I ended the history section today with the words, "Get in, wreak havoc, get through, job done." Okay, that was about Stormtrooper missions, but what other things in life would those words be appropriate for? A trip to McDonalds? 3rd Grade? What do you think?
Well Indy, I'm pretty sure that saying goes for my every waking moment. At least that's what my Gruesome Twosome snorted at me when we watched the episode. There may have even been calls for that to become the motto of our home. Kimberly of House Nightkind, the First of Her Name, Queen of Mandrels and the First Rings, Protector of the Seven Momdoms, the Mother of Dragons, Nuthintosee But The Boring Corn Sea, the Unbowed, Maker of Chainmaille.
I don't know if there is anything considered ok wreaking havoc. And yet it happens all the time. Just look at Ukraine right now. I like to think of myself as a peaceful person so I guess havoc is not really for me. On the other hand sometimes you just get anything done if you don't push through sometimes in a aggressive way. But I do believe you should be considered in every aspect of life, at least in peaceful times. Life is such a grey area, that there a probably always situations where you have to be reckless and "wreaking havoc ". I just never want to be in these situations
well they did in fact prepare by training in trenches specifically build for that purpse. Those were previously scouted by infiltration or air reconaissance (when that was possible obv) so this isnt as outrageous as it sounds by first glance.
Doubt a whole lot of that was relevant. Seems more a coincidence than a correlation. Plenty of soldiers were stormtroopers and achieved little of note. Plenty of soldiers weren't stormtroopers and achieved great things.
Correlation, rather than causation. The Stoßtruppentaktik was the nucleus that even the modern German army draws from. Because it draws on two simple principles: Be faster than the enemy to push your agenda onto him and human psychology. If your HQ gets hit and then the enemy is already somewhere else, everyone except the most battle hardened soldier gets nerves. I'd have to look up the video, but there was a report about a NATO exercise in Denmark (or Norway), where the Brits had get to a bridge and defend it. But when they arrived the Germans had already taken it and the scenario had to be reset. Later that day a Dane (or Norwegian) asked the Germans if they were always this fast. The answer was "No -- usually we're faster".
@@Ruhrpottpatriot Hitting the enemy fast and hard had been a long-standing Prussian and then German tradition. I recommend reading up on the Great Elector's improvised Great Sleigh Drive that ran down a Swedish army to its near destruction.
If I am not completely mistaken here now but remember right, he got his "Pour le Merite" medal for storming a strategic position as squad leader of a Sturmtrupp... also, he described and explained many of these infantry tactics in his book "Infanterie greift an" what became a standard lecture for quite some time.
‘Having taken several trench lines we rested for some time, and then, by popular request, we continued our advance’ -Ernst Jünger “Storm of Steel” (talking about the Kaiserschlact) I don’t have the exact quote, but I remember “by popular request” very distinctly. I think it sums up the Sturmtruppen pretty well.
That book in its entirety is fucking wild. I often recall the thing of him and comrades setting up artillery duds to shoot at them for fun in the boring days. Like dude did you not have enough explosions over your head yet? I specifically remember something like "bonus points if with one shot you triggered a chain reaction and blew all of them up."
OUT OF THE TRENCHES THE STORMTROOPERS RISE. This song has so much power to it every time I listen to it I want to storm a trench with nothing but a shovel and a bag of grenades
@@SabatonHistory Hi Sabaton and editors👋🏻🖥&🎤 How is your day doing? Hopefully you're having a good day. If not, hopefully it's going to be good soon. - J. Czakel From the state of Ohio, USA.
The central premise of the Stormtroopers' tactics, speed coupled with overwhelming violence and catching the enemy completely off guard, are still central to modern special forces' mentality, with mantras like 'Speed, Aggression, Surprise' favoured by the SAS for obvious acronym-friendly reasons, and 'Speed, surprise and violence of action' by the US Army Rangers (I believe). Great video, and cool getting the live format for a change. See you this Friday (at time of writing) in Leeds, looking forward to it!
11:53-11:55 In the words of Captain America: "I understood that reference." You can tell Indy did research on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 meme just for that reference.
I am gonna say this but I am very happy to know that Indy made that joke about people thinking this was about star wars stormtroopers instead of the German ones
During an attack, the infantry could only carry their personal weapons while the defenders had the advantage of their heavy weapons like machine guns. The stormtroopers were sappers who infiltrated The enemy lines and carried heavy weapons into the battle area between the enemy trenches to use during a forthcoming attack. Since naturally it required a great deal of physical strength and endurance to haul such heavy equipment they recruited only their most physically fit and bravest men for the job.
It's awesome to see historical representation of Germanic history that focuses on something other than WWII. It seems too often these days for people to only talk about that one terrible part of the Germanic people rather than anything good or interesting being done by them. Massive kudos to Sabaton for really caring about history and for trying to show how dynamic and nuanced history actually is.
@@ericolsen5592 Thanks for the note:) Somehow I've missed "Speeder." Everytime I think I'm seeing the end of the Sabaton rabbit hole, there's yet another trail to discover. Best Regards!
I'm actually pretty curious what von Hutier thought about these assaulters as well as the fact that what they were doing was somehow attributed to how he initially attacked
A really awesome song! As always, it was a great episode and an interesting story. Indy is fantastic, I really like his descriptions in the Sabaton stories. Thanks Sabaton and Indy for your instructive stories.❤
I just want to say that you guys always inspire me to continue learning about history (mostly WW1 and WW2), also wanting to become a future military historian. Stormtrooper is my favorite song you guys made. Along with The Last Battl, thank you guys so much, and continue to make masterpieces.👍🤘💣💥
@@mitchellsmith4690 Funny enough when the German General staff began to review their tactics of WW1 they acknowledged that their Stormtrooper concept was sound and began to implement it on a wider scale. The early Blitzkrieg tactics are in essence the Stormtrooper concept with tanks: locate a weakpoint in the enemy line, break it and then sow chaos among your opponent and don't let them catch their breath. And also worth of note: the Commando tactics used in the Stormtroops was kept: give the officer of a battalion an order but let him deal with it as he sees fit. Which often led to officers like Rommel to lead from the front even after he was promoted to General. There are stories from German tankers that Rommel drove by their tanks in his scout car and bashed on their tank with a wrench to push them onwards.
What I find interesting about this is that it forms the basis for modern doctrines. The Auftragstaktik (mission tactics) is still present in the German army today. There is no set of orders that comes from the top that the soldiers just have to carry out, instead there is a goal to be achieved. How this is done depends on the particular circumstances and NCOs.
Stormtroopers is one of my favourite songs. It's crazy to think it was almost scrapped. I wonder how many other bangers are just waiting on hard drive somewhere to be finished
Well machinen pistole(mp) is the German equivalent of the term sub machine gun (smg). Which is slightly confusing because they also call full auto handguns machine pistols too. But the MP18 is an smg, the original smg pretty much.
In games, SMG has a specific mechanical meaning that players will assume which has nothing to do with actual weapon classifications. High rate of fire, large magazine, short range, high recoil, poor armor penetration. Machine Pistol, Submachinegun, Shokkblasta. Call it what you will in your game, but people will put the weapon into that category in a game instinctively. It's something of a fascinating contrast between the meaning of SMG in firearms terminology, and that of games. (Table Top/Pen and Paper or Video)
Cause it was used as an sub machine gun machine pistols is just german for those kinds of guns, it doesnt fit the automatic pistol that say the c96 broomhandles does nor the more modern pdw concept such as the p90.
My wife and I are taking out kids to see Sabaton next week in Leeds. It's their first ever show, and I can't wait to see their faces when you guys blow them away!
Normal WW1 Soldiers: "OK guys, these eggs have given us a lot of trouble in the past, uh… does anybody need anything off this guy or can we bypass him?" "Uhh, I think another battalion needs something from this guy." "Oh, they need that Manufacturing Plant? Doesn’t - aren't they combat engineers?" "Yeah… but that will help him build better. I have more ammo." "Christ. OK, well what we’ll do, I’ll run in first, uh…flank them. We can kinda just, ya know, blast them all down with artillery. Um, I will use grenades to kinda scatter ’em, so we don’t have to fight a whole bunch of them at once. When my grenades are done, I’ll need the 28th to come in and continue the grenades too, uh… so we can keep them scattered and not to fight too many. When they're done, the 526th of course will need to run in and use flamethrowers. We’re gonna need snipers watching our machine gunners, so they can give cover fire to the infantry, so we can of course get to them fast, ’cause we’re taking all these guys. I mean, we’ll be in trouble if we take them down quick. I think this is a pretty good plan, we should be able to take the town this time. What do you think, Sir? Can you give me a number crunch real quick?" "Yeah, gimme a sec… I’m coming up with four point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival." "That’s a lot better than we usually do. Alright, you think we’re ready guys?" The Stormtroopers: "Alright chums, I’m back! Let’s do this… LEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIINS!"
Its something about german and german army that its so epic , legendary , prestigious and stylish. Their names uniforms weapons are all so cool regardless of the outcome of the battle. That is until 1945 .after that i see no difference between a german soldier and say a dressed up taliban. sabaton nailed all that.
If the Generals treat a Soldier like a superstar there’s a catch. Being a WW1 Stormtrooper was a suicide mission. If they were volunteers who knew what they were letting themselves in for, no doubt they had no fear in their fate and accepted death.
God I love this song I could listen to it for hours on repeat and not get bored and still get the same chill bumps I got the first time hearin it and the men were absolute badasses too
Nope, incorrect.....Grenadiers in Napoleon's army received NO extra special training than regular "line" units....their claim to fame is that they were very "Seasoned-Experienced" grunts. Sappers/Pioneers and true Skirmishers had extra training in those particular skills.
I really love and appreciate you all for making a channel like this. It shows so much abou youre meanings behind the songs and how much you care about youre community
Not even a mention of the Brasilov offensive.. I'm disappointed. So much of that went into the storm trooper doctrine. Most of it came from the offensive.
I have problably heard this song more times than the person who "made"/edited it. Played a rhythm game for +10 years now and its my 4:th most played map but.. I also mapped the song myself. However thats not enough, I also listen to it every day while driving to&home from work at the steel mill.

You're most welcome Nick, thanks for subscribing! 🤟
The stormtroopers would charge whitout hesitating
The song may have had a rough start with sucky lyrics, but it's one of my top favorites.
"A single minded determination" got me thinking about adhd hyperfocus I bet adhd would absolutely thrive in this setting
i love this channel
We love that you love this channel! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Hell ya
Me when I'm sitting in a trench in 1918 and then I get hit in the head by an E-tool
You guys should do a Sabaton histroy podcast
You guys totally should have released a April fools day episode on Star Wars stormtroopers
ur stuff should be on its own show on the history channel
I have problably heard this song more times than the person who "made"/edited it. Played a rhythm game for +10 years now and its my 4:th most played map but.. I also mapped the song myself. However thats not enough, I also listen to it every day while driving to&home from work at the steel mill.
The germans just needed the millennium falcon
"Live from the Sabaton cruise" I'm On A Boat Sabaton Cover when? 💀

And Krieg from warhammer.
And when i work out.
I clicked faster than the Panzer Elite (ghost division)
Very energetic song
Man i love our history!
