This is how I imagine the conversation went to bring Floor onboard to sing the operatic vocals at the end of the video:
*Joakim:* Christmas Truce is almost finished, as a song. But I want to drive home how miraculous this is. We need something...
*Pär:* Like what?
*Joakim:* I don't know, maybe someone to sing operatic vocals? Do we know anyone that can do this?
*Hannes:* Let me call my home. I do know someone who can sing operatic vocals for us, if she's willing...
My version has Floor being in a very boring meeting with Nuclear Blast (Nightwish and Sabaton's label) when she gets a text:
**Hannes:** Honey, can you record some operatic vocals for us?
**Floor:** Be right there, dear. :red_heart:
If you’re going to watch live performances from Sabaton you need to watch 40:1 live at Woodstock Poland. The crowd numbered between 550,000 and 600,000 people in attendance.
Thank you for your reaction, and welcome to the Sabaton Army. Uniforms and shades are distributed that way. ----->
I would gladly stand in line
Think you are now into the deep rabbithole of Sabaton music. I appreciate the way you are not afraid show your emotions, cause this IS a deeply emotional song. I also appreciate that you let it run ll the way through the creds cause we get to listen to Floors voice too. It makes a beautiful ending.
Yeah I am deep and loving it!
"to be able to look in your enemy's eyes and see them I think as a person right, not just an enemy, and then having to recommence the battle... that would be extremely difficult"
You're absolutely right. In several locations where the Christmas truce took place, the participating soldiers had to be rotated out with fresh troops because they refused to fight their new friends. In some cases they were sent to the eastern front as a form of punishment, since the fighting there was a lot more brutal.
...
I think... it's incidents like this that stand as kind of a testament to humanity's true nature. We are capable to great violence yes, but at the end of the day we're a social species. Most of us *want* to be friends with other people - even the weird foreign guys in the trench a couple dozen meters away who've been trading bullets and grenades with us for the past few months.
Sabaton is said to make music that makes you proud of a country that isn't yours... I'd say it goes further than that, it makes you understand the mindset and emotions of soldiers, regardless their country. My country hasn't had a army for the last 74 years... And yet I feel I can understand those soldiers, even being a pacifist. Few bands can even get close.
Keep up with the good work.
I was waiting for this one! It's such a gripping song, an incredible story, packaged beautifully. Definitely one of my favourites. You didn't mention it, but did you catch Floor's vocals during the end credits?
I love 'Soldier Of Heaven' as well, which is another one of their recent songs. I also enjoy oldies like 'Carolus Rex' and 'Swedish Pagans' (playing that song live is kind of a running joke between the fans and the band).
There is my friend! I did but wasn't 100% sure if it was her. I remember someone mentioned that she provided vocals but couldn't remember if it was the music video or live.
Hi! Swedish gal here.... Thought of the difficulties that can be when you don't have some letters.... Maybe you've already sorted this out, but in case you haven't....
Press Alt and then enter the code on the number pad on the right. "Num Lock" must be enabled.
å = 134
ä = 132
ö = 148
Å = 143
Ä = 142
Ö = 153
å is thus Alt + 134.
Hopefully this helps!
Great reactions, keep it up! 💯
I think it is one of the greatest anti war songs. It just portrais perfectly why war is so stupid.
As one comment under the original videos says. Where the kid ask why they started fighting again after they played together.
you did the right way to show credit for all the work and people that did this !
It is the right thing to do considering the freaking effort they went to in order to tell the story the way they did. These guys are just fn legends.
@@JTMMTV I concur
Pär is sort of pronounced like the fruit pear.
Loved it! 😍 Thank you for another honest review! Already subscribed ofcourse! Keep up the good work! 👏 /Love from Sweden
Let's do a battle of the bands. Sabaton made the song 82nd all the way and the band Amaranthe made a pretty awesome cover of the song. Let's compare them
Aussie sabaton army member here….do cliffs of Galipoli it’s based on the British and allied forces failing dismally to conquer Turkey. Troops from Australia and Mew Zealand army corp (ANZACs) were virtually wiped out due to being given the wrong co-ordinates.

War is the worst humanity has to offer, but war can bring out the best humanity has to offer. This truce was an example of this. They celebrated the holiday with people who were far more similar each other then people from their own country who have not gone through the horrors of the war. They celebrated in solidarity with each other.
There is a great movie about this event, "joyeux noel" it's a very hopeful and tragic movie, showing the horrors of war but also the light that can shine through it using this event as an example.
As you mentioned that you weren't totally familiar with the story, this actually did occur, and was the only time in any war that an unofficial truce ever occurred. During WW1, both sides were basically told that this conflict would be over by Christmas. It wasn't, for as we know, it went on for 4 years. We in the Us didn't get involved until around 1917, when the Germans sank the Lusitania, so we were out of it until then. But this was during the first year of WW1. When Christmas time came in 1914, even the Pope at the time pleaded for a ceasefire just because of Christmas. No joy. However, at this time at a given battlefront, on Christmas, one side heard carols being sung, then afterwards, the other side sang a carol which was heard on the first side. One by one as you saw with Hannes, they came out of the trenches and greeted each other, smoked cigarettes, drank, and even played football/soccer. They exchanged gifts, and celebrated Christmas. Unfortunately, when the war resumed; some of the troops refused to fight, because they realized they would be killing the friends they just made. But as you can tell, the war resumed.
After 1914, commands were given that there would be no more truces or anything like this on the grounds of court martial, so this was the only time this had ever happened in the middle of a war.
One of the things that is big about Sabaton, as you can tell, is that they make everything historically accurate. Nothing biased, or anything of the sort; they are simply telling the story. We in the US didn't really get this story because we joined the war so late, but to those in Europe, this event is as big as the Berlin Wall coming down in 1989/1990.
The cross they put up actually exists; I want to say it is somewhere in Belgium, but the town it is in escapes me.
The cross, as far as I know, is near Ypres, Belgium.
Wow thank you for taking the time for this reply. I would love to visit that cross some day now. Just the thought of someone standing up and taking that first step out. Ugh gets me emotional just thinking about it.
@@JTMMTV : Just goes to show that even in the darkest of days, in the hell that is war on Earth, some semblance of humanity can shine through.
What hits me the most, is that perhaps it is because of the darkness and the horrors of war, that what shines so bright can be seen so clearly. One of the things I've always known is that soldiers who fight always say that nobody who has ever gone to war, ever wants to go again, and that those who have never fought don't know what how hard it is to fight a war. I've also heard it said that those who go to war do so, so that those they love never have to, and that while everyone they know sleeps at night, they stand the lonely vigil of securing the peace everybody enjoys.
Such is the life of those that serve.

@@isaiahwelch8066bit of difference between hell and war, hell only holds sinners, war destroy even innocent newborn... so war is worse
@@najroe : Not true. A newborn child, who otherwise would be healthy, can be destroyed inhumanely because of the actions of it's parents -- and I know of one such child. The mother smoked, drank, and did drugs while she carried the child. It almost would have been better for the child if it had died.
The sins of war and the sins of people aren't really all that different, the main difference being one of scale.
Fantastic Reaction. The 1st out of the trench was drummer Hannes Van Dahl and this I thouht you would notice but I guess you didn't notice the voice singing over the credits was Hannes wife Floor Jansen
Hey there, ive been enjoying your Sabaton reactions for the last hours, and i would love to see your reaction to their songs Shiroyama, Winged hussars and Hearts of iron. Have a nice day!
Added!
Just an FYI, Floor Jansen sang for ALL of the closing credits!
When men was men.
Tommy Johansson , the guy who played the guitarsolo have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers and also his own stuff He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself and his voice is amacing
Please react to Who wants to live forewer Queencower, or Disneyton He take the lyric from a Sabatonsong and the music from a Disneysong and put it together It,s totaly mindblowing
There is an error in the song information. The album is called "The War To End All Wars" and was released in 2022.
Thanks I usually grab the album name from Musixca when I grab the lyrics, ty for the correction!
Floor singing the outro is genius!
Great reaction to another good one could you react to sabaton wehrmacht and the art of war?
Added!
They are labeled as power metal but I would like to call them Metalbards. The Russians on the eastern front tried to make an Easter peace, but because they belong to the Russian Orthodox Church, a different calendar is used where Easter has a different date than the Christian Church, so the Russians who tried to climb out of the trenches were shot down by the Germans.
This song made a lot of us speechless...you are not alone! 🙂
Hi beautiful reaction, I don't know if you noticed, and you listened to Nightwish that at the end of the credits, Floor Jansen sang with her beautiful voice from Nightwish
In case u didn't catch it, u did get some Nightwish, or at least Floor, in the outro....I'm a bit new to Sabaton and appreciate your journey!
Did you miss that the end vocals was Hannes wife ?
Greetings and Love from Köln/Cologne, Germany ..great reaction as always..you mention the voice and reading the telephon book. What is kind of funny. Not long ago in the Netherlands. Floor on Tour and Promotion., on TV shows, on the Radio. And somewhere there this phrase came to Floor by an Interviewer. That she could just read the telephonbook and it would sounds beautyful. There's a short video of this happening. You know Floor, she asked for the Phonebook and read some names, adresses, numbers. And damn, sounds so wonderful. And the fact that is was a dutch book makes it even better ☺ stay safe, my friend
OMG really LOL hahhah thats awesome
Slår i dörrar. Går omkring. Mm
I’m extremely picky when it comes to content creators I choose to subscribe to but you’ve definitely earned one from me. Keep up the amazing work. I am looking forward to many more videos from you.
Thank you, that right there means the world to me. As a content watcher myself I am the same way so for you to subscribe I greatly appreciate that Clayton!
Would have loved to be a fly on the wall. At the band meeting for this song.
Band; we need something special for the outro.
Han(drummer) gets on the phone, "Honey, you busy? Need your voice for a minute."
Floor; "sure?"
Ok that made me laugh so loud my son just knocked on the door and asked if I was ok. LOL Just the image itself...... Thanks!
I was watching you read the credits but did you catch that it was Floor Jansen's soaring vocals during the credits?
I thought it was but didn't want to say it lol
@@JTMMTV you must have looked away from the credits for that split second when Floor's name came up LOL! - she is married to the drummer of Sabaton, the blond haired guy that first walked up the trench ladder with his hands raised high, Hannes Van Dahl
Sabaton's drummer Hannes (Tall soldier with blonde hair who got blown up in the beginning) is married to Nightwish singer Floor Jansen. She's the one that performed the female vocals during the credits. This song has been out for almost a year now and it still gets me. Flat out brilliant, song and video both. Cheers!
Hannes not Hammas
