========= Fields of Verdun LYRICS =========
As the drum roll started on that day, heard a hundred miles away
A million shells were fired and the green fields turned to grey
The bombardment lasted all day long, yet the forts were standing strong
Heavily defended, now the trap has been sprung and the battle has begun
Descend into darkness
303 days below the sun
Fields of Verdun
And the battle has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Under the gun
Thy will be done
And the judgement has begun
Nowhere to run
Father and son
Fall one by one
Fields of Verdun
Though a million shells have scarred the land, no one has the upper hand
From the ground above to trenches, where the soldiers make their stand
As the trenches slowly turn to mud, and then quickly start to flood
Death awaits in every corner, as they die in the mud, fill the trenches with blood
Fields of execution turned to wasteland from the grass
Thou shalt go no further it was said they shall not pass
The spirit of resistance and the madness of the war
So…
Go ahead!
Face the led!
Join the dead!
Though you die!
Where you lie!
Never asking why!
========= Historic Fact ==========
The Battle of Verdun (1916) was the longest single battle of the First World War, lasting for more than 300 days. It represents one of the bloodiest battles of the war with over 700,000 combined casualties.

"Is this hell?"
"No, this is Verdun."
"What's the difference?"

The plebs who say the French is known for surrendering clearly never heard of Verdun
*THEY SHALL NOT PASS*
The plebs? Americans
In french : On ne passe pas !
@@Guillaume-pi1du Plutôt ''ils ne passeront pas''👍
France surrendering early in WWII will always be my gag on them and you cannot change that.
@@DudeBro07 no its fals, its a big FAKE by some americans who does not know history and wanted to insult France bc we did not want to join them in the war in the midle east. France did not surrender in WW2 it was an armictice not a capitulation. General Weygand (head of the French army) refused to capitulate, so full powers were voted for Pétain by the governement and his mission was to conclud an armistice with the Germans (a common stop of the fight between 2 countries, and it can include ocupied zones or money for the country that is winning). So if we consider that as a surrender we should therefore consider that the Germans during the 1WW also gave up since there was an armistice between the germans and the allies, and also all the peace treaties in history are also surrenders
As a French soldier living near Verdun/Metz/Gravelotte, I can tell you that the land NEVER recovered even after all this time, and shells are discovered every day in the forests, fields, etc....
After all this time... I can't even comprehend what it was like in WW2... When you see the land, the tombs that are everywhere, memorials, your respect goes so high it reach outer space.
Thank you Sabaton for this magnificent music

But the fact is yeah, he got it from WW1, so 50% correct x)
@Charlie Fogg I See you watch hermitcraft
Fun fact: Charles de Gaulle was in Verdun but was captured about a month into the battle and taken as a POW. He tried to escape 5 times to go back to the fighting but was caught each time because of his height. I often wonder what would happen if de Gaulle did escape and the likely possibility that he would succumb to the hellscape that was Verdun, changing the current landscape of not just France, but Europe itself.
Fun fact: Hitler fought in the war too. There was a soldier, who could have killed him, but he showed mercy and let him go. Too bad he didn't shoot that damn motherf*cker in the face.
@@senorkaktusz5940 Men like Himmler proved that there would have been others in his place.
@@epiclegion1040 Makes sense.
@Fal Treas In the battle of Verdun he saved many lives by making "The Holy road" ( sry for my english, I'm french after all )
@@senorkaktusz5940 eh, not really. *Simple history* did a video about the incident. The conclusion was that it might have never happened and the story was fabricated. According to German military documents of WW1, Hitler was on leave when he was allegedly being aimed at by a British soldier.
doctor : find the difference between these picture
picture : *hell and verdun*
me : they are the same
Hell would probably be warmer and less muddy. Which might make anyone from Verdun think they came to Heaven if they actually came to Hell.

Hi kay
I had an ancestor who survived Verdun on the "hun" side. He told stories of soldiers and horses exploding into red clouds, hit by artillery fire. In his peasant words he said that the place looked like an open air butchery.
a rather apt understatement I'd say. Verdun would make an open air butchery look like a very, VERY PG playground for kids.
there's a reason it's referred to as The Meat Grinder
Thats why its the blood Mill matey

@@viktor8986z7o The thing I don't like about Hearts of Iron 4 is that it can't really model meatgrinder battles like Victoria 2 can. What I don't like about Victoria 2 is that it can't really model encirclement tactics very well like Hoi4 (sort of) can. You can very easily have a Battle of Verdun or Stalingrad in Victoria 2. You can't in HoI4. You can easily have an Operation Bagration or Ardennes Offensive in HoI4 but not in Victoria 2. Sucks there isn't a game that can do both
@@emie9858 I mean, it's a different time period. I think you might be able to do something with tanks around 1920 but the micromanagement required makes it impractical in multiplayer, and in singleplayer the ai is too stupid for it to matter (they can't make a frontline, can't cycle troops, etc.)
Also, encircling stacks is entirely possible in vic2, if a stack is defeated and all the surrounding provinces have enemy soldiers present or an ongoing battle the stack is deleted. This is why multiplayer wars require a proper frontline, to avoid encirclement and to allow a safe space for cycling troops in and out so they can reinforce.
I'd suggest watching some combat guides here on TH-cam if you're interested.
Thank you Sabaton for telling the stories of those who can not. As a historian I love your songs and as a veteran they hit home. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for following, Kris.
The French always surrendering must be an America or England thing cause in my country (The Netherlands) the French are quite respected when it comes to warfare.
"Amusingly", the jokes about the french being surrendering cowards started being common on the internet end 2001. Right after France told the US they would not send their soldiers to die in Afghanistan.
Eventually the french gov' was pressured into helping anyway, but it seems like the American ego never quite recovered from having a Nato member telling them "no".
'My take on it anyway, being French and having lived some time in the US. Make of it what you wish.
@@sirxamner Nah, as an american, sounds about right
@@sirxamner Much as I hate to say it, you actually hit it pretty dead on. This country is VERY insecure about stupid sh*t, and it vibrantly reflects in our internet culture. It also doesn't help that people here are too lazy to actually research stuff, so the lot of us don't know France has actually won many more battles and had a generally more successful military history than us.
That being said, I still feel impressed by the fact that we've been around about 1/3 as long as you have, and have won over half your total number of battles in our meager 3 centuries.
Yeah its kinda stupid. France has the most military victories in the world aswell.
Even for america we joke about them even though they helped us out when we where trying to leave britian

@@Sabaton epic
( ＾∀＾)
Quick Maths: The initial barrage of 10 hours had ~1666 shells per second.
Over 1600 Artillery shells. Per second. Over a period of 10 hours. Wtf
And thats wasnt even the worst one

The german initial barrage consisted of 808 guns, so about double what was possible, and i doubt 808 shells fell in a second at any point
“They shall not pass”
Such historic words, and still remembered today. It takes a lot for your words from 100 years ago to still be remembered. And Sabaton put it in great perspective. Fields of verdun is great.

In fact, numbers were misinterpreted, 700 000-800 000 is the toll of casualties, which means counting both dead and wounded and sometimes POWs
The appropriate tolls are the following :
~ 300 000 dead with 163 000 French and 143 000 Germans
~ 400 000 wounded with 216 000 French and 196 000 Germans
Nevertheless, it still doesn't change the horrific height of the numbers

This song gave me the scare of my life. I was making the sheets to be bed, and was wearing my Apple Watch. One of my sheets got caught on the volume slider on the side of the watch, and turned it to full volume. While listening to this song. I heard “FEILDS OF VERDUN!” and screamed out loud half from being frightened and half from pain because it was so loud.
Your Apple Watch has the right idea. CRANK UP THE VOLUME 🤘🤘
So early, the troops still think it'll be over by Christmas.
Football time
Poor soldiers...this thought was so naive. Pity that the world has forgotten the horrors of war.
I played Sniper Elite 4, if you haven't played it you should, it's a great game. It's saddening that while listening to what some enemy soldiers say they can say things such as, "I'm fine, it'll all be over by Christmas..." or "I want to go home...". Some enemies even have descriptions saying things like, "Worries for his family"...
@@gurtbag eso es triste
@@senorkaktusz5940 not forgotten... This was a new level. No one had ever seen a total war on the scale of WW1. It was the first huge war with modern states that could strain every resource and energy to battle. And since the technology of the time favored defense by a lot... It became almost impossible to push through a determined enemy no matter how hard you tried.

I love how this album and Battlefield 1 have highlighted how active WWI could actually be. Mostly when I was in school and WWI was mentioned, it was mainly emphasizing sitting around in trenches with nothing happening. Yes that was part of it but it doesn't provide the complete picture.
Verdun is bettee.
Better*
Yeah, schools tend to whitewash the whole picture when it comes to warfare, ESPECIALLY the Great War.
@The Xenomorphian The US wasn't fighting Vietnam over individual freedoms, it was fighting them over choice of government(which, admittedly, is way stupider, and just stemmed from our overwhelming fear of communism). The USA was fighting to make Vietnam a democracy, but the main problem stemmed from the fact that we were so afraid of letting them be communist instead that we exercised military power to attempt to institute a false democracy with a ruthless leader behind it.
Long story short, I agree. America fucked up on that one.
@@aherooflegend3076 Wasn't Vietnam just kind of a proxy war against the USSR? Also the Korea war
2:14 oh amazing moment
1:55 look at the tree forming a "👌" lol
Wow very attentive
Someone was blasting this music in a party chat when we were playing For Honor. I screamed Deus Vult and he started speaking in Latin war chants. Fucking legend.

@@marchereve3280 tu devrais changer ton clavier de langue, pcq j'ai dla misère à lire vu que ton correcteur met tout en français.
You shall change your keyboard language cuz I've got difficulties reading it because of you corrector putting all of it in French
@@Im_literally_Manic_Mike tu dis ça mais tu écris bien, puis en langage SMS de petit connard de merde, puis écris bien
Faut savoir mec, choisis l'un ou l'autre xD
Definitely one of Sabaton's best pieces. Great music!
Thank you!
@@Sabaton No, thank YOU for making this great piece of music.
Someone: lol French can’t fight they just surrender
Me:
Revolution and verdun: am I a joke to you
@@Reaper-wz7kj Napoléon: surrender? You mean taking entire Europe
Ho Yes ! Remerber Dunkerque you english runaway
To anyone who says "lol France can't fight"
Explain Napoleon
The French did well in WW1 but not so well in WW2 repeating mistakes from WW1 and ending up surrounded
I listened to this playlist like three hours ago...
Guess I'll do it again
There's never enough metal 😎
😎
😎
@@Sabaton um yes
As a French, the quote « father and son fall one by one » makes me cry…
Thanks Sabaton for this song.
Thank you Pierre for writing 🤟
A German officer recalls: We saw a handful of soldiers, commanded by a Captain, slowly approaching, one at the time. The Captain asked which company we were and then started to cry all of a sudden. Did he suffer of shellshock? Then he said: ...when I saw you approach it reminded me of six days ago, when I walked this same road with approximately hundred men. And now look how few there are left.... We watched as we passed them; they where about twenty. They walked by us as living, plastered statues. Their faces stared at us like shrunken mummies, and their eyes were so immense that you could not see anything but their eyes.
RIP To All Victims of Verdun, both the ones that were killed and the ones that became mentaly destroyed.
Vive la France !!!
PoPuLiStE !!!! xD
Nan jdec, totalement d'accord avec toi...
(vive l'empereur)
baguette people
@@oliwierkluczynski7038 ?
Vive la surrender! :D
@@informatorkubka5929 go back in your cavern, you Neanderthal
Germans: Lets take Verdun, 20 minute invasion
303 days later:
This makes an American cry. I will never mock the French for WW2 again. Because they gave it all in WW1.
I never thought I'd be learning history from a metal band, but I like it.
So I'm french and fyi shells surface so often in people's garden in Verdun that the mayor passed a bill forbidding people to deal with them because the outer shell is so decayed no one can tell if it's a shell full of gas or regular explosif.
And let me tell ya, this might be one of the only forest where no teenager ever sneak out to have a party with a fire pit.
Teacher: *ok so this year we are going to do a school exchange with France*
girls: *can't wait! France is so romantic.*
boys:
Who's this Petain guy. It's like he laughs at the thought of a good old fashion -british- retreat.
I’m a girl and I want to visit Verdun...
@@kiplingwasafurry1108 it's about sterotypes. We, as girls with good taste, should take this with a grain of salt.
@@kiplingwasafurry1108 I am french and I'm wondering why ? Can you explain please ?
@@hardess-l-1093 I'm very interested in ww1 history so I think it would be a cool place to visit. PS also de Gaulle was captured there.
My grandpa told me that his grandpa fought at Verdun during WWI as a medic. He received an iron cross after the battle was over. It would be nice if he was still alive so he could tell his stories. Sadly he died in 1965. He also fought in WWII as a medic.
He was ahero then
You know it's gonna be a bad time when a new order is given and it's just to survive
"The French always surrender!"
The soldiers at Verdun: *Observe*
**french soldier in WWII at koufra** ima delay the entire Rommel offensive for 15 day with a single puny fort
Playing BF1 is like playing a history game.
Now, playing BF1 while blasting Sabaton on the other hand. That's a historical reenactment basically.
My neighbors listen to this...
whether they like it or not.
Ohhhhhhhh, haha!
I want them to give a concert in Mexico City...please , you ar the best group of rock metal
Bakhmut holds!
If you set "as the drum roll started on that day" as your alarm, you can wake up knowing for the next 300 days, you're gonna be as good as this song
This is what I’m listening when playing Verdun
Nice OST, isn't it?
This is my new favorite song!
T(h)ank you
@@Sabaton well it doesnt surprise me one bit to hear this grom a band that uses barbed wire to keep out the fans
I swear I could have this song on repeat for a whole 5 years and still not get sick of it
I might not be into this genre of music, but for what you are doing, getting a new generation to understand and remember what happened in these wars, I think so very highly of your art
Thanks a lot for your kind words
My hazelnut coffee creamer watched this video.
It is now French vanilla.
Want a croissant with it ?
French in WW2. WE SURRENDER!
French who fought at Verdun.
X | SHAME
Free french forces who continued the good fight and guerrilla warfare in occupied France.

I know right? Such a shame the civilian militias ended up doing more than the formal military
mostly because the french formal military stood no chance against the axis during that time, and they knew it. they were going to lose france and the effeil tower if they dared step up, and they would get violently wiped out also. surrendering was the smartest thing to do at this moment.
Humiliation is a much better alternative to what would’ve inevitably have been a far harsher occupation had they refused to surrender
**french force at koufra** ima make you know why the brits never let us do our own thing for too long
If you want to know basicly Rommel in Africa want to take the suez canal start a diversion offence in the whole brits défensif Line but try to flank them from the south where suposetly a fort "koufra" is hold by shit troop welp when he arrive and pass by the fort he get attaqued by the troop in the fort and what troop congratulations you just states a fight agains't the first free french légion and what ho half of the régiment are "fusiler marin" ? Welp your fuck't the rest are foreign légion with canon? Welp good Luck the french held for 15 day the entire Rommel force with a constant attaque for artillerie and aviation in the end the french force had order to retreat for the brits since the had gain enought Time for brits backups to arrive in a certains city call eilhalamein
I played on my mustard
Now its mustard gas
And that's when the dead men rise again
-_-, great reference
"Ils ne passeront pas"
Or PARRY THIS YOU FUCKING CASUAL
The same phrase (¡No pasarán!) was used in the Spanish civil war 20 years later against the Franco fascist army. Sadly, this time fascism won.
@@robertcrawshaw9978 ah yes tis but a scratch
0:35 when you stand up to fast
mmm, iron deficiency
This feels like an opening to a ww1 anime
Haha, you can say that again
Youjo Senki - An Alt Universe WW1 Anime comes to mind
i love this song so much. it simply sounds amazing.
R.I.P to everyone who died in World war 1
A song so good it needs two videos
I would rather fight in ww2 ten times than ww1 once.
You know not much about WW2 if you say so...((((
@@naddddin1 Sitting in a tank/car about to die quickyl is much better than sitting in a mud trench getting your ears blast off for a year and dying of sickness slowly
@@naddddin1 you must not know much about ww1 if you say so
@@naddddin1 all war is hell they say. But WWI is a special level of hell. I'd charge Normady beaches in the first wave before landing at Galipoli. I'd invade Finland in the winter before sitting in the trenches at Verdun. I'll fight at Monte Cassino before fighting at Passchendale.
WWII was hell for civilians.
My great grandfather have fought under Verdun. May the all heroes who died in this pointless war rest in peace.
We create music to honor heroes like him
To me, the line "fields of execution" really hits hard. It makes one realize just exactly how much death happened at the Battle of Verdun. Rest In Peace to those who lost their lives fighting for their respective countries!
