France’s Albert Severin Roche became known as “The First Soldier” of France for his heroism and bravery. Despite his small stature and his peers’ scepticism, by the end of WW1 Albert had more than proved himself, having captured over 1,180 prisoners while fighting for the French Army.

For those who never heard of Albert Roch, he once stopped an entire offensive alone cause he was the only one still alive in his trench. German had thrown an offensive after a massive artillery attack. Albert was the only survivor. He took the weapons of the deads and put them in line on the trench. And when the germans where close, he ran accross the trench and fire every guns. So the germans retreated because they thought an entire army was still there. But it was only Albert Roch. Thanks you Sabaton for the song about one of our hero !
This and much more, his story is just incredible. For french speakers I strongly recommand "le petit théatre des opérations" in which you can find more about this pure hero. And obviously Sabaton history video when it'll be out. I've been waiting for soo long to see Sabaton song about him.

Thank you Sabaton for giving Albert Roche the fame he deserves! This soldier with an exceptional career died just before the invasion of 1940, as if the Germans had waited for his death before attacking, for fear of being blocked as in 1914! At least two of my great-great grandfathers fought in 1914, one was an alpine hunter and the other an artilleryman, which did not prevent him from being buried underground three times at Verdun because of shell explosions. I was able to keep some of his belongings, including his helmet and his bag, as well as his veteran's card.

Yet another hero lost to obscurity, a man whose story is being told once again. I stumbled across Sabaton purely by accident, seeing a fan made video to the music of “The Last Stand”. Ever since then I’ve been hooked. As both a lover of history and a veteran I love this. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for more. Meantime I’ll be doing research on this man. Thank you Sabaton.
This one hits different specially since its so upbeat and also being written in a major chord, which is generally seen as happy and hopeful. Sabaton out does themselves every year, ffs. I have been listening to you guys since I was 12 in 2011 and every new song is better than the last! HOW DO YOU DO IT FFS SABATON! I LOVE YOU GUYS WAY TOO MUCH!
It's their second song in major chord, which is very different for Sabaton but it's also sorta a return to form. It reminds me of their esrlier albums like Coat of Arms and the Heroes
"I know nothing about French history" Play this song once: *"Now i'm French patriot and i must defend France at all cost"* Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️🇫🇷
@@laurelkeeper No worries, Mr.Ransom. My identity is well hidden and protected by the foundation itself, but I appreciate your concerns. Any attempts will have severe consequences. - O5-7
I truly am surprised he doesn't have at least one movie based on his life. His story is so badass and inspirational. Not even squarely his military career. He was a firefighter too. Truly the world is missing something when no movies or shows of this man's life exist.
I can not express how much I needed this song. My great grandma who helped raise me who i've seen almost everyday of my life passed away today. She was 97 years old. Thank you Sabaton for making the pain a little bit more manageable with this song. 🎸🎵🎶
What a precious gift she was. And what a precious gift YOU were for her. Understand this, you carry her love with you always. She is by your side every step of the way.
Don't be sad that she's gone, be glad you got to grow up having her in your life. I wish I had gotten to meet my great grandparents, but they were all dead by the time I was born.
The story of Albert Severing Roche reminded me of my late cousin Eugene Box. My late cousin got the highest medal of honor in France for saving the lives of his comrades who being taken out by a sniper (s). Sixty sized a flame thrower and was pulling the wounded to shore. Thank you for this Sabaton.
I love France! Really kind and also tough people. Visited Paris a few years ago Awesome history! 🇺🇲🇨🇵 we owe Lafeyette for the French expertise and foreign blood shed for our country
Merci au groupe Sabaton pour cet hommage rendu à l'un des plus grands soldats et héros français de la première guerre mondiale. Même si la chanson ne relate qu'une partie des exploits d'Albert Roche, elle reste quand même géniale.
Albert Roche un des plus grand héros de la premier guerre ! Des milliers de prisonniers, des lignes ennemis prises seul, des tranches tenu seul il y a des dixaines d'histoire sur cette légende. Merci sabaton j'ai bien cru que vous alliez passé à côté de notre captain America a nous
@@lenormand1315 Roche c'est tellement le gigachad ultime de france. Nous on a un soldat immortel X) Mais bordel imagine si les deux se rencontre, De Wiart et Roche. Mate, le monde est foutus.
Albert Roche. This is the first time I have heard of him and he is already one of my favourite badasses of history. Lots of love to France from Australia 🇦🇺❤🇨🇵
A small joke I found somewhere : "If we had put two Albert in the same trench, we would have won WW1 in three days". It was refering to both Albert Roche and Albert Jacka. So, many thanks to the Australians, and to the Anzac for their help and support during these harsh times !
Well, you australian friends shall not be jealous, for you also have a quite famous badass Albert soldier in your national history as well: Albert Jacka ! This dude from your country was an incredible hero as well !
and thanks to the Australian soldiers for having traveled thousands of miles to come to sacrifice their lives and their youth to help my country (and twice) we are eternally grateful
I cannot stop listening to this song! This is among the most repeatable songs ever made, so much passion, bravery, and devotion! You can feel passion for this man and his heroism as a son of France, with all love from California I salute this warrior of Alsace. Love how it also make him look like a French Rocky, fitting for he was a fighter and defeated doubts to achieve honor and glory. VIVE LA FRANCE!!
Sabaton made him look like Rocky despite Albert Roche was denied going to frontline for poor physical condition and being too short... So he did several indisciplines sufficient to be told a death sentence, which was to be sent to the front... Arrived there, he barely escaped being executed for cowardness, but the officer he saved made it back in time to stop it... Roche ended the war as a Private, with Legion of honour, Military medal, and as one with the most citations of the war... he captured 1180 enemies, and was presented to France by Marshal Foch as the First Soldier of France...
Chissà se faranno una canzone su Enrico Toti o altri eroi di guerra italiani... Wonder if they'll make a song about Enrico Toti or other italian war heroes...
i'm from italy and i can still see the holes the french soldiers made while shooting at the ceiling of one of our churces which was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci... praise the man, not the lot.
@@illonakarl-fuyu4180 I thought that was Audie Murphy? Audie Murphy was basically Captain America but without out the supersoldier serum, he was like how Steve Rogers was described before he got the serum- and I would say he STILL managed to out-do the Cap.
@@FleetAdmiralDouglas First publication for captain America in december 1940. First time Audie Murphy saw action in the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily. So he could cause he is a hero but he wasn't.
@@illonakarl-fuyu4180 Audie was so famous and impressive that his story was inexplicably sent back in time five years to inspire the creators of Steve Rogers.
Finally Sabaton is talking about a hero of France! It was so frustrating to not hear nearly anything about France after so much songs and albums on the two World Wars. I'm glad that you made this song about one of the greatest heroes of the history of France. I was happy to discover brave soldiers from other countries thanks to your songs, and now I'm happy that people from other countries can discover a heroic soldier from mine. I hope you will talk about other french heroes or battles because some may be called legendary. Thanks a lot for this song!
@@b1bis204 I was thinking of de Chambure for another exceptionnal soldier or Max Mader, but I approve your exemples. For battles I was thinking of Dixmude or Bir Hakeim
Yet another figure in history I've now just learned about thanks to Sabaton. Thank you for continuing to tell the stories of the past. Been a fan since 2006 and never been disappointed. Greetings from Scotland, can't wait to see you guys again in April 🏴🤘
Sabaton effect is very strong with this one. I'm proud to be French and I am not even remotely near being French or related to France in any way. What a banger.
People make fun of France for surrendering so soon yet there were people like this man who did a lot more than what's thought at first glance. Viva la France
That's just what Sabaton does to you. You're proud to be a countryman for a country you've sometimes never even been to at all. If one band could unite the world, it would probably be this one.
@@ysionx3646 I do not believe its good to unite the world in such a way but agreeing to certain is good. Personally I have made the haha France surrendered so early jokes myself generally cause i was bored and before you think I hate the French I don't, I make plenty of jokes of my own country as well. Plus there's Denmark who surrendered in like a few hours?
@@Chacho_s It was six hours and they only surrendered that fast because the army was already destroyed in just 6 hours. noted the didn't really get any chance to prepare Germany invaded them and Norway quickly to secure there iron trade with Sweden
Thank you Sabaton for this wonderful song which honors a French soldier, a hero ❤️🇲🇫. Thanks to it, we also remember all those heroes who died in battle like my great-grandfather ❤️... You are awesome, your music amazing and your lyrics fantastic! I can't wait to be in Paris next April !!! ❤️🤘🇲🇫
Sabaton je moje srdcovka, ale tato píseň (byť velmi povedená) mi připomíná skladbu Highland od One More Time, ale to nic nemění na tom, že Sabaton je top kapela a srdeční záležitost SABATON FOREVER
I only found out about Albert Roche yesterday. I asked my family if anyone knew who he was and they all said no. I was so inspired by this absolute legend I made a massive chalk mural outside displaying him, the farm he came from, and the French flag with his name written on it. The I wrote look it up on the bottom. I wanted his story to get out there. This hero deserves way more respect and recognition. Sadly it washed away in a major rainstorm. So the redesign starts today.
I may be way off the mark but this man seems like a real version of captain America. Overlooked, proved himself time and time again, earning everyone’s respect
He was the french most decorated enlisted during the WWI, knight (and later officer) of Legion d'honneur, Military Medal, 12 citations (4 palms and 8 stars on his War Cross). 9 wounds.
Heureusement que Sabaton est là pour nous parler d'un héro français honteusement oublié de notre histoire . L'éducation nationale devrait prendre exemple et nous enseigner notre vraie histoire pas celle de la doxa dominante . Enfin bref , un grand merci à Sabaton, continuez comme ça , vous êtes géniaux !!!! Et surtout , surtout vive la France !!!!! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
En quoi apprendre des anecdotes fussent-elles sur Albert Roche va-t-il servir à apprendre l’histoire ? En parlant de doxa, pourquoi l’armée a-t-elle censuré pendant longtemps les épisodes de fraternisation entre soldats allemands et français dans les tranchées ?
@@martinpenwald9475 Albert Roche n'a rien d'anecdotique; il s'inscrit dans le roman national que l'éducation prétendument nationale cherche à tout prix à effacer.
This song has the same energy as blood of Bannockburn. Something about it simply works as it seems hopeful yet almost like actualy 'there was hope' as in the past tense and now in the present, what is left is pride. I think that is one of the things that makes Sabaton great.
@@cabb6021Their cover of 1916 is in G Major and their cover of Kingdom Come us in F major. A majority of their songs do seem to be in minor keys though.
Wow , he is literally the first soldier of france and he did very daring deeds to stop the germans, he alone on the offensive and in the trench and a massive artillery attack was the only survivor and when he was interrogated he got a gun and hilled his german interrogator among others and will be remembered in french history as the first soldier in ww1. Vive le france.
Albert Roche is litteraly a Shonen Protagonist, start as the underestimated, rebellious kid, becoming a hero that even Kings and Marechals respect :'D It's just really sad he died so early by being run over by a car :/
@@fructosecornsyrup5759 Wasn't Steeve Irwing more like an Animal Caretaker? I never saw one of his show (I'm French, we don't had his show in France) so I always thought he was an Animal Caretaker from what I saw on the Meme. (Since he looked like a wholesome guy teaching kids things about animals) But... Yes, Albert Roche's death is really saddly not epic and too soon for such a badass guy. On the other hand, since he was not a War Addict (like Adrian Carton (The Unkillable Soldier)) I guess dying before the second world war was making him avoid another painfully bloody war with lots of horrors.
@@pitioti Yes, Irwin was a zookeeper and highly passionate wildlife conservationist. 'The Crocodile Hunter' was the name of one of his first TV shows (iirc), but it became a nickname/pseudonym for the man himself once he started to get famous.
I swear sabaton gets better and better with every release and they hit the ground running with their first album. There's a good reason why they're my favorite band.
Trumpets and a major key. So uplifting. Sabaton, you can surprise but never disappoint. Fantastic song, I'm nowhere near French but had tears of joy in my eyes. You're the best.🤘🤘🤘🎶🇵🇱
@@panzerlord2486 Well I don't have to force it since I am French. But I love those few uplifting songs Sabaton does, not only gloomy or powerful. To Hell and Back again or the valley of Death have the same effect on me
This song is absolutely amazing and the story of Albert Roche is even better. But that damn image of him walking proud with his country’s flag waving on his shoulder, THAT is what does it for me with the video! Gives me chills and pride! Even though I am American my family does have roots in France so I definitely feel proud of that heritage with this song and story! 🇫🇷 🇺🇸
It's not just an endless resource of stories from History to draw on that guarantee this band's longevity - they keep coming up with marvellous songs in which to tell them. Joakim Broden also happens to be one of rock's finest vocalists. This most excellent highly melodic singalong barnstormer keeps up the high standards and is everything you've come to expect. It's simply glorious Battle Metal. A must-own. My Score: Excellent 5*
A bad ass metal band builds a song around the structure of a pop band. One More Time's highlands sacrifices itself to the structure of the First Soldier. Love it.

You're not the main character.
So we should not allow people to talk history? Even the worst parts of it? This is supposed to be a public app yet people get all antsy because of the fact that someone mentions blood or war. And I don’t think that I’m the main character. That’s a bit of a headache to say at least. People need to learn about the triumphs and tragedies of the past and learn from our mistakes because if not, we’re doomed to repeat them all over again. Most governments nowadays don’t want you to know what really happened. That’s what we call propaganda. They only show you the things that they want you to see, because in doing so, people will misinterpret and not realize that they might be missing a critical detail about the story. People have been known to do the greatest damage to the world, but also the greatest deed that could save thousands of lives. Some men don’t want that. They want to be in control, to make it seem like that they are the greatest men to ever have existed, up to the point where they will get paranoid. How much more can they do now other than take direct control of the information and erase the things that threaten their power and profit? What then?
The First Soldier, The Unkillable Soldier, Lady Of The Dark and 82nd All The Way. 4 incredible soldiers from 4 different nations, all war heroes, just imagining what it would be like if they were one quad gives me goosebumps.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO As a french person, I'm so grateful that you once more gave us a such incredible song and beside shown the great soldiers we had fighting for our country, from the dawns of times, France (and Francia Before) was a warrior land and we would fight for our honnor and glory till the end with brave heroes and historical symbols on our shoulders. KEEP IT ON SABATON!!!

This is just phenomenal! I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it already. Just like all Sabaton songs, this one just pulled me in. It truly feels like listening to a glorious saga! Tack så mycket Joakim, Pär, Chris, Tommy and Hannes!
As a French descended person (albeit French Canadian), thank you for covering a heroic French soldier who stands out just like Sir Adrian de Wiart or Sergeant York!

I'm French and honestly, thank you a lot for this amazing song ! Vive la France et je suis bien fier d'être français et de notre magnifique histoire ! 🇫🇷❤️
I'm so used to the deep, dark, slower type of music that Sabaton produces, so I find this upbeat song a bit odd to listen to. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna obsess over it for the next week though. Sounds similar to The Lost Batallion
@@GetDougDimmadomed after the ambiguous but sinister tone of Father its nice to have something upbeat, dark songs are good, but there must always be some sweet to balance the sour
Today is my 18th birthday and I've listening to Sabaton for 2-3 years now and this dropped today. Thanks for being an amazing band ❤️ and thanks for a hell of a birthday present ❤️
I'm french and didn't knew anything about Albert Roche, despite his weaknesses he still managed to become a hero, they should really speak more about men like him at school. Thanks Sabaton, Vive la France !
This hits so hard! Since 82nd All The Way, I have been waiting for another high octane epic hero power metal jam. You have not disappointed. You continue to outdo yourswlves.
As i'd like to say: He didn't come there for bullying, he came there to fight. A Sabaton classic, that always gives tears of happiness. Go Albert! Vive la France!
This is the reason why I love Sabaton. Before I heard this song I knew nothing about Albert. Then listening to the song my curiosity was peaked and now I can't wait for the Sabaton History video!
As Albert was my great grand uncle, he's been part of my family's lore forever. It's really interesting to see him become more known those last years. I find it important that in a war known for its slaughters, his heroism was also saving comrades and capturing ennemies. It was already quite moving to hear his name during président Macron's speech in the Panthéon 3 years ago, but now a whole song in his honor, that's truly something unexpected. So many thanks for that!

Yet another hero lost to obscurity, a man whose story is being told once again. I stumbled across Sabaton purely by accident, seeing a fan made video to the music of “The Last Stand”. Ever since then I’ve been hooked. As both a lover of history and a veteran I love this. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for more. Meantime I’ll be doing research on this man. Thank you Sabaton.

This one hits different specially since its so upbeat and also being written in a major chord, which is generally seen as happy and hopeful. Sabaton out does themselves every year, ffs. I have been listening to you guys since I was 12 in 2011 and every new song is better than the last! HOW DO YOU DO IT FFS SABATON! I LOVE YOU GUYS WAY TOO MUCH!
I have been listening since 2011 as well 👍 i was many decades old then 😉
They've been making music for 24 years. Isn't it amazing?
Reminds me of "To Hell and Back3, just gotta love those upbeat songs
It's their second song in major chord, which is very different for Sabaton but it's also sorta a return to form. It reminds me of their esrlier albums like Coat of Arms and the Heroes
Then are you a '99?
If so you then are as old as the band. ;D
"I know nothing about French history"

@@laurelkeeper No worries, Mr.Ransom. My identity is well hidden and protected by the foundation itself, but I appreciate your concerns. Any attempts will have severe consequences.

Overseer, should this individual be cataloged as an anomaly? His deeds are too awesome to be real!
@@redhausser7492 Perhaps, though his incident that almost lead to an unjust execution can make things go both ways.
I truly am surprised he doesn't have at least one movie based on his life. His story is so badass and inspirational. Not even squarely his military career. He was a firefighter too. Truly the world is missing something when no movies or shows of this man's life exist.
I can not express how much I needed this song. My great grandma who helped raise me who i've seen almost everyday of my life passed away today. She was 97 years old. Thank you Sabaton for making the pain a little bit more manageable with this song. 🎸🎵🎶
Respect to your Great grandma, I hope that your day is good..
What a precious gift she was. And what a precious gift YOU were for her. Understand this, you carry her love with you always. She is by your side every step of the way.
Fear not today is the happiest she has ever been
Don't be sad that she's gone, be glad you got to grow up having her in your life. I wish I had gotten to meet my great grandparents, but they were all dead by the time I was born.
My condolences
Because of Sabaton, what we do in our life truly echoes in eternity, and heroes are not forgotten.
The story of Albert Severing Roche reminded me of my late cousin Eugene Box. My late cousin got the highest medal of honor in France for saving the lives of his comrades who being taken out by a sniper (s). Sixty sized a flame thrower and was pulling the wounded to shore.

Albert Roche. This is the first time I have heard of him and he is already one of my favourite badasses of history. Lots of love to France from Australia 🇦🇺❤🇨🇵
A small joke I found somewhere : "If we had put two Albert in the same trench, we would have won WW1 in three days". It was refering to both Albert Roche and Albert Jacka.
So, many thanks to the Australians, and to the Anzac for their help and support during these harsh times !
@@alexjar3144 Yup the Anzac troops were top notch soldiers in world war 1 and 2.
Well, you australian friends shall not be jealous, for you also have a quite famous badass Albert soldier in your national history as well: Albert Jacka ! This dude from your country was an incredible hero as well !
and thanks to the Australian soldiers for having traveled thousands of miles to come to sacrifice their lives and their youth to help my country (and twice) we are eternally grateful
Hi from france. You australian had also your own Albert during ww1. Albert Jacka a famous one also.
I cannot stop listening to this song! This is among the most repeatable songs ever made, so much passion, bravery, and devotion! You can feel passion for this man and his heroism as a son of France, with all love from California I salute this warrior of Alsace.

Amitiés de France
Sabaton made him look like Rocky despite Albert Roche was denied going to frontline for poor physical condition and being too short... So he did several indisciplines sufficient to be told a death sentence, which was to be sent to the front... Arrived there, he barely escaped being executed for cowardness, but the officer he saved made it back in time to stop it... Roche ended the war as a Private, with Legion of honour, Military medal, and as one with the most citations of the war... he captured 1180 enemies, and was presented to France by Marshal Foch as the First Soldier of France...
I'm from Italy and I've always admired the courage and the "panache" of ww1 french soldiers, whose valour is not honoured enough..
Chissà se faranno una canzone su Enrico Toti o altri eroi di guerra italiani...
Wonder if they'll make a song about Enrico Toti or other italian war heroes...
Don't forget Italian soldiers

Are there and rich French guys here who can turn this guy into a Netflix series? Mr Roche definitely deserves it.

@@illonakarl-fuyu4180 I thought that was Audie Murphy? Audie Murphy was basically Captain America but without out the supersoldier serum, he was like how Steve Rogers was described before he got the serum- and I would say he STILL managed to out-do the Cap.

Finally Sabaton is talking about a hero of France! It was so frustrating to not hear nearly anything about France after so much songs and albums on the two World Wars. I'm glad that you made this song about one of the greatest heroes of the history of France. I was happy to discover brave soldiers from other countries thanks to your songs, and now I'm happy that people from other countries can discover a heroic soldier from mine. I hope you will talk about other french heroes or battles because some may be called legendary.

As a fellow highlander, you had just taken the words out of my mouth.
As a french person, I'm very proud my country is part of the Sabaton's masterpiece!
Merci Sabaton et continuer!
Thank you!
Sabaton effect is very strong with this one. I'm proud to be French and I am not even remotely near being French or related to France in any way.
What a banger.
People make fun of France for surrendering so soon yet there were people like this man who did a lot more than what's thought at first glance. Viva la France
That's just what Sabaton does to you. You're proud to be a countryman for a country you've sometimes never even been to at all. If one band could unite the world, it would probably be this one.
@@ysionx3646 I do not believe its good to unite the world in such a way but agreeing to certain is good.

Plus there's Denmark who surrendered in like a few hours?

@@MSTavares Hi! I am ok.
The synth fanfare completes this song. You guys never disappoint!
I seriously love it when metal bands just straight-up write a song in a major key. I wish more of them did this!
it does make it sound like the safety dance
I only found out about Albert Roche yesterday. I asked my family if anyone knew who he was and they all said no. I was so inspired by this absolute legend I made a massive chalk mural outside displaying him, the farm he came from, and the French flag with his name written on it. The I wrote look it up on the bottom. I wanted his story to get out there. This hero deserves way more respect and recognition. Sadly it washed away in a major rainstorm. So the redesign starts today.
I may be way off the mark but this man seems like a real version of captain America. Overlooked, proved himself time and time again, earning everyone’s respect
To be honest, the video makes him look exactly like Captain America.
He was the french most decorated enlisted during the WWI, knight (and later officer) of Legion d'honneur, Military Medal, 12 citations (4 palms and 8 stars on his War Cross). 9 wounds.
Heureusement que Sabaton est là pour nous parler d'un héro français honteusement oublié de notre histoire . L'éducation nationale devrait prendre exemple et nous enseigner notre vraie histoire pas celle de la doxa dominante . Enfin bref , un grand merci à Sabaton, continuez comme ça , vous êtes géniaux !!!! Et surtout , surtout vive la France !!!!! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

I checked Google trends- hardly anyone was searching Albert Severin Roche- now it's exploding. Just another reason to love Sabaton.
This song has the same energy as blood of Bannockburn.
Something about it simply works as it seems hopeful yet almost like actualy 'there was hope' as in the past tense and now in the present, what is left is pride.
I think that is one of the things that makes Sabaton great.
Part of that is that this and Blood of Bannockburn are the only two Sabaton songs in major keys (as far as I know)
@@cabb6021Their cover of 1916 is in G Major and their cover of Kingdom Come us in F major. A majority of their songs do seem to be in minor keys though.

Salutes to this Ultimate Soldier, to this hero of france, and to each and every soldier of all sides who fought in this bloody massacre.
Wow , he is literally the first soldier of france and he did very daring deeds to stop the germans, he alone on the offensive and in the trench and a massive artillery attack was the only survivor and when he was interrogated he got a gun and hilled his german interrogator among others and will be remembered in french history as the first soldier in ww1. Vive le france.
Albert Roche is litteraly a Shonen Protagonist, start as the underestimated, rebellious kid, becoming a hero that even Kings and Marechals respect :'D
It's just really sad he died so early by being run over by a car :/
Just prior to WW2 too, Germany was afraid of him until the end
Wtf, that's the same level of heartbreakingly disappointing as hearing the Crocodile Hunter was killed by a stingray of all things.
@@fructosecornsyrup5759 Wasn't Steeve Irwing more like an Animal Caretaker? I never saw one of his show (I'm French, we don't had his show in France) so I always thought he was an Animal Caretaker from what I saw on the Meme.
(Since he looked like a wholesome guy teaching kids things about animals)
But... Yes, Albert Roche's death is really saddly not epic and too soon for such a badass guy.
On the other hand, since he was not a War Addict (like Adrian Carton (The Unkillable Soldier)) I guess dying before the second world war was making him avoid another painfully bloody war with lots of horrors.
@@pitioti Yes, Irwin was a zookeeper and highly passionate wildlife conservationist. 'The Crocodile Hunter' was the name of one of his first TV shows (iirc), but it became a nickname/pseudonym for the man himself once he started to get famous.
He left the shonen to go isekai
He is one of the national heroes of France! Respect and salute for him!🫡

It's not just an endless resource of stories from History to draw on that guarantee this band's longevity - they keep coming up with marvellous songs in which to tell them. Joakim Broden also happens to be one of rock's finest vocalists.

Sabatons been making amazing songs for over a decade. Deserves a round of applause and a medal but UA-cam's clearly deciding to demonitize history now

Don't be a sheep. Not everything is a conspiracy. You're not the main character.
So we should not allow people to talk history?
Even the worst parts of it?
This is supposed to be a public app yet people get all antsy because of the fact that someone mentions blood or war.
And I don’t think that I’m the main character.
That’s a bit of a headache to say at least.
People need to learn about the triumphs and tragedies of the past and learn from our mistakes because if not, we’re doomed to repeat them all over again.
Most governments nowadays don’t want you to know what really happened. That’s what we call propaganda. They only show you the things that they want you to see, because in doing so, people will misinterpret and not realize that they might be missing a critical detail about the story.
People have been known to do the greatest damage to the world, but also the greatest deed that could save thousands of lives. Some men don’t want that. They want to be in control, to make it seem like that they are the greatest men to ever have existed, up to the point where they will get paranoid.
How much more can they do now other than take direct control of the information and erase the things that threaten their power and profit?
What then?
The First Soldier, The Unkillable Soldier, Lady Of The Dark and 82nd All The Way. 4 incredible soldiers from 4 different nations, all war heroes, just imagining what it would be like if they were one quad gives me goosebumps.

This is the reason why I love Sabaton. Before I heard this song I knew nothing about Albert. Then listening to the song my curiosity was peaked and now I can't wait for the Sabaton History video!
As Albert was my great grand uncle, he's been part of my family's lore forever. It's really interesting to see him become more known those last years. I find it important that in a war known for its slaughters, his heroism was also saving comrades and capturing ennemies.
It was already quite moving to hear his name during président Macron's speech in the Panthéon 3 years ago, but now a whole song in his honor, that's truly something unexpected. So many thanks for that!
Tu es vraiment son petit fils ? Tu as pu le voir de son vivant?
