Its older than "Germany" as we know today! It is and was a sign as a Medal for frontline Soldiers since the napoleon wars! It was first promoted in 1813!
i come from germany , so i know that german sea rescue ships have this symbol on their ships , so yes you are absolutely right it is not a nazi symbol even if they might have used it , just like the skull symbol
I know... I was talking about Lemmy and his love of Nazi paraphernalia. He was a complicated dude to be sure. But his music kicks all sorts of ass. He is on record as saying, "I imported the stuff, but not the ideology."
To be fair. just about all Nazisymbols were stolen by the nazi. So originally they had totally different meanings. The swaztika is very old and stands fur Sun and Happiness. The iron cross was made 1813.
@@aviewfromthestage The swastika has appeared in numerous cultures all over the globe and in various eras and has multiple meanings. The big difference is the nazi symbol is tilted at an angle, although there are a few other times it was tilted.
Well not stolen, thats wrong. And swastika has different meanings and different names for it, The oldest swastika is found in areas of todays Ukraine but you dont say hindus stole it. Same with iron cross, not stolen and other symbols.
Lemmy performed this stripped down, like a funeral march. This was more grandeous, It was a tribute to the sacrifice of soldiers of all eras, and to honor Motorhead for pointing it out in the first place. I suggest, No Bullets Fly by Sabaton, animated story video
The classic car in the street was a reference to the car that the archduke rode in when he was assassinated. The different soldiers marching, and the woman in the doorway (and the air crafts flying above) are related to different Sabaton songs.
Great reaction! This version of the song and the music video are masterpieces in my opinion. Joakim's voice was perfect for this. He's an incredible singer! One of the reasons why I became a fan.
This story and video is very good. But my favorite is still when they sing a "En livstid i krig" (a lifetime in war) live in Gothenburg in their native language. ua-cam.com/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/v-deo.html&pp=ygURZW4gbGl2c3RpZCBpIGtyaWc%3D don't forget the subtitle Although it concerns a war in the 17th century, it is still a relevant text.
You should also check out Tommy J covers here on youtube. He was a member of Sabaton and quit earlier this year to move on with his own band Majestica and his youtube career. He is the tall guy in the video with long blond hair. He makes magic with his guitar and about 10 more instruments and his voice is like an angels. You shoul also check out Sabatons Christmas truce.
I saw this one live last year and it was amazing. They kept it "small" if you know what I mean. There is a clip from Wembley Arena on youtube, that gives you some idea. They are amazing live. Greetings from Belgium🤘
It still stands in the British army to this day after the Somme that no 2 family members can serve in the same company or platoon because of the loses that day
My great uncle at the age of 16 fought and survived the battle of the Somme, then went to the Paschendaele campaign (Price of a mile) he died on the 3rd November 1918 - 8 days before the official end of WW1. They will never be forgotten. Lest we forget.
A few side notes here, the buss at the start is a reference to the live album no sleep til Hammersmith by Motörhead. The two guys standing in the door opening at 4:45 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead. The guy holding the picture of Lemmy is Eddie Rocha who was the tour manager of Motörhead and the current one for Sabaton.
As some have said, the Iron Cross is not a symbol of Naziism. It was a traditional symbol of Germany throughout history. All branches of the German military use it as a symbol of national identification.
It's true that Lemmy collected Nazi items as well as WWI items, but he never wore Nazi stuff such as the swastika. He always wore the German Iron Cross medal on stage, but that is an army medal for valor, and similar to the American Purple Heart. As a military honor for valor the German armed forces have had the Iron Cross since the 19th century. It is not a Nazi thing. The Nazis just also kept using it during their maniacal regime.
I agree with most of your comment except the comparison to the Purple Heart. The only requirement to earn a Purple Heart is to be injured or killed in combat. The Iron Cross is a gallantry award, only given for an act of bravery above and beyond the standard call of duty, in comparison to US medals it would be closer to something like a Bronze or Silver Star. Otherwise yes, your comments on Lemmy are spot on.

The iron cross isn't a nazi symbol.
The German army is still using it.

Well this song is about the battle of the Somme in WW1. It had nothing to do about nazis.

It's actually an ancient Indian symbol as I understand it... that stood for peace and happiness. If I remember correctly.

Same with the Tyr rune.

Lemmy loved historical war memorabilia.Kinda like Sabaton like making songs about it.
The classic car in the street was a reference to the car that the archduke rode in when he was assassinated.

Two pics reaction🤣
Hehehe.

Lemmy also dated Jews and people of any shade. The iron Cross was used before, other nations uses similar crosses.
They made a video about shooting this video, its ineresting too
are you
yawning?
This video doesn't just makes you sad, it rips your bloody heart out
Makes us remember those young kids who were lambs to the slaughter.
