Christmas Truce is a must. You have to pay attention all the way through the credits for the guest vocalist’s name. No Bullets Fly (animated story version) is great too.
@corsa180 I concur! Night Witches *animated story video* Nikki, for Sabaton, I recommend reading the description b4 the song, to give you context for their songs. It will not ruin your reaction! Sabaton write really anthemic, catchy songs about true, military events and people from around the world. One of their most epic, is in Swedish, En Livstid I Krig (a lifetime of war). Check out the live in Gothenburg. Add to your poll, Beast In Black, song, Blind and Frozen, original video.
Next Sabaton song? its a tough one, but No Bullets Fly (animated story video) is an absolute must (Use the animated story video rather than just the song itself, it gives a lot more context)
A stand alone single released in 2019. The graphics are so good because it was made in conjunction with Wargaming , the company that makes the World of Warships game. The Capt. of the boat the band went out on is the son of the last survivor of the Bismarck. The name painted on that boat is Primo Victoria, which is the name of the first Sabaton album released, the title track is about D-day at Normandy. The Bismarck had sunk the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, only 3 of 1418 survived. You ask for another top Sabaton song, Christmas Truce music video is one. But if you want to wait for Christmas on that, go with one of the animated story videos for Night Witches, No Bullets Fly, The Red Baron, Lady of the Dark, or The First Soldier.
You already got some really good suggestions, I strongly recommend you to check out 'En livstid i krig' live from the Great Tour in Gothenburg. You will be blown away, I can promise that. Its in Swedish by the way, so dont forget to put on the subtitles.
great reaction, more please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 100 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly Night witches Lady of the dark Red baron first soldier Epic ORIGINAL videos. you just saw Bismark, about the sinking of the ship. Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.
The "Bismarck" , and his sister ship "Tirpitz", were the 2 largest battleships ever built in Europe (250 meters long, 36 meters wide, and displacing more than 50.000 tones) and they were the pride of the kriegsmarine (Germany's militari navy) during ww2. The "Bismarck" set sail in May 1941 to reach the Atlantic and destroy merchant convoys, but he was intercepted by the British and during a brief fight, destroyed the former flagship of the British fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, the worldwide famous battlecruiser "Hood", by penetrating her armor and detonating her aft main ammunition magazine and killing all 1400 members of her crew except for 3 men, and heavily damaged the battleship "Prince of Wales". This enraged the prime minister Winston Churcil who ordered all his ships in the Atlantic to abandon their operations and destroy the Bismarck. In total more than 40 ships participated to the hunt, making it the biggest naval hunt in history. Meanwhile Bismarck, who had received a hit during the first battle, was leaking fuel and was trying to reach the French port of Saint Nazaire, in occupied France, for repair. After 3 days of playing cat and mouse with the British, Bismarck was attacked by airplanes launched from the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal" and hit by a torpedo in the stern, which jammed his rudders during evasive manuvers, meaning that he was forced to sail in circles, just a few miles away from reaching air cover. In the end battleships "King George V" and "Rodney", along side the heavy cruisers "Norfolk" and "Dorsedshire" fought the already doomed battleship and, during the following 90 minutes completely destroyed it. However, despite having all his guns destroyed, and having received more than 400 hits (out of the 2800 shells that the British had fired at it) his armor was still mostly intact and the ship was still afloat. So the british launched another 4 torpedoes and he disappeared beneath the waves. After inspection of the wreck however it had been discovered that the torpedoes did relatively small damage thanks to the battleship's extensive underwater protection, and some survivors stated that Bismarck had been scuttled by his crew (although it should be noted that historians believe that it would have eventually sunk due to the damage received). Of the 2200 men that served on it only 114 survived
Great reaction!🤘 This is one of Sabatons best songs, so I understand why you like it better. (I have already so many favourite songs by them that I stopped counting... 😄) More Sabaton, please! Any song works for me! 😃
I'm so jelous about your wooden background. It looks sooo cozy. :) Great reaction too! Also: Tommys guitar solos are the best. *chefs kiss* The Sabaton Song I suggest is The Last Stand. Really unique and interesting story and an amazing song.
Great reaction, you should also follow up and watch "Sabaton History Channel" to get a better understanding on the history behind the song. so many good songs to choose from -"Christmas Truce " is a must but i'd wait till we get closer to xmass. "Soldier of Heaven" / "The Last Stand" / "Great War" / "Swedish Pagans" live at Wacken open air 2019 , just to name a few others.
First battle scene is Bismarck damaging the Prince of Wales followed by the Swordfish biplane dropping the famous torpedo damaging Bismarck's rudder. Second battle scene is Bismarck and Rodney exchanging fire and Dorsetshire launching torpedoes. King George V was heavily involved in the battle too but is not portrayed here even though he was the flagship after the sinking of the Hood.
Think you should check out Sabaton histori (an own channel here on YT where they talk more about the songs that you can check out after listening to the song) and they have some songs that are animated stories. You can also turn on subtitles on many of their songs and select the language and you will see the lyrics at the same time. "Night Witches" "No Bullets Fly" "Christmas Truce" but also check out Tommy who is a guitarist as he has interpreted many artists and also remade some of Sabaton's songs with Disney music for them (he releases a new song every Friday and last year he released a song every day before Christmas) but you can also search for Amarathe (Elize Ryd and Alissa saved a performance for NW before Floor joined the band and Alissa is in Arch Enemy so both are in Swedish bands now) some other music as amarathe makes more light music while Arch Enemy make a little harder if you want to make a longer video, 82 is all the way that Sabaton wrote and amaranth he has his own interpretation and has performed live with sabaton with that song as well and Tommy has also interpreted it with so 1 song 4 variations
For a bit of context, the Bismarck was one of two Bismarck class battle ships which were the largest battleships in the world at the time of their completion. On the Bismarck's first and only battle mission she accidently pissed off the entire British Navy and went down after a several day fight. His brother ship (not sister cause Germany), the Tirpitz, was used as a strategic token until his eventual "sinking". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck
Hello Nikki ... I am a 64 -year -old man from Germany. Name me Dieter. I happened to see your reaction channel on TH-cam. Sabaton and Bismarck. I think you should know something. It is my favorite song because my family brought me back. To understand that you need to know the following. I never had a nice Christmas, because it was always a mourning day for my mother. She lost her two brothers in war. I only know my uncle from old photos. They were just 18 + 19 years old. My mother said that the G-Stapo got her out of the beds with a high fever with gun violence and with the words: "You will be exhausted your sickness in the military." So were you Nazis? When the youngest of them came around, my grandparents were only said: "Strictly secret and missed at sea" until today, that was all. Today I know why. The oldest was shot on Christmas Eve 1943 by a low -flyer in Oslo Norway. It is located there in the hero cemetery with a view of the fjord. My mother died 3 years ago and I was alone. Through my late friends Bernd "Nossi" Noske and Bruno Frenzel and Horst Stachelhaus from the German rock band Birth Control, I already stood in front of and behind the stage with the biggest of the bigest. Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Udo Dirkschneider (Accept), Lemmy, and yes I also know Doro Pesch. This music got me out of my deep hole. My mother let her look for her all her life over the Red Cross and others ... without result. I was pretty mousy and so I went on TH-cam to pull something metal in to get strength again. So I came to Sabaton and Bismarck. This video didn't let go of me anymore. I had previously searched online and found the cemetery of my older uncle in Oslo, but the younger one was still missing. This video was like a finger of God and I started my search again. What was impossible in GDR times now became true. I found the name of my uncle on the crewlist of the Bismarck. For this I am grateful to the guys from Sabaton forever. After 80 years they completed my family and gave my uncle a worthy obituary. I will never be able to visit him, but I know that at a depth of 4600 meters he found the last rest with his comrades and all those who fought there to the bitter end. As Sabaton says: "Connected by iron and blood." Friend and enemy, because in the end we are all the same, we are only humans. Greetings from Germany, I hope Google translated correctly, because English is not my thing because German is already difficult enough. My late friends of Birth Control also greet. Her Mega Hit Gamma Ray from 1971 unforgettable and in 1982 you already knew what to expect. "The Day of Doom is coming" Have fun ! th-cam.com/video/YWT6k64XBl0/w-d-xo.html And th-cam.com/video/9HeSDYnk9vw/w-d-xo.html Plus LIVE th-cam.com/video/oryimaDUmNI/w-d-xo.html
Nikki, most of their songs have subtitles… it’s maybe more easy… next should be: Christmas Truce by Sabaton. And after that try 2 very emotional ones (where you really need subtitles to get the whole message). „1916“ & „En Livstid I Krig“… live
You should look the youtube page of Tommy Johanson (the guitarist) He does covers,every friday a new one. He is amazing😊 And his other band Majestica is amazing to😊
You definitely asked a tough question it's hard to pick a song from them when they have so many good ones. Twilight of the thunder god they did an Amon Amarth cover or inmate 4859 which is a true story. Fantastic job on this I have heard of the Bismark but didn't know much about it
So this song pretty much sums it up. Bismarck was a German Warship and it was never supposed to sink. It was one of the strongest Battleships during WW2. As Sabaton says, “It rules the Seas” as it did!
Did you notice the pocket watch?. The youg sailor was given the pocket watch by his captain he swam to the enemy handing himself in to capture. The man at the dock who hired the boat to Sabaton has the pocket watch probably passed down by his father?.
So more history facts, Bismarck was not the only "Super Battleships," Tirpitz and Bismarck were the same class of Battleships (Bismarck Class). Both Bismarck and Tirpitz were over 50,000 tons when loaded. Then the Japanese Imperial Navy in the Pacific had their own Super Battleships called, " Yamato," and "Musashi." But those two Battleships were even larger then the Bismarck and Tirpitz, like little over 72,000 tons when loaded and also with the largest Naval Guns (18.1 inches) that were ever used in the South Pacific in World War II. Then the US Navy was about to create their own Super Battleship to counter Yamato and Musashi, with Montana Class Battleships, the first Montana Class Battleship would have been called, "USS Montana." But both Yamato and Musashi got destroyed, and WWII ended, The US Navy scrapped the project. Facts about Hitler and Kriegsmarine's plans for the Battleships. Before Bismarck and Tirpitz were planned to be built, the Kriegsmarine's planned to create bigger and more powerful battleships that were bigger than the Bismarck and the Tirpitz, with bigger naval guns like 20 inch Naval Guns.
Nikki, there are so many Sabaton songs you can react to. You cannot go wrong with the following: Animated stories: Night Witches, No bullets Fly, Lady of the dark. Almost movie like - Christmas Truce, 1916.
Hey Nikki. No worries. You're new to Sabaton & they're a lot to digest. Yeah, mixing History & great music is their thing. For your nxt songs (there's a lot of material out there)...As an American, I'd recommend WW1 songs: The Lost Battalion, 82nd All the Way, Devil Dogs & Hellfighters. "The Balad of Bull" is a great (slower) WW2 song abt an Australian Soldier in the Pacific who saved the lives of a # of American Soldiers. "Dreadnought" is a WW1 Navy song abt the Battle of Juttland. "The Last Stand" is a banger abt the Sack of Rome in 1527. "Blood of Bannockburn" is a banger abt the English/Scottish Civil War. "Wolfpack" is another good WW2 (Battle of the Atlantic) song abt the British Royal Navy & German Submarines. "The Unkillable Solder" "The First Soldier" & "1916" are great. PLENTY of material out there. Enjoy!
BTW, every couple of seconds the visuals tell another piece of the story of Bismarck's first and only sortie. Like, even when their boat is flown over by a flying boat, yeah, that happened, the Brits nearly attacked a different boat after a recon flight mistook it for the Bismarck. Even such details as the ship flipping over and the turrets falling off... yeah, although the Bismarck was found on the bottom upright, the turrets were at a distance, so at some point it flipped over.
Sabaton has many remarkable songs. Here's some of the fauvourits songs. All about real war events. Please also check out: Lady of the dark, Nighwitches, No bullets fly, defence of Moscow, and The Red baron. The thing with Sabaton is that they want to show whats happened. And allways without pic a side on the conflict or country. Amazing band and allways captivating true storys... Love from Stockholm Sweden/ J
I noticed that you mentioned Dragonforce in your Ghost Division reaction. And seemed to like the speed metal sound in Headbanger by BabyMetal. You should listen to Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flame. It has the most speed metal guitaring that I have heard.
You should check out Christmas truce sometime but maybe for next month. For another group you have not reacted to yet I think it is time to see Ayreon and the perfect introduction to them is "The day the world breaks down", you might recognise some of the singers.
Next Song? Christmas Truce. A real world war story. Hannes Van Dahl, Sabaton's drumer is married to Floor Jansen. By the way. Listen to the credits of the video. And pay attention to the credits. Maybe you'll recognized the voice 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Me? Getting upset over you having an opinion or disliking or not heard of any favourite artists,bands,songs of mine,or missing anything in the video/performance? NEVER! (And if people come at me,trying to trigger me,i just tell them straight to respect your channel and stop the foolishness) You know by now that its Floors hubby on the drums right? Always look for the blonde hair and beard in videos or live performances,as Sabaton has had replacements there over the years. I think Hannes has been there over 2 eras at least with the band,if i remember right. If i mistace his history with another drummer in another band,i apologize. I might be thinking of Evergrey. (Close friends and a really underrated metal band from Sweden,just like Sabaton) Sabaton - Ghost Division live 😏(Oh,and i just heard you mention the drummer at the end lol)
This video and the song primo Victoria video where done by a small video game company the gaming company was looking for a way to introduce the ship Bismarck into its game they asked sabaton if they could come up with a song and in turn they would help with the production of the music video the gaming company later did the video for primo Victoria and gave sabaton their own premium tank in the game... The gaming company is Warr gaming and the games are world of tanks and warships enjoy
Please react to more songs of Sabaton..Primo Victoria, The Last Stand, Soldier Of Heaven, No Bullets Fly, 1916 & Christmas Truce...are some of my personal favorites
Christmas Truce is a must. You have to pay attention all the way through the credits for the guest vocalist’s name.
No Bullets Fly (animated story version) is great too.
Agree… Sabaton - Christmas Truce would be a great next song for you to check out.
Absolutely yes to both of these suggestions. Also, Night Witches is a fascinating history lesson, also.
I personally prefer „Father“ but „Christmas Truce“ would fit into the season now…
@corsa180 I concur! Night Witches *animated story video*
Nikki, for Sabaton, I recommend reading the description b4 the song, to give you context for their songs. It will not ruin your reaction!
Sabaton write really anthemic, catchy songs about true, military events and people from around the world. One of their most epic, is in Swedish, En Livstid I Krig (a lifetime of war). Check out the live in Gothenburg.
Add to your poll, Beast In Black, song, Blind and Frozen, original video.
Bring tissues for both of those, though, because they hit the feels hard.
Nikki, the drummer is Floor Jensen's husband Hannes Van Dahl!!!
Yeah,that's right😊😊
Next Sabaton song? its a tough one, but No Bullets Fly (animated story video) is an absolute must
(Use the animated story video rather than just the song itself, it gives a lot more context)
A stand alone single released in 2019. The graphics are so good because it was made in conjunction with Wargaming , the company that makes the World of Warships game. The Capt. of the boat the band went out on is the son of the last survivor of the Bismarck. The name painted on that boat is Primo Victoria, which is the name of the first Sabaton album released, the title track is about D-day at Normandy.
The Bismarck had sunk the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, only 3 of 1418 survived.
You ask for another top Sabaton song, Christmas Truce music video is one. But if you want to wait for Christmas on that, go with one of the animated story videos for Night Witches, No Bullets Fly, The Red Baron, Lady of the Dark, or The First Soldier.
I love these guys. History Metal!!!
Christmas Truce or No Bullets Fly (animated story version) would be my recommendation for next Sabaton reaction.
You already got some really good suggestions, I strongly recommend you to check out 'En livstid i krig' live from the Great Tour in Gothenburg. You will be blown away, I can promise that.
Its in Swedish by the way, so dont forget to put on the subtitles.
i second that, great suggestion
great reaction, more please.
Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music.

Wuhuuu! =D just now i wear my Sabaton shirt from the last tour
This song is great! Sabaton sings real songs about real events and they are very addictive!
The drummer is Flour Jansens of Nightwish’s Husband
Internet rumor is that the swinging legs seen briefly as the band climbs the steps belong to said Floor Jansen.
The "Bismarck" , and his sister ship "Tirpitz", were the 2 largest battleships ever built in Europe (250 meters long, 36 meters wide, and displacing more than 50.000 tones) and they were the pride of the kriegsmarine (Germany's militari navy) during ww2.

Great reaction!🤘 This is one of Sabatons best songs, so I understand why you like it better. (I have already so many favourite songs by them that I stopped counting... 😄) More Sabaton, please! Any song works for me! 😃
Recomend this music of Sabaton:
40-1 (Live In Poland)
Defence In Moscow
I'm so jelous about your wooden background. It looks sooo cozy. :) Great reaction too!
Also: Tommys guitar solos are the best. *chefs kiss*
The Sabaton Song I suggest is The Last Stand. Really unique and interesting story and an amazing song.
Great reaction, you should also follow up and watch "Sabaton History Channel" to get a better understanding on the history behind the song. so many good songs to choose from -"Christmas Truce " is a must but i'd wait till we get closer to xmass.
"Soldier of Heaven" / "The Last Stand" / "Great War" / "Swedish Pagans" live at Wacken open air 2019 , just to name a few others.
First battle scene is Bismarck damaging the Prince of Wales followed by the Swordfish biplane dropping the famous torpedo damaging Bismarck's rudder.
Second battle scene is Bismarck and Rodney exchanging fire and Dorsetshire launching torpedoes.
King George V was heavily involved in the battle too but is not portrayed here even though he was the flagship after the sinking of the Hood.
WELCOME TO SABATON FAMILY
Think you should check out Sabaton histori (an own channel here on YT where they talk more about the songs that you can check out after listening to the song) and they have some songs that are animated stories. You can also turn on subtitles on many of their songs and select the language and you will see the lyrics at the same time.
"Night Witches" "No Bullets Fly" "Christmas Truce"
but also check out Tommy who is a guitarist as he has interpreted many artists and also remade some of Sabaton's songs with Disney music for them (he releases a new song every Friday and last year he released a song every day before Christmas)
but you can also search for Amarathe (Elize Ryd and Alissa saved a performance for NW before Floor joined the band and Alissa is in Arch Enemy so both are in Swedish bands now) some other music as amarathe makes more light music while Arch Enemy make a little harder
if you want to make a longer video, 82 is all the way that Sabaton wrote and amaranth he has his own interpretation and has performed live with sabaton with that song as well and Tommy has also interpreted it with so 1 song 4 variations
👍SABATON is Epic Metal!! 🖖❤
Love your channel as a current subscriber ! 🎉 I Have enjoyed your reviews and can make some band suggestions in the future. As I have quite a few. 😎🎸

Great reaction, Nikki! 🤘🎸
Note: Thy guy wit the pocket-clock at the beginning was the son of the one who was rescued at last from the water by a british seaman.
Great reaction❤❤
Thank you, and thanks for watching! 💛
the captains compass is an important link in the video also the ship is located over where Bismark sank for real.
You have to listen to Christmas Truce and En Livstid I Krig
Hello Nikki ...
I am a 64 -year -old man from Germany. Name me Dieter. I happened to see your reaction channel on TH-cam. Sabaton and Bismarck. I think you should know something. It is my favorite song because my family brought me back. To understand that you need to know the following. I never had a nice Christmas, because it was always a mourning day for my mother. She lost her two brothers in war. I only know my uncle from old photos. They were just 18 + 19 years old. My mother said that the G-Stapo got her out of the beds with a high fever with gun violence and with the words: "You will be exhausted your sickness in the military." So were you Nazis? When the youngest of them came around, my grandparents were only said: "Strictly secret and missed at sea" until today, that was all. Today I know why. The oldest was shot on Christmas Eve 1943 by a low -flyer in Oslo Norway. It is located there in the hero cemetery with a view of the fjord. My mother died 3 years ago and I was alone. Through my late friends Bernd "Nossi" Noske and Bruno Frenzel and Horst Stachelhaus from the German rock band Birth Control, I already stood in front of and behind the stage with the biggest of the bigest. Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Udo Dirkschneider (Accept), Lemmy, and yes I also know Doro Pesch. This music got me out of my deep hole. My mother let her look for her all her life over the Red Cross and others ... without result. I was pretty mousy and so I went on TH-cam to pull something metal in to get strength again. So I came to Sabaton and Bismarck. This video didn't let go of me anymore. I had previously searched online and found the cemetery of my older uncle in Oslo, but the younger one was still missing. This video was like a finger of God and I started my search again. What was impossible in GDR times now became true. I found the name of my uncle on the crewlist of the Bismarck. For this I am grateful to the guys from Sabaton forever. After 80 years they completed my family and gave my uncle a worthy obituary.

As Sabaton says: "Connected by iron and blood." Friend and enemy, because in the end we are all the same, we are only humans.
Greetings from Germany, I hope Google translated correctly, because English is not my thing because German is already difficult enough. My late friends of Birth Control also greet. Her Mega Hit Gamma Ray from 1971 unforgettable and in 1982 you already knew what to expect. "The Day of Doom is coming"
Have fun !
th-cam.com/video/YWT6k64XBl0/w-d-xo.html And th-cam.com/video/9HeSDYnk9vw/w-d-xo.html Plus LIVE th-cam.com/video/oryimaDUmNI/w-d-xo.html
Nikki, most of their songs have subtitles… it’s maybe more easy… next should be: Christmas Truce by Sabaton. And after that try 2 very emotional ones (where you really need subtitles to get the whole message). „1916“ & „En Livstid I Krig“… live
no bullets fly animated. nightwitches. red baron. attack of the dead man. solider of heaven. caroleans prayer. there you go, some more good ones.
You should look the youtube page of Tommy Johanson (the guitarist)
He does covers,every friday a new one.
He is amazing😊
And his other band Majestica is amazing to😊
You definitely asked a tough question it's hard to pick a song from them when they have so many good ones. Twilight of the thunder god they did an Amon Amarth cover or inmate 4859 which is a true story. Fantastic job on this I have heard of the Bismark but didn't know much about it
So this song pretty much sums it up. Bismarck was a German Warship and it was never supposed to sink. It was one of the strongest Battleships during WW2. As Sabaton says, “It rules the Seas” as it did!
Did you notice the pocket watch?. The youg sailor was given the pocket watch by his captain he swam to the enemy handing himself in to capture. The man at the dock who hired the boat to Sabaton has the pocket watch probably passed down by his father?.
So more history facts, Bismarck was not the only "Super Battleships," Tirpitz and Bismarck were the same class of Battleships (Bismarck Class). Both Bismarck and Tirpitz were over 50,000 tons when loaded. Then the Japanese Imperial Navy in the Pacific had their own Super Battleships called, " Yamato," and "Musashi." But those two Battleships were even larger then the Bismarck and Tirpitz, like little over 72,000 tons when loaded and also with the largest Naval Guns (18.1 inches) that were ever used in the South Pacific in World War II. Then the US Navy was about to create their own Super Battleship to counter Yamato and Musashi, with Montana Class Battleships, the first Montana Class Battleship would have been called, "USS Montana." But both Yamato and Musashi got destroyed, and WWII ended, The US Navy scrapped the project.
Facts about Hitler and Kriegsmarine's plans for the Battleships. Before Bismarck and Tirpitz were planned to be built, the Kriegsmarine's planned to create bigger and more powerful battleships that were bigger than the Bismarck and the Tirpitz, with bigger naval guns like 20 inch Naval Guns.
The Sabaton history channel is linked at the end of each song on TH-cam that tells the history behind each song.
Nikki, there are so many Sabaton songs you can react to. You cannot go wrong with the following: Animated stories: Night Witches, No bullets Fly, Lady of the dark. Almost movie like - Christmas Truce, 1916.
Hey Nikki. No worries. You're new to Sabaton & they're a lot to digest. Yeah, mixing History & great music is their thing. For your nxt songs (there's a lot of material out there)...As an American, I'd recommend WW1 songs: The Lost Battalion, 82nd All the Way, Devil Dogs & Hellfighters. "The Balad of Bull" is a great (slower) WW2 song abt an Australian Soldier in the Pacific who saved the lives of a # of American Soldiers. "Dreadnought" is a WW1 Navy song abt the Battle of Juttland. "The Last Stand" is a banger abt the Sack of Rome in 1527. "Blood of Bannockburn" is a banger abt the English/Scottish Civil War. "Wolfpack" is another good WW2 (Battle of the Atlantic) song abt the British Royal Navy & German Submarines. "The Unkillable Solder" "The First Soldier" & "1916" are great. PLENTY of material out there. Enjoy!
BTW, every couple of seconds the visuals tell another piece of the story of Bismarck's first and only sortie. Like, even when their boat is flown over by a flying boat, yeah, that happened, the Brits nearly attacked a different boat after a recon flight mistook it for the Bismarck. Even such details as the ship flipping over and the turrets falling off... yeah, although the Bismarck was found on the bottom upright, the turrets were at a distance, so at some point it flipped over.
Sabaton has many remarkable songs.
Here's some of the fauvourits songs. All about real war events.
Please also check out:
Lady of the dark, Nighwitches, No bullets fly, defence of Moscow, and The Red baron.
The thing with Sabaton is that they want to show whats happened. And allways without pic a side on the conflict or country.
Amazing band and allways captivating true storys...
Love from Stockholm Sweden/ J
I noticed that you mentioned Dragonforce in your Ghost Division reaction. And seemed to like the speed metal sound in Headbanger by BabyMetal. You should listen to Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flame. It has the most speed metal guitaring that I have heard.
You should check out Christmas truce sometime but maybe for next month.
For another group you have not reacted to yet I think it is time to see Ayreon and the perfect introduction to them is "The day the world breaks down", you might recognise some of the singers.
No bullets fly animated Story video 👌
Next Song? Christmas Truce. A real world war story. Hannes Van Dahl, Sabaton's drumer is married to Floor Jansen. By the way. Listen to the credits of the video. And pay attention to the credits. Maybe you'll recognized the voice 🤘🤘🤘🤘
sabaton lady of the dark animated story video
lady of the Dark animated is amazing too
A LADY GOES TO WAAAR
Lady of the Dark Animinated Story by Sabaton you will like
Have you heard Unleash The Archers? I would start with Awakening.🤘🎸
More Sabaton eh? "Night Witches", A Ghost in the Trenches!
Me? Getting upset over you having an opinion or disliking or not heard of any favourite artists,bands,songs of mine,or missing anything in the video/performance? NEVER! (And if people come at me,trying to trigger me,i just tell them straight to respect your channel and stop the foolishness) You know by now that its Floors hubby on the drums right? Always look for the blonde hair and beard in videos or live performances,as Sabaton has had replacements there over the years. I think Hannes has been there over 2 eras at least with the band,if i remember right. If i mistace his history with another drummer in another band,i apologize. I might be thinking of Evergrey. (Close friends and a really underrated metal band from Sweden,just like Sabaton)
Sabaton - Ghost Division live 😏(Oh,and i just heard you mention the drummer at the end lol)
Look up the amazing and beautiful voice of Emma KoK with Andrea Rieu.
This video and the song primo Victoria video where done by a small video game company the gaming company was looking for a way to introduce the ship Bismarck into its game they asked sabaton if they could come up with a song and in turn they would help with the production of the music video the gaming company later did the video for primo Victoria and gave sabaton their own premium tank in the game...
The gaming company is Warr gaming and the games are world of tanks and warships enjoy
Please react to more songs of Sabaton..Primo Victoria, The Last Stand, Soldier Of Heaven, No Bullets Fly, 1916 & Christmas Truce...are some of my personal favorites
