========= Hellfighters LYRICS ==========
From a land across the ocean, to the western front where they served
Fought with courage and devotion, preconceptions turned
As the spring offensive kept churning, where the men would earn their name
See the tides of battle turning, and their foes ignite their flame
Hear the toll of the bell, kept fighting for six months in hell
As the war rages on, they fight at the edge of the Argonne
Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell
Out of the trenches they came
As the war rages on, at the edge of the Argonne
Hellfighters earning their name
They would have no prisoners taken, and they never lost any ground
Earned the cross of war unshaken, never turned around
As the armistice is drawing closer, the 369th
Kept on fighting until it was over, and they were first to reach the Rhine
========= Historic Fact ==========
In 1918, the Harlem Hellfighters were assigned to fight in WW1 alongside the French army. This regiment was mainly made up of African American soldiers, and they were not allowed to fight alongside the ordinary American soldiers.

Song about Battle of Kosovo 1389? 🇷🇸❤🔥
Song about Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, Ph.D, and the 20th Maine during the Battle of Gettysburg(BAYONETS!!!!) or maybe a song about the 1981 IRA/INLA hunger strike. Both are very interesting topics much your audience may not be familiar with. Thnks for teaching me about Brazil's WWII involvement and the Swedish Empire. I have a history degree and knew nothing about Brazil during The War and very little after Gustavus Adolphus and the 30 Years War.
If you are short of ideas for a song maybe look into the Shetland bus operation, this was run from Shetland to for example Norway to evacuate people and take them out and away from those occupied countries
You guys deliver, whatever times in the world, thank you guys.
@@lukapavlovic2253 I agree with with a song about the Battle of Kosovo, but we also need one about the Fall of Constantinople and when the Crusade of Varna finally ended at the 2nd Battle of Kosovo.
What I think I love most about "Hellfighters" is that it doesn't focus on the Hellfighters' race. It focuses on their deeds, and trusts the listener to go and learn about them after. This is how a song like this should be done.
They, of course, weren't so fortunate to be able to do so themselves. They fought for the nation, and returned to the same discrimination and mistreatment their parents had, and their kids and grandkids would face basically the same for decades more before the US even started to give them a resemblance of equality, much less make amends for past wrongs.
thats actually a cold reality to not only black soldiers. a lot of soldiers are discarded after wars, this was true even in roman times were conquering legionaries came back and were broke ,barely able to feed themselves let alone their family . still true today , the slight difference in rome they could turn to their general who paid them and the general had their loyalty not the state. thats probably why it was so much buried and the Americans only partially made black people soldiers because disgruntled soldiers isnt Something you wanna play with
@@laisphinto6372 This is a good point, "disgruntled soldiers isn't Something you wanna play with."
It could mention that
@Keali'i Cooper just a song to milk russian cocks for loots of money
One of the most ignored group of heroes of the first world war. A battalion that fought harder and more devoted than most others for cause they had no need to fight for. Only to be ignored and shunned upon return. What God damn perfect song to immortalise the Harlem Hellfighters in our current day.
Fun fact when they first got back black soldiers were actually met with decent respect even in the south. They sadly do get forgot about.
Everybody remembers the Harlem Hellfighters
@@truereaper4572 thanks to Battlefield 1
@@warmike yeah, after BF1, the Hellfighters and the Russian Women's Battalion are nowhere near ignored.
They're comparably pretty well remembered in Germany. If you know a bit of ww1 here you heard of them.
Subjected to racism, almost un-recognized by the country that they fought for, but still they battled it out in what was hell on earth to secure victory. Earning fame and respect across the world. Long live the Harlem Hellfighters!
And laid the foundation for that to change same within world war II I think there was a tank battalion that was a segregated squadron of Sherman's that saved the squadron's ass unfortunately at the cost of their own lives but pretty sure the other tank commander tried to get them recognized at the time for a medal of honor unfortunately it was denied because of racist b*******at least I think that was the gist of the event but can't quite recall the details might be off

To sum it up Sabaton all around is awesome 😅
Ye of little faith.
Of course Sabaton would provide
Man this is to awsome
cant wait for sabaton history to cover this
I’m still hoping they make a song about the Redtails or Alan Turing.
As a French, I wholeheartadly thanks these brave men, they showed such ferocity in combat against the central powers. Thanks to all the entente soldiers who spilled blood for my nation, and I salute the former ennemies who died in this pointless bloodshed.
No such thing as a pointless war, every war has a goal, for the entente it was to deny Germany the dominant position on the planet
We should all be glad they succeeded
@@davidsuntner8862 what a weird strawman of a response
So the war has goals and reasons yet it was still pointless…is it wet or is it dry? You can’t have both
Second, yes it was bad… *Ask Belgium*
Third, what a weird whataboutism argument, no one said anything about world war 2 except you
No that’s not why the war was fought, Russia wasn’t exactly gaining territory were they? As said the war was among many things an excuse for Britain to crush Germany before they could overpower it
Again, no one said anything about world war 2, stop
@@davidsuntner8862 wat, to say todays America dominated world post world war 2 power vacuums would be the same as the German dominated world without world war 2 is bizarre and stupid, and what do you mean ‘realistic reason’ no war in human history needed a ‘realistic reason’, how naive
@dill pickle spears boi is there a source for that? Seems pretty “Do’h!” To call it the 369th infantry regiment US expeditionary force but give them French uniforms as if it’ll hide them
@dill pickle spears boi high command forgot they have unit designation
Also UA-cam videos without sources are not sources, so if EC has a source, I’d love to see it, they went so far as to make Puerto Ricans and blacks separate from white units but they’re still the 369th Infantry Regiment of the NY national guard US army, that’s how it always was
I like the return to a bit of a heavier sound after the recent stuff. Not that I didn't like Truce, but I can't really play that at full blast in my car rushing down the interstate.
I think its the theme for this album
I definitely agree, this reminds me of coat of arms / the art of war and I love that
That was my immediate thought as soon as I heard this song and Stormtroopers!
I feel that
As is your right
They did this knowing that they were not accepted as people in their place of birth but they still answered the call, the harlem hellfighters are true war heroes.
tf is ur pfp
Sabaton can really shine even the most unknown or ignored stories of war. The Hellfighters are pretty known, yes but they get so ignored sometimes. Happy that they're getting their due. The son is a banger!
I hope Sabaton covers the Korean War, a.k.a the Forgotten War
I hope they do a song on some part of Irish history
@@jarlathquinn2628 I don’t know if this counts but the man mentioned in “The Unkillable Soldier” was from Ireland

As a Puerto Rican thanks Sabaton for honoring those who served there. The contributions of these men have been forgotten even when one of our most celebrated songwriters Rafael Hernandez Marin served in the regiment band with his brother. While his musical success may eclipse his service, we shouldn't be forgetting he was a part of the Hellfighters.
I said the same thing, brother 🇺🇸🇵🇷
When I deployed to Afghanistan my best friend and one of the toughest and most educated soldiers I got to work with was a soldier named Perez from Puerto Rico!. Respect!

As the American, you learn some things early.
Chief among them... there ain't any men that can stop a group of New Yorkers who have a cause.
Except our own government.... And they told them we gonna prove your asses wrong.
Other than Kyle with an ArmaLite
*snickers in Panzer IV*
What about a group of Americans with a common goal
That's the beauty of the music. As a Turkish man i've never heard about Harlem Hellfighters before. Now i scream randomly "HELLFIGHTERS EARNING THEIR NAME!".
Don’t feel bad, most Americans haven’t heard of them either unfortunately.
Yeah we mainly get told about world war II ones in school at least before college world war I is kind of highly underrepresented in most history classes
Or what the late Ottomans did to the levantine Arabs and even their own Turks they did the same thing

Pvt Henry "Black Death" Johnson received the Croix De Guerre before Sgt York did. Props to Sabaton, Hellfighters, Needham Roberts, Noble Sisel, Jim Europe, and Black Death Johnson.

Absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't expect any less for a song about one of the few regiments in the war that never gave up an inch of ground or had any of their men taken prisoner. Rest in Power Sgt. Henry Johnson, you short brave bastard

Honestly, thank you so much Sabaton for honoring these heroes of my country. Truly one of our bravest, toughest, and most heroic soldiers ever in our history. How I wish they were treated better before they left home, and when they returned. Glad to see their getting more recognition. 🇺🇸❤
It's our privilege.
@@Sabaton OMG! :D
Aw that was a wholesome few comments
As, an African or African American I'm glad that this group of heroes finally getting the recognition they deserve.
I am utterly disappointed in my public schools that I went to that I never once learned about this literal Reapers of War and absolute warriors. As always Sabaton keeps putting the American Educational system to utter shame.
@@Sonichero151 There Wah the 81st Wet African Division in WW2 And the 82nd West African Division, We have the Tuskegee Airmen who fought off German pilots so that bombers could reach their destinations, 92nd Infantry Division, and let me tell you my favorite event that happened to the 369th Harlem hell Fighters.
@@Sonichero151 Sergeant Henry Johnson received the Medal of Honor
for his actions on May 15th, 1918.
He held off a German attack with grenades,
his rifle, a knife, and finally his bare hands
to protect a fellow soldier and his unit,
the Harlem Hellfighters.
Then-Private Johnson was on sentry duty
the night of May 15th with fellow soldier
Private Needham Roberts.
The two were attacked by a raiding party
of at least a dozen Germans.
And things quickly went south.
Johnson fought bitterly to protect himself, his friend,
and the Harlem Hellfighters
and French soldiers they were with.
Even after they were both wounded, Roberts fed Johnson
hand grenades to unleash a hellish downpour on the Germans,
giving deadly meaning to the phrase, "Make it rain."
Johnson held the enemy off
until they ran out of grenades and rifle rounds.
At one point, the Germans even tried to abduct Roberts,
but Johnson protected him
with just a knife and personal grit.
Johnson was eventually wounded 21 times during the fight,
but he still managed to bring down several Germans,
stabbing one of them through the head with a bolo knife.
That's right.
Even severely wounded, Johnson had the strength
to shove a knife through a man's head.
Johnson received the French Croix de Guerre
and was eventually promoted to sergeant.
But he wouldn't receive an American medal
while he was alive.
Posthumously, Johson was awarded a Purple Heart in 1996,
a Distinguished Service Cross in 2002,
and a Medal of Honor in 2015.
@@ordnance7222 I knew about the Hellfighters, but their deeds are impressive.
@@ordnance7222I remember hearing about that and the name sounds familiar I think it was in a show about medals of honor
As a Soldier of the Army National Guard, and a Trooper in the US Cav I couldn't admire anyone more then the Harlem Hellfighters who faced a segregated army and still managed to not only fight and win, but to survive with little to no respect or logistical support from the US army. They were only recognized by the French army after being adopted and equipped with French Equipment. Yet, facing so much other than life on the front line, they were the most feared amongst the germans. And THAT was a national guard unit.
"This We'll Defend"
They were national guard? I thought the national guard pretty much just set up sandbags when there’s a hurricane
“To cannon all men are equal”
Aye I agree
It doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference if you're black or if you're white
All men are equal till the victory is won

After 5 years had watched the simple history of Harlem Hellfighters, finally now this song, thank u Sabaton, u really are the best. Hopefully u guys can do music video of this as well. I love war history.
You don't learn this shit in school. More awesome history that sends those erie historical chills down your spine
To be fair you learn more about this stuff in college than highschool
The song i missed from the great war, finally here!
Love the return to the older sabaton sound
this is an amazing tribute to the Hellfighters, they did so much for us and barely get any recognition becuase of the time in which they served
I just noticed this; Stormtroopers has "Out of the trenches/the stormtroopers rise" and this song has "Out of the trenches they came". Like, two of the more aggressive WW1 soldiers BOTH rose out of the trenches. Has anyone else noticed that detail?
Wow, it's almost like WW1 was all about trenches.
“ Hear the toll of the bell, 6 months in hell” , that stand out to me so much. The Harlem hell fighter saw more combat than any other American unit in the First World War. They we the American equivalent of the German storm troopers or the Italian arditi. The best of their country.
I am the great-grandson of a Hellfighter. Thank you for this.
You got warrior blood br proud
Sabaton is great to listen to in any state. I had a couple drinks and am feeling pretty good. What's good about new songs is that you can bounce around from song to song and keep coming to the ones you've previously listened because you've already forgotten how they go. Needless to say I think my neighbors hate me right now, but they getting educated now... those uncivilized swine.
I have listened to sabaton every day on my drive to work for around two years now. My brother who often rides with me (we work at the same place on different schedules) doesn't know how I'm not tired of it by now 😂
When your enemies have more respect for you than those who sent you to be killed.
Always feels extra special when Sabaton honors guys from your country. Even if America gets more songs than most.
Well technically Sweden has two albums
@@grandadmiralsteel1989 yeah, America definitely has less than Sweden and probably Germany

Ever since I started listening to Sabaton, I had hoped they would make a song about these fellows. THANK YOU
Nice to see the Harlem Hellfighters finally get the spotlight for once. Forgotten units like these definitely need more attention
Especially since they should have been treated as heroes instead of outsiders.
That solo has to be one of the heaviest in recent sabaton history, is caothic and awesome at the same time, congrats sabaton for realising yet another tremendous album!
yeah, that initial scream pretty much made the song for me
One thing I really like is that in bf1 you can hear 2 German soldiers talking about them and how scared the soldiers were of them
Thank you sabaton for Honoring the soldiers whose own country didn’t care for

369th's honest reaction: 🗿🗿🗿
"The German forces rushed into the Americans’ dugout. Johnson shot one German in the chest, point-blank, then swung his rifle to club another. Two enemy soldiers tried to haul Roberts away, until Johnson drove his nine-inch knife into one of their skulls. Another German shot Johnson in the shoulder and thigh; Johnson lunged with his knife and slashed him down. The enemy soldiers ran. Johnson chucked grenades as they fled.
Reviewing the carnage the next day, a U.S. Army captain estimated that Johnson had killed four of at least 24 German soldiers... "
--Damn these guys are something else... imagine an African man annihilating your teammates, immune to bullets, I'd run too.
This man is the definition of badass.
Thus earning the nickname black death
You know you're badasses when your enemy gives you a nickname.
I love how you don’t focus on the fact that they were black, you focus on how badass they were.
While a great song, it's not a good way to look at their story. They were badass through and through, all the more so because of what they overcame, and knew they'd have to face once they returned home. Their children and Grandchildren would continue to face blatant racism despite ancestors like the Hell Fighters and countless other examples giving their country their very lives.
They themselves would probably have something to say to the contrary.
There were other ethnicities in the 369th. Puerto Ricans for example.
@@Joesolo13 Problem is that the unit also consisted of other nationalities.
This is so dramatic and fast-paced; I love it!
Every song on this album is unique and really breaks the mold from alot of previous Sabaton material; as much as I love every song, some of them start to sound a little similar after the first few thousand listens, you know?
But not here. You guys keep absolutely killing it with every song and I'm loving the hell out of this new material! I can't wait to sing it, and see you guys play it, I hope!
They only sad part about the Harlem Hellfighters Despite their courage, sacrifice and dedication to their country, they returned home to face racism and segregation from their fellow countrymen.
Which is why it is ESSENTIAL to repeat their story. What they and the 442nd did are the truest examples of patriotism in American history. They fought for a country that despised them, they answered a call that they had no business receiving. Yet they fought every bit as hard (if not harder) than their white countrymen, proving (even though they shouldn't have had to) that they believe in the core values of this nation. Through their bravery they show what courage really means. Not just courage on the battlefield, but the courage to be dedicated to ideals that were not being reflected in the society in which they lived. By repeating their story, we reaffirm the value of the price they paid to shout to all the world "I AM AN AMERICAN".
@@mileshill7196 Please quit pretending everyone in the US was a Democrat. Wilson got 49% of the vote, not 100%.
@@mileshill7196 Let that be a message to Black Americans on how we reward patriotism. I respect them for giving Black folks like myself an image of strength and resilience to look up to and showing that to image to the world.

Those brothers deserved it.
@@0mg1tsbatman87Private Henry Johnson actually did get some respect after his death. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

The Harlem Hellfighters, absolutely indomitable.
Sabaton is the definition of, “they will sing songs of this.”
One of the best guitar solo's of the year.
Instantly recognizable as a Chris lead, and once again shows why he is one of my favorite guitar players
Chris is easily my favorite Sabaton guitarist. Tommy’s equally talented as him when it comes guitar, but Chris is THE Sabaton shredder. Despite that, people love Tommy more than Chris. Why’s that?
Sabaton will never run out of Heroes to sing about!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from Singapore!!!!!!!!!!
This entire song just gave me goosebumps. The lyrics, the riff, the solo, EVERYTHING. Can't get enough!
Great song. Henry Johnson who was a member of this unit received the Medal of Honor for his actions one night
near the Argonne. The story of what he did that night is legendary and quite frankly being nicknamed The Black Death
is pretty epic. In my estimation one could consider him an unkillable soldier.
there's only one unkillable soldier
Funny enough, he was a man who died destitute because of an error on his discharge papers failing to report injuries that he received his Purple Heart for. Granted said Purple Heart was given posthumously by President Bill Clinton. He then received a posthumous Distinguished Service Cross upon discovery of his burial place in Arlington National Cemetery. And it has recently been discovered that General John Pershing provided a Chain-of-Command endorsement, presumably for a Medal of Honor, given what Charles Schumer said in front of a statue of Johnson in Albany.
Originally I just wanted to make the joke that the unkillable soldier, the white death, and the black death all died peacefully, and then on the Smithsonian Magazine website I found an article that mentions all four facts I mentioned in my post.
@@brianlance8263 Lastly on Mr. Johnson. He definitely deserved a better fate and definitely deserved to be treated
much better but sadly our society at that time was not very forward thinking then again have we made much progress.
he got his Purple Heart 78 years too late, and his Medal of Honor came 97 years too late
While the Army neglected to tell his family, he actually did receive some respect when they buried him with full military honors. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.
That intro, damn, I think this just over took Christmas Truce for me. Such a good album. I love you guys, Sabaton, you are a wonderful break from repetitive cgi modern music!
LOVE that y'all are covering heros whose stories arent well known but deserve to be told!! It would be awesome if you guys would consider some songs about indigenous battles fought in the Americas. The Sioux were the first nation to defeat the US on the field of battle. True warriors fighting to protect their way of life. The Sioux are very well known but so many indigenous peoples of the Americas were/are incredible warriors. The Chickasaw, for example, were known as the “Unconquered” or the “Spartans of the Lower Mississippi Valley". Considered the most formidable warriors of the American Southeast. I know most of your work is about European wars, but Ghost of the Trenches was truly incredible representation of an indigenous hero and I would love to see more works covering these amazing warriors!

“Hellfighters earning their name”
I'm glad that the Harlem Hellfighters are getting the recognition that they rightfully deserve!!
Also why hasn't a movie been made about these African American heroes?!
There is a movie on Amazon called "The Great War". Unfortunately it doesn't show the Hellfighters until over halfway through and focuses more on the politics of the time. Still a decent watch though.
Blacks of other nationalities were part of the unit. Not just african
@@naokir.3649 But some of then treated better than Afro American
That is why many Hellfighters were respected by French Soldiers
Why wasn't this the battlefield 1 campaign it's funny how they want representation yet they don't want to tell the truth actually interesting stories of heroes like these I can only think it's because they don't want any Americans taking pride in anything or something wouldn't surprise me
@@sambob8019 in the trailer of BF1 the first campaign and the rest of the game you Can see black soldier wearing french uniforme those are the hellfighter as the us did not want those men to fight france asked the us for thos to fight and the us complies only by the conditions that they would be under french command wore french uniforme and use french weapon France agreed and the hellfighter went on to become one of the most decorated and feared régiment of the War thanks to that agrement
Sabaton: "Iced Earth won't be needing this riff any time soon..."
I used to live in Harlem, there's a sign off the FDR expressway that says something about the Harlem Hellfighters... I always thought it was a super badass name
Thank you @Sabaton for sharing all of the history you do to loads of people who may have otherwise never given the past a second glance. Those who do not know the past are doomed to repeat it and I'd like to think that you enlighten people with every song you put out. SABATON FOREVER!!
I have waited so long for this song. I really wish it was on The Great War, but I'm glad we have it now. More songs like this in the future please.
This album made me think of only one word to describe it: unstoppable
Number 15, Harlem Hellfighters. Now, the last thing you might want to go up against on a WW1 battlefield is a bunch of big, bearly black guys with something to prove but as it turns out that might be what you gæt.
Long live these pride soldiers! They've earned a place among the stars just like the lady of the dark!!!
The whole album shreds. Best sabaton album ever made.
The only part I don't like is that the deep-voice chorus isn't repeated twice at the very end.
"Hear the toll of the bell.
Over six months in hell.
Out of the trenches they came.
As the war rages on.
At the edge of the Argonne.
Hellfighters earning their name!"
Glorious.
Sabaton I just want you to know every morning waiting 30 minutes in traffic at the gate. on my the way to PT. You motivate me and my truck speakers shall christen the ears of all the other sleepy soldiers. Keep up the fresh content my morning workout relies on it more than creatine at this point.
This is my favorite Sabaton song since Devil Dogs.
I'm American after all.
And I'm black.
Wow! So, I never stop learning. I'm from Albany NY and had seen the name Henry Johnson on street signs and never knew he was. He killed 24 German soldiers in 1 day alone. Thanks for another history lesson that is so close to home.
the hellfighters were so feared by german troops that some refused to shoot at them as to not anger them, they were legends.
The 369th Harlem Hellfighters, shipped out as a token force to aid the French army against the German Empire. The US gov't expected them to get wiped out, ridding them of an annoying wild hair...and yet these boys were some of the toughest, bravest, and most dedicated combatants to ever see a battlefield. They earnt great respect from the French for their valor, and the bond was such that the 369th took to wearing French Adrian helmets instead of the issue Brodie kettlehat, as a sign of unity with their poilú brothers in arms. Truly one of the most inspiring tales from the First War.
I would love to see them make a song about the Tuskegee Airmen. Those brave men saved my great-grandfather by escorting his damaged b-17 out of enemy occupied airspace
Better yet, instead of that cinematic travesty that made every history buff have a collective seizure, why couldn't we get a movie about these guys?
They do take suggestions on their website. Perhaps, you could suggest it to them.
@@Warrior-Of-Virtue Yeah it wasn't that bad but yes I did get a seizure from watching it.
Me when Malevelon Creek on Helldiver difficulty
FOR SUPER EARTH
Black soldiers actually got a camouflage buff in ww1 because everything is grey. The sky, tree, and land, all of it are grey, so black soldiers can blend in and be really hard to detect.
I’ve wanted a song about the Harlem Hellfighters for so long!
Finally a song about the Harlem Hellfighters. They are such an overlooked and ignored part of ww1 history. So glad this was made.
1914 did a song about them too. It's called Dont tread on me
This song has no business going as hard as it does 🤘
Yes it did. It had to go as hard as the hellfighters themselves.
We need to award Sabaton the Nobel prize in Awesomeness. This year will hopefully be legendary touring year for Sabaton. You guys need to come to Iceland. If Guns and Roses could come then you guys can come...
This might be one of my favorite Sabaton songs now. I love the opening riff
wow, this is such a most powerful song I ever heard in my life.
This is one of the best songs about the Harlem hellfighters.
this song tells you about history of black soldiers back in the Day.
I learn everything about the Harlem hellfighter
Rest in peace to all the Harlem hellfighters❤️💙🤍🇺🇸🇫🇷
I love the voice of joakim at 1:38 a lot
bells in music are so underrated
As the war rages on upon malevalon hell divers earning their name
As long as I've been into history this has been my favorite mini story, particularly of Henry Johnson. I was so happy when I saw sabaton was making this song and I think I might have even suggested it to then though I'm certainly not the only one.
TEMON!!!
El tema que más esperaba, quería volver a escuchar un tema bien pero bien pesado de Sabaton.
Me encanto!!
BY FAR, the best and most overlooked song in the new album (makes me wanna play bf1 really hard tho)
French guy: you Germans don't have fun
German guy: last time we had fun, the Americans had to rescue you
French have allready win the war before the American help
German people are starving
France’s reputation for surrender is still widespread, although, as we have seen, actually France has surrendered in only eight conflicts since 1850, a comparative percentage to Austro-Hungarian and German victories. A big reason why France is known for surrendering is because they lost a number of famous conflicts in recent history. Although I am not German, I believe that Germany kinda threatened your guys' existence on multiple occasions.
🤣😆
And everyone else came to your rescue. You guys had no chance of winning both in ww1 and ww2 without due aid in armaments and manpower.
@@andrewarmstrong2857 it's sure but they rolled over everyone the Germans of the time but it's mainly because we had repeatedly very bad commander but the French soldiers are among the most feared in Europe winning a multiple recovery of things thought lost. But a French soldier in general is superior to a German because often proven the many fights won while we were in numerical inferiority.
@@andrewarmstrong2857 Well no one had a chance of winning against Germany by the British letting them get too strong and the Americans rearming them. However the 1st world war was already won with or without the American Aid because of the Franco-British blockade so they absolutely did not save us at that time and it is very funny the Americans had really bad equipment during the 1st world war that it was ultimately France and the British who had to equip them or help them to have suitable equipment, so the Americans were really much more moral than real.
And during the Second World War, of which the Americans via the rearmament of Germany and the British via the abbandont of France and threaten it if ever it intervenes on the remilitarization of the Rhine are the major culprits of this war. And then literally the many British abbandont of France via Dunkirk where the French fought and gave their lives to save their lives while the English were just waiting when they did not fight at all or even to Bir hakem or some Frenchman from the legion saves the English from romel. France has saved the others much more than the others have saved it. Let's not forget the moment when the British destroyed almost all of the French fleet behind their backs. They are only traitors who pretend to be saviors (even De Gaulles hated the English for their multiple betrayals)
To conclude also don't forget that when the Americans arrived in France for the liberation the Germans had already lost against the USSR and had no opposing force and that it was the French resistance or Free France who freed the most French territory.
These men deserve to be remembered more than most.
Love this song. As someone raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico this reminds me of the puerto ricans who served in this unit like Rafael Hernández Marín who was raised in Aguadilla as well. 🇺🇲🇵🇷
Igual compa
I got my history teacher to play this in class (we're learning about the American Civil Rights movement)
Nice. Did he liked it?
I don't comment much, but I just want to say I love how this music, just in the terms of composition and instrumental, sounds literally like its burning - like fire. It suits the story of the song, and I damn well love it.
Sabaton is one of the best bands
