    One of the reasons why the Bismarck was so swiftly hunted down wasn’t just because it was one of the few German battleships in the Atlantic but also because the HMS Hood was the Pride of the British Fleet and a whole task force was assembled to hunt it down and sink it in revenge

      @tfs203 Рік тому +6

      When an 1800lb shell explodes in your Main Powder magazine for C -Turret, and a magazine of 4" AA shells, any ship is going to have a bad day. Not to mention Hood had all of her blast doors open during the Battle, to move shells faster throughout the ship, but it doesn't matter if don't have time to close off, and flood the entire turret. Only 3 men survived, and their is an older Interview with one of HMS Hoods 3 survivors, and 2 survivors from Bismark. If u can find them, it's worth watching.

    • @Nyx_2142
      @Nyx_2142 Рік тому +6

      It still amuses me that Hood was considered the "Pride of the British Fleet" when damn near every sailor I've heard or read talk about their time on her only had bad things to say about the ship itself and the state she was in (rusted and machinery was worn out and broken nearly constantly), and how she was obsolete years before the war was even on the horizon. I've heard from relatives of sailors that served on her years before the war, and luckily got transferred, talk about what a shitty state she was in. Feel like "Pride of the British Fleet" could've gone to many other ships that weren't an obsolete, rusted, and breaking down Battlecruiser from 1916.

    • @Prankester6856
      @Prankester6856 Рік тому +4

      The main reason this task force was even assembled was because the Bismark was heading towards the Atlantic to reck havoc on the allied supply lines from the Americas the sinking of the hood only fuled the anger and determination to hunt it down, They literally called ships like the Rodny , the ark royal the aircraft carrier in the video from Gibraltar and probably 5 more ships from Scotland it just shows you how big of a threat this ship was

    I guess you could say Sabaton fits one of the themes of power metal; they are akin to bards telling a story.In the case where other power metal bands tell often fictional stories of knights and elves, Sabaton tells the stories of people who lived, things that actually happened. They tell stories of impressive acts of valor, of behemoth war machines with a deadly reputations, with men who's strategy, about events, about people who shaped history for all time. I feel there's something deeper about that.

Back in the 80's, and early 90's, metal like THIS (very Maiden, Savatage, Crimson Glory - esque sounding/inspired) we simply referred to it as RESPECT Metal. Not thrash...yet not a "fluffy/comerical money grab". Just legit, well produced, anthem Metal. Nice! \m/

I saw the two of them play together (along with Delain) on the Endless Forms tour at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom in 2015, and it's probably been my favorite concert on record. So glad you're getting yourself intertwangled (couldn't decide between intwined and entangled....) in these great bands. I already watch a number of reactors who inform me about the technical side of the music, but you give me a greater appreciation of the technical side of *production,* which I've never gotten before.

    "40:1" live at Woodstock Poland 2012
    "Ghost division" same show
    "The red baron" live in Berlin 2019
    "Primo Victoria" although the official video is epic as hell do the lyric version. The tank noises in the video cover up too much of the song.
    "To hell and back"
    "Screaming eagles"
    "Devil dogs"
    "Seven pillars of wisdom"
    And "metal crew" and "metal machine" are more akin to the history of metal music than warfare but I'm betting you'll love em.
    (And this is the short list)

There are just so many reaction videos where the people pause the song during a solo, the chorus or a breakdown and that is hands down the worst thing you could do.
    Also the "tank facts" are awesome, it shows that you don't do the reactions just for the views, but also because you are interested in the music, the songs and the bands.
