The soldiers of the Christmas truce found out, that they actually had more in common with the poor bastard in the other trench, than with their own generals!
We sure want more Sabaton. If you haven't reacted to No Bullets Fly ( the animated STORY version) , you should. Other songs I recommend are The Price of a Mile (Live) , The Final Solution and Angels Calling (feat. Apocalyptica)
I think most people hearing this song have felt the same as you. I cried like a baby tbh. I had two great grandfathers and a great uncle serve and die in the trenches of the western front between 1915-1918 One wrote home to my great gran about their Xmas of 1914. He said it was surreal but heartwarming, many friendships were forged during these truces. They were all ordinary men, trying to survive during the most brutal war in history. Many soldiers from both sides kept in touch with each other or their families after the war. Death is the only victor in war 😢😢
These days it seems the arms manufacturers and developers plus the bankers are now standing with death as the only victors in war. RIP to every service member of all nations, past and present.
The female vocals in the credits was none other than Floor Jansen. I was bummed you didn't let the credits roll but understand you were feeling emotional
This part hit me especially hard: Madness, Oh I remember the sadness. We were hiding our tears. In a foreign land where we faced our fears, We were soldiers. Carried the war on our shoulders. For our nations. Is that why we bury our friends?
This really happened. Christmas day, 1914, troops fighting in the trenches put down their weapons and their differences. The enemy and the friend, drinking and singing together.
Bro this beautiful voice on the ending credit is our goddess Valkyrie Mrs. Floor Jansen. This is such a masterpiece song. I cried when i listening this.
Dude, great reaction. It's a hell of song about an amazing story in the middle of hell. If it doesn't stir up feelings I don't think you're paying attention.
Good job , FYI : the guy blown up in the beginning and 1st one outta the bunker is there drummer Hannes Van Dahl the husband of Floor Jansen from Nightwish and the voice at the ending credits is Floor
This,to me,and Fairytale of New York are the two best Christmas songs ever. I grew up listening to the classics but I could listen to this song 20 times and choke up every time. This isnt "just a song".It was a real thing and it happened on December 24, 1914. Christmas trees,football,and all of it. The truce lasted two days and when it was over many of the soldiers left the battlefield or were transfered to another place.Some were shot immediaately because they refused to fight any longer. RIP to all three nationalities that died or were punished that day. ***People keep forgetting that it wasnt just the Germans and the British. French soldiers were there and in it as well.
That's why Sabaton do it Bro, people to remember the peoples that fall and lived thru the Hell called war......Here in Europe especially there is no country that is not affected by centuries of wars and deaths........Sabaton are unique band that is keeping the pride and the memory for those people alive still today Respect from Bulgaria
Cliff bro. I understand as an artist when you are chasing the muse you have a night or two of lil to no sleep now n then. Not getting enough sleep (at least for me) is the easiest way to cause a panic attack. I am a new fan of Sabaton myself I'll hit your IG.
SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) is a real tear jerker, it has subtitles (they sing in swedish). It is from the perspective of the individual soldier, the english version is the perspective of the war itself.
I cried the first time I heard it. My grandfather and his brothers fought in war. It was hard to find out what happened to one or two of them. My grandfather naturally didn't want to talk about it. Sabaton have done a fantastic job here.
Probably the single best message in 2021 of humanity prevailing in the darkest hours. Remember at the end of the day we can be as different as nature will allow, but we can all find common cause in our humanity and love for our fellow man regardless of opinions and beliefs.
Hi yes please more sabaton. You just show your heart NO need to apolygize for the way you feel and react. This just shows that you are a good hearted human so Thank you friend ❤️
The 1914 Christmas Truce between British Soldiers and German Soldiers is absolutely true. In 1914 here in England in the County that I live in had there own Regiment called the Hertfordshire Regiment, and the 1st Battalion of the Hertfordshire Regiment was involved in the Christmas Truce in no man's land in 1914, the Football that was used in the Christmas Truce of 1914 came from a British Soldier from the London Irish Regiment which is still around today and the Regiment is still part of the British Army. The actual Football is in the London Irish Regiment Museum at there Barracks in London, the Football is one of the Regiment's most prized possessions. The Hertfordshire Regiment does not exist anymore and my local Regiment is the Royal Anglian Regiment. The Christmas Truce is one of the most incredible events in WW1 it is part of the UK and Germany's history that both countries share.💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Having watched the video--still love it. The thing I love most about this music video in particular is how it hits everything. It has a positive message but it doesn't shy away from the fact that the meat grinder is gonna go full steam the next day, just like how they show the bodies dead center of the video while the scene is at its peak. I was also pleased with your reaction when Hannes finally climbs up out of the trench for the first time--like, no, oh my God man don't do it, that's a death sentence, and the guy behind him is trying to call him back. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Also--take care of yourself. Sabaton goes for some really dark subjects. No need to burn yourself out just for the views or whatever. I love the videos but just make sure you don't do it in a way that actually messes you up.
If this hits hard, the song En Livstid I Krig hits harder imo. Its in Swedish but has english subtitles, theres also an english version but the swedish one is much more emotional. If you decide to watch it, watch the live from Gothenburg.
Here is the link (th-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/w-d-xo.html) but make sure the CC are turned on as the song is in Swedish. This song as a vet really captures all the emotions of those of us who have seen war and those left behind to worry and wait for a return.
It's a beautiful song that reminds us that we are all have more in common than differences. I wished everyone would want "peace" rather than "winning". Sorry this song hits you hard. I hope you're ok, Cliff. We need to listen to happy, hopeful or fun songs... Gigi De Lana - "Fly me to the moon" or ABBA - "Little Things" (from their new album after 43 years, it's a Christmas song and they're awesome)
You asked for a Sabaton rabbit hole... :-) Here you go! SABATON - The Red Baron (Live - The Great Tour - Berlin) SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)
All true , the cross is still there in the fields of Ypres in France , Floor Jansen from Nightwish does the outro , she is married to the Sabaton drummer
Always up for some more Sabaton. This one is a tough one since they do such a great job of bringing the emotion of this amazing moment of humanity. Another great story of humanity and a great song as well is the animated video for No Bullets Fly.
I'd love to know the man that took the step first into no man's land, his mindset must of been pure love. It's unthinkable the amount of rifles, machine guns and sniper rifles on that one person stepping out, and not one opened fire. Not one person in the opposing trench wanted to kill, nor in his own. Lions led by donkeys, and unfortunately it's the exact same to this day. Sabaton just kick ass in all aspects and more, everything is just so tasty, brings each and every story to life without a doubt! I'd recommend 3 more sabaton songs: "Wolfpack" "Dreadnought" and "Father", Good tunes lol
What an Amazing Christmas song by SABATON. The lyrics and the music inspire you. And the video. It's also a piece of history. You can learn a lot. It's very emotional😪 And at the end the voice of Floor Jansen⭐ from NIGHTWISH makes it extra beautiful💫This is a Gift for Christmas ☃️🎄🕊 We are all..... We are all..... We are all..... We are all..... FRIENDS 🤝🤝 For me the Christmas song of the year 2021....⭐ A little PEACE✌ and Love ❤ for Everyone🌹 Thank you this was AMAZING. Love from The Netherlands ❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️
Their messages are stories often of ordinary people who went through great events not of their own making and the emotions and experience they endured.They are the best teachers of history as opposed to some old dusty book, here you see the humanity at least for a little while, rise above the insanity. All these men had one thing in common, they all wanted to be home with family and friends to celebrate the Holidays, instead they were stuck in the frozen mud and cold trenches trying to find some meaning to the insanity around them. Sadly this never happened again as the generals made sure of that and the War went on for another 4 years at this pace, 18th century tactics against 20th century weapons, the slaughter was brutal but those that survived were often scarred for the rest of their lives. As a vet the lines we carry our nation on our shoulders and think of friends who never get to celebrate Christmas really hit home, I think of fallen buddies who hopefully are at peace and of those of us who get to celebrate the Holidays while carrying the insanity forward instead of our humanity. 11/11 Lest We Forget...sadly many have and never will remember, but thanks to Sabaton these people will be remembered.
No matter how beautiful this moment was, I wonder how much toll it took. Before, there was a faceless enemy, and that keeps you going. But now, you're killing people you know and like. I think it made the war that much harder.
@@jessicakoster2543 there's a reason that in every war, every military, has painted their enemies as not human. It's way easier to shoot at somebody when you don't think about the fact that they are in the same position as you. I would not be surprised if the people who partook in this truce, suffered much greater trauma than those who didn't
@@zeallust8542 I was thinking the exact same thing. I read somewhere in the comments, that some of the soldiers couldn't fight anymore and had to be transferred. I wish we could ask them if it was worth it, the Christmas truce. I think it might haven been a curse in disguise. I know it would break me.
@@jessicakoster2543 It would break us all. But at the end of the day, i think thats a good thing. War is political, humans on the field are humans on the field. Regardless of side, its the people above them forcing them to shoot each other.
As usual, they put more into their songs than a lot of history shows put in a 30 min episode. If you want a slightly different style, look at Dead Men or Night Witches... they are just as powerful.
Grandgrandpa here. Animals hunting if de are hungry. De are full, everything go to somebody. Animals never have a Ware- because de are clever. Everybody was looking in the Eyes from dad Soldiers -- think sharply before you start a Ware ! Otto von Bismarck.
You should take a look attack the Attack of the dead men by them. Also You should look at the fallen and the brave by Dave Carroll. Who is a smaller artiest.
This hits home too, as it is a true story. To brighten your day, Diana Ankudinova had a fantastic performance on Saturday on "the show must go on" Performing a Russian pop song from the 90's (original artist Linda) - Crow not sure if it is up on her YT yet, but the TV show have posted and there is one YT channel who uploaded with English subtitle posted today. This is what I have picked up in comments on YT by Russians who also write their comments in English. So Cliff, take care and get some good rest
You thought about the People who went through this Shit. This is the Message, this is what we NEED to hear about War. It is not Glory and Victory. It is a bittersweet grasp for Humanity like this Song, a painful Trauma like 'To Hell and Back' , it is self-sacrifice like in 'The last stand' or a suprising act of kindness from enemies like in 'No bullets fly'. It is al this and much much more, buried under Miles of Pain and Death.
You should watch the movie, "Joyouex (sic) Noel". It talks about the Christmas Truce. I've spent many Christmas Holidays on deployments or Active Duty. Sabaton is great.
There is an Actual cross that was erected in 1994 on the site of the Football match to celebrate those Brave British and German Soldiers who took part of the Christmas Truce in 1914. It was erected in 1994 to celebrate exactly 80 years since the Christmas Truce. The real cross is still there today and it is very moving. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
The Final Solution is imo their absolute darkest song, and about the most evil and inhumane sequence through modern human history, the holocaust. But it's just as delicate and utter brilliance music craftmanship. I wont listen on it anytime soon since it affected me deeply, both lyricwise and the haunting melody, it just simply wouldn't leave my head. Typically everytime I showered, or several times a day. There are people nowadays, generations that doesn't know about cruelty or have been raised without any threats or worries from war. Taking freedom and rights for granted. It's a horrible mistake for people and humanity to forget and not know our history. Cause soon, it'll be trivialized, met with scepsism and denial. Which is becoming more and more common in several nation populations, spreading like a desease, the ignorance. Tons of respect man to your reaction and thoughts about this video. And great upcoming christmas wishes.
A song I really love is to Hell and back. It's also on the heavier side as it deals with PTSD. Other great songs are: Defence of Moscow (A cover of a song made by russian musician, Radio Tapok), Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The lost battalion. Two great live performances are "En Livstid i Krig" (The official live version from The Great Tour in Gothenburg, the song is in Swedish but you can turn English captions on, which I highly recommend.) "40:1 Live in Poland 2010" (Official live video from Woodstock Poland)
1914...WW1 was waging and on a lone battle field at the eve of christmas...a single solider left his trench in a sign of peace and united the two factions for one single day if that isn't a christmas miracle, I do not know what is there is an actual cross marker at that battlefield that reads: 1914, christmas truce, 1999...85 years, lest we forget
The wooden cross is actually a real memorial you can visit in france, the one in the video is just a (very good) replica since they filmed in the Czech republic.
I like and subscribe for any Sabaton react. Do more Sabaton. HOWEVER: A special request. Please do a combo react to "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by the Clancy Brothers, and then Cliffs of Gallipoli by Sabaton. It's an unusual request but I've never seen ANYONE do this before.
This Ctually happened in 1914 after the pope called for a truce that was patiently ignored by all governments, however the soldiers did have a unofficial truce. It was ordered not to happen again after this in the war.
Lovebites is a new band from Japan who have taken the torch from Maiden, Priest, Metallica, and Slayer. They have two of the best guitarists and layered it with am amazing vocalist. You have to check out this ALL FEMALE band who sing in English and shred like crazy. Please react to "Holy War" live th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Yeah I know. I'm telling you... Sabaton won't. They don't strike peps. Maybe 'cause they are Swedish or maybe because they love their fans online
OK since you dont take requests through Instagram, Check out this cello player, she is amazing. Heres a cello battle...Tina Guo vs. Peter Pejtsik Cello Battle - HAVASI Symphonic Arena Show Heres her playing an original song with the singer from System of a Down on vocals... Tina Guo - Moonhearts in Space Official Music Video ft. Serj Tankian Heres she is joining Sabaton on stage to sit in on one of their songs... Sabaton - Swedish Pagans - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 I copied the titles of the videos and pasted them above to make it easier for you to get to exactly the right video. Thanks Cliff.
there is an advertisement of a chocolate, in which they made the publicity with this historical fact, it is done so well that it seems the part of a movie, I advise you to make a reaction, I would link you to the video but youtube would probably delete the comment
Well mate I just watched You reacting to Bo Burnham few times and now this. You are a good people. If You can, do me a solid watch Sabaton 40:1 and Uprising, just react to recordings from Woodstock (both are on Swedish Empire Tour DVD). Bonus point for wversion with anthem ^^
3 ปีที่แล้ว
10 million soldiers died in WW1 and many millions of horses to...
You have to react to this one: th-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/w-d-xo.html Its in Swedish, but there are captions. Its the perspective from a solider in the 30 year war. The audience is crazy! The band rocks! In my hometown of Gothenburg 🔥🔥🔥 You wont be disapointed!
the Sabbath sings about historical events. And I show the brutal truth about what happened. It does not soften the message. Personally, I recommend you to watch the music videos - 40.1 - Uprising - inmate 4859
I always thought that Sabaton had lore, like, there was Sparta, Steel commanders, and The Last Stand. The three of those are knights, right? Or is Steel Commanders not a knight?
Dude...!! You gotta react to "No Bullets Fly" (Animated story).. and Watch the whole story... (I'm a grown man, and I cried like a bitch first time I watched their story, Charlie & Franz..)... Please, PLEASE React to "NO BULLETS FLY" (Animated story)... Please dude, 🤘😈🤘
dont gave metors ideas xd and yes more sabaton, cause sabaton is best history teaching story telling history metal band out there u dont get that in schools
Do yourself a favour and watch the outro. Or just listen. Your Valkyrie goddess doing Valkyrie goddess singing. The blond guy injured by the grenade is Floor’s husband and Sabaton drummer……

Well said!
Which is why next Christmas the Artillery didn’t get Christmas off
@@Jadguy24 Sad. Truly sad.
Specially considering what the what the war was about...
@@matsv201 Una guerra de agresión, pocas veces, sino nunca, tiene justificación...
We sure want more Sabaton. If you haven't reacted to No Bullets Fly ( the animated STORY version) , you should. Other songs I recommend are The Price of a Mile (Live) , The Final Solution and Angels Calling (feat. Apocalyptica)
God now that's a list of emotional songs they got but so good
Ensure to do the FULL version of the animated story. And also the full animated version of night witches is good.
What this guy said. Including night witches the animated. Add attack of the dead men.
No Bullets Fly Please!!
I think most people hearing this song have felt the same as you. I cried like a baby tbh.
I had two great grandfathers and a great uncle serve and die in the trenches of the western front between 1915-1918
One wrote home to my great gran about their Xmas of 1914.
He said it was surreal but heartwarming, many friendships were forged during these truces. They were all ordinary men, trying to survive during the most brutal war in history.
Many soldiers from both sides kept in touch with each other or their families after the war.
Death is the only victor in war 😢😢
Beautifully put. It's true though the only real Victor in war is death.
Cierto...
These days it seems the arms manufacturers and developers plus the bankers are now standing with death as the only victors in war.
RIP to every service member of all nations, past and present.
i dont remember where but i've read somewhere that War does not determine a winner only a survivor ... lest we forget 🫡
There's a historical account of the fighting stopping for Christmas time in WW1, sabatons songs are usually based off historical points
They are amazing
The female vocals in the credits was none other than Floor Jansen. I was bummed you didn't let the credits roll but understand you were feeling emotional
This part hit me especially hard:
Madness,
Oh I remember the sadness.
We were hiding our tears.
In a foreign land where we faced our fears,
We were soldiers.
Carried the war on our shoulders.
For our nations.
Is that why we bury our friends?
This really happened. Christmas day, 1914, troops fighting in the trenches put down their weapons and their differences. The enemy and the friend, drinking and singing together.
From Sabaton; Winged Hussars, Night Witches, Carolus rex. So many good stories and songs. Live versions are excellent as well.
Night witches is my personal favorite
my favorite song by them is The price of a mile.
He didnt know Floor sang the outro , if he knew he wouldn't have cut it , he loves Floor like we all do .
Yeah i am getting angry all skip that part WTH. well i guess it to bad for them. It just sad! .
Yeah, it sucks but on the other hand, panic attacks are no joke either.
Bro this beautiful voice on the ending credit is our goddess Valkyrie Mrs. Floor Jansen. This is such a masterpiece song. I cried when i listening this.
Dude, great reaction. It's a hell of song about an amazing story in the middle of hell. If it doesn't stir up feelings I don't think you're paying attention.
Gave me anxiety thinking about humanity’s past. Definitely caught me off guard 🙏
Dude, I did 2 tours overseas. Even I tear up on this masterpiece. This music video can crack even the hardest.
I cried like a baby first time I heard this. The soldiers just decided to not fight through Christmas and that's a real miracle
Night witches and No bullets fly (animated story video) is so good!
Lost in this is the band members did a good job acting their roles and the end vocals by Mrs Van Dahl are gorgeous. Well done all the way around.
The most beautiful song in the world is En livstid i krig (live in Gothenburg). I promise tears and goosebumps.
This video/song really kicks you in the feels... And yhis moment in was rea inl history, and that gives me a hope for humanity...
Good job , FYI : the guy blown up in the beginning and 1st one outta the
bunker is there drummer Hannes Van Dahl the husband of Floor Jansen
from Nightwish and the voice at the ending credits is Floor

I always cry when i hear this. Its so good. I just sit and think about everything you said.
When you said, "We are all human." You are right, and my grandpa taught me these words, "We all bleed the same color."
Not only great musicians, but also pretty good actors! ...please react to "Attack of the dead men!"
Today we're all brothers, tonight we're all friends.
SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) is a real tear jerker, it has subtitles (they sing in swedish). It is from the perspective of the individual soldier, the english version is the perspective of the war itself.

I cried the first time I heard it. My grandfather and his brothers fought in war. It was hard to find out what happened to one or two of them. My grandfather naturally didn't want to talk about it. Sabaton have done a fantastic job here.

I had goosebumps from this xx its amazing storytelling in such a short amount of time xx this is based on real events xx
Without the Outro from Floor?🤔
another tear making moment for me..

@@zeallust8542 I was thinking the exact same thing. I read somewhere in the comments, that some of the soldiers couldn't fight anymore and had to be transferred.
I wish we could ask them if it was worth it, the Christmas truce.
I think it might haven been a curse in disguise.
I know it would break me.
@@jessicakoster2543 It would break us all. But at the end of the day, i think thats a good thing. War is political, humans on the field are humans on the field. Regardless of side, its the people above them forcing them to shoot each other.
As usual, they put more into their songs than a lot of history shows put in a 30 min episode. If you want a slightly different style, look at Dead Men or Night Witches... they are just as powerful.
PS, Sabaton, like Voiceplay, has no issue with copywrite and they will not claim it on you. I know many reactors who forget to pause totally.
You should read about the history of the song. They sing about what actuality happened in WWI! Look it up!
I highly recommend you watch Extra Crefits video on the Christmas truce.
Sabaton cliffs of Gallipoli is a really good song
War are aweful and if we all have more panikattacks thinking about them the world may become a better place
...
An estimated 17 million people died during the First World War, including 9 million soldiers. Thank you for your great reaction.
Grandgrandpa here. Animals hunting if de are hungry. De are full, everything go to somebody. Animals never have a Ware- because de are clever. Everybody was looking in the Eyes from dad Soldiers -- think sharply before you start a Ware ! Otto von Bismarck.
You should take a look attack the Attack of the dead men by them. Also You should look at the fallen and the brave by Dave Carroll. Who is a smaller artiest.
This hits home too, as it is a true story. To brighten your day, Diana Ankudinova had a fantastic performance on Saturday on "the show must go on" Performing a Russian pop song from the 90's (original artist Linda) - Crow not sure if it is up on her YT yet, but the TV show have posted and there is one YT channel who uploaded with English subtitle posted today. This is what I have picked up in comments on YT by Russians who also write their comments in English. So Cliff, take care and get some good rest
You missed Floor...she sings the outro.
You thought about the People who went through this Shit. This is the Message, this is what we NEED to hear about War. It is not Glory and Victory. It is a bittersweet grasp for Humanity like this Song, a painful Trauma like 'To Hell and Back' , it is self-sacrifice like in 'The last stand' or a suprising act of kindness from enemies like in 'No bullets fly'. It is al this and much much more, buried under Miles of Pain and Death.
And a Hug from me to everyone who feels this Pain. You deserve this and more and are not alone.
You should watch the movie, "Joyouex (sic) Noel". It talks about the Christmas Truce. I've spent many Christmas Holidays on deployments or Active Duty. Sabaton is great.
There is an Actual cross that was erected in 1994 on the site of the Football match to celebrate those Brave British and German Soldiers who took part of the Christmas Truce in 1914. It was erected in 1994 to celebrate exactly 80 years since the Christmas Truce. The real cross is still there today and it is very moving. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Girls: I can't believe he didn't cry during Titanic! Do boys have emotions?

The Final Solution is imo their absolute darkest song, and about the most evil and inhumane sequence through modern human history, the holocaust. But it's just as delicate and utter brilliance music craftmanship. I wont listen on it anytime soon since it affected me deeply, both lyricwise and the haunting melody, it just simply wouldn't leave my head. Typically everytime I showered, or several times a day.
There are people nowadays, generations that doesn't know about cruelty or have been raised without any threats or worries from war. Taking freedom and rights for granted. It's a horrible mistake for people and humanity to forget and not know our history.
Cause soon, it'll be trivialized, met with scepsism and denial. Which is becoming more and more common in several nation populations, spreading like a desease, the ignorance.
Tons of respect man to your reaction and thoughts about this video.
And great upcoming christmas wishes.
A song I really love is to Hell and back. It's also on the heavier side as it deals with PTSD. Other great songs are: Defence of Moscow (A cover of a song made by russian musician, Radio Tapok), Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The lost battalion.
Two great live performances are "En Livstid i Krig" (The official live version from The Great Tour in Gothenburg, the song is in Swedish but you can turn English captions on, which I highly recommend.) "40:1 Live in Poland 2010" (Official live video from Woodstock Poland)
The war of brothers.
364 days of war
1 day of brotherhood
On the day of our Lord.
Please do a reaction on 1916 with Sabaton ❤

1914...WW1 was waging and on a lone battle field at the eve of christmas...a single solider left his trench in a sign of peace and united the two factions for one single day
if that isn't a christmas miracle, I do not know what is
there is an actual cross marker at that battlefield that reads: 1914, christmas truce, 1999...85 years, lest we forget
The “Christmas Truce” really happened in history in 1914.
WW1
Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of Sabaton and she’s singing at the end…
The wooden cross is actually a real memorial you can visit in france, the one in the video is just a (very good) replica since they filmed in the Czech republic.
the cross is in belgium, near flanders ;)
@@miniadler For something I picked up "on the side" a while ago I was close^^
I like and subscribe for any Sabaton react. Do more Sabaton. HOWEVER: A special request. Please do a combo react to "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by the Clancy Brothers, and then Cliffs of Gallipoli by Sabaton. It's an unusual request but I've never seen ANYONE do this before.
This is like the hard core version of "stop the Calvery"
I also have anxiety attacks when I see the shitty things humans do to one another.
And how far did we come since 1914???? Just more advanced weapons
Sad world
This Ctually happened in 1914 after the pope called for a truce that was patiently ignored by all governments, however the soldiers did have a unofficial truce. It was ordered not to happen again after this in the war.

Reminds us that Freedom isn't free. Lest We Forget!
no vid, but gotta do Wolfpack, im a war nut, but even i had google the meaning, its amazing
Sabaton live from Wacken Great war
War is so shitty that a few hours of peace will be remembered forever.... and the humans are so BAD that we didn´t learn anything from this!
U shud have listened to the end. Floors vocals r phenomenal.
Men at both end of a bayonet are workers.
Lovebites is a new band from Japan who have taken the torch from Maiden, Priest, Metallica, and Slayer. They have two of the best guitarists and layered it with am amazing vocalist. You have to check out this ALL FEMALE band who sing in English and shred like crazy. Please react to "Holy War" live th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
i know this is a few weeks ago now, but dude! are you alright??
Yeah I’m good! Song hit me deep 🙏
Sabaton do not strike on copyright. They love peps like you
It’s not always them. It is TH-cam and record labels. Trust me, I’ve had a few of their videos blocked 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial YT doesn't claim anything.
There is a clause in the law, forget the name, yt are free from DMCAs
Their label won't.
Check other reactions. Sabaton usually comment
@@Richie8406 my friend. I’ve done 10+ reactions to their content. Some videos are 100% copyright restricted.
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Yeah I know. I'm telling you... Sabaton won't. They don't strike peps.
Maybe 'cause they are Swedish or maybe because they love their fans online
Has anyone noticed that the comment fonts have gotten tiny? They werent before a month orr so ago.
OK since you dont take requests through Instagram, Check out this cello player, she is amazing. Heres a cello battle...Tina Guo vs. Peter Pejtsik Cello Battle - HAVASI Symphonic Arena Show Heres her playing an original song with the singer from System of a Down on vocals... Tina Guo - Moonhearts in Space Official Music Video ft. Serj Tankian Heres she is joining Sabaton on stage to sit in on one of their songs... Sabaton - Swedish Pagans - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 I copied the titles of the videos and pasted them above to make it easier for you to get to exactly the right video. Thanks Cliff.
there is an advertisement of a chocolate, in which they made the publicity with this historical fact, it is done so well that it seems the part of a movie, I advise you to make a reaction, I would link you to the video but youtube would probably delete the comment
You have a real movie about that, Joyeux Nöel, a British, French and German collaboration from 2005
Well mate I just watched You reacting to Bo Burnham few times and now this.
You are a good people.
If You can, do me a solid watch Sabaton 40:1 and Uprising, just react to recordings from Woodstock (both are on Swedish Empire Tour DVD).
Bonus point for wversion with anthem ^^
10 million soldiers died in WW1 and many millions of horses to...
If only it was just a song.
You have to react to this one:
th-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/w-d-xo.html
Its in Swedish, but there are captions. Its the perspective from a solider in the 30 year war.
The audience is crazy! The band rocks! In my hometown of Gothenburg 🔥🔥🔥
You wont be disapointed!
the Sabbath sings about historical events. And I show the brutal truth about what happened. It does not soften the message. Personally, I recommend you to watch the music videos - 40.1 - Uprising - inmate 4859
I always thought that Sabaton had lore, like, there was Sparta, Steel commanders, and The Last Stand. The three of those are knights, right? Or is Steel Commanders not a knight?
Fun fact. The Germans won the soccer match that day
Dude...!! You gotta react to "No Bullets Fly" (Animated story).. and Watch the whole story... (I'm a grown man, and I cried like a bitch first time I watched their story, Charlie & Franz..)... Please, PLEASE React to "NO BULLETS FLY" (Animated story)... Please dude, 🤘😈🤘
dont gave metors ideas xd and yes more sabaton, cause sabaton is best history teaching story telling history metal band out there u dont get that in schools
Do yourself a favour and watch the outro. Or just listen. Your Valkyrie goddess doing Valkyrie goddess singing. The blond guy injured by the grenade is Floor’s husband and Sabaton drummer……
