Pleased to harvest a few more Viking tears. Thanks for the reaction and the comments on the planes.
Well, you are doing a great job. I warmed up to the art style of the faces as well as I noticed how well you do facial expressions. Well done guys (and galls?)!
@@VikingReacts There is also a song from a band called "Desert", its name is "Fortune favors the brave", which is about another Soviet aviator - a fighter ace Lydia Litvyak, the best female fighter of all time. I can recommend it both to you Viking as a song, and to the Yarnhub as a topic. A lot of people nowadays know about the night witches, but not many know about the White Lily of Stalingrad.
May I do a reaction to the songs ? PS I love the animations
In addition to ensuring that all of her girls received a proper burial, Major Rachkevich had another reason for seeking out their remains; Stalin's Order 270 marked any MIA as a potential traitor to the Motherland and denied them any military honors. She located the last wreck site in the fall of 1974 and passed away just a few months later, having succeeded in her goal.
I heard about that, though not in the detail you gave. Thank you for the information! These women truly earned the honors they received.
Wow. Stalin was an *ass.*
Respect.
Love that you showed the names of these brave women at the end. I read through all of them and it kinda made me want to salute, and I'm neither Russian or in the military in any way. It was just that damn powerful together with this amazing song. I'd say they were braver than the men. The men had proper gear, likely a lot more support and money thrown behind their regiments and most important of all, well functioning, modern planes that wasn't held together with wood, strings, cloth and faith. These women weren't just soldiers, they were every day superheroes in my opinion.
They didn't get a parade... I gave them the best I could ;)
@@VikingReacts *bows* It was really touching. Thank you for doing that. :)
@@VikingReacts Also no parade for the Polish squadron 303 - pilots, after the battle of England :-( , see Aces in Exile , Sabaton
The Night Witches were organized by Major Marina Raskova, who was essentially Russia's equivalent to Amelia Earhart, she died in a car crash during the war and consider that they sing about her in the song I think that is her with Sabaton
That their commissar took it on herself to find every crashsides where one of 'her girl' always gets me.
These girls deserve an article on Badass of the Week!
At least :)
I also want that site to get the article on Boadicea back up.
@@brigidtheirish No doubt!
To be honest, their planes weren't allowed to fly the Victory parade, while some members of this regiment attended the parade "by feet"
And, yes, many adult men. especially ones conducted real military duties can't hold their tears. We were educated in such manner: "women and children must be protected at any costs". And that's why we may cry seeing the death of the servicewoman - we feel kind of guilty that we, the men, strong and powerful, could not save this tender one...
You didnt want to mess with the russian women during that time, some of their best snipers were women as well.
I read that at some point. But to be honest.. I would need to dive into this further as my knowledge on russian history is very limited.
@@VikingReacts yes, it shows
@@ace777lions well... I can't know everything :p
You don't mess with Slavic women in general. Or Nordo-Germanic. Or Celtic. Or *Jewish.*
@@brigidtheirish dont mess with woman. !
Wish yarnhub would make more Colabs with sabaton! Absolutely love these man keep up the great reactions
Yes, it is oddly satisfying to watch stories being told this way :). Thanks for the compliment and I will do just that ;)
You should do Sabaton's winter war song as well. It's about their, sorry our national hero marksman Mr.Häyhä called white death.
That part about Komissar Rachkevitch finding the resting place of each one of her girls always brings tears to my eyes too, Viking.
Btw, the victory parade was a warning to the western allies as much as anything, featuring the biggest and baddest gear the soviets had. The IS-3 tank really did the trick, it scared the sheite out of everybody. The USSR of course neglected to mention it wasn't fit to be fielded and would remain so for years, lots of teething problems... 😁😉
Another awesome reaction and brilliantly told story from Sabaton, I was blown away at how impressive these women were, like Russian Valkyries!
Loved the tribute you gave them too brother, honestly a very kind gesture
Skål
Lol, I got a copyright thingy on my youtube because of it. And I couldn't care less. They deserved it!
Skål my commentary friend ;)
I get goosebumps every time I watch the Night Witches video.
The maximum height they could fly at was much lower than other bombers, too, so they swooped in *extra* low to get below where the anti-air guns would normally aim.
This is a live band that's a must see! Seen them once in Finland and their rocked so fucking hard that I still remember the gig after many years. Just amazing!
I am editing a sabaton video as this comment comes in. Watch that one and see how much I agree with you ;)
the solo btw is not from tommy, its from chris, the other guitarrist from sabaton. tommy wasnt even in the band when they did this masterpiece
Actually... I noticed that Chris was playing in todays live stream and I questioned my earlier comments myself :P. Thanks for that!
I LOVE that you show so much respect for the real people behind these stories. You are awesome. :)
You've got to see this song live from the great tour. Unreal stage show for this one
I will check it out ;)
@@VikingReacts you won't regret it bud.
3:57 fun fact: That same background music is also used as an intro when they play this song live.
The beginning of the Night Witches, is said to be as low as the sound of the “engines” of the Po-2 to make another references to them
That is kind of cool :)
I think the last scene with the women that she represented Sabatons female fan group "Witches Division". Loved the reaction and this a such an amazing story. Check the live performance from Leipzig when you can. The pyro is.... nice. :)
I'll check it out! And I had the same thought but I couldn't verify it anywhere...
@@VikingReacts They talk about the "Sabaton Witches Division" in part 2 of Sabaton History on Night Witches: th-cam.com/video/WboCTGTo2LU/w-d-xo.html . As a member of this group I can happily confirm that we do exist
@@leoniefouquet9624 Thank you for the link Leonie, that was an awesome video.
@@leoniefouquet9624 Yes we do!
Amazing, they were true heroes 👍😀
Yes they were :)
I never heard that any of those Girls were executed. They could go though interrogation, as a standart procidure in any army tho'. Just keep in mind that even the people that spent years in german camps could get back in to the army, earn rewards, and had a great future (like become an olimpic champions) after the war.
One of the advantages of the planes they used was that they could take off from paddocks.
That would indeed be a great advantage :)
Coming home from work, start up TH-cam and watch this. A nice start to my evening.
Well... it pleases me to read that :)
Самолет назывался У-2 что значит учебный двухместный По-2 его назвали после смерти изобретателя Поликарпова. Третью бомбу брали под ноги штурману, на крыльях было два крепления. Парашюты не брали они не успевали открыться на той высоте.
Yes, you would need more altitude for parachutes. So 3 bombs total... good to know. Thank you!
@@VikingReacts нет проблем
High respect for those women in Regiment 588
Another sidenote: they carried NO parachutes, and most of their KIAs were just burned alive in their burning planes.
Mrs, Rashkevich's order "DO WEAR THE PARACHUTES ON MISSIONS" was mostly ignored: the fate of parachuted pilots on enemy's ground wasn't very pleasing. And you may imagine the fate of the parachuted lady-pilot... It could be much worse then the fate of male pilot.
That was the "Russian feminism" in its purity: "woman can and should defend her motherland!"
The plane than went down, it's pilot was most likely Lidia Litvyak, "The white lily of Stalingrad", KIA 1943, though declared MIA, buried in unmarked grave, and only 45 years later she was actually found and was awarded the Gold star medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously. She was 21.
Lidia Litvyak flew in a Yak-1 fighter, decorated with a white lily. The planes of the night witches were Po-2, biplanes.
@@user-ci6cz3bi9u ну Лидия тоже была одной из "ведьм"
@@Invfreund88 нет, она была элитным пилотом 9 гвардейского полка, который боролся для завоевания господства в воздухе. Она была асом, а ночные ведьмы это ночные штурмовки.Ночные ведьмы - это конкретно 588 плк или позже 46 авиаполк. 586 и 587 полки они уже не ночные ведьмы.
@@user-ci6cz3bi9u окей, значит, где-то напоролся на дезу, неважно. Героизма этих женщин все это не уменьшает.
Отличное видео! Отдельное спасибо за финальные титры.
This is one of my favorite channels on youtube! Keep up the really good videos
Thanks for the huge compliment! Will do!
Hey Viking I’m a new subscriber I love you’re reactions 👍
Oh how I love that song! And Sabaton music in general. And now you, my new favorite of all reactors on YT. This review was as outstanding as the content. ❤
Yay!! Thank you for reacting to this! You just made my day alot better, thank you, and also, this song is my alarm 😂
Well... THAT will wake you up indeed :P. And it makes me happy that people enjoy the vids. So thank you as well!
Недалеко от моего дома в Москве есть улица имени Расковой. Она была крестной матерью этого полка женщин! Мы их помним и чтим! Вечная слава героям!
yup Night Witches is a well earned name
the best reaction to this video, the end was fantastic
Well, I’m happy you approve. I try to do it all justice. Band, song and the heroes they celebrate
The funny thing is the drummer from Sabaton is married to Floor of Nightwish so ;)
Thanks for reaction. Thanks from Russia ❤
Best part of Wednesday is here!!!!
Great reaction as always.
Too bad it's going to be a long week until the next one 😉.
Abraço 👍🤘
You are not the only one waiting. I want to blast through their albums but I have to wait too :P. Glad you enjoy the vids though!
And: Eu gosto de um bom abraço... I think :P
Who doesn't love a good hug? 😁
I have readen below another video reaction from a Russian descendant explaining that his grandfather was military at that time and he had a tattoo saying after translation something like (I don't remember exactly but you will understood the meaning) "daughter and sisters from the motherland, I salute you". If this person sees this comment, please correct me. ^^'
Great reaction.
You already reacted to this song, but maybe you want to check out Livgarden live performance they did today, it's their first ever live performance since pandemic started. Also I suggest you the Night Witches live performance at The Great Tour, the music that give you chills in the beginning of animated video is the intro of that performance, and you can't miss Joakim firing a bazooka.
I actually watched that stream myself ;). I will check the live soon by the way!
When I watched the original video I kept replaying the part with the song
You should see the live verision from the great war tour that is absolutly magnificet, Joachim do something special... don’t whant to spoil it 😎😎
Haha, i will check it. Thanks for not spoiling it!
Basically, the first stealth bomder.
That was a great reaction again. Love the song also🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 and the Sabaton History channel is also really cool right? I love that channel😁
I REALLY recommend to do from Sabaton : Ghost Division. You really going to love it😁🤟🏻
I will check it out soon. And yes indeed...a lot of added info is provided through their history channel :)
You should watch the red baron by Sabaton. Really nice as well.
And I shall ;). It is on my to-do list!
Dude I teared too
One of the best songs from their live set too😀I recommend you to check out the live video from The Grear Tour😉
I'll check it out!
Мы чтим их, как и всех кто воевал в этой проклятой войне
If shomeone whant to know, she shouts "Mom!" She call for her Mom...
Einer meiner Lieblingssongs von Sabaton. :)
And I can see why :)
if you want some more touching stories then i recommend union and angels calling. the last battle is also a great story
Cool, will do :)
Up to 18 flights at night, live with that fact
Devil dog please if you haven't done it already
It is about the US marines in WW1
„Even if they got home mostly they still got executed“ not clear, how and why. Those female pilots who survived were fine, their interviews are even posted here in youtube
12:20 I have a lump in my throat tbh damn
There is a few songs I like from them. Mainly Hearts of Iron, Saboteurs, and Price of a Mile.
All on my to-do list. Seems cool :)
Look closely and the silhuett looks like witches on brooms.
You should react to Heilung
Heilung is an experimental folk music band made up of members from Denmark, Norway, and Germany.[3] Their music is based on texts and runic inscriptions from Germanic peoples of the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Viking Age. Heilung describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern Europe". Their music is usually about Norse deities, jǫtnar, and valkyries. "Heilung" is a German word meaning "healing" in English
They use human and other bones as instruments
As instruments, items are used that may have been already available to humans in the Iron Age, such as drums, bones or spears.
The drums are painted with human blood
No electric guitar :-)
Heilung krigsgaldr (th-cam.com/video/QRg_8NNPTD8/w-d-xo.html)
Heilung in maidjan (th-cam.com/video/kmWTZ3KfnXE/w-d-xo.html)
I plan to actually. A lot of people have told me to do so :)
I love witches and I am germen..straaange *g* But seriously, good Witch-Work !
Lot's of Germans like witches. I remember seeing a lot of them in the "Harz" around the "Brocken". It is Walpurgisnacht where the witches will fly to the top of the mountain and meet with the devil :).
@@VikingReacts Uh, this is one educated Viking. Tyrs justice be with you my friend!
@@morgana001 It helps to have been born in Germany ;). I have lived there for 13 years and my favorite trip was to the Harz area.
@@VikingReacts Oh nice to know. Harz is beatiful and stunning. Little to far away for a careless trip from my point, but nonetheless one of the best locations besides the mystical Woods of 'Schwarzwald'. But I am so lucky to live near two borders. Would be easier to drive to Maastricht and go for some Poffertjes :)
Long rant, but what I wanted to say: There is beauty all around us, savor it.
@@morgana001 Sounds like you live in or near the Eifel area. If so... that is where we usually spend our holidays :P
Primo Victoria music video is another good one
You have to watch the liveversion lots of fire
I will have to :)
BTW they were bride women, but men joked in their expense. And they didn't think that highly of them. Only in after war those women were recognised.
Sabaton is doing a live stream today 😊
So I've heard :). And I got the tweet right after the video launched!
Something to mention, bcuz history buffs who k now more then me have already critiqued anything to be critiqued.
But damien of the omen series, isn't Satan, he's the beats who Satan sends to earth. He's one of Satan's higher ups. Not actually satan. Just a minor thing. But it bugs me when people think damien is satan, bcuz he isn't in that movies lore.
I am the 1K like ;)
From Russia with love)))Kiss you from Russian women)
Dessa kvinnor förtjänar ett erkännande.tack sabaton
Some bimbo on tiktok: i am a role model for young girls to prove you can do anything.
Me, an intellectual veteran talking to his daughter: wrong, the 588th are role models for girls to prove you can do anything.
Поздравляю Сабатон со вступлением в НАТО)
10:15 and you went to see them live. 🙂 But sadly not this song.
These women did unbelievable things, I don't think it was so much pride, but anger towards the attackers.
I'll quote the special guests from Amsterdam.
"Maidens...
... shouldn't be underestimated" - Babymetal, Megitsune.
Yeah, Russia was hard on it's fighter's Women and men a like. In winter war Russian were left in small pockets called Motti(Finnish word) and they were freezing in there. If anyone came from those foxholes they were shot immediately by Finnish defense force. Russia send no back up or tried any rescue of it's men.
Please Listen to☺
blameshift-came for blood
New Kicking ass song
Do "The red baron" next
Not sure if it will be next... but I will do it ;)
not thommy it was Thobbe Englund at this time
Hey mister ❤️. I really enyoj your reaction to Sabaton songs.. I have a lot of suggestionsfor you. I would Love tovse you react to the final solution, THE last battle, soldier of three armies, BALLAD OF BULL!!! Oj PLEASE so that One ❤️❤️. Thats a story and a song that kind of humble, but amazing!! I watch a lot of reaction vids, but I want to see YOUR reaction to that One! Please.. for me 🤪?
All of these songs are on my to-do list. Eventually...it will be done ;). I am glad you are enjoying these reactions!
Yeah!!! Looking forward to it ❤️
Блин, Вот как объяснить смысл 588 полка человеку выросшему в расцвет феминизма? Ярость, женская ярость и желание отомстить, вот что создало этот полк. Никогда не вставай между злой женщиной и объектом ее ярости, сам виноват останешься
So basically girl und panzer in the air?
React to Far from the Fame. You'll be 1st Nobody ever reacted that song
why not do the history-channel as a reaction aswell?
i'd watch it.
Many history tellings forgets about the bravery by the Kamakasi pilots, might be because they where on the wrong side of the war! Winners writes the history 🤟
Well... Sabaton sings about a German fighter pilot as well... I imagine they would make a song about those pilots as well if they find a story that can be turned into an inspiring song :)
It's different because in this story they are all women which makes the story more special in my opinion. Especially in the chauvinistic world then
Where did you get an idea , that girls are not allowed to get back, after they have been shut down? And if they do return, they get executed? Where did you get this information?
I tend to read about the Sabaton songs on either their own page or just generally on history sites. I want to have some knowledge going into a video like this. The history and people that lived through it deserve this. In this case… I don’t recall the specific platform used…
Even before the Second World War, Stalin introduced gender equality in the USSR. So the men didn't really dominate. Both men and women fought and worked together. And sometimes children. Some of the children are presented to the stars of heroes of the USSR.This is the highest state award. And whether these women were proud of themselves or not, I do not know. I only know that we are still proud of them and will be proud of them. Like all those who fought for our homeland and without whom we would not be in the world.Every May 9th we organize a military parade in their honor.And we go to the parade with photos of our grandparents.Who died and who returned home.The USSR lost 27 million people in World War II, of which 8 million were soldiers, and the rest were civilians killed by the Nazis in accordance with their misanthropic ideology.
У тебя русская борода, кстати русский царь Рюрик был по рождению скандинавом и с собой принес любовь к бородам.
So by the law of beard... I can be adopted into a Russian family?
@@VikingReacts да
Please react to five fingers death punch - gone away. It's a cover of the offspring song.
I'm sorry for the bad english, I'm not speak correctly but I'm leaning.
Are you Portuguese by any chance? If so...write Portuguese as I can read it (my ex was Portuguese). I can't write it though. But I have added your song to my list :)
Stop with that execution shit. No pilot who made it back was ever executed. If anything, the Soviets would launch a rescue mission to get the downed pilot back. It takes time to train a pilot. These plans were uniquely suited for rescue missions. It can land and take off just about anywhere.
If I absolutely can't find fault with the lyrics of Sabaton's songs, then their historical videos (namely those that talk about the USSR) are either full of stupid fakes from anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, or they are silent about important facts.Somewhere more, somewhere less, but all this creates the wrong impression for those who watch it.
