@@That1Polish I believe that in Latin “Pater” means “father” so “Patriae” could mean “Fatherland” although I can be wrong, that’s what I found on the Internet
@@whatapity7157 I have a feeling that Fatherland is a loaded term to some associated with the Third Reich whereas the text at least the "Non sibi sed patriae" was first found on war memorials for the first world war in Britain.
My Grandpa had 2 Brothers. The oldest one was member of an AT Gun Regiment, he died on day 3 of "Operation Barbarossa". The second oldest was a Tank commander and Senior NCO at the end of the war, he made it back home. My grandpa was draftet for the Kriegsmarine. He was a Senior Seaman. (Do you remember Sabaton´s "Bismarck"? He was on one of the small ships to provide escort for U-Boots and the Bismarck back to french Ports...)All they wanted to tell about this time is just the same that friends of mine from the UK and the US told me their grandfathers told them and their family about their time during WWII... In the end, they all just wanted to make it back home. Dont get me wrong, this is no excuse for any war crime commited by ordinary Sodiers...its a difficult topic
I just realizes while watching this video that part of the lyrics changes for the second time it's repeated And here it is Pulled into war to serve a vision That's 'supposed to' last a thousand years Part of a machine 'unstoppable' As merciless as tidal waves Pulled into war to serve a vision That "just didn't" last a thousand years Part of a machine "Though stoppable" as merciless as tidal waves
One of the best songs imo because it handles the "badguys" How would a german soldier understand the evil things its governement made? None at all. For the soldiers all happened for a good reason.
My father-in-law who was Dutch but born in an area of the Netherlands that was annexed by the Nazis was conscripted but worked for the radio listening department in Berlin. He certainly didn't believe the propaganda but he did stay out of the fighting he even learnt Portuguese when Brazil joined the Allies in 1943 and met my mother-in-law at that class.
About the Latin part "Ad victoriam, ex machina, non sibi sed patriae" means "To victory, out of the machine, not for self but for fatherland"
Not fatherland, country is what it means

AN often overlooked gem in the Sabaton library.. thanks for the great reaction, followed!
To victory, from the machine, not for himself but for the country
Do you have "Panzer Battalion" on your Sabaton list? It is about the US invasion of Iraq. One of their greater older songs in my opinion.
You crossed 3000 subs! Congratulations Sir Adrian! Keep up the good work, and keep rockikg bitches!
I really enjoy your reactions.
Keep up the good job, old rocker. 🤟
Sabaton - hearts of iron. Please!!
LATIN:
Ad Victoriam Ex Machina Non Sibi Sed Patriae.
ENGLISH:
To Victory Out of the Machine, Not for Himself, but for the Patriot
Lover your reactions! Have you watched the video of Nanowar of Steel featuring the singer of Sabaton, Joakim Brodèn, called "Pasadena 1994" yet? :D
