Somewhere in WW1 The prelude to the battle. The calm before the storm. The letters from home arrive to the soldiers in the trenches on the Western Front, who are ready to do their duty and sacrifice. One last bittersweet and poignant moment of happy memories and love before the moment's peace is ripped apart by war. In a few hours the British soldiers are aware they will storm the enemy positions and the battle will begin. But this foreshadows a much darker promise between people than the one the soldiers swore to the idea of King and country. It's those promises of coming back home that will never be kept. It's those husbands who will never come home to their wives. It's those children about to never grow up with a father, consoled only by being told he died a hero. Those mothers who spent a generation raising a son, only for him to be taken in a matter of seconds by one bullet. A girl staring at the bleak and distant war-torn horizon tearfully wondering if they will have a future together, and praying he makes it back as he said he would in those letters. Yet if they're scared of death, they don't show it. It is cold and the snow falls in wisps, yet the men smile in the bleak midwinter. They are not soldiers; in peacetime they would be workers for their country. Bankers, lawyers and businessmen. And yet they look up at their respective commanders with loyalty and patriotism, ready to sacrifice for the country. The duty is theirs to do no matter what. They are all prepared for the penultimate sacrifice of mud and blood, gore and death. To fight for what _they_ loved and believed, undaunted by the odds stacked against them. As the bodies of Britain's sons will stack tomorrow.
@@giovannimuciacia2428its melancholic because of the soldiers fighting the war. The point of the song is more nostalgia and missing family than the fall of empires
This is the song that reminds you that (although it is a game), with one singular order you send millions to their muddy graves. Is this that different to what real commanders do?
Yes it is, I'm enlisted in the Marine Corps infantry and I am SUPER excited for war. It's gonna be sunshine, rainbows, puppies, tea parties, respawning, cool music, and awesome guns and then we'll all go out for a nice dinner with a bunch of pretty girls!
Stop the cap! One day in the future I wanna be a soldier! It'll be so cool, having pool parties with unicorns and rainbows everywhere! War is sooo fun!

We do not value peace as we should.... all the pain people from WW2 has gone through.... its as if all the pain has been concentrated in a song mixed with the relief of the people when the war ended
Never more evident than today how little people learn. One of the greatest tragedies of human history is that this war was fought over essentially nothing in the end. Nobody learns from it, they now beat the war drum. Shameful
I was playing a ahistorical run as Hungary And I allied to Germany as fascist and then Germany went non-aligned while I was occupied with justifying on turkey, our former allied brothers came at us full force...and as we were defending to our last this song played...fading out just as we capitulated in the capital...all divisions fallen.
holy shit when the vocals kick in

Damn, that's a good comment.
War is young men dying and old man talking. - Franklin D Roosevelt.
I would've never thought I was going to say a youtube comment was underrated until I read this one.
lest we forget
The best song in hoi3

They put the song in HOI4 as well. That’s how I found out abt it. Great song. Love this song.
@@Blei1986 doesn't really sound like peace, more like the melancholy after the fall of an empire

Very good song
Когда я впервые услышал эту песню, я думал что она отображает ужасы войны. Я частично был прав.
😪😖😭
Yup
The 4 people have no home to send letters.
