10:05 he’s not from Russia he’s from Prussia. It’s mostly the eastern part of modern Germany and bits of Poland. The song is saying ‘a man from Prussia’ he flew on the Russian and Eastern fronts.

also when you talk about human flight, brother Writght did their first real flight in 1903, von Richthofen was an ace in like 1917, thats crazy when you think about it
Don't forget about the Rheinprovinz though. The place I was born and still live was also part of Prussia, even if it is just a few km to the netherlands 🙂
When the Red Baron said "Aim for the man and don't miss" it was not just a hit your target but actually to aim for the pilot and kill him and not just aim for the plane. That was one of Manfred's main things. he always aimed to shoot at the pilot of the plane and take him out. Take out the plane and the pilot can survive to come back to face you again, take out the pilot and you cost the enemy both a pilot AND an aircraft. As for tactics and going higher, WW1 was where the term "Beware the hun in the sun" came from. One of the prime tactics was to get high and put the sun behind you and dive down on your target. The sun blinding them to be able to see you coming and the higher altitude puts you at an advantage in any air to air engagement.

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is called Sabaton, Jordon. They are a Swedish metal band that covers history in a neutral context. And Flor Jansen from Nightwish is married to a band member from Sabaton (a fun fact.) Prussia was one of the city-states that were unified under the Iron Chancellor Otto von Bismark (I think, but don't quote me on that.)
Yeah, depends on what time period you're talking about it in, but Prussia in this context is a city-state, it's named after an older country that would become Germany, Prussia, which held much of the land that is modern Germany and Poland
@@CrystallineFoxCFnot true Prussia during WWI was a kingdom under the German Empire and also the kings of Prussia were also the German emperors until 1918 when the empire was disvoled
@Northman-from-the-North He have a Czech citizenship. It's on video too when they shall play Far from the fame and he show his Czech passport, calling out people claiming he don't have a Czech citizenship.
Interesting how fast things develop. Apparently, The Red Baron only started to learn how to fly in October 1915 later dying in 1918 at just age 25...and planes themselves were only invented 12 years earlier (1903) than when he started flying.
Bloody April specifically refers to the Ententes largely successful air campaign during the battle of Arras which despite being successful still resulted in a loss of 245 planes over the course of five weeks as well as a loss of 319 pilots, 108 of which were taken as POWs, and as the video states Jasta 11 was responsible for 89 of those losses with Richtofen personally credited with 22 of the 89, now while all this may seem low, consider the next highest casualty rate for the RFC was the battle of the somme in 1916 at 576, over the course of 5 months
Lauren, thanks for introducing Jordan to Sabaton. Here are some more songs and videos he might like: Soldier of Heaven is really good. WW1 Sarajevo, The Price of a Mile, Fields of Verdun, Christmas Truce, 1916 cover of Motorhead, Race to the Sea, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Father, Attack of the Dead Men. They have two WW1 albums with even more great songs. For WW2, Try "No Bullets Fly," "To Hell and Back," "Primo Victoria," "Ghost Division," and really, any of their songs. Jordan mentioned that he didn't know much about the wars. It's easy to get them confused, especially with the scattered teaching about the wars. However, now that you have entered the Sabaton rabbit hole, as you listen to their songs, you will suddenly be able to know about lots of battles, and efforts that people made in these wars. You might find yourself at social occasions or parties, talking about WW1, and rattling off names and dates with no problem:) As Sabaton themselves admit, a video can't teach everything about an historic event. But they certainly open the door with their incredible music and storytelling. Also, check out their history channel.
A very fun reaction to this great and powerful song, thanks for this and I appreciate that you embrace the new things you learned here. I REALLY, REALLY recommend you to react to the Sabaton history episode to this song aswell, as it is a very good one (I love them all, but this kinda stands out ;) ) Greetings and much love from a 20 years Sabaton fan from Germany, keep these reactions going, the HUGE Sabaton army will repay you with MANY upvotes and comments ;)
A while age i saw a more in-depth history story around the red baron and back then the planes were nothing more then paper airplanes and a few wires holding it all together and that was about it. The pilots were what we today would call stunt men or daredevils and they would try and recruit anyone that was brave or crazy enough to try and fly them. The pilots that became good were feared in the sky and they wanted everyone to know who they were which is why if u look closely most planes have a unique emblem and overtime both sides knew who there flying aces were just by looking at the planes. 15:11 Your very close to getting it right. U having the high ground so to speak u can dictate how u want to start the fight but also its a massive advantage when it comes to energy conservation. As u might imagen these engines were not very powerful so doing a steep climb would slow u down and a slow target is a dead target. However when u dive down at an enemy they cant shoot back but also even if u miss u will still have full power and alot of extra speed which u can then climb up again trading speed for alltitude and now u are above the enemy again. Now a days the advantage is not as big but back then with those weak engines this tactic was a huge advantage.
White death history version, carolus rex live in stockholm and 1916 official music video for the new guy! That will show him what sabaton is. Also everyone should do wjite death history version, will shock every single one of you.
Quick rundown of the history of Prussia, if you are curious: 1237: territory formed along the banks of the Baltic Sea as a theocratic state (governed by religion) around modern-day NE Poland/SW Lithuania, under the State of the Teutonic Order (group of crusading Catholic Christians); 1525: Duchy of Prussia is formed (governed by a duke/duchess, second to a king/queen), still as a part of the State of the Teutonic Order with land area expanded somewhat into modern-day Poland, capital was Konigsberg (modern-day Kaliningrad); 1701: Kingdom of Prussia is formed, a German state with its capital moved to Berlin, became the driving force behind the German Unification movement which formed the country of Germany in 1866 and was the leading Germanic state until the end of WW1, land area was mostly modern-day Poland, Lithuania, east Germany and parts of West Germany; 1918: Free State of Prussia (Weimar Republic) is formed and in 1920 becomes a parliamentary democracy, still a part of Germany but has over 60% of Germany's land area and population, still the same land areas minus the Western Germany parts due to post-WW1 war sanctions; 1934: state is de facto abolished and loses its independence through "Gleichschaltung" ("coordination" of the process of Nazification), and although the state's 1920 constitution remains in effect, it's now under total control of Nazi Germany; 1947: an Allied declaration deems Prussia "a bearer of militarism and reaction" and the state is de jure (by law) abolished, in 1945 post- WW2, the Polish People's Republic and the Soviet Union absorbed almost all of Prussia and had almost all of its German inhabitants expelled by 1950
There is a theory that he continued to fight that plane because he wanted to kill himself because he was suffering from depression and btw "kaput" is german for broken
Y'all really need to react to the band 1914. They really capture the feel and horror that was The Great War (World War I). I'd recommend ...And a Cross Now Marks His Place, Stosstrupp 1917, The Hundred Days Offensive, and Don't Tread on Me (Harlem Hellfighters). They are Ukrainian band, so yeah, they are dealing with all that over there for the past 2 years.
The reason one side usually doesn't want to talk about the skilled or brave combatants of the opposing side is because they don't want you to see someone to find awe in. Or even someone who's just like you; human. This is highlighted amazingly well in the song Christmas Truce by Sabaton (also about WW1), and the aftermath of the truces around that Christmas. No Bullets Fly (again Sabaton) is another song that highlights this concept very well. After all, it gets difficult to kill someone that you when you start thinking about their families and their hopes and dreams in life. I assume you heard Russia because Prussia isn't as common to hear anymore. The brain sometimes autocorrects, which it can do when the first and last letter in a word are correct and the context of the sentece will clue you in on what word it SHOULD be.
Kinda interesting that you guys almost figured out one of the main tactics used in wwi and wwii dogfighting, called Boom and Zoom. Basically like you said, it’s easier to dive at your target from above, than it is to try and aim at someone from below. Also diving gives you speed to get away from the enemy if you don’t down them. Dogfights in the world wars were all about managing your energy, your kinetic energy and your potential energy. Climbing higher lets you “store” potential energy, and you can convert it to speed by diving.
History will remember him as a master of aiming and acrobatics. But his real self was very different. He was a tactician and a commander. His greatest value was in knowing when to attack and when to disengage, and teaching that to his pilots in his squadron. The real master of aiming and acrobatics was Werner Voss, who was also a friend and a competitor to Richthofen, until he was killed in his solo battle against 6 allied fighter aces.
Fun(?) Fact: Manfred von Richthofen shot down an adversary (Allied) pilot, then landed his own plane, to check to see if the pilot was alive and helped him. It wasn't a game of killing for Manfred, it was a sport. He didn't want to kill anyone, it was just the "thrill of the hunt". He also showed up to pay his respects to many Allied funerals. Another fun fact, the Allies gave him a funeral with honors. And a lot of the chatter (allegedly) was "wish he was on our side.".
The Central powers were not "bad" wwI started because a Serbian shot the heir to the austro Hungarian killing him and starting ww1 Germany joined the austrians their allies and Russia joined Serbia cause they were also slavs and eventually British empire and the USA joined on the Entene not allied powers and there you have wwI and later WW2
The Central Powers were 100% the 'bad guys'. Had it not been for Germany giving AH a blank cheque, it would not have escalated to the war that it became. Germany also violated the neutrality of multiple countries, Belgium being the main example, and AH actively wanted war by giving Serbia a list of demands that it could not fulfill.
@@TheMedicalDemon*cough cough* Austria-Hungary started it by halting a nationalist holiday in the unstable region of the balkans. This pissed off the extremists and led to the black hand (serbian terrorist group) assassinating the archduke. Germany was drawn in because they were allies to the Austrians. Learn your facts. The whole “its germany’s fault” is British and French propaganda from WW1
@@TheMedicalDemonnow you're just going off of propaganda. No one in WW1 were "the bad guys". It escalated because Serbian extremists assassinated an archduke of AH for stopping a nationalist holiday in the balkans. Nothing to do with Germany. It only escalated into war when the tension between Serbia and Austria-Hungary drew in their allies, AH being Germany and Serbia being Russia. The reason why people like you think that Germany was bad is because of the French and British propaganda that made them look like that. Plus, they were also technically the reason why Germany started WW2 due to them imposing heavy taxing on the people there which led to a great depression.
@@TheMedicalDemonSerbia Accepted all of the Austrian demands, except having their police conduct investigation inside Serbia, as that was considered a violation of sovereignity
If you notice on these planes that the machine guns sit behind the propeller while shooting. There is an ingenious invention called a Synchronization gear which makes sure that the bullets fired from the gun is synchronized with the propeller so that it shoots in between the blades as they are turning. On early planes that did not have Synchronization gear the propeller would get filled with bullet holes from the machine gun so I bet some pilots crashed themselves by destroying their propeller.
Welcome to the Sabaton Army Sabaton is a band from Sweden, so he doesn't try to have a German accent, but has a Swedish one, which is, however, similar to the more well-known German accent. The Red Baron is my favorite song and it's a great live song. I definitely recommend watching a live version. P.s. In World War I there aren't really the good guys and the bad guys, that's the problem when history is always written by the victors, who are of course the good guys and the losers are the bad guys, but it's not really black and white to look at this war
I just heard you talking about the tactics. Yes, I'm aware, that one can't know everything and not everybody is interested in history...but that was hilarious. In short: You really should do some reactions about the airwar of WWI and about WWI in general. You definitely have some questions there… 😎
1) He was from Prussia, a German state. Not from Russia. 2) "Aim for the man and don't miss him" isn't a ridiculous funny unnecessary advice. It was a VITAL advice. In those days the most successful method of bringing down an enemy fighter was to shoot directly at the pilot. They had no protection against bullets in their aircraft in those early days. So: Don't waste your ammunition by shooting at random parts of the enemy aircraft. Shoot directly at the pilot and win the fight quicky and with minimal ammunition consumption. You really should react to history videos about WWI air war and WWI in general, because you seem to have questions about the history of that conflict.
What I have heard and read there were plans on taking Richthofen off active duty because of his injuries and have him teaching and inspiring only on ground level and he couldn't accept that. Another thing I did read is that the Sopwith Camel attacked Richthofens, think it was his brother and affected by a bullet in his head he broke his own rule to not break off from the squadron. With both those stories in mind I think he did choose to die as a hero instead of being grounded and never be able to fly again. His last word "kaputt" can possibly refer to himself, that his spirit was broken.
Manfred von Richthofen did not come from Russia for those uneducated people from Chicago, he came from Prussia which is the old name for Germany. Manfred von Richthofen who was Known as the Red Baron as a British Military Historian the greatest Fighter Pilot ever and is the most famous and respected fighter pilot in the history of the world even by his enemies in WW1 and even today. Sabaton is from Sweden not Germany and they are the greatest band on the planet, they sing about true event's that happened in history from Romans and Vikings to the Falklands war in 1982 Between the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and those of Argentina who invaded British Territory. I don't think that War and what happened in WW1 is very funny especially to us British, Germans, French, Belgians, Australians, Canadians, New Zealander's, Indians from India, South African's, Italians, Serbian's etc etc. In the Battle of the Somme there was over 57,000 British casualties in one day, some towns and villages here in England had there entire population of young men completely wiped out in 4 hours. Villages and small Towns back here in England were left with females, children and the elderly but there men were dead. That is why countries outside the United States take the events of WW1 and WW2 very seriously and we remember those of the UK who served and died fighting for our Sovereignty, Democracy and Freedom including those of our Commonwealth, European and Australasia also Asian Allies. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
10:05 he’s not from Russia he’s from Prussia. It’s mostly the eastern part of modern Germany and bits of Poland. The song is saying ‘a man from Prussia’ he flew on the Russian and Eastern fronts. They’re not emphasizing an accent it’s a different word

Take out the plane and the pilot can survive to come back to face you again, take out the pilot and you cost the enemy both a pilot AND an aircraft.
As for tactics and going higher, WW1 was where the term "Beware the hun in the sun" came from. One of the prime tactics was to get high and put the sun behind you and dive down on your target. The sun blinding them to be able to see you coming and the higher altitude puts you at an advantage in any air to air engagement.
oh woah. thanks for that!

I think when the bridge start at around 3:00, the guitar sounds like a plane spinning in a dogfight.
Or maybe an enemy spinning out of control as it falls towards earth. That actually seems more apropos.
Kinda interesting that you guys almost figured out one of the main tactics used in wwi and wwii dogfighting, called Boom and Zoom.

@@TheMedicalDemon*cough cough* Austria-Hungary started it by halting a nationalist holiday in the unstable region of the balkans. This pissed off the extremists and led to the black hand (serbian terrorist group) assassinating the archduke. Germany was drawn in because they were allies to the Austrians. Learn your facts. The whole “its germany’s fault” is British and French propaganda from WW1
@@TheMedicalDemonnow you're just going off of propaganda. No one in WW1 were "the bad guys". It escalated because Serbian extremists assassinated an archduke of AH for stopping a nationalist holiday in the balkans. Nothing to do with Germany.
It only escalated into war when the tension between Serbia and Austria-Hungary drew in their allies, AH being Germany and Serbia being Russia.
The reason why people like you think that Germany was bad is because of the French and British propaganda that made them look like that. Plus, they were also technically the reason why Germany started WW2 due to them imposing heavy taxing on the people there which led to a great depression.
@@TheMedicalDemonSerbia Accepted all of the Austrian demands, except having their police conduct investigation inside Serbia, as that was considered a violation of sovereignity
If you notice on these planes that the machine guns sit behind the propeller while shooting. There is an ingenious invention called a Synchronization gear which makes sure that the bullets fired from the gun is synchronized with the propeller so that it shoots in between the blades as they are turning. On early planes that did not have Synchronization gear the propeller would get filled with bullet holes from the machine gun so I bet some pilots crashed themselves by destroying their propeller.
I definitely want you to react to bismarck
Welcome to the Sabaton Army Sabaton is a band from Sweden, so he doesn't try to have a German accent, but has a Swedish one, which is, however, similar to the more well-known German accent.
The Red Baron is my favorite song and it's a great live song. I definitely recommend watching a live version.
P.s. In World War I there aren't really the good guys and the bad guys, that's the problem when history is always written by the victors, who are of course the good guys and the losers are the bad guys, but it's not really black and white to look at this war
In those times they invented how you could shoot through propel - without shooting it as toothpicks. That woul be nasty for pilots...
I recommend letting him listen to the unkillable soldier
I just heard you talking about the tactics. Yes, I'm aware, that one can't know everything and not everybody is interested in history...but that was hilarious.
In short:
You really should do some reactions about the airwar of WWI and about WWI in general. You definitely have some questions there… 😎
You do realize he was part of the Central Powers right
lauren and nightwish... in hindsight, i shouldve guessed it. hit me like an epiphany...
1) He was from Prussia, a German state. Not from Russia.
2) "Aim for the man and don't miss him" isn't a ridiculous funny unnecessary advice. It was a VITAL advice. In those days the most successful method of bringing down an enemy fighter was to shoot directly at the pilot. They had no protection against bullets in their aircraft in those early days.
So: Don't waste your ammunition by shooting at random parts of the enemy aircraft. Shoot directly at the pilot and win the fight quicky and with minimal ammunition consumption.
You really should react to history videos about WWI air war and WWI in general, because you seem to have questions about the history of that conflict.
If you didn't react to no bullets fly, definitely should
They never show Snoopy!🤘🎸
Liked* Now quit being commercial and envision the future without the globalist agenda.
Germans were not the baddies in WW1 it was pretty much a war between two sides which were not good or evil either. It's a big difference to ww2
He is from prussen and fight first in russia.
Richthofen war ein deutscher Pilot .
not Russian, Prussian/Geramn
What I have heard and read there were plans on taking Richthofen off active duty because of his injuries and have him teaching and inspiring only on ground level and he couldn't accept that.
Another thing I did read is that the Sopwith Camel attacked Richthofens, think it was his brother and affected by a bullet in his head he broke his own rule to not break off from the squadron.
With both those stories in mind I think he did choose to die as a hero instead of being grounded and never be able to fly again.
His last word "kaputt" can possibly refer to himself, that his spirit was broken.
Cool video!
Manfred von Richthofen did not come from Russia for those uneducated people from Chicago, he came from Prussia which is the old name for Germany. Manfred von Richthofen who was Known as the Red Baron as a British Military Historian the greatest Fighter Pilot ever and is the most famous and respected fighter pilot in the history of the world even by his enemies in WW1 and even today. Sabaton is from Sweden not Germany and they are the greatest band on the planet, they sing about true event's that happened in history from Romans and Vikings to the Falklands war in 1982 Between the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and those of Argentina who invaded British Territory. I don't think that War and what happened in WW1 is very funny especially to us British, Germans, French, Belgians, Australians, Canadians, New Zealander's, Indians from India, South African's, Italians, Serbian's etc etc. In the Battle of the Somme there was over 57,000 British casualties in one day, some towns and villages here in England had there entire population of young men completely wiped out in 4 hours. Villages and small Towns back here in England were left with females, children and the elderly but there men were dead. That is why countries outside the United States take the events of WW1 and WW2 very seriously and we remember those of the UK who served and died fighting for our Sovereignty, Democracy and Freedom including those of our Commonwealth, European and Australasia also Asian Allies. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
