    ========= 82nd All the Way LYRICS =========
    In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee
    Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free
    Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith
    Join the ranks as a private, assigned to 338th
    There on that day, Alvin York
    Entered the fray
    Saving the day
    82nd all the way
    Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be
    Entered the war from over the sea
    Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee
    Hill 223
    When his faith has been put to the test, the call to arms he heeds
    On the 8th of October he went, made a sergeant for his deeds
    Fearless, leading the raid of the war, machinegun on the hill
    Charge the enemy taking the prisoners, by power of his will
    There on that day, Sergeant York
    Entered the fray
    Saving the day
    82nd all the way
    What Sergeant York achieved that day
    Would echo to the USA
    It’s 82nd all the way
    Death from above, what they now say
    What Sergeant York achieved that day
    Echoes from France to the USA
    It’s 82nd All the way
    Death from above, what they now say
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    In 1918, Alvin York from Tennessee led the 82nd Infantry Division against the German defensive machine gun nests on Hill 223. He captured 132 German soldiers. York became one of America’s most celebrated heroes and acquired numerous medals, including the Congressional Medal of Honor.

    By the end of the engagement, York and his seven men marched their German prisoners back to the American lines. Upon returning to his unit, York reported to his brigade commander, Brigadier General Julian Robert Lindsey, who remarked: "Well York, I hear you have captured the whole German army." York replied: "No sir. I got only 132."

    I highly recommend looking at the story of Desmond Doss - the only conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor. He never used a weapon, and yet saved over 75 people at Hacksaw Ridge in 1945. The movie Hacksaw Ridge tells his story, but the truth is even crazier - instead of evac-ing on a stretcher at the end of the movie, in real life he ended up giving his spot to another wounded soldier. After treating that soldier, a sniper shot him in the arm, fracturing the bone and forcing him to crawl 300 yards to safety. I would love to hear a song about him. :D

    NGL, I knew nothing about this until I looked up the whole story and it's just mind blowing. Alvin York was a mere corporal among 17 men attempting to storm a garrison of over 90 German soldiers fortified with a machine gun nest. When 9 of them, including their superior were wounded trying to storm the enemy's field headquarters, York took command of the remainder of his unit, and charged the the position with such ferocity that they overwhelmed the superior forces. After he killed six men charging at him with bayonets using nothing more than a submachine pistol, he then dodged fire from a leading German's officer until the officer had unloaded every last bullet in his gun. The officer, held at gun point by York, and assuming York's ragged forces had surely brought their entire 82nd division with them, surrendered himself and ordered the remainder of his men to stand down.

    My Granddad (yes, Granddad) served in WWI as a Medic with the Royal Highlanders. When my Mom passed away five years ago I went through her things & found a stack of love letters my Granddad had written to my Grandma while he was over there before they were married. The exact location is censored out by a military stamp, but I have the medals he was awarded & he was discharged after being shot & severely wounded in the shoulder. Every time I see pictures of WWI, I look really carefully to see if I can spot my Granddad. I know it's an insane longshot, but I'd love to have to have one. He died when I was just 2, but I still have clear memories of him. My other Grampa served in WWII & my Dad just missed out on Korea. I'm very proud of my family. Thank~You to ALL who keep us safe!

So an American born of two Mexican or German parents were not allowed simply because they are 1st generation if I understand the usage of the word at the time of WW1.

      ​@@davidgillespie8788 It is very cool that you was in this great unit and your great uncle was too! My great grand father was a soldier, but he is a German just as I am and therefore I can't (and don't want to) serve in his unit. He was a Major at the end of the war, leading a Panzerjägerdivision (tank hunter unit). He somehow never got a POW despite returning to Germany and being a refugee from East Germany in the 50's because he feared the soviet hunt after the Wehrmacht commanders (he was also commanding in the offense of 1941/1942 against the Soviet Union). I'm researching about him since one year, I guess, because I want to know what he did while he was a soldier (after the war he became a carpenter). Do you sometimes ask your great uncle what happened during the war or do some research? My great grandfather died eight years before I was born so I cannot ask him.

    Sargent York was one of the first great heroes I learned about as a child. A man of great faith, fueled by that faith to save as many lives as he could, and so captured the enemy, taking as few lives as possible, saving both his brothers and his enemies.
    Almost a conscientious objector from the desire to keep the 5th Commandment to not kill, he prayed and decided to go to war, and he held to that conviction: Save life before taking it.

    Another hero who I think deserves a Sabaton song: Desmond Doss.
    Desmond Doss was a combat medic in the Pacific Theater of WW2. Like Alvin York, he was a man of great faith. While his religious beliefs prevented him from carrying a rifle, he still felt the need to serve his country and he did so with great distinction.
    He is best known for his singularly courageous action at Hacksaw Ridge in the Battle of Okinawa. The American forces were ordered to take a Japanese defensive position at the top of an escarpment. He would dive headfirst into enemy fire to treat and retrieve the wounded. He would personally lower them down the sheer escarpment, bullets flying around him, each time praying “God, let me save one more”.
    Eventually, he managed to get all of the wounded down the escarpment. A captain at the base of the hill counted the wounded saved by Doss, coming to a count of 75. Other counts would put the number somewhere between 75-80.
    For his exceptional bravery, Desmond Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor.
    He was honorably discharged from the military after he was wounded by stomping on a grenade to save one of his patients. While being carried on a stretcher, he saw a wounded soldier on the ground not far away and demanded that the paramedics take the wounded man instead. He eventually made his way to the aid station while occasionally being shot at by a Japanese sniper.
    These are just a few of stories about him. He was a man singularly dedicated to compassion and saving lives. When he returned home, he got married, ran a small family farm, and passed away at the age of 88.
    It’s a quieter story than most, but incredibly inspiring all the same.

      History classes suck for the most part, but hey, there's 100% chance that 99% of all history teachers of future generations will be Sabaton fans. You know what that means, a lot of badassery and history with catchy metal infusion. North American high school history classes would study The Thirty Year's war for an entire school year because Carolus Rex is the best album of theirs. Night Witches is studied by women for feminismz history.. n stuff. Enjoy.

    My maternal grandfather served in the 82nd as a radio operator and paratrooper during World War II. Since I first listened to this song, I often wonder if he and York might’ve bumped into each other at some point. (Probably not, though; and even if he did, we’ll never really know because he never mentioned anything about it and sadly passed away when Mom was 18, well before I was born.)
    Also, I want to congratulate you guys on achieving the highly improbable: actually getting my mom, who usually dislikes metal (whilst I am a _big_ metal fan), to _really like_ a metal band. She said it’s because you guys use your musical talent and your music itself to teach history. She’s learned a lot of things she didn’t know from the handful of your songs I’ve played for her (for instance, she wasn’t aware that the 82nd existed as an infantry division before it was an airborne division, nor that the Christmas Truce was a spontaneous thing the soldiers serving in WWI did of their own volition; she thought is was an actual official truce the governments of the belligerents on all sides agreed to) and _really_ appreciates that.
    So, kudos to y’all for that, and you’re doing _great_ work all around. 💜
