If you go back far enough (1999-2005) you will find Sabaton before they adopted their history themed music (Joakim even has hair!). The song Primo Victoria from their second album (which was actually released BEFORE their first album - Metalizer - due to issues with the label) began their history themes. Joakim and Par were both history buffs and felt the history theme made writing lyrics easier and more fun. You should check out some of their tour vlogs from their channel if you want to see just how crazy they can get.
Aiming with the tank's cannon while moving on uneven terrain in the night. Dunno if they even had night vision in the tanks back then... yeah, not surprised the French got caught off guard by that. :o
Mic stands are soldiers memorials - A rifle with bayonet in ground and helmet on butt with dog-tags hanging from trigger guard is how you used tp mark temporary graves
17:25 Since Rommel came from the west instead of the east, they thought that the front has already collapsed, the country is occupied and they have been left forgotten. And when the German officer seemed pretty confident about ordering them to stand down, they figured "well, the war is probably already over". Even though the reality was that there were only about 50 tanks, trucks and motorcycles (less than 1000 dudes) that have broken through the whole French defense line.
The interesting thing with the river meus it was a major strategic crossing location but also a somewhat symbolic one. Back in 1914 the first major operation between British forces and German was at this river and the question has been asked by historians about how much was this a strategic goal and a symbolic one in Rommel's mind
My first Sabaton concert was at Sweden Rock Festival 2005. Back then they didn't ware the cammo outfit, Joakim still had a lot of hair. But the next time i saw them (a year or so later) they hade put the camouflage pants on. I tried to upload a pic from back then but couldn't find away in the comments.
Listening a live version of a song is same as watching a movie that someone recorded by phone in movie theater. Live concert like movie in theater, its only good when you are there.
The problem with today's society is everybody so goddamn thin skined. You can not fucking pick and choose what you want to remember in history is not like that history is not meant to be sugar coated history's meant to be remembered so that hopefully we don't forget and we don't make the same mistakes that we've made in the past. For good or for bad history needs to be remembered irregardless of whether you agree with it or not. That's better Damm auto correct and voice to text.
I like your reaction to Sabaton History! Number one is about the Battle of Wizna - song 40:1 about the Polish resistance in September 1939. In some countries they write in schoolbooks that Poland was weak and lost quickly - it's not what the reality was. We fought strong but due to many historical events we were not well equipped and the lack of ammunition forced soldiers to surrender, 40:1 is a great song about the Polish war history - unexpectedly performed by the Swedish powermetal band which was immediately loved and respected by Poles :-) Thank you Sabaton!
Nice reaction! A slight correction: The "division" in the title refers to the military unit of the same name. According to Wikipedia "A division is a large military unit or formation, usually consisting of between 10,000 to 25,000 soldiers. In most armies, a division is composed of several regiments or brigades; in turn, several divisions typically make up a corps."
When it is a live version you can watch the history version first. When you watch an official music video or a animated story video you can watch the history after. Those videos gives you what it is about but the live is harder. Just a suggestion

That's the bridge the field engineers constructed under fire.

Dragonforce? YES😀!
Through the Fire And Flames is the ideal starting point for Dragonforce and highly recommended.
You should check out their Stormtroopers song and history it's very fast paced and awesome
You should react to more sabaton history content.

If you like history, you should react to videos from The Fat Electrician, the most entertaining storyteller on UA-cam.
