========= Inmate 4859 LYRICS ==========
The dawn of century, a boy born by a lake
Resettled from Karelia’s plains
Grown to a man in exile as the great war came
Unleashed it’s shadow on his world
Oh, no
Oh, no
Who knows his name?
Inmate in hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, who knows his name?
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, who hides behind 4859?
Outside help never came, decided to break free
The end of april -43,
Join the uprising, fight on the streets while hiding his rank
Takes command all while serving his country in need.
Sent to a prison, where the heroes are judged as traitors
Accused of treason by his own
Sentenced by countrymen under pressure of foreign influence
Men he once fought to free
Oh, no
Oh, no
We know his name!
Inmate in hell or a hero imprisoned?
Soldier in Auschwitz, we know his name!
Locked in a cell, waging war from the prison
Hiding in Auschwitz, he hides behind 4859!
White eagle
Blood of Heroes
In Heaven
Forever
Rest in Heaven
True Hero
========= Historic Fact ==========
Using the alias of Tomasz Serafinski, brave Polish soldier Witold Pilecki willingly entered Auschwitz to gather intelligence. He became Inmate 4859. Two years later, he fled from the concentration camp to share its atrocities with the world.

I'll admit I already knew about Witold when I heard this song - I have a close friend from Poland - but I'm very happy you guys decided to share his story, he is most certainly one who deserved to be honored and remembered.
And now that we're in Poland, I wonder, have you guys ever heard of Maj. Max Liedtke and Oblt. Albert Battel? Sure they were Wehrmacht, but their story is _well_ worth a read.
i never understand why when i learn about ppl like this my that are my countryman i always cry full out of pride
Thanks Sabaton, for helping me want to learn this heroe's name.
this is the fucking best! keep up the work sabaton
Love from norway
A true hero!
Song is much more powerfull when you know it's background.
Well done Sabaton!
Guy entered Auschwitz on purpose because no one believed what was happening there, collected secret documents and evidence, escaped, handed the documents to his government, wasn't believed, continued to fight in a war, and then was executed by USSR.
Thank you!
Thanks
@@iamgreatalwaysgreat8209 what
it's a little shame that Sabaton don't have more anti-soviet songs considering the fact that soviets were in some moments worse than nazis and stories like Katyn massacre should be great to write a song about. But they have a strong fanbase and profit in Russia so criticizing soviets is a death sentence for them I guess...
From what I remember russians were already pissed at songs like Wehrmacht so song about Katyn massacre would end up really badly for them which is sad.
@@bowwak5366 Well, winners write history.
So many of allied and soviet warcrimes and other bad things they did are forseen.

Here's a good one for the importance of music: I never heard of Witold until I heard this song, and then I wrote an essay about him for a competition here in Ireland. I won, ended up at the National Holocaust Memorial event in Dublin and got to meet our President, Michael D. Higgins. All because of Sabaton!!
That's actually impressive.
So Cool!
Congratulations!!!
Holy shit, congrats! Thank you for sharing his Story!
That must have been a hell of an essay. Well done.
This guy is one of the few men who should be talked about in a history class regardless of country or creed. He truly did something great and the fact he wasn't celebrated till after the union fell is a travesty.
I agree!!!
at least we have Sabaton to notify us about this story.
The sad thing is that even as a German that gets told every year how ashamed i should be of my country and the atrocities it committed
I never heart of this hero after at least 6 years of history class
@@lyriker9393 I feel ya man in America it isn't much better
@@blackheartedshamanjr.7457 I agree it really isn’t. They focus too much on the big picture, major political leaders, and generals, without actually looking at the separate stories of brave individuals
In my opinion this is by far the craziest story in the entire Sabaton discography. It's weird to me that his story isn't taught in schools
I find it amazing that sabaton is teaching people history, a lot of people from my country dont know anything about our own history. Three brazillian heroes? Most people here dont even know Brazil was in world war 2
yhea it is weird that they dont teach you about people who would die for the truth
The worst thing about it is that about Witold Pilecki even in Polish schools are meybe 5 words
The reason is Stalinist Russia...
Schools never teach such things unfortunately...
Not even universities.
In my country, we only do about political and social history.
We literally never talk about the wars and the battles our soldiers fought, where they fought, who and why they fought...
Military history isn't a thing in my country's schools.
Teens don't know about their ancestors and they never bother to learn. They don't care. It's sad...
“Sent to a prison, where the heroes are judged as traitors,
Accused of treason by his own,
Sentenced by countrymen, under pressure of foreign influence,
Men he once fought to free...”
That part gives me chills every time.

Greetings from Oświęcim
This man is Witold Pilecki
This absolute madman didn't even break sweat when communists pulled his nails out. He was smiling death in the face during the trial, despite knowing he's gonna get killed. All this because of concern for his wife.
Imagine... Being tortured, beaten, starved, having your nails pulled out and still keeping straight face and being worried about your loved one
Em? Polish is commies?
@@gunnroses9120 was. Between 1947 and 1989. We got fucked over by literally everyone in WWII and uncle Stalin took us as a war prize.
@@jakubw.2779 Wow, is it being better or worst?
@@gunnroses9120 what, now? Of course it's better now, however Our current government REALLY want to change that. It wasn't easy though. Communism left Our economy on its last legs. The recovery took like 15 years. 15 years to fully convert into free market democracy and capitalism. But even when the economy finally switched and started to bloom, communism left deep scar in Our society and mentality. It will take another few decades to fully heal
@@jakubw.2779 Hope ur country and countryman life a better and better life. We here just have same problem with commies, sadly its just started here. ಥ‿ಥ
As Joakim said in the History Episode about Witold, how come there is not a Hollywood blockbuster movie about this incredible hero?
Because it's further east than Germany and nobody cares about what is happening there unless it's about Russia. Shame.
I was thinking of posting about actual Hollywood-type films, and your post suggests now is the time. I am probably the #1 fan of Martin Kosleck and created a Facebook tribute to him. In the research, I've learned a number of sad points, one of which is that films that showed Resistance heroes in various countries often were suppressed from American public after WWII because they might foster sympathy for Soviets, similar to suppressing info about heroism & compassion from individuals on the Axis side. Kosleck portrayed especially vicious Nazis in many such films. He was a Jew and Gay, and he despised Nazis so much, he eagerly acted his nastiest as his contribution to their defeat. He had escaped a SS death order for treason when he came to North America, issued because he spoke against fascists while performing on stage & screen in Berlin. Some Jews in America condemned him and his few peers for taking on such roles, even criticizing off-screen great Fritz Lang. War is hell & more complex than we might know. Kosleck is a different kind of hero than these terrific Sabaton songs commemorate, but he risked his life and paid for his choices by never quite getting more recognition. If you think onscreen violence requires scenes of realistic torture, check out how effective this slightly-built actor gut-punches the viewer through voice & shadows & sounds without showing beatings, etc. And consider that real people did suffer at the hands of the monsters he portrayed.
@@byali4360 Mainly in the 80s and 90s, but even today, it's very common in Hollywood action movies, that us Germans or the Soviets are the bad guys. I don't blame them, Nazis did their best to be the prototype of a villain. But therefore, a Story were the Nazis AND the Soviets were the villains, shouldn't be a problem. But maybe you're still right, the hero does not fit into the typical Hollywood template. Sad.
Hollywood actually wanted to make a movie about him, but there was a catch. They wanted to make a jew out of him (he was christian), to show a story of heroic, brave jews. Beacuse of that, the family declined the propposition.
@@kermitthecreator24 Sorry to hear that. Some of the movies about resistance had adjusted details, partly because they were depicting living real people. They even included Germans who changed views or were working against the Reich all along. During the War, the effort was to win diverse support. I haven't noticed them being concerned about the faiths of the Resistance individuals. What a pointless & biased choice the movie people made!
Sabaton is probably one of if not the best bands out there right now

@@АлтайскийКазак I’m not actually vegan I couldn’t think of a name when creating the account so I chose this
This has to be one of the saddest Sabaton songs the guys have made. It's just so sad when you hear the lyrics, it gets even more sad when you learn more about it.
Honestly though. It's messed up that he brought proof but was not believed and was executed for it.
@@Nghting the Soviet aligned government probably already knew but didn’t care because the soviets were committing similar atrocities, he only endangered the stability of their polish puppet state. If there was a trial it was a show trial he was to be shot the second he walked in that door and it’s heartbreaking he is a hero of not only polish history but the world’s
Besides another Sabaton song dedicated to the 1944 Warsaw Uprising when brave Poles stood against German occupants
I think Far from the Fame is pretty close. Also mentioning authoritarian regimes ditching war heroes right away.
'Escaped in April 43'
Good lord, this man stayed in the Camp for 2 years, 7 months, and still had it in him to escape and keep fighting.
Gods bless you Witold, bless you 4859. I truly hope you have peace and whatever afterlife you desired.
Accidentally ran into a documentary about this man on tv and man that was a name I remembered forever. The story is amazing and this man was a literal embodiment of courage, intelligence, patriotism and perseverance. Glory to you Vitold Pilecki, may your name never be forgotten.
Good soul, brave heart. Can do nothing but salute him and may he rest in peace

Greetings from Oświęcim
Сейчас читаю книгу об этом человеке
That's a fact, that needs to be changed
he was a true hero just sad that he was killed by the sovjiet union for this (1947 he was arrested by the secret police on charges of working for "foreign imperialism" and, after , was executed in 1948)
being subjected to torture and a show trial
Witold Pilecki was a hero who DELIBERATELY got himself sent to Auschwitz in order to destroy it from within. While he didn't succeed, he organised a resistance movement inside the camp and managed to escape to bring information about it to the outside world. Sadly, he wasn't believed at the time, since his stories seemed exaggerated (and this wasn't an unreasonable response, little hard evidence of the camps' true purpose came to light before the last days of the war and even the people who were fighting the Axis couldn't believe the Nazis were THAT evil). The real tragedy is that after the war, the Polish Communist puppet government convicted him of "foreign imperialism" for working with the London-based Polish Government In Exile and executed him after a show trial. God Bless him, and may He rest in eternal joy and peace for his superhuman sacrifice.
Such a shame what happened to Witold. He was truly a hero. Love from England to our Polish heroes.

I think I know why no one mentioned him to you at school...
"Compared to this, Auschwitz was just a triffle"
- Captain Witold Pilecki said about the interrogations in a communist prison conducted by Józef Goldberg and his homies
“Get it all on record now - get the films -get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
And even like this,we have enough of those bastards

Hollywood wanted to make a movie about him.. But they wanted to make him a Jew! When his family protested, the idiots from LA scrapped the idea
There's a movie in the works at the moment call "Enemy of my Enemy" about Pilecki
The balls on this man, willingly going to auschwitz to start an underground resistance in a place thats as close to hell as we'll get, what a legend
Polish heroism is truly hard to believe until you discover enough of it. Then you start to wonder why other nations didn't measure up. I'm sometimes ashamed of my own country because we didn't do enough. I wish we did more to aid Poland.
@@reliantncc1864 The part that grinds my gears about history is the fact that if not for Stalin sticking his ugly nose in everything in Eastern Europe, Poland would likely have repulsed Germany in the initial invasion.
Were things bad for Poland? yes.
Would Poland have given up? Look at the song Uprising and try to tell me Polish citizens wouldn't fight to liberate their homeland.
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 Hm, I'm close to agreeing with you, but not quite. I don't think Poland stood a chance against Germany in the initial invasion. No one did. France had a far greater military than Poland, and they went down almost as fast. Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, even Britain couldn't stand up against the Wehrmacht.
But could Poland have risen up after their initial defeat and fought off Germany, say in 1944? Without Stalin, possibly.
@@reliantncc1864 Here's the thing: Belgium almost completely FUBAR'd Germany's war plans, by accident. Sabaton made a song about the group that did so, and it's from the same album as this song. Resist And Bite.
The reason the French lost is because they were still acting high and mighty from The Great War, so they had Victorious Winners Syndrome, where they basically just.......shat the bed in most ways when they were invaded.
Funny Mustache Man's Generals were saying not to press on with the invasion of France due to how heavily they took losses invading Poland, and that's with the USSR speeding up the thing by giving Poland the Spy TF2 "Surprise Buttsecks!" backstab.
The Poles are absolutely cracked, and halfway to batshit insane when somebody messes with them.
I am of the quite reasonable opinion that the reason the British Expeditionary Force failed in the initial France invasion is due to factors of how their tanks were designed, how the 30s had absolutely wreaked havoc on the British military budget, and a less severe case of Victorious Winners Syndrome due to the Great War as well.
Despite what the propaganda videos might show you (and I'm saying this as in the actual reels from the time, made in Germany itself.), most of the Wehrmacht was, in fact, Footsloggers (infantry). Flesh is quite soft, and wont stand up well against bullets. Especially a rapid firing of bullets from machinegun emplacements.
I'm getting a bit rambly at this point, so I'll just cut it here and say this: had Poland been left to their devices against the invading Wehrmacht, they would've had the chance to win, just by how fierce they will fight.
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 Belgium didn't come close to derailing Germany's invasion. They folded like a cheap suit. Sabaton's song referred to a single unit that (while certainly commendable) did nothing at all to stop or even slow down the German advance.
As for Poland, it was defeated before it began. Where are you getting this insane notion that Poland had a military that could possibly have stopped Germany? Look, I love Poland. There's no anti-Pole bias going on here. I have unlimited respect for their courage and determination. But courage doesn't turn a pointed stick into a tank. At best, there were two countries that could have stopped a German invasion on the ground while bordering Germany. Neither of them actually did border Germany, because they were the US and the USSR. So I ask again: where are you getting this?
Pilecky needs to be remembered, now and forever
He is remembered by us. We know his name. We know his story.

Thank you for that!
Dear Witold Pilecki,
I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt gratitude and admiration for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice during one of the darkest periods in history. Your unwavering commitment to the cause of justice and humanity is an inspiration to us all.
Your decision to voluntarily enter Auschwitz concentration camp, with the sole purpose of gathering crucial information and assisting the resistance, is a testament to your selflessness and heroism. Your reports from within the camp provided invaluable insights into the atrocities being committed, and your dedication to the resistance movement played a pivotal role in the fight against Nazi oppression.
Your actions serve as a shining example of bravery in the face of unimaginable adversity. Your legacy continues to remind us of the importance of standing up against tyranny and injustice, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
With deep gratitude, we honor your memory and the sacrifices you made for the greater good. Your courage and dedication will forever be remembered as a beacon of hope and resilience in the darkest of times.
Thank you, Witold Pilecki, for your selfless and heroic efforts.
Sincerely,
Sabaton Fans, the people you saved, and the entire world
The story of this song is truly disgusting. That being said I am thankful that this song sparked the interest in me to research this story. Sabaton truly is a amazing band not only for their music but also because they encourage others to learn about these significant historical events.

@@MysterWacht88Red Baron, Far From The Fame, and Soldier Of 3 Armies beg to differ. Though to be fair White Death didn't either
I think it's supposed to be that way. He was basically a spy, and he used an alias in Auschwitz. Plus, the Soviets basically tried to erase him. We might have never known his name.
That's the whole point and what makes the song even better
This isn’t my favorite Sabaton song musically, but it has my favorite story behind it by far. Don’t get me wrong everyone they sing about on this album is remarkable, but willingly entering a concentration camp and surviving AND escaping for the sake of saving your people is on a whole other level.

One of the breavest men in the world ‼️🙌🇵🇱❤️
Day 1 of listening to this song
I'm from Finland and believe my homeland was shafted in the second war. Still, I feel infinitely worse for Poland. This song gives me chills everytime
He died in a prison in Warsaw and was accused of treason
May he rest in peace for he has earned the title of the polish freedom fighter
My school is named after him
That's pretty sick.
They tried to erase him, in spite of him being a hero. But in the end…
We know his name.
This year I went to Poland as a holiday and we went to Auschwitz and at one point the tour guide was talking about some of the escapes in there and asked one simple question. Who has heard of WItold Pilecki and having heard this song and the Sabaton history video attached to it I was the only one from our group. Our tour guide was even impressed.
- My! How do you know?
- some Swedish guys sung about him...
this guy,is one of the best definitions of " hero " and being " human " what a legend
Day 3 of listening to this song
"I've been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy, than fear."
Witold Pilecki to prawdziwy bohater, i wzór do naśladowania. Kochał ojczyznę i oddał za nią życie. CZEŚĆ I CHWAŁA BOHATEROM...
“Men he once fought to free”
Shame it had to end that way, I’m gonna go visit his memorial one of these days, never forget.
as a pole, this hits hard
Poles do tend to hit hard.
This should be shown to everyone who says that Sabaton are na*is or support na*ism, imo
One of my favs, nice to see them all getting lyric videos! :D
Am I the only person in germany that asked himself:
"Why did we do so terrebil things to other people?"
Thats one of the sadest storys if ever heard about ww2!
Thanks for this Song!
Ur not the only one. There were no rules in ww2. While u did some bad stuff others did the same.
but wasn't witold pilecki arrested for treason and executed when nobody believed his stories?
@@ilyanwevers5784 the allies did not this shit in ww2. Germany and Japan. Maybe udssr? Idk
@@shallow_wind6743 USSR was on par with Germany.
It was a stain on humanity as a whole, because pre WW1 Germany was actually much accepting of Jews.
I started learning German because of this song, I wanted to learn more about Witold and his time in Auschwitz but there's a lot more in German so why the hell not.
More it made me want to look further into Auschwitz and the atrocities committed inside those fences, considering there were millions slaughtered there it was likely he wasn't the only person with a story like this.
my fucking chills have chills
We didn't know that was possible but HELL YEAH! 🤘🤘
@@Sabaton You make the best songs.
After read the lyrics, and watch the sabaton history episode of the song. The emotion that i feel everytime i hear this song is unbelievably.
I always will love sabaton for telling this stories and wonder why they are so hide, everyone should know the story of the inmate 4859.
Thank you very much for your words
Ironically, judges who send him for death sentence was all Jewish...
lmao that sucks
Respects to Poland from 🇨🇦. Cheers Sabaton, thank you for everything.
That piano intro will always be the second most badass intro Sabaton has ever done. (First obviously being To Hell and Back. Nothing will top that.)
PS. I'm starting to notice a pattern with the Heroes album having some of the best intros in Sabaton and some of the most unique in my opinion.
That piano and cello intro in The end of the war to end all wars is definitely up there in the top
Песня посвящена Витольду Пилецкому, организатору сопротивления в Освенциме.
Jestem dumny z bohaterów, którzy walczyli oraz przelali krew za moją Ojczyznę. Thank you Sabaton for showing a story that brave man 🇵🇱
Definitely one of the best Sabaton songs if not one of the best song in the world. Thank you Sabaton for sharing the story of this Hero
The change on the last chorus going from "Who knows his name" to "we know his name" is really one of the most powerful things in the history of music and sound itself
I have an idea for 2 songs about 3 slovaks heroes of both world wars. First could be about Milan Rastislav Štefánik. He was french general in WW1 and thanks to him Czechoslovakia was established. He died when the plane crashed in 1919. Second could be about 2 prisoners of Auschwitz. Alfred Wetzler and Rudolf Vrba. In 1944 they escaped from Auschwitz to send the message to the world about the horrors that were waged there in the Jews. I know you make 2 good songs about these heroes because you are best. 🇸🇰🎸🤘
damn you guys are the best, so heartbreaking and beautiful songs, I learned more from your songs than from history lessons about such wonderful people and events that you sing about, thanks for everything
Thank you for that!
When ask what my favourite WW2 hero is I always answer Witold. His courage is unmatched.
You are killing it with these lyric videos
Thanks Ikeda!
