The Warsaw Uprising was a tragedy. The Poles started it hoping that the Soviet troops just on the other side of the river would come to their aide. The Soviets sent in a Polish unit that suffered heavy casualties, so the Soviets stayed back. Everyone fought, men, women, most famously the Boy scouts and Girl Guides. The US tried to airdrop supplies but missed their zones. The Germans finally broke the resistance by forcing Polish civilians to walk in front of their troops as human shields. Afterwards the Germans forced everyone from the city, some being sent to the concentration camps, and leveled 95% of Warsaw to the ground. To this day every August the city of Warsaw stops and remembers W-hour
@@archae6451 That was during the Warsaw Uprising. The Soviets sent over a Polish unit that got decimated crossing a bridge, so the Soviets decided they would wait till it was over and watched as the Nazis leveled the city
I actually researched this moment a while ago. Soviets didn't helped not because they didn't wanted to, but because they simply couldn't. It happed because they suffered heavy losses in a tank battle of Radziemin. Also their supply line were overextended due to rapid success of Bagration offensive operation. At the same time, the German units received fresh reinforcements (which later almost defeated the 3rd Tank Corps of General Vedeneev. And yes, the Soviet troops were indeed on the "other side", but how close? In fact, the first Soviet units approached the Visla river only in mid-September 1944, when the uprising was already suppressed and all the bridges were blown up by the Germans. The Soviet General Staff (Stavka) knew about the Warsaw uprising, but they could not do anything about it, because they themselves were subjected to constant artillery shelling and the harsh and strong counterattack from the Wehrmacht. It is believed (which was also noted by the Soviet Marshal Rokossovsky (a Pole by origin)) that the reason for the failure of the Warsaw uprising was ... ego. The ego of the commander of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), Tadeusz Komorowski, who did not want the city to be liberated by the Red Army. On August 1, he ordered the start of the uprising when the nearest Red Army forces were 500 kilometers from the Polish capital. When the leaders of the Home Army realized that they could not cope on their own, they contacted the leadership of the Red Army and they began to use aviation in a limited way (it was difficult to bomb the city point-by-point on German positions).
Yeah the polish uprising is something I wish was talked about more. the poles resistance was so fierce the Germans responded by bombing warsaw to the ground. estimated 85-90% of all buildings. if you visit warsaw the historical district is actually remakes of the buildings from photos and memories. after all the polish have been through can they PLEASE get a break
It's a song of a real event that happened in 1944 with real footage of the Uprising of Warsaw, where no help came to the people of Warsaw from the Allies. Thousands of Men, Women and Children died fighting to free there City from the Nazi's who controlled their City. God bless Polska. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
@@lechu4748 For "some feason"? Have you heard their songs? 40:1 This one And probably two other. Poland is like the gold mine for history-related music.
For the question if they only sing about WW2 the answer is no. I'd recommend: Seven pillars of wisdom. The official music video. The last stand. The official music video.
Great reactions and welcome to the world of Sabaton. You really have to react to: Bismarck (Official Music Video) No Bullets Fly (Animated story video) Night Witches (Animated story video. Important to choose the long version. 7:22) En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great tour - Gothenburg. Really important to have closed captions on) Always watch until the end and always have closed captions on if possible.
Around when this song came out I had a conversation with some of my army and marine friends (descriptor of their backgrounds, not mine) as well as a polish friend while playing video games. The pol said something I’d always known but never put into words. “For you, the 2nd great war ended in your grandfather’s days. It’s history. For me, it ended when I was ten and the Soviet Union collapsed. I grew in occupation.”
I'm glad you guys are doing Sabaton reactions, but I think you need to do the history episodes from their channel Sabaton History as well to get the full experience. Plenty of times the music is great, but the story behind the song is even greater.
Sabaton is all about stories of war. They pick stories of great curage and valor, without picking sides. They also have a history cahnnel telling the stories of their songs. And when you can get a german crowd going wild, to a song about an american killing a lot of germans in WWI (82. all the way), youre doing something right...
This video was made by the Poles for the Uprising museum. It was used for this song . One of the resistance officers is actually the Deputy defense minister. And the German officer is a famous actor who made a fortune playing Nazi officers in movies. You want a real education go to Sabaton history Channel 40;1 And the line about children fighting is true the Polish boy scouts fought for Warsaw.
Yes, some parts of the video included real footage of the Warsaw uprising (which was the biggest uprising of WWII, started by the Polish resistance to try to win our capital back before the Soviets do it - sadly, it failed due to lack of any outside help, and resulted in over 200 000 casualties, mostly civilians, and something like 80% of Warsaw being completely destroyed either in the fight or afterwards methodically exploded and burned down by the Germans in revenge). I highly recommend watching the Sabaton history video corresponding to this song (the band has a separate channel where they discuss the history behind each of their songs with an actual historian). As for not-WWII songs by Sabaton - try e.g. "Carolus Rex" (about a Swedish king), "Winged Hussars" (17th century siege of Vienna and the biggest cavalry charge in history) or "Shiroyama" (about the last battle of the Samurai). I also very recommend their "No Bullets Fly" animation. It's an amazing (and true, of course) WWII story - just bring some tissues!
If anyone scrolls down far enough and is curious then have some knowledge: 1. The "P" sign, with the bottom that looks like a fishing hook that was shown a couple times in the clips, is a combination of P and W and means "Polska walcząca" so in English "fighting Poland", during the whole war scouts and children too young to actually fight would paint it on walls and building to remind people to never give up hope 2. One more thing they would paint was "pPp" or a turtle for "pracuj Polaku powoli", which roughly translates to "Poles, work slowly", since a lot of Poles were forced to work in factories supplying Nazis people making the signs urged them to make the items as slowly as possible to inconvenience the oppressors
Again, fun is not the reaction I would describe this video. What about your reaction to the men, women and children dieing to save their city? Sabaton is telling a story, did it not move you in some way?
The greatest travesty was that the Hermans left not a single building standing. Warsaw was -ground into dust- and removed from Nazi maps, erased from existence. Today’s Warsaw is actually a reconstruction, based as close as possible on old remnant maps and pictures and paintings left over, as well as returning citizens offering their memories as to what the city needed to look like in areas.
Fun fact about this video: Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, you do see Peter Stormaire in the video. In case you were wondering, he plays the Russian cosmonaut in Armageddon (1998), Command & Conquer 3: Red Alert (2004?), and the Czech god of death in American Gods. Other than Bill Skarsgåard, he is my favorite actor. And I would suggest, if you want to see another epically-produced video, I recommend Christmas Truce.
Some info about video: Part of that video is from movie called Uprising from year 2001. And that black and white is actual footage mixed in that movie.
1:28 Sabaton sings of all the heroes throughout history. They are not restricted to only World War 2. They have songs about World War 1, and other wars before, in between and "after?".
I guess their songs "Devil Dogs", "Screaming Eagles", "82nd all the way", "Primo Victoria", "To hell and back", "The lost battalion" and "Into the Fire" will please the U.S. subscribers! :-)
Strange reaction and it's hard to judge it positively, nothing about music, song text or history ... just costumes, pyrotechnics and whether parts of the clip are original and the like.
Fun fact: when there cleaning the guns in the music video you can see a rare French submachine gun of the second world war. Production of it didn't really take off because the Germans had taken over France at the time
Let it be known that the Polish version of the boy scouts volunteer for the fight so they are not exaggerating by saying children fought and die in warsaw
Few years old kids were on "frontline" there too, not only scouts. They were running with orders or medic packs for field nurses, because they were small and easy to hide or fit in the holes in walls.
Well, I think that foreigners will never understand the war we (Poland) always had. A good eye-opening is the short video about all of that: The Unconquered | ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html
It's not a pyrotechnics :( these are authentic film photos from the uprising taken by insurgent filmmakers, woven into the music video, there are a lot of them in the video.
The scene where the Nazi pours alcohol and lights a match resembles the event of most of Poland being blown and burnt to the ground most of Poland is a reconstruction of the old buildings.

Wasnt there a thing where the soviets stood just across a river from where the poles were but didn’t lift a finger to help?

@@solarmacharius4577 thank you!
Sabaton are history nerds, all of their songs are about some historical event, mostly battles of some kind.
Yep exept their second album Metalizer and first demos but mostly yes.
History nerd = giga Chad

Sabaton does a lot of different historical events. The last stand and winged Hussar are good songs that aren't ww2
Also the entire Great War album
Also Last Stand with some late medieval action its a straight banger
my personal favorite ww2 ones need to be no bullets fly wolfpack and the last battle
Hussars also come from Poland. For some of reasons they singing about poles.
@@lechu4748 For "some feason"?
Have you heard their songs?
40:1
This one
And probably two other.
Poland is like the gold mine for history-related music.
Fun Fact: The German commander in this video was played by Peter Stormare, a Hollywood actor from Sweden and bigtime Sabaton fan.
I'm not surprised, but I had no idea Peter is a fan of theirs.Thats really neato. 😊
For the question if they only sing about WW2 the answer is no.
I'd recommend:
Seven pillars of wisdom. The official music video.
The last stand. The official music video.
fun fact at 3:16 the man in white shirt is actually a real Polish army general
Great reactions and welcome to the world of Sabaton.
You really have to react to:
Bismarck (Official Music Video)
No Bullets Fly (Animated story video)
Night Witches (Animated story video. Important to choose the long version. 7:22)
En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great tour - Gothenburg. Really important to have closed captions on)
Always watch until the end and always have closed captions on if possible.
Ahh Bismarck! Masterpiece! It makes me cry like a fuckin child, whenever I see it

Verdun is a good song, along with closed caption on as it has a few jokes sprinkled in :)
They did Verdun before (different people but same channel) ua-cam.com/video/99XH9Dhn-ZA/v-deo.html
It would be amazing to see a reaction to both the music video and the sabaton history episode in the same reaction video.
yess sabaton history
“Well… it was a love story” yup, and still better than Twilight
#ShotsFired
if you going live with this one from woodstock festival in poland from 2012 you will see when they sing this infront of 550,000 polish people !

That's true story and I don't think you should care about costumes and special effects. Try understand the lyrics.
Sabaton Inamte 4859 - about Rotmistrz Witold Pilecki Bigest HERO of Poles in WW2 must hear
As an American, I respect the Polish people for their resistance. I believe we would, but I hope we would do the same.
We wouldn't. Not today.
Also some of the actors in The Music Vid are actually Famous Polish Actors, and they got a good Director too while making this

React on Sabaton - No bullets fly, and Nightwitches
But the animated story videos of those two*
No bullets fly will make any man tear up, the story is so powerful
@@cheeseninja1115 hell yeah, it gives damn goosebumps
So it is a Sabaton streak now? :)
"Price of mile" must do thing then. Preferably one from
Knight SGC Archive with Passchendaele montage over it
Some of the footage is from a Polish movie called "Kamienie na szaniec", inspired by a book with the same title. The movie is about Warsaw Uprising.
A song this chicago actor should watch is hell and back
1:28 Sabaton sings of all the heroes throughout history. They are not restricted to only World War 2.
They have songs about World War 1, and other wars before, in between and "after?".
A love story between a nation and her people.
I guess their songs "Devil Dogs", "Screaming Eagles", "82nd all the way", "Primo Victoria", "To hell and back", "The lost battalion" and "Into the Fire" will please the U.S. subscribers! :-)
this is one song that would be great to watch the Sabaton History video for. Gives a lot of important and cool information.
When I watch this reaction...I still see no "allies coming" reaction..
I'm hoping y'all have her watch the Winged Hussars song.
You should have watched the live version of uprising that sabaton performed in Warsaw.
Great reaction! Can you react "The attack of the dead men" lyric video by sabaton
How you managed to watch that with no emotional reaction whatsoever is beyond me..
She's your typical hot chick. All beauty, no brains. Not surprising she didn't see the emotion behind this song. plus she wouldn't shut up.
Polska! 🇵🇱
I keep watching ..and keep stopping
Sabaton have just announced a new album that is just about ww1 (the war to end all wars) to expand their latest one the Great War
You gotta see this live in Poland
SABATON - Uprising (OFFICIAL LIVE)
sabaton - price of a mile PLS
I see you there Death Korp, nice choice.

So relevant right now.
They cover history bfrom sun tzu to modern times.
Most of the video was from a movie of the same name.
Fuuun, Neat... Not exactly comments I expect when seeing footage of Nazi's murdering civilians but hey.....
Well, I think that foreigners will never understand the war we (Poland) always had. A good eye-opening is the short video about all of that: The Unconquered | ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html
Most definitely should react to some of the videos from Sabaton History channel
I appreciate your strict technical take. I'd also be interested to hear your non-technical take on it.
damn, really hard to give advice on which to react, cus i love sooo many songs of them and in so many different ways , xd
You should watch some of their live stuff, its amazing!
If ther is a fight ther is Sabaton
Cool reaction! Please do more! :). Suggestions: Devil dogs. Counterstrike. Long live the king. Cliffs of Gallipoli. The great war. Attero dominatus.
No bullets fly, animated story! Watch the entire video!
you should do en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) but since it's in swedish, do it with CC... the story is VERY emotional.
In 1944, Warsaw was razed to the ground by the Germans
Sabaton - En livstid i krig (live in Gothenburg). Do it, it's totally worth it. Keep the captions on though, they sing in Swedish. :)
40:1 on Woodstock- must see!!!
You should check out uprising day videos from Warsaw
Activist: I, like, totally, like, scalp Nazis on, like, Twitter!
Warsaw: Adorable.
It's not a pyrotechnics :( these are authentic film photos from the uprising taken by insurgent filmmakers, woven into the music video, there are a lot of them in the video.
Ghost division is a pretty badass song. And the story behind it is interesting too.
Can you react to ghost division
React to sabaton ghost division. Only real footage and great song
Sseth has new shit baby. Time to get the gang reacting to it.
The scene where the Nazi pours alcohol and lights a match resembles the event of most of Poland being blown and burnt to the ground most of Poland is a reconstruction of the old buildings.
Make it sure .. if you do not know young lady .. Footage for this song came from Polish move .. Warsaw 44
It's not from Warsaw44, it's the official Sabaton short music video they made with actors for this song.
Every good Lovestory ends with Death. Muhahahaha
My favories are The Last Stand and Smoking Snakes (i am a brazilian and catholic after all).

You guys need to react to the Limbo of the lost review by Mandalore gaming, then watch his review of the mystery of the druids

Nice song
I'm curious is anyone else noticing audio synching issues with the reviewing person?
Need to listen to ‘Attack of the Dead Men’ and ‘Carolous Rex(English version)’
