- It happened during the last stage of the Soviet-Afghan War.
Already withdrawing its forces, Soviet High Command needed to display its might one last time by recapturing the vital Satukandav Pass. But to achieve that goal, the commanding heights surrounding the pass had to be held against continuous Mujahideen attacks.
In the Battle for Hill 3234, an outnumbered force of Soviet paratroopers held their own against relentless attacks from the Afghan rebels.

They were only 39
They were told to hold the line...
I'm sure most of you know the rest of those lyrics. And after watching this episode of Sabaton History, you also know the real historical events behind those words.
What some of you might not know though, is the story of the guitar solo in Hill 3234.
As usual when Joakim had written the song, he sent it out to the rest of the band. Much to his surprise though, this time Thobbe Englund - lead guitarist at the time - sent a file back within the hour.
Thobbe had just plugged his guitar in and hit play. He was literally listening to Hill 3234 for the first time when the solo spontaneously popped into his head, and he recorded it on the spot.
And to make this solo even more special: it is that very first recording Thobbe made that ended up on the album!
Not one single re-take.

Soldier 1: How on earth are we supposed to beat this?
Soldier2: We either die and end up in a Sabaton song, or we live an end up in a Sabaton song.
Attack of the Dead Men: We did both at the same time!

A Sabaton song: the greatest honor bestowed upon any soldier

3234 metres high, a "hill"
Afghan geography is really in a league of its own.
The Russian term for what is usually named "a hill" in the Western military geography is "vysota", literal translation is "elevation", so it makes a lot more sense in Russian.

Says alot about mountains in Afghanistan
It's no wonder Afghanistan has the reputation of being the graveyard of empires.
tbh its the same situation here in caucasus region.
It’s like a modern Rorke’s Drift
Rorke's had more supplies
Well, it’s probably more that they just shot slower. I’m guessing if the bois in red had Kalashnikovs they probably would have run out of ammo just as fast.
@@ottovonbearsmark8876 If I'm remembering right they were at a depot and had a lot of ammo. Like instead of calling for ammo, they were at the place you called to get the ammo. Granted it was single shot, but it was BIG Heavy stuff, so if they'd carried it there themselves they'd have had far less. They were just short of men one would like when the enemy pops up in those numbers.
@@jpkalishek4586 rorkes drift was a medical mission that the British army used as an army storage area
More the soviet Viet Nam war overall but this battle yeah a epic last stand.
"Shelled and sniped at on a regular basis, but nothing out of the ordinary."
Any nation that has ever attempted to occupy and hold Afghanistan can relate.
yeah except the thousands of years of other empires occupying the region of Afghanistan. If you literally mean it as a country SURE, but if you mean in general nope.
@@rtsgod it was during the British occupation that guns and explosives came into play, and the Afgans were already doing this. i've read in Alexander's time in Afganistan the locals were also doing guerilla war (no sniping back then) and had the same effect, until he decided to destroy whole villages to scare them. it didnt really work so he just moved on
@@apokos8871 i suppose, but it's not like they kicked out the invaders or anything. Uh, no Afganistan was definitely under Alexander and the successors thumbs for a long time. Alexander only moved on because oh shiny! Oh that's india let's go there! Thousands of years they've been under another state's dominion. I am just sick of the haa durr Afganistan throws out all invaders ever it's the graveyard of empires! stuff. in modern history i suppose so but it's not a hard fact that's been always true.
@@rtsgod yes, it was officially controlled by the Seleucid successor state, i was talking about Alexander's attempt at defeating the opposition while he was there. he couldnt find a regular army to fight, only guerillas that staged small attacks. he resorted to terror tactics but it didnt work. in the end the valleys were secured by persian units and the mountains were left to the hostile tribes but noone really gave a fuck about the mountains. i dont remember the book that explained this right now, i have it somewhere in the house.
@Т-34-85 Winner interesting, do you have a source to check out?
CIA trained and supplied Afghan rebels, little they knew that some 13 years later these rebels would be killing US soldiers in Mogadishu.
you would assume that people from CIA could calculate these chances, but it seems they didn't
Actually the C.I.A did not actually funded and arm the part of the Mujahadeen that would be later be part of the Taliban but funded the Northern Alliance which is also part of the Mujahadeen.
They also were helped by Maoist groups (Sino-Soviet split) and Iran (Shia-Sunni split, although I don't know if socialist Afghanistan was atheist or tolerated religion but if it did did it subscribe to a particular branch of Islam).
I want to break this rumor as well. The CIA did not fund anything that moved who was willing to fight against Afganistan. Remember the US wants to make Allies who would be useful in WWIII so they fund tribes and leaders who are friendly to the west both in idea and will. Bin Laden was not one of them. HIs supplies originated from Pakistan. People forget the top three suppliers of the Mujahadeen were the US, Pakistan, and China. And they all funded tribes based on their own ideas.
@@Seriona1 oh wow you have such insight. Either you are ex cia or you are bullshitting.

Some of the guys in my militia in the Mexican Drug War were veterans of this. I'll take "motherfucking tough salty bastards harder than steel" for $1200, Alex. They taught me to not panic, fight hard, march swift, and never yield. Great men.
And about the Soviet (or Russian songs ) on Afghanistan there are quite a lot (and I'm sure there are a lot that I don't know) but there are some stellar classics (for me) like
Swallowing dust
Caravan
Kandahar
Don't tell mama I'm in Afghanistan
Soldat from Lyube
And famous Kino song
Gruppa krovi(blood group) that's arguably about this
Most of the songs are pretty gloomy since it's the pov of the rank and file soldier

Good evening, Joakim and Indy. I want to thank you very much for making a video about the Afghan war of 1979-1989. As a Russian, I am flattered by your work. But it's a pity there are no subtitles in Russian for this video. And tell me, is the Pär still in Moscow or has he already returned to Sweden? Hello from Russia
You're welcome Yuri :) And no, Pär is no longer in Moscow.

I really like this for giving respect to Soviet soldiers. There's real heroes and great men in every army, it's the same all over the world and history, f*** the politics!
Single soldiers are so easily forgotten, many awards depend on rank and the higher awards are for higher ranked officers, higher distance to the actual battle and real heroism...
@elijahasberry542Good necroposting you got going there
@elijahasberry542 Stop assuming things about me.
I just stated, that you are necroposting, which is usually a rather unintelligent thing to do.
@elijahasberry542 Ah, my bad. I hope you get some good rest brother.
I'mma go eat a taco now.
Junior Sargent Alexandrovich Alexandrov was the NSV Heavy Machinegunner and he’s quite a hero. He knew and accepted that he wasn’t going to survive and told the rest of his crew to get to safer places. He’s one of the Hero of the Soviet Union recipients
Video: fades in
Me: Ah, Joakim, I see you are a man of culture as well.
A single slice of dark bread and hard boiled egg? It’s Thanksgiving at the front!
It's Russia
He's lucky he got bread
Good thing the US learned from what happened to a world power going into Afghanistan and fighting the Taliban...
Let's take a look
Livestream camera quality: It's like Pewdiepie's quality only slightly better.
Channel camera quality: 100 times better even though it's filmed from the same angle
That makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense
This episode would have left me with a quite gloomy mood, but fortunately Joakim and Indy were all smiles and laughter in the end, so this left me cheerful for the time being. And hungry as well.
When Indy was talking about the machine gun taking hits, I heard my daughter starting to sing "Happy birthday to you" in her sleep. 😄 Thank you all for this, and take care!

@@lavrentivs9891 well, if you consider the contemporary Sino-Vietnamese war, you might find this more reasonable. also, Pakistan only act as the media of weapon transport, it was the CIA who purchased the weapon.
@@schwarzerhaufen1727 That's a very big "only", which isn't exactly correct either since Pakistan housed mujaheddin training camps as well.
Should be remembered that both Britain and the USA funded them btw.

Now I know where did modern day terrorists learn their tactics... Thanks to Indy and Joakim for making my day through learning and smiles.
I know there's no song for it ...
But when do we get an episode about MACV SOG and Bob Howard?
This Hill 3234 fight was pretty much like every encounter the RTs of MACV SOG had with the NVA.
if every fight of macv sog like fight at 3234 height, then only song for them is astronomia.
They could make an entire album from John "Tilt" Striker Meyers' stories/book(s) alone.
Joko had him on his podcast 4 or so times, well worth the listen.
This is a bit nitpicky but the (North) Vietnamese aren’t the NVA, they were the PAVN. The NVA are (East) German.
"Its fucking kravchenko"

And now the USA leaves Afganistán AND the country once again Is under talibán control
thats government for you, spends literally trillions of dollars to change the government of afganistan from taliban to taliban
Call them terrorists stop glorifying them by calling them Mujahideens
"Influential leaders like:..."
I didn't hear Ahmad Shah Masood after this line.
Did you say: " beat the Afghan insurgents into submission" ? Why would the Soviets do such a thing? Oh wait I know to stop Americans from placing nuclear missiles over there. Missiles that would reach Moscow in 8 minutes.

There is a movie about it called '9th company'
You can find it on Netflix
It's a garbage. Most of people from Russia will agree with me.
I enjoyed it.
It's absolutely terrible for historical accuracy. The final battle in the movie is nothing like what actually happened. They just wanted to make the Soviet equivalent of Full Metal Jacket.
@@brianmcdonagh9116 agreed. If I remember none of the spetnaz died in the real battle?
@@JericoLionhearthThey were VDV not Spetsnaz. VDV is Airborne, Spetsnaz is special forces, there is quite some difference. But besides that, 6 died in the real battle as opposed to the movie where almost everyone did. Also, during the real battle they were in constant contact with their base via radio so they had access to artillery suppprt whereas in the movie they were on their own and couldn't reach anyone.

@@damirk3 the "Democratic Republic of Afghanistan" was a democracy only in name. For god sake, the reason the Soviets invaded was because it was so unpopular with its people!
@@Legitpenguins99 Part of the reason the people hated that government was because of things such as them giving women equality. The other reason was that they were a Soviet puppet state, and this puppet state only existed because the Soviets gunned down one of their presidents.
I have been waiting for this episode for quite some time. Thank you guys. Those 39 soldiers in my opinion deserve respect for the ones that died hope they can rest at peace.

But in all seriousness I am glad you finally covered this song. It's definitely one of my favorite Sabaton songs.
@@Thomas.Wright lmao
There are songs about Soviet-Afghan war, most from the SSSR like:
Alexander Rozenbaum - Чёрный тюльпан (Black Tulip )
Alexander Rozenbaum - Караван (Convoy)
Aleksandr Doroshenko - Пыль глотаю (Swallowing Dust)
Кино - Группа Крови (Blood Type)
ЛЮБЭ - Солдат(Soldier)
Most of them are gloomy songs about dying soldiers and all things they saw in Afghan war.
Swallowing Dust is kind of interesting because I guess it was written in like '96 from what I've heard.
@@Zakatak-mf4iq I really don't know. I am just a hobby historian with strange taste in music. Most of the songs i found trough old documentary where a bunch of SSSR soldiers are driving in BMP listening to german music band which sings in english and American cameraman taking footage, and UA-cam(deep holes of 3-5am).
@@hajdukdavid oh you mean the one with "Who Will Save the World"? Same, in that case. If I'm thinking of the same one it's from a documentary "AFGHAN: The Soviet Experience" about the war from a soldier's perspective. Highly recommend.
@@Zakatak-mf4iq Yup that one, first i found Who Will Save the World, then "Afghan: The Soviet Experience", then went down the rabbit hole that is known as SSSR war music, later on Major Samm had influence. If you don't know i highly recommend that you check out his channel on UA-cam.
Funny how we, Americans, didn't learn from the Soviet occupation. I read about the Soviet experience and think, "Yep. Did that. Saw that. Been there." It's very surreal.
Yep. Only difference was the Soviet tolerance for casualties. Literally everything else, you can swap the invader name and it still works
@@jesuszamora6949 Invaders? Better a Afghanistan ruled under communism or demoracy as a bunch of religious extremists who are living in the past and threaten their women like they are no humans for them. Be fair, nobody would travel into this country and stay there. I hope someone drive them out or destroy them, before they get to much power in the world. Nothing against the Islam, but not with those people. who are preaching with a gun in thier hand and beating womens and children with the other.
@@Afterthefallout55660 Not a value judgement. Just a fact. We were the ones who went in there. Again, neither good nor bad, just who the visiting and home teams were.
@@jesuszamora6949 And now? Project democracy failed or would say that your only goal was to weaken the soviet union, without any doubts about the people which life there?
If that was the plan, the people are just figures on a chess game. Now they have neither a stable goverment nor democrasy. I think thats worth to think about, because it effects all of us.
If we support the wrong team, we have to take the consequences. In Germany we feel it every day with every refugee more, who went over the border and that topic is the main topic for the any right-wing parties in germany who trie to destroy our sytem again.
Neither bad or good is the wrong answer. It is bad for everyone in Europe.
Sabaton, pls make song about the defence of hill Shipka, in 1877-1878, by the Bulgarian rebels and russian army against the ottomans. Because of that victory, Bulgaria is restored after 500 years occupation by the Otoman empire.
After the withdrawal the afgan army unable to hold the territory... Wow sounds like history repeating itself.
As nato forces withdraw has meant Afghanistan has been over run by the taliban and returned to their outdated extreme Islamic ways

I remember reading at the time soviet prisoners, mostly conscripts, would be skinned alive by the women if they were captured. The Afghans considered it highly entertaining to skin one man at a time in front of his comrades so they knew what was going to happen to them. Every so often the Afghans would send a survivor back so his comrades knew what happened.
after watching this I must request a Sabaton cover of the He-Man and the masters of the universe theme, or a He-Man inspired song
Joakim guest starred in the music video "grailknights - pumping iron power" which has a he-man aesthetic to it
IDF Sayeret Matkal just letting you know. The RPG rounds "bounced off" because the Muj forgot to take the heavy plastic protector cap off of the projectile before firing. No shade thrown. Those "kids" must have been pretty excited.

It would be ironic if the video of next week be In the Name of God. That song is like a "part 1" of that song.
My first exposure to this battle wasn't the song; it was actually a Russian film loosely based on the battle, called 9th Company (think it came out around 2005). Amazing movie, but the English dub is not that great. Still got the DVD on my shelf, this video makes me wanna watch it.

From the songs about Soviet troops that Sabaton has made, it seems as if the Soviets only really shined when they were outnumbered and/or under-equipped. The Attack of the Dead Men is probably the most famous example, but Hill 3234 was another one where they were vastly outnumbered. Night Witches showed their improvisational ability with the old, outdated planes they had to fly.
Let's face it. They got their asses handed to them in the Winter War, and they outnumbered the Finns by a HUGE margin. However, that takes nothing away from the heroes of Osowiec Fortress, Night Bomber Regiment 588, and the 345 on Hill 3234.
I guess main reason of that is when equipment is appropriate and reserves are plenty, high command starts passing orders like "you should take Berlin till the 1st of May" or "Finland must fall in two weeks", and haste leads to heavy loses. While when soldiers are at a disadvantage from the very beginning, high command be like "well do what you can, we don't care anyway". And that is time when people can do their best.
When the situation is desperate AND headquarters still interfering, unit commonly doomed. Like in Battle for Height 776.
The attack of the dead men is not soviet its imperial russian and the soviets performed well even when not outnumbered like operation bagration the most succesful soviet operation of WW2 beggining on june 22 1944 and ended on august 10 and resulted in the liberation of all of belurussia and half of poland ending with the liberation of half of warsaw before stopping on the vistula warsaw and the offensive destroyed german army group center and trapped army group north to the baltic sea the following lvov-sandomierz offensive happened shortly after the beginning of operation bagration was also very succesful the equipment and vehicles used like the IS2(1944),IS2(early),T34-85 tanks and the yak 3, yak 9 and il 2 aircraft along with expert planning and experienced troops and effective and reliable equipment resulted in the succes so no the soviets dont perform well only when under equiped or outnumbered but the russian bear with its back to the wall is a incredibly dangerous foe.
I’ll get you He-Man!
I see daphne from scooby doo in Joakim's room :)
Are you talking about the 9th brigade? 9 рота? (on Russian)
Yes We are talking about them.
But it was a mistake to invite the soviets, then people saw it as a fight against occupation. Many leaders (the once that survived) of the PDPA admitted that afterwards.
I see He man and masters of the universe also Scooby doo gang in the background 👀
FINALLY!!!!
I wonder how this war would have gone if the Soviets had kept out of Vietnam. Or if the Soviet-Afghan war had occurred during stalinist times.
There is a movie about hell 3234 called 9th company
The crazy part of this story was that the mujahideen won with American-supplied weapons, and then turned them against the Americans and beat them in war in 2021!
America never supplied the Mujahideen with weapons. We supplied other fighters with weapons who the Mujahideen eventually beat.
More importantly- losing every battle then retaking control when someone leaves isn't exactly beating anyone
You should do more episodes on the carolus rex album
"Meant little to nothing in the end."
Au contraire, it meant a lot for Afghanistan, just not really in a good way. Before the Soviets kicked in the door and installed their puppet ruler, there was an equilibrium of sorts. I'm not going to say it was a great situation (mainly because I don't know precisely), but it was at least moderately stable. Visitors from overseas came to cities like Kabul and felt safe (A number of hippies made their way there at some point in the 60s), for instance. That weird mix of feudal rural zones and nationally controlled cities is kinda a standard thing in Afghanistan, and it wouldn't make for the most stable of scenarios, but a national government that was willing to work with those other leaders the right way could at least accomplish some things.
After the Soviets swept that delicate balance of power aside, things devolved into fighting between the national government (supported by the Soviets) and the warlords. And when the Soviets pulled out, there was nothing left but the warlords...and suddenly nothing for them to fight against as one. And the West also cut relations, because they were only supporting the warlords because they were fighting Soviets. Civil war breaks out, and eventually the Taliban comes out on top, with particularly harsh interpretations of the old ways being imposed on everyone. Moderates kinda became not a thing. Stir for another few years and then we get Afghanistan in 2001.
So...yeah. It's impossible to say what things would've been like in Afghanistan if the Soviets had just left well enough alone (after all, that balance of power could've been tipped by something other than a Soviet invasion), but there's a lot of things that would've been different.
Great song however I can't say that it is my favourite because more than half Sabaton songs are my favourites.
Despite all political background this was epic fight. Really Russian "Нас мало, но мы в тельняшках" style.
I love those He Man, Clint Eastwood and Scooby Doo flags behind Joakim. Old school all the way ! \m/
Joakim the scuffed mic gmod quality levels of clarity
i have a question
What question is that?
Wauu you are a He - Man fan :) It was my favorite cartoon when I was a child
Unfortunately, all wars are based on politics, and all these goals of "providing international assistance to a friendly nation" rarely lead to a positive result. It hurts a little, because it concerns my country. But to hell with politics. It was a nice discovery when I first heard the song Height 3234, after all, the Russian-Afghan war is more modern events, and the fact that you guys paid tribute to those who defended this place and told about it here, just big thank you.
P.S. Waiting for photos from the barbecue
🤘
Both sides did terrible things in that conflict. However, the women in the Soviet controlled parts of the country had more freedom than ever before. Like any conflict, there were multiple sides to the argument. The song honors some brave men. To quote Rudyard Kipling, "Oh, East is East, West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgement Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth."
Islam is the truth
Live every day like you're gonna be in a Sabaton song
I really hope that one day Sabaton will write and sing a song about the battle for the height of 776, during the Second Chechen War. It was a very dramatic episode of the war. I posted the description on Sabaton`s website. I hope you read this.
a russian musician (RADIO TAPOK) made a song about it, im not sure if it has english subtitles though
fun fact: RADIO TAPOK is actually the original creator of the defense of moscow! Sabaton and RADIO TAPOK came together to make an english version, so maybe were getting an english version someday?
When can we Order Döner‘s from Indy?
Made about Last Battle plz
I wonder if we can get Indy to do introductions of Sabaton songs like in "Art of War" or the History Edition of "Great War"
This so much!
Hehe, He-Man & Daphne from Scooby Doo - love it. Edit: Ooh,wait the others are there too! :-)
I've been waiting for this episode for so long! One of the best songs. Thanks guys
I hate history at school, but this is awesome! I wish this was wat I learned at school.
Indy looks like an old French train conductor.
In the background I saw Scooby-Doo, He-Man and what looked like Clint Eastwood. Can anyone confirm that?
Yep. Pretty sure that's from Fistful of Dollars.
There's a Russian movie called 9 rota (9th Company) about this battle.
it no so good movie, there almost all die (in reality only 6), there is no help (in reality there is artillery and soldiers with ammunition help), in film no point in height (in reality this height help soviet force leave Afghanistan and only then every soldier leave Afghanistan height 3234 get abandoned).
you better play game about it. it short and more pleasant.
not worth to buy it, but worth to play it.
For a hill men would kill.
Why? They do not know.
That was literally the first metal song I ever heard, back in '91. Love at first hearing. 🤘😍🤘
Great war and sabaton history two best places on yt. Keep up the great work!
I'm Indy Neidell, & I'm Joakin from Sabaton, & we're the Masters Of The Universe!!!
