- One of the bloodiest battles in the history of humankind was fought out on the hills in Northern France. Verdun was a tactical and symbolical city with great value to France. In 1916, the German army launched a massive attack, accompanied by a tremendous artillery bombardment, upon which the French defenders put their foot down, stating that 'on ne passe pas!', they shall not pass.

Need a TARDIS!!! July is not coming soon enough
Cool! Why hasn't this video been released to the public yet and will you be doing more episodes on songs from the upcoming album?
Sabaton History finally they are making a song about Verdun to fill in a gap in their Music about World War I
I'm hoping you covered more than just the land war in Europe on the album, I want a song about Jutland.
Really hoping a song about vimmy ridge
The fact that the 3 largest battles in history were all happening ALL AT ONCE really puts the scale of the war into perspective
@The “Meat Chopper” the brussilov offensive, not galipoli
Yes at that time, and yes very much in perspective.
That ten second tease is too much! July can't come fast enough!
The 225677th Fragment of the Man-Emperor of Mankind I know right !!!
We can.
I just did.
You aren't kidding my town just got second winter yesterday
I'll be in BCT this summer more than likely, I have much to look forward to when I get home.
The 225677th Fragment of the Man-Emperor of Mankind you’ve been waiting 10,000 years to save humanity but can’t wait for a sabaton song...sounds about right
USA Kid: "French Surender"
French Dad in 1916: HO boy, let me introduce myself !
And now the french are remembered for surrender at every war, fuck this world.
Not really. Most Americans who actually pay attention in school learn that is not the case. Those who would rather rely on Hollywood for their education, those are the idiots.

That's going to be a big ass meme
The spirit of resistance
And the madness of the war...
Hearing Indy say "Erich von Falkenhayn" and "Ludendorff" again is bliss.
All that's missing is a song about Konrad von Hotzendorf and Cadorna's XXVIIth Battle of the Isonzo river.
Clar Wikk why? XD
Clar Wikk I know I felt like I was in 2016, I mean 1916 again
@@akrybion I agree. Song about Hötzendorf and last Isonzo battle will be realy good. 🙂 And Isonzo battles were only 12 (XXII) and you write XXVII (17)
Battle LVIII of the Isonzo: "They insist the War is over, I shall show them" - Luigi Cadorna, 1997
Indy probably has all the Verdun information memorized to the point he could repeat it all verbatim with no script nor mistakes
@@indiananeidell9186 what a great presentation about the battle, at this point, we undoubtedtly reached the limit of what human being could endure
@@mikestauffer7033 what happened to Indy's comment?
What's serendipitous about the way you say that is that French students have to take an oral exam to pass the Baccalaureate which is something of an advanced high school diploma. It's done in select subjects, including history.
So, there are many French people out there who can *verbatim* recite the history of Verdun no script nor mistakes, and this is a seminal aspect of French society. Appropriate for Verdun
13:36
Don't mind me, just putting this here so I can repeatedly listen to my new favourite Sabaton song

Skunk Butt you’re a blessing on this earth
Thank you you filthy furry.
You're a hero

"The Symphony of the Devil" sounds like a song about artillery that Sabaton just has to write. Maybe they already have....
I think their song Stalingrad uses the phrase a few times
@@TheFarSideNoob ♪We're playing the devil's symphony
Our violins are guns conducted from hell♫
Thought the same thing
Can't wait for the Sabaton-Gandalf "shall not pass" memes
Damn you for beating me too it!
It is my greatest misfortune to most humbly remind you that Tolkien was British, and this song... discusses France.
@@seand.g423Tolkien was a ground soldier in the Battle of the Somme, though.
@@Tacktix Okay, fair. His background, I'd argue he should have been a Chaplain's aide or something, but fair.
@@Tacktix I am quite certain that this phrase was on his mind when he wrote that in The Lord of the Rings. haven't been able to verify that though.
My grand grand father fought in the French army from the beginning to the end of WW1, in Verdun he had the gruesome task to go retrieve and carry wounded soldiers back to our lines, one day he pulled a soldier stuck under a plie of mud by the legs, but only the leg came out as the poor man had been cut in two by an artillery shell. Years after the war he told my grandfather, his son in law, in a letter he wrote him : "I am looking forward to you coming back during your next leave (my grandfather was then fighting in the Algeria War), even though you will again complan that Algeria is worst than the Great War." The irony is that since the postal service was very bad during the Algeria War soldiers would get their letters in batches, sometimes receiving fresh letters at the same time as weeks old one. In the batch containing this letter my grandfather also received one annoncing him the death of my grand grandffather due to a lung disease he suffered because of exposition to combat gaz.
Philippe Pétain in 1916 : YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!
Philippe Pétain in 1940 : Ok you can pass.
Petain was incredible during WWI but during WWII, he was 84 years old, he was too old to do something, the brits were retreating to UK, the french were alone, they lost their tanks, their planes, their hope, he didn't had many choices. But thanks god, we had Charles de Gaulle to continue the war.
@Thib Skywalker Sûrement ma bataille favorie menée par les Forces Françaises Libres.
I've been to Verdun once, nature is slowly coming back but you can still see the scars on the landscape from the war.
It's truly a powerful place to see knowing how many people lost their lives there and what nightmares have occured there.
That Dude Hey, never been to Verdun but living in flanders battlefields of ww1 are everywhere. My hometown was 20km from the frontlines. Did you know the verdun veterans protested a lot when the french government decided to plant trees in the 1930's ? The veterans wanted to keep these 30km square like they were in 1918 : barren, sterile, grey, burnt. It shocked them to plant trees, as if their nightmares meant nothing. I don't know if we should have kept it barren and burnt. But these shell holes make my guts melt and my feet shake.
@@ansfelt8154
I didn't know that, thank you.
I can definitely understand the veterans wishes. Keeping a memorial so people will never forget what humans are capable of when it's do-or-die. It's just a lot more powerful to see a landscape ravaged by war 100 years ago than a memorial built in honor of past events.
Respecting this wish, at least to me, feels like the right thing to do, as they were giving their lives there, living through hell everyday.
But I don't know the reasoning from the french government, so I can only say what would've been right in my eyes.
I've seen trees while passing through the area, but I can't say if those are trees the government planted or if they naturally grew in the area.
@@rachelinga What did they say when you said those rolling hills were all shell craters?
Gandalf yelling "You Shall Not Pass" at the balroc in Lord of the Rings carries a different connotation when you know this. Since J. R. R. Tolkien was in WWI
19th april single release date.
Prepare guys!!
Is that official, or just rumors? :)
@@Beco96 It's my guess, because that's the date when album pre-order starts, so they got to push it with the first single as they did before :)
@@vladimirostojic2324 well sabaton history also loved your comment
I'm hoping they'll release it tomorrow. Over a weeks wait is too harsh.
If April 19th is when the album pre-order starts, it makes total sense.
*FIELDS OF VERDUN. AND THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN. NOWHERE TO RUN*
Father and son, fall one by one, under the gun, thy will be done
*FATHER AND SON FALL ONE BY ONE, UNDER THE GUN, THY WILL BE DONE*
Tolkein's best line comes from a French General - classic and beautiful.
I have 2 of my great-grand fathers served at Verdun. One was born at Dun-sur-Meuse and the german trench was on his native farm! But he and his fellow french soldiers hold the line... They shall not pass!
Verdun,I am having memories of Great War episodes back in 2016.

As a french, that ten second tease makes me have goose bumps, Really nice job there... And see you this spring/summer at Verdun.
First song about France from Sabaton I think. Unless you count like, Gallipoli.
And primo Victoria for kieffer commando
@@Altrantis Gallipoli, Unbreakable, Primo Victoria, Union etc...
Alright my friends, time to start an invasion of Sabaton Headquarters, the target their new album.
I'm in
What if they pull a Hitler and off themselves / the album? We'll never recover from the tragedy
what time what place ill be there
Where we dropping boys?
Guys, hold my beer and a panzer battalion, i'm going in
Sounds great! So excited for the new album, World War One is one of my favorite subjects so its awesome to see my favorite band making this album!
Im happy to see the people learning history
Hey mine to love lasting about it
French commander: "They shall not pass!"
Unknown British officer just a few miles away: "That sounds like a great line for the wizard in this book I'm writing!"
😂
I'm a very patriotic french and I just wanted to say, thanks. I went to Verdun 5 years ago, that was impressive, I see the "Ossuaire de Douaumont", the forts and the battlefield. When Indy talks about Sabaton will go in Verdun I was laughing because it's a secret but in France I saw a website who tells that Sabaton comes to Verdun between (Deleted data). =3
AND MY GOD THE SONG, HYPE OVERLOAD GUYS. XD
And just a history fact, the Douaumont fort was empty cause there was a big explosion in the fort before the germans take this fort and so much french died. ;)
To finish, I love how Indy speaks french. :P
Good video as always and I hope to see you on stage one day. ^-^
There are more 90° angles in Joachim's beard than in my maths exam.
Can't wait for the Great War album.
I already marked my calendar on my phone for July 19th.
Douglas Show Same
Same
lol i did the same moments after i heard the info
I really hope they go over the song 'Uprising' as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19th 1943.
Also dont forget to put a mark to May the 3rd because this is the date where the song Fields of Verdun finally comes out
Un grand merci !
Un de mes arrière-arrière grand-père est mort à Verdun en 1916.
Woah, I still understood it haha but I'm too bad to reply in french. Remember the man, don't ever forget the sacrifices made by the men in this war. Allez les français💪
j'ai 4 familiers qui ce sont battue aux côtés de ton arrière grand-père donc, aucun d'entre eux n'est revenue. hommage a nos braves ancêtres
Paix à sa courageuse âme
respectez a vos arriere-arriere grand-pere.
@D-Goy - Mort pour la France; merci à votre arrière-arrière grand-père pour son sacrifice.
Vive la République et vive la France!
I want to clarify the important role that my great great grandfather, General de Castelnau, played in Verdun. He organized the defense when the general staff absolutely did not believe in an attack in Verdun, made it possible to contain the Germans, and thereafter, named Petain in Verdun. Let's not forget him !
I'm not French but I would like to thank you for his service
I was actually writing a song about the battle of verdun with my band and our inspiration was definitely Sabaton. Pretty happy you guys are doing it as well !
Good luck mate
We have to launch an attack down the street to draw their attention first
If you ever wrote it please post a link!
I can allready tell The Great War is going to be fucking amazing
That could be taken out of context
Docta John Smith no no no he does mean that the Great War is going to be fucking amazing. Especially all the poison gas
*It's a themed album for the great war*
Me praying to all that is holy: Please let Alvin York make it.
Did you like 82nd all the way?
I just love hearing Joakim say “You didn’t hear that shit”
So Nivelle was the OG Gandalf? You shall not pass!!! Anyway, I'm a simple guy: I just love learning about history and listening to Sabaton.
Tolkien did fight in ww1, it is entirely possible he took that from this man.
Thank you Sabaton. I've been waiting for a glorious song about France from you guys. It sounds like you have epically delivered ! Greetings from a Texan American.
You're very welcome!
Finally a Sabaton song putting emphasis on the French military ! :)
And that was some approximative french, Indy, but I loved it, the way you felt like you had to pronounce every "S" in the sentence ! :D
I followed the great war from August 2014 to the armistice centennial , and hearing this go over again brings back great memories for me. Would love to hear Indy discuss Passchandaele on here!
Verdun is the first French-themed song for Sabaton, pretty sure.
Love the callback to "Unbreakable" with that line "fields of execution". This album is shaping up to be fantastic.
It was very interesting to hear about "they shall not pass" phrase. Especially if we remember that Tolkien actually fought in WW1.
The treaty of Verdun of 843 was the birthdate and place of both Germany and France as two seperate entities. Thus the huge symbolic meaning for both side.
I'm amazed that Indy can still speak so passionately about Verdun.
Currently taking a WW1 film class and I love hearing Indy go in-depth on such an impactful time in history.
0 dislikes sabaton brings everyone together with great music and history!
The more other Sabaton fans I meet the stronger my feeling is that Sabaton has the best fanbase in the world.
People have a sense of humor, people complete each other's lyric comments, we have live performance traditions of our own, and no one will even dare make fun of this fanbase with all the camo pants, combat boots and tank replicas while chanting military lyrics together xD
So much happened in the great war. From Lawrence of Arabia's antics to the Russian Civil War to Austrians in the Alps to the Barons of the Sky. So much can be on this new album. Very excited.
Aaaaand I'm sold. I want the album right now.
"They will not pass!"
Gandalf would be so proud about Nivelle... :D
Considering Tolkien fought at the Somme he probably heard about that at some point and used it as inspiration.
Nivelle is proud about Gandalf
8:50 : hmmm.... Gandalf
but hnng I'm so hyped for this album
Well, Tolkien was a WWI veteran
@@MrRenegadeshinobi Oh right yeah, that makes a lot of sense now xD
Looking forward to showing this to my history class, it's how I demonstrate that history can be fun *AND* informative.
I love this channel - thank you guys! Can't wait for the album...sounds great so far!
I know it was announced on Instagram but i wasn't expecting a history video about the songs of the album too early. Can't wait to the album.
I am french. My generation is the first to go without veterans from ww1 (I was born in 1999). However, if you bring up a conversation about the first world war, most people do not know anything about it EXCEPT that their great grand father or great great grand father fought in Verdun. Every single family in France, including those from the old colonies in North Africa have an ancestor who fought in Verdun. People from all across the country, but also colonial troops from Algeria, Morroco, Tunisia, Senegal ... Verdun echoes to the memory of 68 million french citizen. It's not only the bloodiest battle of our history, it's the first battle in our History that brought us all equal under arms as a citizen army. And this, my friend, mean that our 1789 Revolution was not meant for nothing. We won a war against an imperial dictatorship. Vive la République, vive la France !
From the sadly still monarchist Spain: No Pasarán!
Why am I only now finding out this exists?! Hans! Get the comfy chairs!
As a french, it is allways funny to hear english-speaking people's accent when trying to speak french. I think this language was created to bother them. Bravo Indy ! You did it quite well !
I still remember when Indy pronounced Charleoi as Charlroy
This channel is the gift that keeps on giving.
I learn more here than at school, I swear.
I've never been sold on an album and music video faster in my life than the clip you just played
Finally we get a sabaton song about the French.
Nonsense, there's Ghost Division!
@@HausAbendrot I'm french and...
May be our hystory deserves other examples, at least one that don't say "frenchies can't stop some german panzers" xD
@@malocuillandre1344 They still defended, though! Even if they didn't last very long... but it's better than sitting around! Just be glad you're not Austrian!
Frankly it's weird they've made so many songs about military history and they've not touched Napoleon. Dude probably deserves a whole album by himself. He fought more battles than any other general in history and won almost all of them. He's a legend that probably even dwarfs the likes of Julius Caesar and change the world forever. Hopefully they get around to that one day.
An entire album can be written about Napoleonic Wars.
and the battle has begun
The Battle of Verdun, sometimes referred to as the Verdun Meat Grinder, was one of the bloodiest battles of World War I on the Western Front.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can confidently say that Fields of Verdun has become one of my favorite Sabaton songs. I absolutely love it.
I love your prononciation of French Indy !
THAT SONG ALREADY IS DOPE AS HELL
Are putting this song out erlier as a single?
I only heard 10 seconds of that song and I already know it'll be awesome. I'm hyped for this album guys keep up the good work!

i really loved the few seconds of the new song and it is sound wise the best i have ever heard you have done well guys
Exceptional video, really covers key points and particularly the controversy concerning the battles objectives and course. Superb.
Because of this song, anytime someone says “fields” or “Verdun” I just scream “FIELDS OF VERDUN” while slamming my fists
I'm always down for a Verdun history lesson! Thanks, guys!
This is great !! I’m totally preordering the album thank you for another great video and a great history lesson

I saw you in the newspaper yesterday. On the photo you were in Bras-sur-Meuse, France.
I can't wait to hear that soon...
Just from that tiny bit of the song, it sounds pretty good.
Do lyric videos for all your songs please! When I share your music, I hate having to use someone else's lyric video. You guys should be getting the views!
Picsator must have gotten so much money from those jeez

Looking forward to this album!
I´m so hyped for that new album ... these few seconds of the new song sound epic!
Also new clip is comming! Nice!
I didnt know I needed this until right now
So pumped for July already.
Waited all day for that 🤘
be sure to do Ballad Of Bull on the 25th, since it's Anzac Day
Wouldn't Cliffs of Gallipoli be a more suitable song?
Can't wait for the new album!
Well that answers the chronology question! I like the clip! Can’t wait.
Nice special episode of the Great War!
I got the chills listening to that snippet of glory
I can't wait for the new album
