- The United States entered the battlefields of Europe in 1918. Among the first Americans to participate in the fight are the U.S. Marines, who quickly adopt the names Devil Dogs. One of their most notable engagements is the Battle of Belleau Wood in June 1918, where the Marines fought the battle-hardened Germans for 26 days.

This episode is about the US Marines and their actions during the Battle of Belleau Wood in 1918. While most of the footage in this episode is depicting the marines and the Germans in 1918, and some of it is even depicting the actual fighting in Belleau wood, there is not a whole lot footage or imagery from the action. So for whoever is enough of a history buff to spot that some of our illustrative material is in fact depicting other engagements, well spotted! We try to use authentic material whenever we can, but in the end we have to make an episode visually attractive and dramatic, and we can't do that with just looking at Indy's head for 15 minutes (although I'm sure that many of you wouldn't mind). That was the announcement. Peace, rock on and cheers!

Who could ever think we don't want to look at Indy's head for 15 minutes??
YES! FINALLY! DEVIL DOGS!
Will the next videos be more of the new or some of the old songs. cause I was listening to a old one and wanted to hear the history on it, forgot which one tho.
A Wisconsin newspaper had an article on the "Devil Dog" nickname on April 27th, 1918. Some newspapers used this nickname as early as April 14th, 1918. So essentially, this song has a Wisconsin connection!
Indy has a beautiful forehead,
Change my mind.
Marine Logic: "If you walk into an open field with the other guys shooting at you, just keep walking; they'll run out of bullets eventually."
Who knew it would've worked?
So the Marines use the same logic as the Russians?
@@andrewlynch4126 And Allies in '44. I mean, "If ain't broken..."
@@andrewlynch4126 they made that logic before the Russians learned about it
Marine here.
We were told in a boot camp "history" lesson that we were given the name Devil Dog for a myriad of reasons, but my favorite was because the gas would cause us to foam at the mouth while we were hooking and jabbing with our bayonets, terrifying the German soldiers who thought we were literal demon dogs from hell.
I love it
Semper Fi, Marine. My brother in the Navy will send you some crayons to enjoy 😉
That would make for one hell of a scary sight to the casual observer.
Kinda like the Russian "Attack of the dead men" but in their case they literally did have foam, blood and bit of skin coming from their faces while they did their counter attack lol
The Devil Dogs story isn't true, it was invented by the American newspapers & the phrase is found in 100+ US newspapers 6 weeks before Belleau Wood actually happened. Slightly embarrassing really.
Pär looks like that guy in the bar, who sits alone, drinks whiskey and you just know by looking at him, that he is the nicest cowboy in the town.
Reminds me of the guys from ZZ Top.
I thought it was Rob Zombie 😂
I was thinking he was pulling off the "southern rocker" pretty damn well.
I've always thought that about Pär: he'd be the favourite uncle at family get-togethers, but probably has a black belt in karate if you piss him off. Could Pär confirm?
I always thought that Pär was more like a Swedish Wizard who always rolls 20 on his Knowledge (History) checks.
June 1918: American troops fought in France
June 1944: "Ah shit, he we go again."
Yeah

"And before you comment, yes the American version of the Cheauchaut machine gun was terrible."
XD
Sounds like they watched project lightning lol
@@stephengalindo6340 I found out about that weapon from a program called Weapons that changed the world
In the colonies they renamed it "Triggers"
And they basically used the Chauchaut in combination with the BAR and came up with the conclusion that the chauchaut was complete shite.
It was notorious, and not in a good way...
@@moritamikamikara3879 That show was brilliant!
@@jamiegray6931 I still can't find it on the internet.
I mean, I can find some 5 minute clips but I gotta find full episodes
10 days till Great War album drops guys! Whos psyched?
GREAT WAR
WHY MUST I WAIT MORE
GREAT WAR DROPS IN TEN MORE DAYS
we all are
@@fullmetalgamers1276 not gonna lie, I read it while singing lol
I cant wait to listen all of this songs !!
8 days though
Sturmtruppen: allies are afraid of us
Devil dogs: hello there
Sturmtruppen: General Kenobi
You are a bold one
@@frederic3952it Is over we have the highground
Francis Pegahmagabow:Hello there.
I would like but there’s 69 likes so I can’t
8:14 Yep that sounds like what an American would say to his troops.
Sad Frederick II of Prussia: Ich hatte es erstens gesagt
Americans are crazy in war because we're made up of immigrants from all of the European nations that had wars every decade or so
Dan Daly is a hero in the Marines. Two time Medal of Honor Recipient and great SNCO. We learned about him in Boot Camp almost immediately.
U.S. Marines are gruff in their language, it makes the message stick. I know I still shock people with my words, even when their isn't profanity, we have a way with words.
Marines are known for being psychotic and it’s wonderful.
@@MrBucksfan7 -Being a Marine permanently marks your heart and soul. I am not the same man and never will be that I was when I was 18. Marines fight to win and have a lot of fun doing it.
The first time I was shit at, my first thought was "cool", no fear just excitement. It's a combination of personality and training.
'Germans still thought the Americans were cowboys and farmers." Pär straight up looks like both at the end.
In a good way
And then... THEY WALKIN’ HERE
The Germans also *massively* underestimate the fighting spirit of cowboys and farmers who have to contend with bears, cougars, *moose* ...
"Retreat? Hell we just got here!" US Marine 1918
Only three years after the other countries got there ;)
Lavrentivs I love how your only contribution is projecting insecurity because people would dare to like the marine corps.
@@MrBucksfan7 It's more about putting that quote in the context of being said by recent arrivals to allies that have died in the millions for the past 3,5 years.
Lavrentivs Why? Is anyone unaware that WW1 started before the Americans arrived? Also your context is unnecessary since the quote literally states “we just got here”. As in they recently arrived.
Americans are trying to show respect and admiration for their past warriors and you’re making gratuitous points that everyone already knows. The point of the quote isn’t “hurr hurr Murica won WW1 by itself”. The point is “Hey the usmc are amazing fighters determined to fight and win and we admire that”.
Fat merican angry haha
Marine here, and great grandson of a WW1 Marine. I've been waiting for this since I saw the track list. I am not disappointed.
"And, waking or sleeping, I can still see before me the dark threat of Belleau Wood, as full of menace as a tiger's foot, dangerous as a live wire, poisonous with gas, bristling with machine guns, alive with snipers, scornfully beckoning us to come on and be slain, waiting for us like a dragon in its den. Our brains told us to fear it, but our wills heard but one command, to clean it out, and I can still see before my very eyes those waves in the poppy-spattered wheat-field as the steady lines of our Marines went in."
-Col Albertus Catlin, 6th Marine Regiment
Semper Fi, Devil...
Semper Fi, brothers!
Thank you sir for everything and your grandfather as well. I hope I can become one soon!
Semper Fidelis!

@@6yap2 ffs the king of sabaton teasers is back XD
As a former Devil Dog myself, this has been my absolute favorite track from this album. THANK YOU!!!
I can imagine! You're very welcome!
Former what? What's former? Once a marine always a marine.
The Marine Corps is going to love this song. As a branch we are very big on our own history.
Does the Marine Corps also like the song Camouflage?
@@howardbaxter2514 that song sucks
Péter Zsédely No u.
@@Murgablodazor69 i hope you get homeless
@@Murgablodazor69 i hope you have a bad day
To this day the Marine Corps still trains with bayonets
So does the army
So does almost every army, even if no one really expects to use it.
@@seangoins4696
Actually sadly the Army stopped Bayonet Training in 2010. You can find articles on it if you just search it.
There's a quote about that. Can't remember the whole thing, but there is one part: "army bayonets may as well be paper weights."
@@ArmouredProductions im army infantry. We still have it.
Ah so THATS why Devil Dogs has that little E logo next to it in the iTunes store
COME ON YOU SONS OF BITCHES! DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!?
SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP!
URAH!
Retreat?, Hell we just got here!!!!! 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment Semper Fi!
Frenchs only know that word :v
The benefit of joining a war just a few months before the end.
@@lavrentivs9891 Oh it could have ended another way without the Marines. So yes, the end of the war was close, but much closer because our boys showed up. Now I'm giving props to French arty, nothing demoralizes like watching your German troops to the left and right get tossed into the air.
@@TheSingleTrucker I'm not saying that the USMC didn't provide valuable service, but listening to some people here, you'd think that they won the war single handedly rather than went up against an exhausted Germany whose army was drawing it's last gasps after four years of constant fighting against mainly the french and russians whom themselves had suffered millions of casualties.
Gay
Looking forward to Sabaton's review of the devil dog snack cakes. Also super hyped for the album.
I'll make sure they don't forget!
Sabaton History I’ll bring a box of the house of blues in Dallas allows it.
I love the devil dog snack
I'd actually watch that
@@Freedomfighter205 I was there too dude.
Hey. I asked my dad (retired Marine) why they were called the devil dogs. He said it was a nickname the Germans gave them. But it wasn’t entirely about their furious battle tactics. It was actually a side product of all the officers and NCOs getting killed. Then new leaders would arise from the ranks. These new leaders didn’t know how to lead a charge or communicate so they actually turned to barking (whether barking orders or literal barking, it’s up to the Marine you ask. My dad portrays it as literal barking) to signal a charge. The Germans heard barking and were confused as you’d probably be when you hear dogs in the other trench. Then out of nowhere there would be a ton of Marines charging your position.
Basically it was the barking then the furious attacks that led the Germans to nickname the Marines the devil dogs.
Also these attacks became really scary for the Germans because they realized that America’s finest were charging them leading to terror through the ranks.
I love you guys’ music and I love learning the history behind the events that inspired it!
Just dropped by to say that every song you've teased so far sounds amazing and the sabaton history channel is truly your calling :DDD
Thanks!
Belleau Wood is a huge part of the Marine Corps history and identity, to the point where it is taught in Marine Corps Recruit Training along with iconic figures such as Dan Daley.
When Sabaton tours America they should stop at the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico Virginia
This song will become legend in the Corps and will be played at countless drunken debaucheries. Semper fi.
That's what happens when you recruit drunks who like to fight
what do you want to bet in 20 years it will be THE theme of the corps?
I can already guarantee it'll be my Marine buddy's favorite song.
@@luciussulla2641 Just no.
I'll be a national anthem for Marine Corps!
As a Marine I am not afraid to say. This song brought a single manly tear to my eyes. I can't wait to see Sabaton Nov. 3.
What makes my day better? A daily dose of Sabaton History.
8 days 'till the album. Can't wait for it.
🤘🤘🤘
Fun fact: Dan Daly was one of only two soldiers to ever receive two Medals of Honour. By the time he fought at Belleau Wood he was already 44 years of age and had received those two MOH. The guy was a certified badass
Both my parents are Marines, and I'm very proud of them!
And you have every right to be!
Sabaton History Thanks!
8:14 I see where Starship Trooper get their reference from
In the book it says it's from an unknown American WWI officer
12:03 BRODÉN’S ROUGHNECKS!
Rumor has it, it was one Sergeant Major Dan Daly who said that. Who was already up two Medals of Honor at this time.
Parr looking extra lit this episode.
"Parr" lmao
Pirate Pär, aka Parrrrrr
of course! it's bout murica! you gotta wear something litly.
And small
The story I've heard and makes sense about the term devil dogs is how the Marines looked during a part of the battle. After the gas attack and the Marines were trying to take the hill, they had to climb often times scrambling on all fours. Couple that with gas masks and some drooling and foaming at the mouth from heat and it's a scary sight. What the germans saw charging them were crazy men climbing on all fours with long gas masks, drooling/foaming at the mouth and blood shot eyes and were reminded of the dogs from hell.
The Devil Dogs story simply isn't true, the Germans didn't name the Marine's anything other than American's. It's something made up by American newspapers & was in print for over a month prior to Belleau Wood.
I have to play this song for my brother. He was a Marine in the 2nd Battalion 8th Marines during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Looking forward for devil dogs, hopefully it’s even better than the lost battalion
I have to wait 90 days to change my name
Same
Even a meme channel listens to sabaton
I’m so proud of this community
@@NapalmStrike802 he's not the only one
The Lost Battalion is my 2nd favorite Sabaton song of all time with Ghost Divison in 1st place.
My favorite quote to "supposedly" come out of this battle was from Army Gen. John Pershing. As the story goes, when he heard the action report, said, "The deadliest weapon on God's green earth is a Marine and his gun."
Germans: pushes further
Americans: hoo hoo stabby stabby :)
Germans: mein gott
After hearing this song, I wish to personally thank you guys. Your music gave me the strength to become a Marine. I am proud to earn that title. This song is badass. Semper Fi!
Thank you for your comment! Good luck!
Damn, Pär! You look ready to do a duet with Willy Nelson! Cowboy Pär is back! 🤘😁🤘
being a treetop sniper in a war where artillery pieces were with regularity tearing entire trees out of the ground and sending them flying into the air must've been nervewracking, jeez
Sabaton is teasing the next album with Par. Cowboys album confirmed
Considering "To Hell And Back", I wouldn't mind a whole album of Sabaton apping Ennioe Morricone
That could be a theme/thing. Rough Riders, Cossacks, and the like.
@@thebigdrew12 Some Folk Heroes too, like the Aussie who wore Steel Plate Armor and folks like Wyatt Earp.
This song is gonna be my favourite too. I knew that about Red Baron after hearing the snippets in the Sabaton History episode, and I have the same feeling now. Reminds me a little bit of Smoking snakes, a song I also love very much.
The episode is cool as always, and Devil Dogs is surely a very badass name. 😎
As the son of a weapons company Sgt., 1st Marine Division, 3/5...1952-56 Korea , And his older brother (my Uncle) was a decorated Marine Corporal, Rifle company in South/Central Pacific of WW2, Ending at the Battle of Guam - I can assure you I was taught the entire history of the U.S. Marine Corps and I have No higher regard or more respect for a fighting force, like the USMC !
However, I have to recognize and respect the soldiers and fighting forces of Germany ! That country has turned out a Lot of Damn Good Warriors and Hard-Fighting Armies.
If my great grandfather were still alive he'd absolutely love this. He was career marine during WWII and Korea as well as being one of the nine officers that didn't have to go to 'Nam. He mostly worked in supplies and logistics so he never fired a shot in anger. Even so, He was on Saipan when those civilians jumped from the cliffs. He understandably never really talked about it.
It humbles me that you think it would! Thanks!
That "Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you wanna live forever?" in the song is the most badass part of the song. Change my mind.
Pär is looking so dope in that hat and those glasses.
Cowboy Par strikes again
And he will continue to do so
My great grandfather was a marine during WWI, and he was involved in this battle, and even the main charge. He earned two Purple Hearts during the fighting. I’ve been waiting for you guys to do this song since I saw the track list for the album. The sneak peaks of this song guarantee that this will be my new favorite song.
Thats impressive! I hope we did your great grandfathers experience justice!
Former devil dog here. Love these videos so much guys, keep it up. I really appreciate Sabaton keeping the memories of so many epic/valiant/amazing moments that I never would have heard of otherwise and keeping those memories alive.
An another note, it is odd to hear us called the "U-S-A Marines". So used to "U-S Marines". Not an issue, it just stuck out in the lyrics to me.
Thanks a lot for the support!
8:15 gives me goosebumps. every. time.
:Does a shot every time Indy quotes Dan Daly:
:Goes into alcohol coma:
Worth it!
I WANT MORE.
I am part of the USAF, but I love military history that includes the Army and USMC
Top of the game!
Earning their name!
*THEY WERE THE DEVIL DOGS!!!*
Great video as always guys
Thanks!
This is the one I was looking forward to the most from the moment the "the great war" was announced even before the song list was released can't wait to listen to it, they were also the first American unit to be classified as a shock unit by an enemy nation. Semper fi
I first learned of the Devil Dogs at the U.S Marine Corps. Museum in Washington D.C.
Top👍
Wow!! They actually have it in a Museum? It's total BS, the Germans didn't name them Devil Dogs. It was first published in a 100+ US newspapers a good month before Belleau Wood.😂
8:14 as cheesy as that sounded when Indy mentioned that, hearing Joakim shout it at 12:01 made me believe what it really could have sounded like. :)
First
World War Two
Lol

hMMMM
Nice
Hold up
Ralph Likes was a US marine during WW1, and my great grandfather. Salute
should play this for the Marines sometime. I'm sure most bases would love to have you
As a proud veteran of 3rd Battalion / 6th Marines, I can’t wait wait for this song and CD to come out! Semper Fi!
Indy: Operation Blücher
Me: *thunder* Neigh!!!

Did some of the US Marines equipped with the Winchester Model 1898 Shotguns
Yes, and they were extremely effective and feared by the Germans
@@charleshamilton1291 Nope, they were unreliable because of issued ammo.
@@robertkalinic335 Yes, but when they did work they were a force to be reckoned with.
@@hawtdawg8049 Its just a shotgun, you talk about it as if it were some wunderweapon. You should praise smg's instead, shotguns have heavier ammo, smaller capacity and range. I dont think there ever was army using shotguns except for very limited special purposes.
@@robertkalinic335 Shotguns are very environment specific weapons, and the cramped trenches of WW1 were about the best you could get with them. No they aren't wunderwaffe but they're still the guns that made the Germans file a complaint calling them inhumane and threatened to kill anyone they found with them.
At 44 years of age I have learned more about certain parts of history from you guys than all through highschool. You guys are awesome keep up the good work
Thanks! Rock on
I feel like this song is going to make me emotional once the album comes out and we hear the full song.
This has got to be my favorite song on the album by far, LOVE YOU NEIDELL AND SABATON! you got my support always!
A glorious song, already got my Great War on pre order and just await the greatness. Rock on guys.
I've already said that, this is a best crossover channel! Indy, Pär, good video
Thanks a lot! 🤘
That was a cool episode! Thank you!
Thanks for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed it ;)
These videos are basically the only thing I look forward to every week. Also, I can't wait for the new album.
7 days
Ooooh, that song sounds awesome! Can't wait for more!
My father was a Marine and I remember when I first asked him were the name Devil Dogs came from.
He sat my 6 year old butt down and told me the entire story.
It’s something I’ve always loved about the Marines and that my father was a part of the Core.
There are some of his best friends and those looked up to we both will never see again. And I hope even in the afterlife those glorious bastards are staying true to their name. Devil Dogs.
They did live forever in legend
Good episode! Sounds like it will be a fun song to hear and play ❤
I'm curious if we will ever hear a song about operation market garden! Great video guys, as always top quality! Keep it up.
I’m so happy you guys did a song about these guys!
Semper Fi Devil Dogs!!!
Absolutely loving this one. This bit just gives me the goose bumps every damn time.
In times they are needed, such times they appear
When a leader has fallen, a hero arise
And inspire the lost into glorious deeds that
Would give them a name that live on to this day
I absolutely love Pär's song writing, sounds so amazing!
Thanks a lot on Pärs behalf!
Indy and Sabaton is such a great partnership, always look forward to more of these excellent videos!
Good thing this is a weekly series!
Always loved how these songs are made
Cant wait ti come see you guys in the states
I’m looking forward to seeing you guys make videos about pilots in exile and coat of arms
Great story and the song already sounds amazing i cant wait when the album is out
one week!
I love his military history channel, good analysis work where they apply methods for the study of events. Best regards from Venezuela.
We send our kindest thanks to you in Venezuela!
I am so pumped for this song
Another great song, another great history. Keep on, Sabaton!!! 🤘
Thanks!
I would love to see a song about the combat medics of the US Marines.....the Navy Corpsman. Keep up the songs! We need more!
The age of Banzai charges...
kinda crazy if you think about it
I can’t wait for the release🤘🤘🤘🤘
Belleau Wood needed to be a Battlefield 1 Map.
Orc Logic Yes it did. It should have been the 4th ground map for the Apocalypse DLC.
But no, instead they have us shitty plane maps from the campaign that no one cared about.
Can't wait for this song!
They gave 'em the straight silver, to quote Gaunt's Ghosts. Killer song and a great story.
Another great episode 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!🤘
Although I feel like this music is far away from what the soldiers of these battles would recognize, I'm still impressed by the dedication of Sabaton in going the extra mile to dig out the most interesting parts of WW1 history to further their craft. Kudos for working with Indy Neidell to make this possible.
12:02 best part
I really like what you did with the background music.
Thanks! I'll pass it on to our editor!
Fantastic as usual. Thanks Indy from a proud Swede!!!
You're very welcome!
Hell of a story here. And damn, I like what you got here. As for the album. I can't wait to hear it.
I'm sure you'll like it:)
Hey lieber Evert!!! Dankeschön for send me that ,, great war “ Shirt from Graspop!!!

Sabaton is literally my history teacher
Wow all respect for our Marines, They get the job done, never learned this in history class, very refreshing, Thank You for the documentary!!! Devil DOGS
I can't wait for the album, I'm Over hyped ! (and I Just realize that I can't buy it before the 2nd of August 😭😭😭) It will be a really great album !
And, very good video as usual, keep this way Guys !
So is this where the *"DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER"* quote from starship troopers comes from?
