- A French reacts to Sabaton - No Bullets Fly song on the Charlie Brown / Franz Stigler Incident. Following a successful air raid on the German city of Bremen, Charlie Brown's American B-17 bomber, ‘Ye Old Pub’, suffered severe damage. When German fighter ace, Franz Stigler, was ordered to shoot it down, he risked his life to escort the bomber to safety instead of attacking.

Special thanks to the person who suggested recommended I react to this song, and allowed me to discover this incredible story ;) Don't hesitate guys to let me know if there are other Sabaton songs you'd like to hear on this channel!
Salut,
Sabaton a fait quelques unes de ces clips en collaboration avec la chaine d'animation historique (Yarn Hub) que je vous invite à regarder, c'est vraiment sympa.
En tout il y a 5 clips qui sont nés de cette colaboration Sabaton/Yarnhub et vallent toutes une réaction ! Les voila:
- Celle ci, No bullet fly (ou comment expliquer à un américain la différence entre un Nazi et un soldat allemand...)
- Lady of the Dark: La femme soldat la plus décorée de l'histoire
- The first Soldier: Premier soldat de France, tout simplement (déjà fait je crois)
- Nightwitches: l'équipe de bombardier entièrement féminin le plus connu de la premiere gurre mondiale
- The Red Barron: le plus grand AS de la première guerre mondiale
Désolé j'ai pas pris le temps de jeter un coup d'oeil à votre chaine pour voir si vous en avez déjà fait
En Bonus Stage, du coté de Sabaton y'en a des pas mal... Dans mon Top:
-Sparta: L'histoire du goulet des Thermopyles (clip non officiel sympatoche)
- Father: L'inventeur du gaz empoisonné (première guerre mondiale) (clip non officiel sympatoche)
- Attack of the Dead mens: Des Russes gazés qui se relèvent plein de sangs et qui finissent par faire fuire les assailants (première guerre mondiale, ils ont fait un mini film sur cette histoire, on peut le trouver sur youtube. C'est un des évennements les plus connu du frond Est, y'a aussi des clips non officiel sympatoche)
- Hellfighter: Une équipe de Soldat noir donnés à la France par les Etats-Unis. C'est la seul équipe a n'avoir jamais cedé de terrain, jamais pris de prisonniers et ont été les premier a franchir le Rhin (première Guerre mondiale)
- Shiroyama: Si vous avez déjà vu le film "Le dernier Samouraï", cela raconte cet épisode de la fin de cet air (clip non officiel sympatoche)
- The Price of a Mile: La bataille de la Somme.... toujours considérée comme une bataille 100% anglaise, ce qui est faux, mais passont.... elle est bien (clip non officiel sympatoche)
- The Last Battle: Un histoire assez incroyable d'une prison dans un chateau ou sont gardés de très grands membres et dinitaires de France. L'armée Allemande, sachant que des SS vont venir les exécuter (on est à la fin de la guerre), l'armée allemande se retranche pour les protéger avec l'aide d'une équipe américaine.
- Rise of Evil: la plus longue chanson de Sabaton et la plus profonde d'entre toutes. La montée au pouvoir d'Hitler. Une personne à fait un clip parfait utilisant un film sur le même sujet, si vous aimez cette période, c'est avec le clip que vous devriez la regarder ( w w w.th-cam.com/video/-q120sJeisY/w-d-xo.html)
- Final Solution:L'holocauste
- Bismarck
;)
My favourite WW2 story - if you want to see more detail into it, there is a book called A Higher Call which follows both Charlie's and Franz's story in detail.
To answer some of the questions you had - If I recall correctly Franz realised that they arent shooting at him despite being in range and grew curious so he flew closer and noticed how damaged the plane is.
He found himself unable to shoot them as his flying instructor instilled strong ethics ("If I ever see you shooting at parachutes, I will shoot you myself" and such). In this case he saw the plane as such parashute and just couldnt do it. He originally tried to make them land and surrender which they refused - then he tried to escort them to Sweden which they also refused so he just took them across the Atlantic Wall - without him they could have never made it as the only reason they didnt get shot down was that the spotters thought that it is some sort of infiltration mission using damaged allied bomber (why else it would be escorted by a German plane afterall).
The whole story is incredible - very much worth the read.
Thank you for all of this, a story of honor in the sky. The book is in my to-read list :)
Thank you for your reaction - kind words
Thank you :) Greetings from France
@@ToonStory-fh4gn You that she is the woman in the video?
@@Palmcastleswe It's Franz Stigler's daughter!
So nice to still see you comment on these reactions. Your father was a true hero, and he deserves to be known about.
@@miafranlund6982 Thank you
If you don't get emotional, you're neither a man,nor a human.❤
True ♥️
Not sure if others have said it here but the main part of Stiglers thinking could be described by what his first commanding officer taught his pilots in north Africa. He told them "we figth to defeat the enemy plane, if I ever see you shooting at a man in a parachute, I will kill you myself". That is the part about honor in the song. And Stigler basically could not see a difference between this plane so badly damaged it could no longer fight and a parachute. But choosing to just not shoot was not enought because he knew the coast anti-air defense will surely kill them instead. So he flew formation with them over the coast to show the ground batteries to not fire - they recognize the shape of Bf109 and know that occasionally captured B-17 were used by Germany so they do not fire on the formation of the two.
I don't normally read war history books but after seeing this animated story and the accompanying Sabaton History video I decided to get the book A Higher Call by Adam Makos that describes this incident including life and training of both pilots. It is an excelent book and does much better job of explaining how Stigler got from his 1940 state of mind "kill as many Allies a possible" after loosing his brother to the 1943 state of mind where he could not bring himself to kill a defenseless B-17. And also how they found each other over 40 years later.
You are the first one to bring this information! When I discovered this story, I really wondered what mental cord had pushed Stigler to act in this way. Honour!
Also he could very much have been taken down by the german flak.
Thanks for this superb information! Cheers
@@ToonStory-fh4gn he couldn't know for sure the B-17 gunners will not shoot him, the German flak will not shoot him or that nobody will identify his plane and report him. Risked his life to the honorable thing in at least 3 different ways. What a great person.
I recommend Smoking Snakes one of my favorite and in my opinion a very underrated song
Brazil! Thank you, quickly read the backstory, looks nuts
@@ToonStory-fh4gn I respect the fact you look into the history of the songs before you react! Keep up the good work!
@@brangertheburger4227 Thank you so much!
Welcome to Sabaton family! 🤘Love and respect ❤
Thank you! What a fantastic family
Great reaction as always! Maybe you have these on your list already but here are a couple of tips for other songs to react to.
"Bismarck" - About the ship. The official video version of the song is great.
"1916" - A great cover of the Motörhead song.
"The Price of a Mile" - About the Battle of Passchendale.
"Uprising" - About the Warsaw Uprising (there is a live version of this that the play in fron of 500k people in Poland but the official video is great too).
"Cliffs of Gallipoli" - About the Gallipoli campaign.
"The Last Stand" - About the Swiss Guard and the 1527 sack of Rome.
I also love the Carolus Rex album which is more of a concept album that follows Swedish military history from the Thirty Years War to the Great Northern War. Especially the 2020 live version from Gothenburg of the song "En Livstid I Krig" is really great. But all songs on that album are good in my opinion. The Thirty Years War also features France so would be interesting to hear your perspective on it.
Btw. have you thought about doing reactions to Sabaton History? Most of the Sabaton History episodes are really great.
Wow awesome! I had 1916 in mind, those you suggest are excellent picks. I actually like the Swedish military history (Breitenfeld & Narva intensifies), and at some point will also explore other areas including the 30 Years War. And I don't know Sabaton History, will investigate that as well! Thank you :)
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Awesome :) If you havent checked out Sabaton History then you are in for a treat. Indy Neidell and the gang that produces that are fantastic. Looking forward to your next videos!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn btw. have you heard the WWII story of Witold Pilecki? He is a Polish soldier who volonteered to infiltratw Auschwitz were he built up resistance cells before he escaped. His story is incredible and sad.
Sabatons song "Inmate 4859" is about him. If you want to start reacting to Sabaton History then the episode about the song "Inmate 4859" would be a very good start. I am sure you will be fascinated by the subject.
@@StoriesFromHistory-rv4oi Sacrebleu ! 2 days ago I answered "That dude : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki
" on an historical discord to the question "bravest person in history?" What a superb suggestion!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn sacrebleu indeed, this will be perfect for you :)
I don't know if you caught it, but at 2:35 the narrator mentions Sergeant Bertram "Frenchy" Coloumbe in the turret shot the 190 out of the sky.
I missed that one! Thank you!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Vous êtes les bienvenus mon ami!
Definitely a great video, but the timeline is a bit off...December 1943 was a bit before the Allies had real control of the skies over Germany...that did not happen until the latter part of 1944. Even in 1943, the US strategic campaign over Germany was still having very mixed results when they tried to reach into Germany too far. The raids on Bremen were still part of the same Pointblank bombing campaign that had targeted German aircraft production in the Schweinfurt-Regensburg missions, which continued until March 1944 when all the Allied bombers were dedicated to the transport campaign as a prelude to the Normandy invasion. After the success of the invasion and Normandy campaign, the bombers went back to the assault on Germany in September...but now they were escorted by P-51s with drop tanks for more range.
Thanks for these remarks! I might have gone one step too far with the "total control in the airs". What I meaned was at this point Lufwaffe / AAR are still inflicting damages to the allies, but have lost any kind of initiative and at this point had to contain the allied raids. More important the momentum is forever lost for the Luftwaffe, they are completely outproduced. Totally agree with the failure of the bombing campaign, and its controversial nature (cf. "Bomber Harris")
@@ToonStory-fh4gn OK...yes, I agree that by December of 1943 the Luftwaffe was on the defensive and the Allies were taking the initiative both in the day and at night. I also agree that many aspects of Harris' night time area raids continue to be controversial to this day...but I would not agree that the Allied bomber campaign overall was a failure...it was just not often as successful as it has been portrayed. The biggest failure of the strategic bombing was probably that it never went after Germany's electrical generating capacity.
@@iKvetch558 I've gone back over the main works I have at my disposal. I believe that historiography has evolved a great deal on these points, from "aerial bombardment broke down German resistance" to "aerial bombardment was a waste of resources and had counter-productive effects" (I'm caricaturing). Here's where I stand in my personal reflection:
1) The primary objectives behind this campaign (break civilian morale, break industrial capacity) were unrealistic and in my opinion based on an overestimation of the capabilities of the air weapon still new at the time.
2) The bombings inflicted definite damage but also had negative repercussions by radicalizing part of the population, and I'm not sure that in the end it paid for its cost.
3) Now here's what I find really interesting: Germany had to mobilize a lot of resources to limit the scope of its bombing raids. Repairing factories, burying part of the military-industrial complex, bringing back part of the air force from the Eastern Front to protect home soil... What could Germany have done with these extra resources?
Don't hesitate to let me know your thougths on this! Anyway I'm delighted and grateful that you took some time to share your opinions with me :)
@@ToonStory-fh4gn I don't disagree about the reevaluation of the bombing campaign, but it has not really followed the same path on the British side as it has on the US. Yes, on the British side, the effectiveness of area bombing has been called into great question...but on the US side the reevaluation has been more about recognizing the civilian casualties that came from "precision" bombing that was never really all that precise.
sabaton Lady of the Dark animated story video is my fav tell me she does she look like Floor in the video
I really want to react to that one!
I was the one who commented on your "Night Witches" video - yep - you sure did - sorry I did not check first. Hope you are well sir.
Well I hope you enjoyed it and I salute you from the Land of the holy Baguette
@@ToonStory-fh4gn And I wish you a happy new year from the land of ice and snow (Alaska).
@@StevenMRA Happy new year too mate :)
I like hearing about historical war stories that humanise the enemy rather than demonising them. I don't care which flag a soldier fights under. So long as they're not ideologically fanatic, they're just a regular man/woman fighting for their home
Yes exactly, same as for the Christmas truce during WW1. It's good to see some humanity in the midst of these moments of absolute horror!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Exactly
Deja de parar la cancion sdw
