The funniest thing is Zorzal's reactors are probably not too far off from some Officer's reactions to this Truce that day. *_And those officers wonder why the common soldier got more recognition than they did during and after WWI_*
@@demonhelper007 ah, but that's WW2. This is WW1. Mind, a nuclear attack is suitably horrific, but 1) I don't recall sabaton doing a song explicitely about nukes, and 2) nukes display the technological superiority of our side of the gate, not the taste of hell that was WW1 combat. In a way, I'd say WW1 was worse than WW2 for the average soldier, because trench warfare was so new there were no safeguards to prevent disease.
This is one of the few songs that gets me emotional. The others are In Flanders Fields and Purple Heart. I usually play these songs on their respective day. Flanders on November 11th. Truce on December 24th-25th, and Purple Heart on Memorial Day. It’s kind of like a tradition of mine.
9:56 Zorzal doesn't understand that wars has become so destructive that honour has been thrown out the window as important for the military. What would happen if you tried to execute your entire army on that front and your enemy didn't? You would also face a revolt larger than any in the history of the planet, the soldiers joining the revolution. I would hope for him to see this comment because it would be so ridiculous for him not to understand how catastrophic that would be for military morale and motivation across your entire army.
i expected itami to jump at zorzal's neck and say "just dare to atack our side of the gate on christmas(while pina watches near)! the battles of alnus and italica would be nothing in comparison of what the empire will get as an answer of an atack on that day!"
Fantastic video. My favorite one of the bunch so far. Everyone's reactions weer so great. I like how Tuka wanted to sing along with the song. The character next to Itami which I'm assuming is Kurikowa, her reactions were so cute. If that was her, I always liked her character. She seemed so nice and kind to others. I also love that you included a little history about the Christmas Truce as well. Also, when I saw the title Christmas Truce Files, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was parodying the X-Files. Other than that, we are definitely brothers today. Hope you have a safe, warm and wonderful Merry Christmas.
Thing is.. I don't know what X-Files is! 😅 It's just something I came up with on the fly. And yes, that is indeed Mari Kurokawa! My second favourite character in GATE actually, have been looking for somewhere to fit her ever since.
Ah, my favorite Sabaton song/music video. 😊 Fun fact: the 134th Royal Saxon Regiment played a football game with the 2nd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. The Saxons won 3-2.
Let us never forget the bravery and commradery these soldiers faced during this very special day, Merry Christmas to you all and may Cheese stick be given a slap and coal
For a future video it would be nice to see their reactions to Sabaton’s Warsaw Uprising song or a video explaining the event. The Polish Scouts and resistance fighters definitely have a warrior spirit even Zorzal couldn’t complain about.
I'll say this. I firmly believe this was the most important event/battle of WWI. It shows everything we all want and that the darkness can only go so far before a light pierces.
yaaaay, what everyone was waiting! Thanks for the gift! n.n Good to have Mari! The soft view on the theme! Nice idea to put Zorzal and Piña together. The difference in their point of views. Cute Tuka. She just wanted to sing XD "Nooo! The piano!" And good final explanation! Thanks for a beautiful video!
Aight, we need to deal wiith zorzal, so my idea is put him in the Battle Of Paschendalle. The mud there was so deep during WWI soldiers sunk in it and died. It was basically a cold, muddy, waterlogged swamp.
this song shows even in the most brutal of wars of the dark side of humanity is shown but also the good side. the soldiers chatting playing and even having a drink and sharing gifts is the best thing to happen in that war. it is a shame they had to resume the fight but that one moment of both sides being brothers in arms and friends is a message. to appreciate everything you get in life no matter if its good or bad and to treat your fellow soldier or none soldier with respect and honour. may the souls of the soldiers and none soldiers alike that perished in that war rest well and may the gates of whatever afterlife you or they believed in welcome them with open arms. i salute those soldiers. may we remember them not as pawns in the war but as humans. people with hopes dreams and emotions. rest well brave soldiers. your fight is done. you have earned your rest and may the lessons you taught us never be forgotten
Maybe the Prince should spend a few months in the trenches. I would hope seeing something like the battle of the Somme would humble him a bit. I always imagined one of the top priorities would be to create educational documentaries for the Special Region, especially the royalty, so maybe translating a movie or documentary about WW1 showing just how horrible and destructive it was might deter aggression. Either that or a documentary about firebombed cities, Japan had a lot of those during WW2, so they should know just how destructive modern weapons could be if they had to be used against a city in the Special Region.
I randomly found this, and now really want it to come back. If nothing more, because I'm down bad for Mari. But the series is also incredibly good. The fact I have no idea who these characters are yet still understand their reactions is incredible. Please continue this
Loved the video. Very glad that I came across this channel and very much looking forward to some more Sabaton reactions. Some suggestions that I have are: No Bullets Fly, Hearts Of Iron, Attack of the Dead Men, Primo Victoria, Uprising, Shiroyama, Midway, The Last Battle, The Lost Battalion, Father, Soldier of Heaven and The Last Stand. (A lot of songs I know, but when you have a group as good as Sabaton very hard to make that list short lol) Once again very much love the work you're doing, great music plus great anime equals great channel. Merry Christams to and very excited for what comes next.
i was watching this while opening golf with friends and as soon as the sound at 0:28 began playing I got jumpscared. i actually nearly had a heart attack. because of fricking golf with friends. i am proud of myself for unconsciously making such an elaborate trap
I absolutely fricking LOVE this song! It's so amazing, I make it a tradition to listen to it on Christmas in particular (although I listen to it on a regular basis lol)
I know your wall paper says everything sabaton but if you can make a video about iron harvest that would be absolutely awesome especially since there is a scene where this actually happens it was pretty wholesome and I hope they can react to it but it's understandable if you don't want to also merry Christmas
Merry christmas to those who celebrate it Amazing vid as always. A recommendation: A reaction of a Price of a Mile or the Final Solution would be great
I am really curious to see their reaction on the song Father, or chemical warfare in general XD Great work, subbed for this one. This idea has great entertaining potential.
love the vids you have been making they are the best i have seen in terms of characters and how they react I will give some of my own personal favorites that you might include. -No bullets fly -Dreadnought -Aces in exile -Red Barron -Defense of Moscow -Reign of Terror hope you enjoy the suggestions
another minor nitpick I have is that the education portion in the vids that do have them feel rather short for the song they accompany. This one makes a bit more sense due to your time crunch from earlier posts, but it would be nice to have each bulletpoint fleshed out a little more. But, I will say that this is really starting to grow on me, and I look forward to 2023! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you, everyone else here, and your families. Here's hoping for better days ahead for us all.
More than 100,000 soldiers on the battlefields of Belgium and France reportedly laid down their arms and advanced into No Man’s Land to converse with the enemy. Soon the Christmas spirit took hold and German and British troops sang carols and exchanged gifts, some drank and smoked and a now-famous football match took place. But while the soldiers in the trenches had managed to do something not even the Church could do, it was not to last. Generals and national leaders would remove those troops who took part in the truce and ship them to other fronts, some of those men never returning home to see their loved ones again. But let this moment in time shine as a bright example of the spirit of Christmas and good will that man can show unto his fellow man. For while the shells, bombs and rattle of the machine gun echoed elsewhere on the Western Front, for just one brief moment, there was peace on Earth and Goodwill towards Man. Remember them my fellow historians and weebs.. Remember those who never returned from the mud and blood of the trenches of the Great War. Peace on Earth....and Goodwill towards all Man...
My favorite part is "When we celebrated Christmas we thought about our friends those who never made it home when the battle has commence!" That is heartwarming a FU-
To add a little more context, the men in the trenches were also young, away from home for the first time in their lives. So when the gifts arrived from home, it hit them that much harder. The winter weather also froze the trenches, letting the men walk on solid ground instead of ankle deep in mud. And on Christmas Eve, the allied trenches heard the other side singing Silent Night in the original German. The NCOs in the allied trenches then had their own men start singing in counterpoint, to keep morale up. The two trenches dueled each other in Christmas carols, and then later merged in commonly known songs. The Germans also decorated their trenches with small christmas trees, lit with candles and other things. During the truce, someone also set up a barber's chair, so that men from both sides could have their hair cut and beards trimmed for the first time in weeks if not months. Extra History had a really good episode on this, I highly recommend checking it out.
@@CommanderAlscrimp Some songs and video clips I've heard an seen show an talk about people who seem to just want to watch the whole world burn to ashes.
Noice work man! Keep it up, i like that information format in the last part, hope you'll keep that. Really wanna see some form of character development here especially zorzal. Hoping for more new characters aswell in next vid, anyways merry christmas as always!
YESSS!!! FINALLY!! I was smiling ear to ear when I saw the notification like hell and it's a great vid loved it! Merry Christmas to ya cus I don't celebrate Christmas here-
I’m not a big fan of gacha content, but you sir or Madam, bring a big smile to my face. Keep up the hard work and i will sure be to come back and watch more, please do one on Attero Dominatus
I'm glad to have put a smile on your face, my friend! And of course, I'll continue putting in as much work as I have ever since! Also, you can refer to me as Sir. 😉
And for the most part, all were Christian’s so that day was a sacred day to us. They asked for 1-3 days of peace among each other. That is how some of the WW1 commanders felt like Zorzal, that they stop fighting for a humble celebration. A hint of Peace in Hell was all they wanted.
@@coconuttydragoon3445 Oh I didn't know that, thanks for the fact! :> Edit: That's really cool, I'm glad every once in a while they got to bury the dead.
**finger hovering over the trigger to launch an AGM-114R9X at the back of Zorzal's head** I want to pull the trigger. Please just let me pull the trigger. I want to pull the trigger. I crave to pull the trigger. I dream of the day I get to pull the trigger. I cannot wait to pull the trigger. I can't take it anymore, I want to pull the trigger. I physically need to pull the trigger. Can I please pull the trigger? The trigger wants to be pulled. I'm itching to pull the trigger. I want...
Kind of wondering how you'd have them reacting to The Ballad of Bull or No Bullets Fly. Perhaps even having the No Bullets Fly animated story video used for that one. OH! Lady of the Dark would be a good one too.
_kinda_ feel like Blacklight should save LotD for when they want to get rid of Zorzal, tbh... _no damn way_ the dude could handle that! Yes, I know that Piña is in The Guard, but... let's be honest, _it's fucking Zorzal!!!_
Fantastic Video as always, Christmas is my Favorite time of year so this is perfect. And If I recall correctly, Attack of the Dead Men Is next, can't wait to see That. If I could put a Trollface here I would. But anyways, Merry Christmas. Lest We Forget.
On a cold winter day After many months on the battlefield And we were used to the violence Then all the cannons went silent And the snow fell Voices sang to me from no man's land We are all We are all We are all We are all friends! And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home Madness (madness) Oh, I remember the sadness (Sadness) We were hiding our tears (Hiding our tears) In a foreign land where we faced our fears (Faced our fears) We were soldiers (Soldiers) Carried the war on our shoulders (Shoulders) For our nations (Nations) Is that why we bury our friends? (Bury our friends) We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white Hear carols from the trenches We sing O Holy Night Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes A Christmas in the trenches A Christmas on the front far from home We were all We were all We were all We were all friends (Yes, we were friends) And today we're all brothers Tonight we're all friends A moment of peace in a war that never ends Today we're all brothers We drink and unite Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white A Christmas on the frontline We walk among our friends We don't think about tomorrow The battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas We thought about our friends Those who never made it home When the battle had commenced
Happy Holidays! If I may recommend Attack of the Dead Men for the next video, as it is uniquely both parts horrifying and showcases humanities willpower & determination even when faced with certain death.
Great video and I hope in the near future you can do gate reacts to captain price or some other video game characters because I would love to see them react to the og price because he's a badass of a carecter or woods and there is no gate reacts to captain price or frank woods and have a great Christmas
The war to end all wars ended nothing. But in moments of greatest darkness, light can poke through the abyss. This wonderful lapse in war was one such candle.
Zorzal what you see before that you abhor so much is what real true soldiers all truly desire and strive for deep within their souls. An that is the days where they stand not as foes but as brother, friends, and kin to one another. Lelei what you're no doubt feeling is the spirit of Christmas the spirit of Christ himself fill you with joy, and happiness just as those soldiers felt so long ago.
Alot of World War 1 soldiers dealt with Hell in the Trenches..... they never were the same when they come back home feeling more PTSD and Trauma... We Will never forget what they went through back in the First World War. Numbers. are from the deaths. of Brothers, Fathers, and Sons. Friends Or Foe.....They shall never be forgotten. may all soldiers in World War 1 and in World War 2 Rest n Peace.......May God bless on your souls you fought well. and now you shall live in Peace.
You should make them watch panzerkampf, I mainly wanna see piña's brother flip his lid when he sees the amount of troops and tanks the Germans have. Also keep er goin with the vids dude.
This is really beautiful, I saw other videos of gate reacting but they don't have the same quality as you. Can you show them the Winged Hussars or the Red Baron?
Also it would a funny interaction between op and the prince would go like: op: you remember your reaction to the soldiers prince: yeah those cowards op: well here is a list to shut you up *show list of 15 songs* prince: *silence*
Today, we're all brothers!
Merry Christmas
What is the name of the song in your entrance
Merry Christmas
Make zorzal tremble in fear by making him react to the Japanese in ww2 and there war crimes
@@johnnyshaver1450 man of war
The funniest thing is Zorzal's reactors are probably not too far off from some Officer's reactions to this Truce that day.
*_And those officers wonder why the common soldier got more recognition than they did during and after WWI_*
True though
*and why some nade misteriously fell into there dugout one day*
very true
I know and I want to beat up Zorzal so bad. If blacklight makes a dare for these people. Strangling dorsal will be the first thing I’ll do
his reactions are THE collective and accurate reactions of the commanders of the time
After this, zorzal needs to know the kind of hell those wars were. Melt his brain with Attack of the Dead Men I'd say.
Yes indeed
Just put him in a trench with his shiny bright red Armor and let him loose in pashendale
Yes my brothers
Attack of the dead men? Hell. Nuclear Attack.
@@demonhelper007 ah, but that's WW2. This is WW1. Mind, a nuclear attack is suitably horrific, but 1) I don't recall sabaton doing a song explicitely about nukes, and 2) nukes display the technological superiority of our side of the gate, not the taste of hell that was WW1 combat. In a way, I'd say WW1 was worse than WW2 for the average soldier, because trench warfare was so new there were no safeguards to prevent disease.
Zorzal: Why should I care about some peasants?
Sabaton: SILENCE
Here is before the state a ruler who does not respect the lives of those who are under him, and who would prefer only war.
This is one of the few songs that gets me emotional. The others are In Flanders Fields and Purple Heart. I usually play these songs on their respective day. Flanders on November 11th. Truce on December 24th-25th, and Purple Heart on Memorial Day. It’s kind of like a tradition of mine.
That's wildly interesting.. 🤔
The songs that get me are “price of a mile” and “no bullets fly”
Probably the most emotional one is “The Final Solution” the final question against the Jews
I would only add immortal soldier
I get emotional on soldier of heaven
9:56 Zorzal doesn't understand that wars has become so destructive that honour has been thrown out the window as important for the military.

i expected itami to jump at zorzal's neck and say "just dare to atack our side of the gate on christmas(while pina watches near)! the battles of alnus and italica would be nothing in comparison of what the empire will get as an answer of an atack on that day!"
To quote European Texas (Poland)
"We will make the battle of Conaco Fields look like a Fucking tea party!"

As that memorial said it best:
LEST . WE . FORGET
Even now, I can't help but shed a few tears every time I hear Christmas Truce. Truly a wonderfully done song.
For a future video it would be nice to see their reactions to Sabaton’s Warsaw Uprising song or a video explaining the event. The Polish Scouts and resistance fighters definitely have a warrior spirit even Zorzal couldn’t complain about.
Oh, yes, he could!
Far as he'd notice, "they were just Peasants!!! Wtf?"
What song is it? I don’t think I’ve listened to any Sabaton song by that name?
ua-cam.com/video/lzeNBRbWXpI/v-deo.htmlsi=DOcPw7VESrcUNRDw
It’s called Uprising
I'll say this. I firmly believe this was the most important event/battle of WWI.
It shows everything we all want and that the darkness can only go so far before a light pierces.
And then _immediately_ gets tamped out by Suits/Brass making the whole damn thing about "the commoners' loyalty" to them and theirs...
But when I need to remember the strength of spirit and invincibility, I always remember "Attack of the Dead"
yaaaay, what everyone was waiting! Thanks for the gift! n.n
Good to have Mari! The soft view on the theme!

That is how some of the WW1 commanders felt like Zorzal, that they stop fighting for a humble celebration. A hint of Peace in Hell was all they wanted.
@@coconuttydragoon3445 Ikr?
@@kiwi_studios7778 Yup. During WW1, not just Christmas, but certain times the two forces would ask for a truce but to bury the dead.
@@coconuttydragoon3445 Oh I didn't know that, thanks for the fact! :> Edit: That's really cool, I'm glad every once in a while they got to bury the dead.
@@kiwi_studios7778 Even in the land of death and destruction, they still found good Will among each other. A proof of humanity in my opinion.
Zorzal: Talking bad about WW1 soldiers on Christmas
Me: *Bl*at let me enjoy this or I will send you to the gulag*
Born to ruin! 😆
@@_blacklight. and I got an MG42 to solve this problem
Bruh let me join the firing
I can't wait for the reaction of Zorzal when they will react to No Bullets Fly. I know it's gonna be a fun time
Merry Christmas, and keep up the good work!
**finger hovering over the trigger to launch an AGM-114R9X at the back of Zorzal's head**
I want to pull the trigger. Please just let me pull the trigger. I want to pull the trigger. I crave to pull the trigger. I dream of the day I get to pull the trigger. I cannot wait to pull the trigger. I can't take it anymore, I want to pull the trigger. I physically need to pull the trigger. Can I please pull the trigger? The trigger wants to be pulled. I'm itching to pull the trigger. I want...
Go for it in fact I wanna join
At ease lad, Unless he talks shit about the soldiers' suffering then go for it
@@dustinadolfelisan9846 alright drill Sargent
This is High quality well done, even made angry with zorzal attitude.
Great video as always.
Merry Christmas.
Kind of wondering how you'd have them reacting to The Ballad of Bull or No Bullets Fly. Perhaps even having the No Bullets Fly animated story video used for that one. OH! Lady of the Dark would be a good one too.
_kinda_ feel like Blacklight should save LotD for when they want to get rid of Zorzal, tbh...
_no damn way_ the dude could handle that!
Yes, I know that Piña is in The Guard, but... let's be honest, _it's fucking Zorzal!!!_
somewhat a late comment but never the less Merry Christmas. Love all your vids and look forward to the future ones.
Merry Christmas to everyone and I wish you all a happy new year, also blacklight. Have a happy Christmas love your videos
Happy New Year! 🥳
@@_blacklight. when they gonna react to rorke's drift 🤔
(Suggestion)
Fantastic Video as always, Christmas is my Favorite time of year so this is perfect.
And If I recall correctly, Attack of the Dead Men Is next, can't wait to see That.
If I could put a Trollface here I would.
But anyways, Merry Christmas.
Lest We Forget.
Lest We Forget.
On a cold winter day
After many months on the battlefield
And we were used to the violence
Then all the cannons went silent
And the snow fell
Voices sang to me from no man's land
We are all
We are all
We are all
We are all friends!
And today we're all brothers
Tonight we're all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
Today we're all brothers
We drink and unite
Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white
Hear carols from the trenches
We sing O Holy Night
Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes
A Christmas in the trenches
A Christmas on the front far from home
Madness (madness)
Oh, I remember the sadness
(Sadness)
We were hiding our tears
(Hiding our tears)
In a foreign land where we faced our fears
(Faced our fears)
We were soldiers
(Soldiers)
Carried the war on our shoulders
(Shoulders)
For our nations
(Nations)
Is that why we bury our friends?
(Bury our friends)
We were all
We were all
We were all
We were all friends
(Yes, we were friends)
And today we're all brothers
Tonight we're all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
Today we're all brothers
We drink and unite
Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white
Hear carols from the trenches
We sing O Holy Night
Our guns laid to rest among snowflakes
A Christmas in the trenches
A Christmas on the front far from home
We were all
We were all
We were all
We were all friends
(Yes, we were friends)
And today we're all brothers
Tonight we're all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
Today we're all brothers
We drink and unite
Now Christmas has arrived and the snow turns the ground white
A Christmas on the frontline
We walk among our friends
We don't think about tomorrow
The battle will commence
When we celebrated Christmas
We thought about our friends
Those who never made it home
When the battle had commenced
On Christmas eve too... Nice job.
Zorzal: Why should I care about some peasants?
Joakim: SILENCE!
Happy Holidays! If I may recommend Attack of the Dead Men for the next video, as it is uniquely both parts horrifying and showcases humanities willpower & determination even when faced with certain death.
Beautiful work on this one, excellent reactions.
Mari: I didn't think that trench warfare was this bloody.
Winchester-Model 1897: Am I a joke to you?
Zorzal: You're lying!, That is Bullsh!t
Me: *uses yamato to end zorzal*
Great video and I hope in the near future you can do gate reacts to captain price or some other video game characters because I would love to see them react to the og price because he's a badass of a carecter or woods and there is no gate reacts to captain price or frank woods and have a great Christmas
Another great video. Magnificently done. May machine spirit great you a great time.
Such a great video true masterpiece even tho you just started like a week ago i really want you to make a reaction about the yamato
Pretty good video, a lifetime of war would be very interesting to see how they react
This is just perfect 👌Just like my first year anniversary
You will gonna have good none forgoten memories 😊
Thank you, SST! 😁
Is there are military video that can give zorzal PTSD? Put some sense in that thick skull.
Chills this video actually gave me chills well I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Early Squad where you at? And Merry Christmas!
and Merry Christmas to you as well
I think tuka would be that one person ugly crying while watching chrismas movies
I have heard nothing more true than this. 🤣
The war to end all wars ended nothing. But in moments of greatest darkness, light can poke through the abyss. This wonderful lapse in war was one such candle.
Ayy! Its also a good time to watch this video
That day was proof that even if we are enemies on other days... One day we'll put away our differences even if later we'll return to the fight
First!!!! Please let them react to attack of the dead men next
This is a Really good video! Keep going, you have talent!
Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas from Argentina 🇦🇷! 🎄🎆🎄
I sure will, my friend! Merry Christmas from Singapore! 😊🇸🇬🎄
Zorzal what you see before that you abhor so much is what real true soldiers all truly desire and strive for deep within their souls. An that is the days where they stand not as foes but as brother, friends, and kin to one another. Lelei what you're no doubt feeling is the spirit of Christmas the spirit of Christ himself fill you with joy, and happiness just as those soldiers felt so long ago.
For that moment, world war 1 hand these moments of peace.
Ah the Great Christmas Truce, lovely😁
Merry Christmas bro!
6:02 WW2 Takes it to 100 Levels higher
Nah I’m pretty sure those are only like 20 levels away
Merry Christmas my friend
A perfect video for a special holiday later/tomorrow. Happy holidays everyone.
This video: Teaches the group and is visually appealing
Mine: Bullshit
Alot of World War 1 soldiers dealt with Hell in the Trenches..... they never were the same when they come back home feeling more PTSD and Trauma... We Will never forget what they went through back in the First World War.
Numbers. are from the deaths. of Brothers, Fathers, and Sons.
Friends Or Foe.....They shall never be forgotten. may all soldiers in World War 1 and in World War 2 Rest n Peace.......May God bless on your souls you fought well. and now you shall live in Peace.
A good time for such a reaction
I was kinda hopping Rory to be here. Seeing how the god of war react to enemies becoming close friends for at least a day
Zorzal is fr the type of guy to cry when his mother doesn’t drive him to McDonald’s
1:59 - For many a generation afterward, Scenes like this would included in many depictions of hell.
that "aughhhhh" part reminded me about the 7 pending north Africa skins I have for the sky on fire skins bank
This song makes me cry, the one time of peace for the armies, yet war must go on. Its sad man
You should make them watch panzerkampf, I mainly wanna see piña's brother flip his lid when he sees the amount of troops and tanks the Germans have. Also keep er goin with the vids dude.
**christmas truce**
That soldier who was called crazy for taking a soccer ball to the war: ⚽️❓️
Urraaaaaa
And.....
🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
it is to be said that true honor is to not die for a war but to see its flaws and bring peace by connection not force, this is a lesson many forget
A legend and a wizard in one
This is really beautiful, I saw other videos of gate reacting but they don't have the same quality as you. Can you show them the Winged Hussars or the Red Baron?
Since the prince is so obsessed about good soldiers, let's have him react to hellfighters, devil's dogs and attack of the dead men.
Better yet, make him react to The Unkillable Soldier...
@@mercenarydelta7351 yeah, yeah that; also 40:1, death valley, resist and bite, to hell and back, 82nd all the way, race to the sea and many others.
Also it would a funny interaction between op and the prince would go like:
op: you remember your reaction to the soldiers
prince: yeah those cowards
op: well here is a list to shut you up
*show list of 15 songs*
prince: *silence*
"They dint wanna fight but they still fight"
It's called having an officer holding a gun to your head
