Sabaton have this awesome way of making me want to be a part of other nations. I'm British, yet I can't help but feel a sense of patriotic pride when I listen to Carolus Rex. It is a masterly crafted album. Long live Carolus!
+JasanQuinn I wore my Sweden shirt today, and was listening to Sabaton all day...I'm a quarter Swedish but today I think I was at least half or two thirds Swedish lol.
I think you misinterpret the album. it is about the horrors of war, how a few religious fanatics and warriour kings brought hell to europe. I do not think many people are too proud of these kings. Forty years of war... it ain't nothing to celibate. Even if we did gain a bit of respect amongst the nations of Europe.
Carolus Rex and Gustavus Adolphus two legendary kings. Proud to call myself swedish and proud of those who fallen in battle for the fatherland. May those who fought never be forgotten!
Awesome video.I like Sabaton very much.Sweden is one of the Greatest Nations in the World,with glorious history.I like your country and hope someday visit your beautiful land.
Ichigo Gyuunyu Who defines what is evil, tyranny and injustice? Its in my opinion more wrong to start a fight to push the own believes on others. A true warriors fights are the fights with himself. The conquering and mastering of the own life. Not going to war. True honor and warrior spirit is in you if you want. It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. Buddha
Hiroshige Miyamoto it doesn't exist anymore because it nevr really existed. noble warrior spirit is a thing bards,media and high ranking officers talk about while drinking tea. while for the warriors, it'S about having to brutally slaughter other people who would rather be at home with their families and work the fields not dying a horrible death or suffer disembermend. there are few exeptions and in small scale. (for example british ship surgeon spending hours to save one of several captured german navimen of low rank and gave him an honorful burial at sea when he didn't make it) still love the song, what sweden did for protestantism and sabaton though!
@@pvlsvnv well, yes. It was used in many other cultures aswell as a symbol of wellbeing until some retarded occultisrs groups started using it (and runes) and nazis adopted them as their symbols
@@arczi1309 Actually in Japan they use swastika as an emoji to this day...without knowing its bad meaning. Thats if the trends didnt change in the last 2 years...still they used it as an emoji, maybe still do. Its weird as fuck but whatever..
This was a very good video. Not only did it have well-made synchronization between music and images, but it also reminded me to play Empire: Total War again. Without cheat codes this time, and perhaps not on Easy difficulty... conquering the world as Sweden is always fun, the more challenging opposition the better. Glory to the Swedish Empire.
must say its a bit wrong enemies in this video :P Russia, Poland(Poland/Lithuania) Germany and the Danish would be more appropriate choices :) but still som nice screenshots :) good work man
Breitenfel was first time when europeans meet "hakkapeliitat".. I those days Finland was part of the Sweaden kingdom. Our nation was with sweadish nation and all together we run to europe. Stålhandske, De la Gardie, Torstensson; they were comanders and they all thank's how kind of maniacs they have. Gott Mit Uns.
Please remember that German, Dutch, Swedish and English are all basicly Germanic languages. Mitt=With in English Gott=God in English. It is true that during World War one God with us was on many belt buckles of the German Army. It is also true that the phrase was the rallying war cry of the King of Sweden during the thirty years war. This song is talking about his most famous battle upon the fields of Brietenfeld. [Feld=field in English, by the way]. Sweden was at this time a major power.
No, prussian infantry had it on their belt buckle for a long time before hitler. German units during the first world war had it on their belt buckles too. the nazi "utterance" you are perhaps referring to is "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" ("My honor is loyalty") worn on the belts of the Waffen-SS
It means "God with us". In the 1700 it became a field phrase, like a password, by the army of Gustavus Adolphus at the battles of Breitenfelt ( Major victory for the swede's )and some other battles.
You guys are talking about different wars, he (lukum55) is clearly speaking about the Finnish war of 1808-1809, where the main strategy of the swedish commanders was to retreat until the arrival of the main force from Sweden, oddly enough the Stockholm decided that the danish were bigger threat than the russians, so the main army never arrived, when decision to turn and fight was made in Finland, it was already too late...
"Gott mit uns" is the slogan of every German army since the Kingdom of Prussia as it was used as a battlecry by Gustavus Adolphus during the Battle of Breitenfeld in the 30-years-war when he commanded a Swedish-German army of protestants against catholic Imperial German troops
Yes during the 30-years war 1618-1648 it was used by by the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus. I think it was used as a term of identification between the soldiers loyal to the swedish king (not completly sure about the meaning about phrase though) But it was used.
Also I read your other comment, the Dutch Flag is Red White Dark Blue{As is in the picture} the Luxembourgian flag is Red white Light blue, might have had that mixed up.
yes but the Song is set in the 30 years war (the "Gott mit Uns" was the war-cry of German protestants). So for TW: Empire it is the wrong time period, but it catches the spirit of the song nevertheless.
I know that Sweden lost Finland to Russia because the king was more interested in making sure the uniforms look pretty than that the army is capable to fight. They were given the order to retreat when they were still capable to stand and fight and later they tried to make counterattacks by landing troops on the south-west shore of Finland but these were too small and scattered and Finland was lost. So, I'd say this was a pretty humiliating defeat.
While my ancestry is mostly german and I'm an American frankly, sabaton has a way of building pride in a country! I'm actually wanting to go look up the small swedish part of my family now!
You´re not wrong at all. This motto was also used by the Teutonic Order and it´s in the coat of arms of Prussia too. It was adopted by Germany after unification in the nineteenth century.
This song is about the battle at Breitenfeld, when Gustavus the Great was king. He must have been the guy on the horse. Charles comes in later in history.
The battle of Poltava took place in the Cossack Hetmanate (Zaporizhian Host), which at the time was a vassal state of Russia. So no, it was not in Germany.
sorry for responding to a month old comment but in Swedish you say ´´Gud är med oss´´ but we had many German mercenaries in the army at that time so it was common for soldiers knew two languages, or a little bit at least
From when do you say this documented history start? What year? Sweden have been in more then 32 wars, of that i'm sure of, becasue we have been in war with Denmark over 30 times alone, and as a fun fact that's the worlds record for the most wars fought between two nations in history.
I cant help but get a sense of swedish pride whenever i hear these songs. I would have liked to see how things would have looked in present time if we hadnt lost everything
Because the Saxons didn't do much fighting. Johann Georg pissed his pants at the first cavalry charge, and led his troops off the field in a panic. Breitenfeld was wholly a Swedish victory.
Sweden hasn't fought a war since 1809 when they suffered a humiliating defeat to the Russian Empire and half of Sweden was lost to Russia. And today Swedish army has been reduced to so little that in reality they will be overrun in a week if an attacker comes.
sweden was a much less developed country than rome was, while rom was being the biggest country in europe, sweden was still figuring out how to make food easier, plus we are a small country with small population and leaders who fought with eachother for the throne, so considering that we where good but we still where bad at the same time
Embarrassing moment when i saw these guys playing this live and i scream in the crowd "Gott Mit Uns, våra kungen har taaa for fuck sake!! ... Gott Mit Uns"
I do agree however that after looking at the hungarian flag the coat of arms is very close for as far as I can see it. But I remember another minor Faction in Empire total war with a Green flag I just can't remember the coat of arms.
Forza Svenska! I still Play the World Domination Campaign of TW Empire with Sweden, and Carolus Rex reigns from Sweden till Persia. My Swedish Armies are now targeting India. Soundtrack of course provided by Sabaton.
Nope, have you played Empire Total War? 1:19 That is the Dutch flag in the game from where the screen shot is taken. The 1:52 is the Hungarian army, and that is their flag in the game.
you're wrong, this is the exact time period, the swedish "stormaktstiden" aka "superpower" were at the end on 1600 hundred and beginning of the 1700 hundred
This song tell about battle of braitenfeld and that was in somewhere around 1650. And i know swedsish greatpower time was from 3 decade war until the death of Carolus Rex.
I use it as background music in Total War Empires Swedish Campaign, Russia is totally conquered by th Armies of Carolus Rex! Hey Svenska!!! Forza Sabaton. 26.09. live in Vienna.
Scorched land is a viable tactic, Napoleon, one of the greatest military minds in history owes his downfall to it. (Russians burned down towns before him, he thought he could spend the winter in Moscow and then the Tsar would surrender. The Russians burnt Moscow to the ground as he was approaching it, giving him nothing but ashes and ruining any chance of him winning the war.
I don't know if you are colorblind or what, but that flag is Red white Blue. And Hungaria is not even a playable or NPC country in Empire total war, so stop trying.
Gott Mit uns is German. Not Swedish. Hit Google Translate and try it. However it means the same in both languages. Its just a saying. Like Semperfi. Its not English, Its Latin. However its used by an English speaking military group. Just as it was used by Swedish and German soldiers.

The Sabaton is a hard and heroic band. God bless them.
That's why they are singing "Gott mit Uns" :D

i love sabaton but as a dane i have to dislike this album ;)
my ancestors conqured sweden and still live there(i mean vikings everyone who has swedish geneitcs has vikings as ancestors)
DerUnbekannte and vikings got butt fucked by the finns :D
and a army of 30,000 russians got fucked by 3000 swedish soldiers
makrill Terrorist haha no, the finns got butt fucked by the swedish :P
Awesome video.I like Sabaton very much.Sweden is one of the Greatest Nations in the World,with glorious history.I like your country and hope someday visit your beautiful land.
I get the feeling true honor and noble warrior spirit Sabaton sings about doesn't exist anymore. I really do hope I'm wrong.
Is it not better not to fight at all than to fight with honor and noble warrior spirit ?
it depends. there's a difference between fighting for the sake of fighting and fighting to stop evil, tyranny, injustice, etc.
Ah, but if there is less evil, there will be less honor then ?
Ichigo Gyuunyu
Who defines what is evil, tyranny and injustice? Its in my opinion more wrong to start a fight to push the own believes on others.
A true warriors fights are the fights with himself. The conquering and mastering of the own life. Not going to war. True honor and warrior spirit is in you if you want.

these are the songs that make me wish I had Swedish ancestry to feel even more patriotic pride for XD lol!

You've done a damn good job on the vid and the song is one of the best that is on Carolus Rex imo.
The 1:52 is the Hungarian flag in Empire Total War, the game from which are the screen shots, 1:19 is the Dutch.

Yes, i got it already that only half of the claimed hungarian flags were really hungarians ^^ Thanks for telling me again ^^
Karl IIX (aka Carolus Rex) had died in battle almost 70 years before the last battle
Der Große! I was in Potsdam, saw your casstle. It is great, really :D

No need to be sorry, thanks for the response!
This song is perfect for war
Also I read your other comment, the Dutch Flag is Red White Dark Blue{As is in the picture} the Luxembourgian flag is Red white Light blue, might have had that mixed up.
Swastika is a symbol of good fortune, in some cultures it also symbolizes the sun, and balance.
im Half German and Half Dutch,ive known German all my life and gottmit uns is German which means God with us or god be with us.
I dot know if you are dilettant or what, but even if you can't see the green colour, the kossuth blazon is clealy not dutch coat of arms ^^
they are already my favorite :p

1:11 THE BEST PART!!!
the war started in 1809 NED ended in 1812... and we didn't really loss half sweden...
