Into The Fire - The Vietnam War - Sabaton History 061 [Official]

- During the height of the Cold War, weapons ran hot in the jungles of Vietnam. Combat along the overgrown trails, the wide open fields of rice-paddies or the marshes of the Mekong Delta, was not only exhausting and relentless, but also the place where many of the old doctrines of warfare did no longer apply. The western coalition had to face the elusive Guerilla-methods of the North-Vietnamese forces, who prepared ambushes and traps along the marching routes. The eerie quietness of the jungle was all too often broken by a sudden explosion of violence as troops marched right into the fire.

do you have plans for a similar song about the now 14-year long completly pointless war in Afghanistan? what about the Syrian War?
Isnt there the song camoflage
you didnt cover how the Vietnam war was a forced war of attrition forced by the US that gave contradictory and conflicting orders that prevent advancing. this was done because the US needed to empty out their expiring chemicals and munitions from ww2
"Good morning Vietnam" is a comedy.
@Robert Sears they didn't write it. Its really old.
Ah, I love the sound of Sabaton History in the morning. It sounds like.....knowledge.

Thearticgamer 72 Technically that wasn't a film about the Vietnam War but a film about the making of a film about the Vietnam War.
closest i can think of is Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. which takes place *&during* vietnam, but ikts never brought up, because it was beleive that if Gomer were ever shipped out, the show would lose what it was

@Karafallout 1992 so? Its still about Vietnam
@Karafallout 1992 into the fire isn't a 'true story' either. Its just a vague idea really. Great song. Always makes me think of the end of Platoon with its imagery
Its a cover
Ye
Indy Neidell: This is your only song about vietnam
Camoflauge: Am I a joke to you?
Camouflage is a cover of a song from the 80´s i believe, so not texted by them. That makes this the only real Vietnam themed song by Sabaton
Purple Heart is somewhat Vietnam related I guess

WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT THE F***K IS THAT?!
Small thing, but Indy’s comments about being a kid reminded me of this. My mom, who was also born in the ‘60s, talks about how three of the defining memories of childhood were watching the napalm explosions on the news, her quiet and generally kind brother coming home from Vietnam and being utterly changed, violent and angry all the time, and also the time she forgot to close the window and the DDT spray came through her window. She said she could feel it coat the insides of her mouth and nose as she was breathing and it made her sick for a few days.
what does ddt mean? Not a native English speaker, so apologies for my dumbness😜😂
@@sebbi8360 DDT is an insect repellant. Or rather thats was the plan.
It is dangerous for humans as it could lead to severe health problems.
And the big issue is, it did not was away.
Plants and animals got in them, and where eaten by humans, wich made it pass into us. and our body could not break it down.
A theory goes; That is probably why so many people died earlyer for 30/40 years ago.
And not only them who had hard labour on farms, but also those who ate food from those areas.
Our WWI vets are gone. Soon our WWII vets will vanish as well. Talk to Korean and Vietnam War vets while we still have them and learn their stories. My dad was a med-evac pilot with the 101st, who flew into combat zones to retrieve the wounded. The VC would intentionally wound GI's because they knew it would bring more to get them out. My dad's helo got hit by sniper fire as they descended into a narrow opening in the jungle. Aborting the landing because it was too hot, he took off and made an emergency landing at a nearby friendly zone. As they shut the aircraft down, the engine didn't ease down as you normally see a helo do; the engine ground to a screeching halt just a couple minutes after landing. They had taken a hit in the transmission's vitals somewhere. Had they been in the air as if routine, the whole crew and aircraft would've been lost as it would've seized up midflight. He received the DFC for quick thinking, immediate action, and saving his crew and aircraft.
Now we enter my Dad's era of being in War. My dad served in Vietnam, he was a demolitions expert and would be the person to call when they had to blow up a roadside bomb. He handled C4 and all kinds of explosives. I've seen photos he shot. Some cool, like a Huey going down in a field, and an airstrike. And some....not so cool looking pictures, like the aftermath of a roadside when refugees got caught up in it. My dad is lucky, nowhere near agent Orange, and seen lots of death and destruction that he was able to walk out of it without his mind breaking. He is the most caring, critical thinking man you would ever meet and would be surprised if he said he was boots on the ground during that war. And later he became a Drill Sergeant! That was a great growing up experience, lol. He is still alive, and very healthy.
A funny story he told me was he was arguing with his CO about something, but he had a brick of C4 in his hands. Now for those who don't know, C4 needs a charge to blow up and is very durable by itself. So he sat there and emphasized his points by slamming this brick of C4 on his CO's desk during this exchange, making him jump each time. He told him "why are you so jumpy, it's harmless now" when he left.
I guess that's why they call them "plastic" explosives. It's pretty hillarious anyway :D
C4 also known as angry play-doe
My father arrived in nam at the height of the Tet offensive. He was a member of the 199th Infantry Brigade, was a bodyguard to a chaplain and Medal of Honor recipient named Charles Liteky, also moonlighted as a tunnel rat. He was not so lucky in regards to Agent Orange exposure or PTSD, especially since he was assigned to Walter Reed's Traumatic Amputee ward when he returned home. To say he saw some shit is an understatement. He IS quite literally too angry to die, seeing as he's survived cancer and a heart attack.
I may not agree with the government sending soldiers to die in Vietnam, but I respect those who served. Respect to the Vietnam veterans and I do not think their treatment after the war was justified at all. My grandfather might have also been in Vietnam but he's not a good guy for unrelated reasons so we don't really talk about him. Nevertheless, those who served do deserve respect for their service

This time I had the wine ready when I saw the title of the episode. Indy + napalm + Sabaton = instant heart beat intensifier.
I'd say that Napalm alone justifies a raised heartbeat
Can't argue with that!
Careful mixing uppers and downers lol
@Phillip Shirkey I do believe that that is literally the opposite of cold
Remember kids, napalm sticks to vc
I met a nice old gentleman once who told about his time working in "operation delta" in Vietnam.
I looked it up later and came to find this nice old man was literally going behind enemy lines, capturing enemies, sabotaging equipment. A real badass. RIP, he later died...
_Always beware the Nice Ones..._
everyone dies
He has a place in Valhalla
For Indy a equivalent of mash made in Vietnam war is " Good morning Vietnam"
Or operation dumbo drop. Tropical Thunder is kinda a Vietnam comedy as well
saw that... great film
@Jay Olvera immediately before that he was talking about deer hunter. hes talking about media, and uses two tv examples
“I was born in the 60’s” so not history dad. History grandpa.
VanTwinblade Indy is a Boomer!
@@ferrjuan dont ofend him lol
Juan Ferreira but he’s a good one.
@@ferrjuan NO! Boomers stopped being born in 64. He's Gen X, but that's ok, we'e used to being forgotten
clarencepcanine he is considered a boomer cuz anyone born 1945-1975 cuz America experienced a baby boom after the three major wars that America fought WW2, Korea and Vietnam. While Gen X is anyone born during peacetime from 1975-1984.
Indy mentioning DDT reminded me of how my grandma some time ago called me and panicked about "obvious DDT apples" she had just bought from a grocery store. I told her that stuff is no longer used, but she was like "Oh please! I grew up with DDT, I know its smell!" So she called the customer service and yelled at them. When they sent her a 5€ gift card, she considered it as a confession that they had indeed sold poison apples. And what did my grandma buy with the 5€? More apples.
Did she at least go buy them at a different store?
@@GhostBear3067 No she didn't, because she likes apples from the brand Golden (I don't remember where they're from), and those apples are sold only in one particular store in her small hometown. She then bought the same apples, and I of course had to ask "Smell any DDT in those?" And she replied "No no, these are good."
@Karafallout 1992 I've actually never thought about it like that. But yeah, I guess she often acts like an idiot, even though I know she's not one. She's just extremely impulsive and therefore sometimes very irrational, which has been getting worse with her aging...
@@TheMmus my grandma is the same way
@@Leoluvesadmira Frustrating, isn't it? :/
Back 5 years ago in high school, we took a trip to Vietnam on a service trip, and at a rehabilitation village outside of Hanoi we helped with victims of agent orange and there was this woman who had severe napalm burns. Changed me.
My Dad is a Vietnam Veteran.🇺🇸 Knowing now what happened to him over there, I don't know how he didn't come home in a flag-draped box, obviously God protected him. It was a horrific war, that should not have happened, and Washington DC tied the hands of the military.
My brother and I were very little, both still in diapers, when my dad went to Vietnam for 13 months. He came home with a lot of issues. As little kids, we thought it was funny that my mom would wake him up from a nap, from across the room, with a broomstick; we grew up to understand why.
My mom also, sometimes has to sleep in another bed, because my dad thrashes around so bad, fighting someone in his dreams, and leaving my mom accidentally with bruises.
The nightmares went away for a long time, but they came back when he lost his beloved SonIL, who was also in the Air Force, and killed in Afghanistan. My mom had told us that "they" came back, when we saw her with bruises. I was over at their house, waiting for one of my kids who was up flying with a friend, and I opened a soda can, and saw my dad go immediately into combat mode, from the sound of me opening the soda can. We immediately got him help at the base.
Despite the issues that plagued my dad from being in Vietnam, my mom always stood with him, she is a proud Air Force spouse. They're going to be married 58 years in a few weeks.
❤💙
My Dad just knew he was going to be drafted, so he enlisted when he was 17, so he could choose the branch he went into. He did go into the best branch, which is the Air Force. He made a lifetime career of it, and my siblings and I grew up proud AF Brats! 💙🇺🇸
As the Timeghost team our up most respect for his son lost in Afghanistan and his service. your comment shakes our heart and its what inspire us to do this. to remember all people the ones that came back and those who didn't from both sides.
I feared that you wouldnt upload bc of corona, pls keep it up for as long as possible! I love all your vids
Indy and the team are working as long as it is possible :)
@@SabatonHistory thank you this is giving me hope
I think that they have som prerecorded episodes so don't worry too much
@@ISS600 I really hope that you are right
@@monkeymeier4811 I remember in the winged hussars video they mentioned it was still 2019 because Sabaton were on some cruise so I'd say they have some
My grandfather was a drafted U.S Marine in Vietnam. He passed away from lung cancer in 2010, a few months before his 63rd birthday
I’m from New Jersey, they made agent orange in Newark and dumped all the toxic waste in the water ways. Still almost more than 5 decades it hasn’t been cleaned up and is extremely hazardous
Into the fire is one of my favorite songs on Primo Victoria. I play the song while playing Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Nothing is nicer than hearing the jets above drop napalm on a forest while hearing the song blast “INTO THE FIRE!”
My dad grew up in the Vietnam Era. He saw it all. The protests. The Kent State Riots. The music. Many of his sister’s friends were sent to Vietnam. They ended the draft within a couple months of his 18th birthday. He was lucky
My grandfather was a track coach for 25 years and made into the Olympics once or twice. Many boys he coached got drafted. Many of them died. He went to the Vietnam Memorial in DC a few years ago, and my mom said seeing their names was difficult for him
Indy: you only have one song about Vietnam
Camouflage: am I a joke to you
Purple Heart: hmm can I join too
That was my first thought too
Camouflage is just a cover from stan ridgway's song
Vietnam is probably, along with the Great War, one of the most pessimistic wars of the last century or so. The images of both of those wars tend to stand in stark contrast to the others.
*There will be no history lessons this week due to corona.*
Sabaton History: Hello there.
Sabaton fans: Sabaton History, you're quite the bold one.
I worked with a Vietnam vet. He's in his 60s or 70s but he's the hardest guy I've ever known. He's stared down guys with guns and didn't even flinch. I know it's cliche, but they really don't make 'em like that anymore.
Was he like Clint Eastwood?
My dad was there. He was in Da Nang. Still alive, my old man is 73. :)

He could be 51 born in 1969blike my father
Indy was born in 1967 so he's 52
My father's closest friend served in Vietnam. As part of the 9th Marines, "The Walking Dead"
My daughter will have a history test when her school re-opens after the Coronavirus quarantine gets lifted. Thanks to Sabaton and Indy for taking care of her history needs. 🤘😁
Cheers! Good luck with the test!
This ought to be good to learn about.
It is also one of the songs I found as one of the first one. It is a good one. But just like the Falkland War and the Gulf War. It ain't that long ago.
Yet, you can feel effects to this day.
Also, Sabaton. By just focusing on one thing, the jungle combat and what it all was, you avoided getting dragged in stuff you don't want to be a part of.
You definitely have a point there.
50+ years ago. 'Allo 'allo was closer to WW2 than we are to the Vietnam war.^^
I suspect that it has more to do with the USA not winning.
Love the mention of Hogan's Heroes. One of my favorite shows! That and McHale's Navy were two good ww2 comedies.
My dad brought home a season of it and now, moved out, I own the full series and regularly laugh at it! What's even more interesting is Louis Labou's character was played by a man who's childhood was spend in a concentration camp. He talked about his experiences in a documentary about comedy and if theres things we shouldn't joke about.
And somehow, Sabaton don't have a song about the napoleonic wars! How can that be?
History is way too wide, give 'em time ;)
Next Album. Hopefully
While MASH was set during the Korean War, it (and especially the film) was a condemnation of the Vietnam War. It was a work-around to be able to criticise the war without drawing too much political flak from supporters of the war (mostly hardline, pro-war congressmen). While it is a funny show (I still don't pass up the chance to watch re-runs), it did not shy away from the trauma and hardship US personnel faced when it could get away with it. The episode where Hawkeye keeps telling the story about killing a chicken is particularly harrowing when it reaches it's climax, and was obviously a story more suited to the realities of Vietnam, not Korea.
I love these. My grandfather servered towards the end of this war.
The movie 'good morning vietnam' is a pretty funny Vietnam era movie
I was thinking the same thing
could you count Tropical Thunder? Operation Dumbo Drop?
He was talking about TV series, though.
@@carsons5750 kinda. it sounded more like he was talking about media in general and just used those as quick examples. Like if someone says name a comedy about the Korea war, first thing is MASH. Someone says WWII first thing is HH's. He could have just as easily said the Dads Army movie, or The Great Dictator.
@@5hiftyL1v3a I mean he says "comedy series" at 13:53 and then mentions two TV series...
I’m so glad someone finally mentioned the Aussies! Coming from an American btw
Talking about Napalm and "Into the Fire" gets me excited for when they will cover Firestorm.
I don't know of any other time my grandfather spoke of his experiences in Vietnam until I was getting ready to leave for basic training, a brief 10 minute conversation about the friends he no longer had. He hugged me and for the first time in my life I saw him cry. As much as I want to know more, I don't think I have it in me to ask him.
Hallo to you all 🤘🏻!!!
I am glad to hear from you in these days!!! Dankeschön für this Part of our history my greatest respect !!!
Bitte bleibt gesund 😊liebe grüße Alex 🤘🏻🍻😎
@Sabaton History
I thank you so very much for this❤️it’s much worth for me in these days 😃bitte bleibt alle gesund 😊liebe grüße Alex 😘
My grandfather is a retired United States Army Colonel and West Point graduate. His name is William Robbins and he was in the 173rd Airborne Brigade “Sky Soldiers” and attached to the 16th Armor. The 173rd were the SEAL Team 6 of Vietnam; first men, last men out. Elite troops and top of their class. He was deployed to Okinawa after which he was stationed at Bien Hoa Airbase in Southern Vietnam. He was also the commander of an M56 Scorpion self-propelled anti-tank gun vehicle. He survived as well. Two tours he served in Vietnam, and I am very proud to call him family.
bruh am Vietnamese, thanks to Sabaton and World of Tanks team. You guys are doing very well
"only into the fire has anything about vietnam"
Camoflage
Soldier of 3 armies
even in the army now could be considered a reference to it
Camouflage and In the Army Now are covers. Soldier of Three Armies is more Törni's story than a Vietnam War story.
Have you considered making a playlist that has the songs in chronological order? I know it can be tricky because some songs aren't about specific battles (Aces in Exile) and because sometimes two songs cover the same battle, but I find listening to the songs themselves chronologically interesting. Like, I never realized that Winged Hussars occurs in the middle of the Carolus Rex album. But it would be nice to have an official listing to base my playlist on instead of guessing in those tricky cases.
Aces in Exile talks about the allied pilots in the Battle of Britain.
I had three uncles in Vietnam.
Only one talked about it and the other two spoke about it before they passed away.
From what i learned as an Infantryman in the Army and visiting the NIMS, literally Vietnam was no joke and really changed our tactics tremendously.
But also technology such as the suppressor and night vision optics came to life. The hushpuppy and starlight optic are examples of these
Vietnam is especially interesting because so many veterans are still alive today. My grandpa was in the air force and did reconnaissance looking for enemy positions. He told me how when they flew over friendly bases they would do little air shows to improve morale for the soldiers on the ground.

Cries in Camouflage
Well my first time commenting on your videos. My grandfather was a Vietnam veteran, served in the force recon in the war. He survived the war, but would die from cancer caused by agent orange.
Welcome to the comment section! Thanks for sharing!
The class wasn't as responsive as I hoped, but a few weeks ago I tried to get some students to compare and contrast "Into the Fire" with the old shanty "Napalm Sticks to Kids". I also tried Sabaton's "Bismarck" versus "Sink the Bismarck" by Willie Horton. Mostly the conclusion was that I should be teaching High School, not grade school.
This is my favorite Sabaton song. It just sends a great chill down my spine whenever I hear that opening cord followed by what is perhaps the most aggressive Sabaton song.
Deer Hunter is an amazing film! And Big Lebowski is not set in Vietnam but Walter talks a lot about it!!!
Into the Fire is one of my favorite songs from Sabaton. Thanks for this.
IT'S ABOUT FREAKING TIME! My favorite Sabaton song! I have never understood why more people don't see how freaking amazing this song is!
Speaking of Vietnam, when are you guys ever gonna do a song about Carlos Hathcock?
Fuck yeah
Coming home from work, seeing an episode on one of my favourite songs. Thanks, guys!
You guys have no idea how much have I waited for this!! Great job as always! I hope to see Soldier of 3 Armies as well...
"deadliest staring contest in history" he's not wrong lol
Quarantine can last as long as it likes, I've got sabaton and sabaton history to teach me new and interesting things!
Finally my favorite Sabaton Song. Glad I heard i live a couple of times back in the day. It usually played before or after primo victoria and it was kick ass!
I'd love to hear more about this conflict from sabaton. There are tons of insane stories.
Thank you for another great video !! Love this song because of the topic I’ll make sure to share this with my classmates, cheers from the lone star state!! 🍻
History served with powerful guitar and bass, a mohawk, shades, and a six pack... Sabaton noch ein bier! Noch mehr Geschichte!
I firmly believe that I have learned more outside of school than I did while I was in. The various history channels on UA-cam I’ve subscribed to, and you guys as well, have helped expand my knowledge! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
Love the riffs, drums, lyrics and the power. Fantastic song
love your work. yours is a light in the Dark. ;)
just a suggestion: please do a whole album on Napoleonic wars
This is epic, cancel my online history lessons and gimme this
I looked up Vietnam War for combat footage but I came out with a new favorite band about a year year and a half ago
Sabaton's cover of Camoflauge is still my favorite Vietnam War Song of all time!
I remember my mom telling me that someone she met once told her that your eyes pop when you're set on fire. I don't know if it's true or not but napalm is brutal nonetheless
I love the sound of sabaton in the morning it sounds like greatness
Great episode guys! Love this channel ❤ Keep up the great work ❤
Thanks for the support Bex!!
nice of you to talk about this topic. my dad and uncle were both in vietnam near its end.
If you have scene the "Odd angry shot" an Australian war it reflects the serious side and the comedic side of the Australian Army in in the Vietnam war. worth a watch.
My uncle in the neighborhood was a Laotian translator in Vietnam. I can't remember what he said about it, all I can remember is that he was visiting a field hospital and an RPG rocket hit his jeep and a shrapnel got near his eye. When I spoke to him again earlier this year, he didn't bring it up again. I'm thankful that he is okay.
12:33 That's the thing about being an american : during all of your life, there's a war going on waged by the US.
Laura Low unless you lived for five years during the Great Depression
We dont know when to stop beating country's up we dropped the sun on Japan twice
Yeah but most of those are to short to count as an actual war.
kyriss12 a war is still a war no matter how short, perfect example is the 6 hour war between Denmark and Germany
@@Kylel0519 38 minute war. Britain and Zanzibar I wanna say?
China Beach was a show about a base in Vietnam, it has a happier tone than most other Vietnam themed media, but it has serious moments and entire episodes about serious topics. Either way I highly recommend it
The boys, they call me "Camouflage ".
Indy, you forgot about Good Morning Vietnam. I do realize that parts of it are dark.
also operation dumbo drop. And I guess you could kinda count Tropical Thunder.
Probably my favorite channel on youtube
My grandfather was in veitnam. He was a sniper on a boat that would protect the barges and he would drive the fast blowup boats ahead every once in a while to neutralize enemy water mines. He also got shot in the foot by a veit kong sniper.
I love the smell of Sabaton History in the morning.

Vietnam: how cute
Korea: back at you, kiddo
@@Death_Korps_Officer get kicked anyways
@@Death_Korps_Officer korea just full of mad soldiers, VC don't touch them bcuz they gonna masscare civillian for revenge, australia soldiers fight more fair and better !
Something should be written about the fact that, after going through all that, they weren't even welcomed home. Please, Sabaton, help us thank them for their courage before it's too late.
They already did. The song "Purple Heart."
There’s actually alot of monster stories from the Vietnam War. Like one where there’s a giant snake that tried eating a Huey chopper.
If you wanted to do some more songs about Vietnam I highly suggest doing one about Major Bruce Crandall and his wingman Captain Ed Freeman both of which are medal of honor recipients for their actions during the Battle of Ia Drang. One quick look into them and their deeds is all you need to know that these men should never be forgotten and probably deserve a kickbutt Sabaton song about them.
Notification squad reporting as ordered to get our weekly dose of Sabaton History
Awsome video like it can you do a video about camouflage?
I love this song 🤘💪❤️amazing episode, thanks Sabaton history 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you! :)
I could have watched that for 2 hours. I love the Sabaton history Channel
Thanks for watching us! We love reading messages like this 🤘
@SabatonHistory do you have an official spotify? I seen some sabaton history related Playlist but I wasn't sure how official it was
Hi Guys, i really enjoy your show. Having the background story of the songs make them more enjoyable. Great work!
However, there is a little mistake in this one. "Into the Fire" is not the only song about Vietnam. There is also "Camouflage" from The Last Stand".
Anyway. Looking forward for next episode!
While Sabaton didn't write it, they did a cover of "Camouflage" which is also a Vietnam War song. Frankly, while the original "Camouflage" is good, I prefer Sabaton's version. They tightened up the lyrics so that the twist at the end comes as a bigger surprise.
My G-dad fought in Vietnam and was awarded the medal of valor and later became a 2 star general please sabaton history do more on Vietnam in a new album when the time presents itself
Wow! This is very interesting!
One of the best songs on my run playlist by far.
Perfect video to start my birthday with
Happy Birthday!
Thanks
Happy birthday Apache! I'll be continuing my nuclear winter in your honor! - StuG from the Sabaton Discord.
Into the Fire is still one of my favorite songs from Primo Victoria. The opening riff still gets me pumped up whenever I hear it.
The only TV series about the Vietnam War that I know of is Tour of Duty, but that was a military drama, not a comedy (still a good show, though). It was my weekly fodder when I was a kid.
And if we're talking about bands that had songs about the Vietnam War, I feel it's only fair to mention German thrashers Sodom, who made tons of songs about it (with Agent Orange being their most famous one).
Oh how good was the first season or two of Tour of Duty! It all went downhill when they decided they needed to incorporate more women into the cast, so they had to move the focus into the citys and towns. After that it kinda lost me - its stopped being about humping in the jungle.
I've been told the VC never overly bothered the Australians because the Australians were better at jungle combat than the VC were lol
well the aussies had just finished fighting insurgents in Malaya during the Malayan Emergency so they knew how to fight in jungles
As an Aussie I can't say how true that was. There are stories about the Americans making simple arse mistakes that the Aussies already knew how to deal with (the most famous being the Aussies having camo drinking flasks while the US had Stainless Steel ones) but those could be just that....stories.
What I can say is that from an Aussie perspective my Uncle (who recently passed but fought in Nan) always held that that Americans were scarier then the VC. The VC would always intent to kill you and rarely risked Friendly fire....you knew where you stood with them.
The Americans urge to fire into blind scrub as Indy pointed out got a lot of friendly fire incidents, and as he hinted at, their was far to many friendly fire accidents with Nalpalm.
Would love to have a whole Vietnam themed Album from Sabaton.
12:37 can we talk abt the WoT barrel chillin out
At one point, World of Tanks allowed them to film on WOT sets, because they didn't have access to their own studios at the time.
