I was an absolute MESS when I first watched this video. Could not stop crying for a while. I also got the novel of this amazing story, called A Higher Call. VERY well made. You even get pictures and documents/letters.
The B-17 was a ENORMOUS monster. He could fly with almost his entire tail destroyed, on one engine. Always great what Sabaton shows, this was very emotional 😥 No bullets fly, they are heroes 🎖️🎖️ the meeting between the two pilots after the war, they became friends 💙💙 for life. There are history teachers who use this in their lessons 📚 🤘
B-17 Flying Fortress - and how. Unbelievable aircraft. Tough as nails and armed for bear, since the fighters at the time couldn't carry enough fuel to get all the way there and back.
This story always gives me chills. Great reaction to Sabaton! A couple others to check out would be To Hell and Back, Screaming Eagles, and 40:1 (The live at Woodstock and/or Wacken 2019).
All soldiers are brothers. The politicians make the wars the soldiers have to fight them. Once the war is done (and sometimes during the war as in this story) the soldiers, sailors and airmen have more in common with each other than the politicians who sent them to fight.
6:14 We can see that emotion in you. We, some of us ;), feel that too. Since you are a Marine, the code is above what? These guys, Airmen/fighters of units that didn't have a branch of the military, had a code from before WWI, but they used it here. Many stories like this exist, older pilots with the honor code. One should be so lucky, you don't shoot a defenseless man.
Another wonderful song and a fantastic reaction video! Sending positive energy to the US after witnessing the horrific scenes in LA. All the best from Sweden 🙌🏻
Franz Stigler once told during an interview, that his former Squadron Leader once spoke to all the Pilots, telling them that if he gets aware, that anyone shoots at a Parachute, he will shoot the one himself. They are Pilots, Soldiers, not Murderers! Franz must have seen the crippled B17 as nothing but a Parachute
While this video is amazing at showing the story, THIS video uses a movie about a bomber group and shows the emotions of bomber crews. I love this song because one of my great grandfather's was a bombardier (the guy that fine tunes the flight path and drops the bombs) who's B-17 was shot down over the Netherlands. One of 3 survivors and taken POW for 2 years. I wish we had the book written by a fellow POW, but we believe my mom threw it away not knowing what it was. th-cam.com/video/efxs-Hp0QEw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qTl9wB2YCC1Z6cO1
Hi there. I would like to watch you reacting to some SABATON vid's. The first one is SCREAMING EAGLES. It's about The 101'st Airborne fighting in Bastonge, Belgium. Most realistic! The other one is from a live concert in Gothenburg, Sweden and the song "En Livstid I Krig" or in English: A lifetime in War. Put the caption on. This will be emotional! Also, A Happy New Year to You! ,🇸🇪🇺🇸
TH-cam brought me to you're channel via 1916, and while i think you focus on the more serious side of things, i heartily recommend Blackadder goes Forth - a comedy series from the UK if you are unaware. There are 4 series, and the 4th is about WW1. While still a comedy the series finally gave what i think is still one of the most poinient (apologies, spelling error!) moment is UK TV.
I’m a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience. I can relate to this. I could have fired on so-called “combatants” and would have been justified but, it wouldn’t have been moral…nice reaction!
Did you watch all the way to the end? They sent that video to Sabaton and I read somewhere that Sabaton sends them back stage tickets whenever they are nearby
As 2025 marks 80th year anniversary of WWII i Try to make it in an chronological order -Screaming eagles. was 1943 just before Xmas -Attero Dominatus. About battle of Berlin -Hearts Of Iron. Of how 1 general goes against Adolf's order not to defend the city but to rescue civilians before Red army got them. -Rise of evil .Tells a story of AH and how he rise to power ( not in 1945 but that where it all ends) -The Last Battle. a story after Berlin fell and how U.S and Germans fights together against the very last Nazi soldiers there is left. -Nuclear Attack. Tells a story of two bombings for this i highly recommend to do an ASCotter TH-cam user version of this and many other Sabaton songs. Greetings from Finland \o/

A soldier above all other prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and Bear the deepest ! Wounds and scars of war...

I can't watch this music video without crying, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Thank you for your reaction and for your service!

If you liked this one then Night witches (also with Yarn hub) should be on the "to do-list" :)
