. In September 1944, when crossing the Belgian border to liberate the country, many American soldiers were surprised to see resistance fighters who guided them wearing the gree beret.On the other hand, the story of the British commandos adopting the green beret as a homage to the ChA is just a legend without any historical grounds. Of course, in the post war ChA units (a few were raised again after the war and there stil is a small ChA battalion of 450 men nowadays), all soldiers were very proud of that story, but recent studies once and for all established that this was only a legend spread by a ChA veteran who had fled to Britain after the Belgian surrender and who was parachuted back in Belgium by the British secret services a few months later. The man was lucky enough to survive several very dangerous missions and all younger generations of ChA soldiers have the greatest respect for what he did, but the story of all commando units wearing a green beret in memory of the ChA is wrong.If you want to know more, of the great story of the Chasseurs Ardennais, visit their Regimental Museum at their barracks at Marche-en-Famenne in Belgium. They'll be proud and glad to guide you around.Resist and biteAn ugly and mean old Wild Boar.

My life was miserable, I lived alone in a small isolated place at the top of a hill, always nauseated and dizzy ALL THE FK TIME, and with this unbearable buzzing and ringing in my left ear. Life was hell, couldn't sleep, when I was in bed and exhausted falled asleep in 10 minutes I was full awake because of the noise in my left ear and that was the rest for the night. Many times I thought of killing myself because I couldn't take it anymore. Some people told me at hat time that i should have removed my
    auditory nerve otherwise I would go insane.
    One night I was browsing TH-cam and came across Sabaton. And these lyrics. And something rebelled inside me. I wasn't particullary afraid of dying but I liked living, so I decided that I would resist till the very end, until insanity or lack of sleep would kill me. But I would give fight every day even with my bare teeth until nothing else remained, that I would not give up no matter what happened. This figure, of fighting until nothing else remained, of biting the enemy if necessary changed my life. Two years after this "epiphany" I begun to retook control of my hearing and balance.

    I know these guys were Belgian but their story remind me of the Italian Folgore division in El Elemein:
    Totally outnumbered, with no anti tank weapons, they were told by Rommel himself to hold back the allies for a day.
    By using crude handmade anti tank grenades, they managed to stop the British tanks for 3 whole days.

    "And forced to tell the truth, we will tell them with a smile, "We are all. We were all."
    This line references how the Wehrmacht thought these men numbered 200 at the lowest but due to their guerrilla tactics they were in fact only "40 rifles strong".

    It wasn't until hearing this song and doing research that I learned that the German forces were held up in any substantial way in their initial attack. To know now that such brave men fought and died to hold back the Germans is incredible, and it makes me wonder if the so-called miracle at Dunkirk would have been possible without the resistance met in the Ardennes and without that if the island of Great Britain would have lasted as long as it did. I've long struggled with finding a point in speaking my mind, participating in society, and even living. However stories like this where resisting evil was enough to make a difference gives me hope.

    After doing a bit of studying on the meaning behind this song (I'd heard talk of the heroism of Belgium's armed forces) this just proves that size means shit.
    For those unfamiliar with the meaning behind this song, it is a nod of respect to the Chasseurs Ardennais. Their emblem is a Wild boar ("The boar against the eagle" obviously referencing the eagle seen in German insignia/icons vs the Belgian boar). While other units in the region were told to retreat, the Chasseur Ardennais never received word to fall back. As such, they dug in and fought back against one of the most powerful armed forces the world had ever seen up to that point. 40 men versus armored cars, tanks and overwhelming infantry. Considering how ferocious their defense had been, the Germans had believed the defensive forces were far greater in number.
    When German forces finally overwhelmed the Belgian defenders, they were (understandably) shocked to find so few men holding the line, they asked "Where are the rest of your men?", the Chasseurs laughed and told them flat out "There are no others- we are all!".
    Edit: Resist and Bite was the Chasseurs Ardennais motto/battlecry. When the pin of the Boar shows up ( 2:15 approximately) You can see the cry ("Resiste Et Mords") engraved in their pin.

I've showed this song to my grand father, he don't realy like heavy metal. But when I tell him what this song is about he start crying and listen it again. This song is a great hommage to all thoses guys who fight for belgium and for freedom. This is why I realy love Sabaton, great songs and great text. This is a great song in the memories of all the people who died during this battle and during all the WWII.

      My great grandfather was also in WWII dough he fought against Belgium and is probably one of the men who bombed your great grandfather.
      All I wanna say really is I'm sorry for what happen.
