hello.
you need to see the christmas truce
can you react to the opening jojo bizzare adventure from part 1 to 7
U got a new twitch friend. Think it could be time for you to check out the songs that brought Sabaton to stardom. Beign with Lion of The North, Carulos Rex and then En livstid i krig (A life time of war) live in Gothenburg, with captions and prepare to get emotional 🤗🍷❣️
if you want to experience Sabaton playing live, I can only recommend "en livstid i krig" live from Göteborg Sweden, it is in Swedish but there are subtitles (not perfect but they get the message across)
other live performances worth a look, 40:1 or Upprising from poland
After Stigler and Charlie met they had a reunion, the surviving crew put together a video of all the children and grand children of the crew members. Basically all the people that wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Stigler's actions that day. Damn onion cutting ninjas.
😂 I agree! Onion cutting ninjas need to take a day off!!
Where can I watch this video? I would love to see it.
The thing I love about Sabaton is that they base all their music on real events in military history. Their history channel is amazing as well where they will break down events.
I'll have to check out their history channel 💯
Sabaton just announced that they are collaborating with Yarn Hub and creating a Sabaton movie in 2023 😊
Thank you for your very kind reaction
After every reaction i always check the comments to see if you've been here. I love that you see all these reactions.
Hello Jovita. I already know it's the real you, as your account is known to everyone here on UA-cam already. I already wished all luck and safety to you and your family somewhere else, so today, I want to tell you about something that might interest you.
I'm german, and the story of your father has never been forgotten here. He's a hero of the nation. I don't know if you've heard about this, but here, every single child learns about the horros of WW2 early on, and we learn about this stuff during multiple sessions in history classes, divided over multiple school years. We don't want this to happen again, so of course, we're schooled to live with respect for others and to always remember what this kind of bad behavior can ultimately lead to.
However, as all of this is taught to kids of varying age, we'd have a very grim childhood if we wouldn't learn about humanity, heroes and hope as well. This story is one of the most important ones we get told, there are even tests to be written about the heroism of your father and his friend, mr. Brown. This story is one of the most impactful things kids learn about here when talking about war. It's right next to the christmas truce in WW1. It's a lesson about peace and hope, which we can cling to even in the darkest of times, and thus, you can be assured that this story will live on in the heart and mind of germans for a long, long time to come. There's even a little thing, called "pulling a stigler" if you translate it here, which basically means helping someone who needs it the most, even tho you don't even know the person.
Early merry christmas to you and your family.
Anime: puts an epic song for the opening of a story.
Sabaton: puts an epic story for the opening of a song
Stigler was literally 1 kill away from getting Lufftwaffe "Knights Cross" medal so shooting down this barely flying B-17 was a free medal, but still he didn't do it.
I love that it starts not only like a history channel thing but also like a "Welcome to Aviation Incident Review and today we are looking at XXXXXX" kinda channels with the animation and everything.
If I remember correctly, the reason Sabaton started singing about history was because they watched the movie "saving privet Ryan".
During a reunion of the Bomber group, Stigler was present. He recalled feeling like he shouldn't be there because he couldn't relate to anyone there being that he fought for the other side. Upon expressing this to Charlie, he was "Shot Down" so to speak when Charlie told him that the majority of the people in the room were the offspring and families of all the people he saved that day. Truly a heartwarming story from such a horrible time in History. The past was the worst.
"There will be generations because of you."
The bit at the end of the video is the VERY BEST PART of the whole story.
Franz Stigler's commander had told them ,that if they ever shot at someone in a parachute, he would kill them himself. Franz felt that the B-17 being so badly damaged and unable to fight back, would have been akin to shooting a parachute.
Yarnhub does a great job with the animation. Another of their animated story videos is for the song 'Night Witches'. And of course you have to watch the music video for Christmas Truce.
Not all their songs are WW I or WW II, En Livstid I Krig (A Lifetime of War) is about the 30 Years War in the 17th century. The live version is great.
Yep, thoroughly recommend the Night Witches animation, but make sure it's the animated _story_ video as there's another one for just the song! It's so confusing!
Yarn hub and Sabaton have been working on an animated movie for the album The Great War and it’s coming sometime in 2023.
@@benpurcell4935 That sounds amazing!
@@elvwood Yeah and I can’t wait. Yarn hub has a community post about it.
I have seen this video over 50 times and every time the onion ninja's are in the room.
This and Christmas Truce are the most powerfull stories I have ever heard.
This is one of my favorite historic stories, and I always get chills when I listen to this song/music video. Franz was such a great man. If I recall correctly, his commander had told him to never down a parachute. To Franz, the damaged B-17 and the crew inside was equivalent to a solider descending with a parachute, hence he refused to fire them down.
That's amazing! The story really is heartwarming
I'm biased towards Smoking Snakes, since I'm Brazillian and this song tells the story of 3 soldiers of the Força Expedicionária Brasileira who stood and fought against a whole german battalion in Montese. The 3 of them stood and fought until the end, and were buried by the nazis, placing them in tombs with three crosses that had the phrase “Three Brazilian Heroes” written in German.
As a British Sabaton fan and I have been for years, all Sabaton songs are true stories from factual events in history. Weather it's from Viking times to the Falklands war or true stories about individual people who done acts of heroism to individuals whose acts of heroism have been forgotten but Sabaton has found out about and brought to life there stories. Sabaton are the greatest band on the planet who are not only incredible musicians, writers, singers and performers but are the greatest history teachers on the planet. As a supporter of our Armed Forces in the UK and it's veterans, also having a passion for military history since a young age and who had relatives who served in our countries Armed Forces, Sabaton are to me a big part of my life who bring history back to life. Especially military history, LEST WE FORGET. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴
Sabaton tell true stories.
I do remind thee- You NEED to listen to Tommy Johansson, the guitarist from Sabaton. His solowork is outstanding and remember if you listen to Floor solowork as well, he might have arranged it.
For instance, Tommy recently did Phantom of the Opera, singing BOTH parts.
Lest We Forget is Sabaton’s mantra. Sabaton are not political but tells the story & history of the heroics, sacrifices , trials & heartache of war! I would suggest 40-1 live Woodstock Poland next. Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘
If you want more songs that will warm your heart… well the album Heroes by Sabaton is full of em.
But personally a few good songs of similar heroic acts like this with a twist coming in WW2 are:
The Last Battle - A SS Officer and his contingent, a German Officer and a bunch of guys loyal to him, a young gun ho American Tank Commander and French Politicians held prisoner in a German Castle, all working together to fight off a bunch of SS soldiers.
Yes it sounds absolutely bonkers and somewhat is… but sometimes history is that.
Hearts of Iron - Commander of the 12th German Army at the end of the war refuses Hitlers order to relive Berlin and instead sells the lives of his men to help trapped members of the 9th Army and German Civilians of Berlin and surrounding area escape from the advancing Red Army and instead into American/Western captivity. A strange tale where in many ways the German army can be saw as hero’s in saving its people from the fate of “retribution” being wrought by the Soviets.
En Livstid I Krig (2018 live concert (Swedish for A Lifetime of War - make sure to have captions/subtitles on when listening)) - a song about the life of a Swedish soldier serving in one of humanity’s most brutal wars. The 30 years war.
Recommendations outside this:
Everything in the Carlous Rex Album. Best opinion is to listen to both the Swedish and English version so you can hear both versions of the song. Plus while each song shares the same name and theme and tune… the lyrics do switch up between the two languages with the English being a broader overview and the Swedish a more personal view.
Great War - about WW1
Red Baron - about the Red Baron
Solider of Three Armies - about one of humanity’s most badass men.
Stormtroopers - about the German WW1 unit that would go onto revolutionise lightning warfare (or as the Germans called it Blitzkrieg) and inspire a certain group of Sci-fi soldiers in a Galaxy Far Far Away.
40:1 - a song about the Polish resistance at the beginning of WW2 and a song that re inspired a nations pride in itself massively (to the point of Sabaton didn’t play this in Poland they probably wouldn’t leave alive)
Wing Hussars - probably one of the biggest meme songs for Sabaton (not as it’s a bad song you’ll notice why I call it that when you listen) but it covers one of the great cavalry charges of history lead by the fearsome and elite Polish Winged Hussars - in many ways one of the most prestigious and elite cavalry units in all of Europe for centuries - and a cavalry charge that would likely be the inspirations for two of cinemas biggest cavalry charges in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Coat of Arms - a song of Greek heroics and Italian humiliations (set in WW2)
Lady of the Dark - one of history’s most forgotten hero’s and a very true representation of a classic Disney story (I.e. think similar to Mulan but it actually happened).
Hellfighters - a black unit of American volunteers who when the US refused then to fight alongside their troops were adopted by the French and would earn themselves one of the most prestigious places in military history.
A Ghost in the Trenches - when you send a Native American into the Trenches of WW1 you get one of the worlds great snipers and scouts.
Price of a Mile - the cost of war. Just remember that this entire song is about a battles that’s achievements were 6 miles of territory.
Rorke’s Drift - British Courage meets Zulu Courage.
Ghost Division - one of the great tank commanders leading one of histories great advances at speed.
Fields of Verdun - history’s longest battle and one of its most bloodiest too.
Smoking Snakes - Brazilian Heroics
Resist and Bite - Belgian Heroics
The Valley of Death - Bulgarian Heroics
Last Dying Breath - Serbian Heroics
Swedish Pegans - because it’ll annoy a certain lead singer.
Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment filled with so much explantation! I look forward to experiencing these songs and stories ❤️
@@GOTGames
All good mate, love watching people experiencing history and Sabaton does an excellent job with it too.
Oh and if I can make another suggestion, Sabaton has a second channel called Sabaton History.
It covers the actual history behind each of their songs and even a bit about the band and why the chose said song or even a bit of the history of the band and it’s musicians.
It would be awesome to see you react to these be it either in a separate video after listening to the song or in the same as a double packed punch of fun - getting to listen to the band and immediately it’s history.
Awesome summary Reece❣️
Sabaton is a rabbit hole 🕳 🐇
@@granlund4 indeed, over hundred songs deep, most with heavy hitting history behind them.
Unkillable soldier is also a really interesting one
A lot of sabaton songs have been turned into some kick ass Animated Music Videos.
just saw them last week and loved the show. first time to a metal concert and was pretty much right up front i had the biggest smile and was head banging and fist pumping all night. totally recommend going to see them i wanted more even after the concert.
Everyone gets emotional watching that one. I cried the first time and still almost tear up watching these reactions.
Greetings from 🇩🇪!
My grandfather told a similar heroic story. At the end of WW2 he (just 17) was stationed on the Western Front. Hardly any men were there, almost only boys like him or younger...
One of the paramedics in his group was a bit older, maybe 22!?
After a skirmish, he found a wounded Allied soldier. The paramedic treated the man, put on a uniform worn by his "enemies" and dragged the injured man across the front line until he met other soldiers. He dropped the guy off there, rested for a bit, and marched back...
My grandfather never mentioned names because it bothered him too much. I also don't know if this story can be proven in any way. Unfortunately I can't ask him anymore today. All I know is that this relatively short time in the war hurt him a lot.
Damn,every time brings me tears to my eyes. An outstanding story of true heroism that leaves no one unmoved.Brave man!🥇"Lost battalion" and " Attack of the dead man" ,they will touch your soul. Awesome powerful reaction!!❤🤟
Will make sure to check out those two as well Demi, this story really pulls your heart ❤️
Sabaton songs just hit different knowing that they're singing about actual people and actual events
Yarn Hub, the group that did the animation, has the full animated video without the song, that narrating the whole story. Might want to give it a watch.
Sabaton's guitarist Tommy Johansson are doing some covers that you might like 🤗
Then you must read the book by Adam Makos, "A Higher Call". It is the story behind the story leading up to Franz deciding to save Charlie and his crew.
Seeing them on Sunday with Epica. Can't wait!
Have an awesome time my friend! 🤘
Promise you a great show, have fun!
Fun fact: The damage and most of the story of "Ye Olde Pub" was replicated for the film Memphis Belle in 1990
Yes, it's a true story. Check out their history Channel, they go over this story and many more.
You should check out more of their animated ones, they are all true. I think you would really like Night Witches by the way. Many are also talked about on their other channel.... Sabaton History. Another video that is special to them is Christmas Truce, which has a similar type of storytelling but is a 'normal' MV.
Saw them in Phoenix a few weeks ago and they were amazing.
5:26 all of Sabatos songs are about real war stories in history.
As I've always said, in war there is no good and evil, because it's war itself that's evil, because it means tragedy, families that lose loved ones, homes destroyed, and hatred, fear, sadness born and renewed. So anyone who shows mercy and honor in war while it's not the most logical move, you can argue it's the right move to prove that even enemies can recognize that human life is worth protecting. Sabaton tells us stories as they are, and makes us feel pride in nations and people we aren't a part of. I honestly feel like Sabaton is a group with a heart of gold, nobody teaches history quite as good as Sabaton with how they handle their songs and things around it.
Get the book, A Higher Call, it is very worth your time, and there is a HUGE amount more to Franz Stigler’s story than they could ever get into in the song.
Great reaction...if you want to know more about that story, there is book called "A Higher Call", i can recommend that. Great book.
Sabaton is the best metal band that is currently active in my opinion. As a Belgian, my opinion is obviously biased. But I personally believe that Race To The Sea is the best of their songs. But these songs only get better the more you know about the history behind them, so let me tell you a short history of this song's story!
The Race To The Sea was an event in WW1, where both sides tried to outflank each other after the German advance failed. The theory was that the first side to reach the sea could outflank their opponent and would win the advantage in the war. Belgium threw this German plan into foil by flooding the River (The IJzer/Yser). The King of the Belgians was on that day, on the battlefield. Fighting alongside his soldiers. He was the only ruler to actively fight in the World War.
Btw: Every Sabaton song is based on a true story! This is though, with exception for the Songs of the Metalizer Album and the Fist of Flight album. Which you probably wont be recommended because it's not what Sabaton is known for. Sabaton is famous for singing exclusively about real history nowadays.
quite a few have recommended it, but ill say it again, "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos is a must read. provides a lot more detail and backround to this story. one of my favorites, one of my favorite stories from WW2 for that matter
Great reaction! I’ve seen this video so many times, and it still gets to me.
You should definitely look up photos of the B-17. You'd wonder how it kept flying. They don't call them flying fortresses for nothing-
In an interview, when Franz was lining up the shot, he saw the tail gunner bleeding profusely and couldn't do it.
Franz tried to get them to land in Germany and surrender, but Charlie refused. He then tried to get them to head towards neutral airspace, but Charlie refused again. So Franz escorted them to safety. He flew close enough to them so they wouldn't be hit by ground weapons. What a guy!
After the war, he moved to Canada. When this story was made public in the 80s, Franz was called a traitor by his fellow Germans and a nazi by his fellow Canadians. Upon visiting a WWII party hosted by Charlie, he felt out of place. However Charlie told him "All of these people are here and alive because of you." Because Franz spared them, those men went on to have families and be happy.
I'm really late, but I can't suggest the Sabaton History video of this song enough. The story is actually insane and actually made me tear up a bit while watching it
Franz Stigler once said that one of hes supperiors told hes squad "If I ever hear that one of you guys shoot a man in a parachute, I will shoot you myself". He said that he saw the bomber as a man in a parachute.
“If I ever see or hear of you shooting at a man in a parachute,” Roedel said, “I will shoot you down myself. You follow the rules of war for you - not for your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity.” Gustav Rödel. Gustav Rödel was Stigler's commanding officer when he was posted to North Africa. For Stigler, seeing the plane as hammered as it was, he felt that they were as helpless as a man on a parachute and just couldn't pull the trigger!
Sabaton are modern Bards
Singing about Heroes and their heartships
Sabaton never lie..........its all true! They are the best history lesson ever taught.
i want him to react to the last battle so bad
Ghost Division, Soldier of Heaven, Attack of the Deadmen, Winged Hussars, Steel Commanders, the list goes on
and believe it sabaton has many more stories. absolutely amazing band. the best swedish band in the world.
Damn, this was something special..
As far as I know *ALL* of Sabaton's songs are based on actual events, definitely all the tracks from Heroes. (which this song is from)
God dam it ,I’m not crying your crying
Franz tried to wave Charlie off to Sweden but Charlie knew that he had to make it back to England!
There is a book about it called A Higher Call
As a combat vet. One thing I learned. The hardest thing to keep alive in combat. Is your humanity.
When this story came out. Stigler would receive letters from Germany. Calling him a traitor and worse. Then would receive letters from his Canadian neighbors. Calling him a nazi thug and worse.
That is truly heart-breaking, that folk would go out of their way to send such messages to a man who displayed just what it is to have compassion and honour in the midst of conflict :(
If you really enjoyed this one, please check out and react to Sabaton's "Night Witches". Both the animated version and the live version are totally awesome !! But, watch the animated version first. Thanx so much for your heartfelt and honest reactions....I'm hooked !
AT LAAAAST I got to see you react to this one.
Just a reminder, They landed in the UK.
Much love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
❤️
Yes this is a true story. In 1993 Imet the B-17 pilot and heard this story from the horse's mouth so to speak
Sabaton are so good
- "Imma get fucking answers!"
Someone has been watching too much AOT
Stigler mentions that his commanding officer told him "if i see you shoot a paratrooper in the air I will kill you myself" and that when he saw the plane he had the same feeling of a helpless enemy and it would have been wrong.
also 90% of Sabaton Songs are about historical events.
Another great story behind a song is The Last Battle about The Germans and Americans coming together to fight the SS and defend Castle Itter
Yep true story, they even met
If you haven't heard christmas truce by sabaton yet then please react to it. It's great.
Found your Channel through sabaton, love your reactions! Hi from Canada, I got to see Sabaton on octobre 22nd! Will probably the oldest one there , but after 20 years of listening to to them I a can't wait!
This song is the most unique for the Sabaton creations.
Another great story. Some of my other favorites I recommend are "Hearts of Iron", "Attack of the Dead Men", and "Winged Hussars"
I fukcing cry every time I listen to this bloody song!!!!!!!!!
This story is so awesome, the biggest story ever!!! The only one who was able to do this... Sabaton❤❤❤ Love it love it❤❤❤
One detail that is mildly touched on, but not explained, is about Stigler's Knights Cross.
Pilots in the Luftwaffe had a victory tally system, where taking down a fighter was worth one tally, and taking down a bomber was worth three.
When Stigler came across Ye Olde Pub, he was at 27 tallies, yet he chose to save the bomber instead of shooting it down, which would have earned him his Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
This detail makes this story so much more heartwarming, and shows that not all Germans were heartless, just doing orders as they were told, otherwise they would be killed.
SABATON Attack of the deadman. They have a LOT of powerful stories.
It´s a true history
i cry everytime i was this video and watch reactions to this video.. amazing
Stigler (the pilot who spared the bomber and her crew) had a commanding officer in Africa called Gustav Rodel, a phenomenal Luftwaffe pilot and ace himself, who is perhaps more famous for his quote:
"You are fighter pilots first, last, always. If I ever hear of any of you shooting at someone in a parachute, I'll shoot you myself."
Stigler remembered this during this flight and decided that shooting the aircraft was tantamount to shooting pilots under a parachute. They were both products of the early war mentality between the RAF and Luftwaffe of a chivalric sense of honour and code, recognising that it behoved both sides to take a practicable approach to this. This had stemmed largely from the First World War.
Adolf Galland was another of this idea, who was asked by Goring what his thoughts were on shooting enemy pilots under canopy and Galland replied thus:
"I should regard it as murder [Herr Reichsmarschall]. I would do everything in my power to disobey such an order."
Allegedly, Goring replied "Just as I expected from you."
Unfortunately, such sentiments between the sides waxed and waned and such attacks on pilots did happen.
Lady of the dark is pretty epic
I hope he hadn't got around to reacting yet, yarn hub just released their video of it. And, considering that he is trying to get his girl interested in Sabaton that is an extraordinarily good song to start with.
I would recommend checking out Bismark by sabaton aswell
Panzerkampf is also great
If you are interested, there is a book about this story called "A Higher Call" that I highly recommend reading.
2:58-3:44 The way your smile just faded... That is a reaction! 😄
But must remember - if the German fighter was not flying so close to the allied bomber, antiair would have got them. That is why he risked it two times that day...
"Night Witches" next?
And german AA men could easily tell it is one of their one, possibly flying next to B-17 and force it to land.
But if they could see that he was assisting them out and recognice the plane, then he could have been shot by his own people that´s my opinion of risking his life two times that day.
Read the book "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos! It's the true story about this song...Amazing Read!
This was the very first combat flight Charlie Brown's crew flew. If Franz had shot them down he would have had enough kills to be awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, Germany's highest honor ( Thus the lyrics, "Said goodbye to the cross he deserved" ). Those couple of facts just add so much more drama to the song.
"The only band that sounds like them is Iron Maiden.". Fun fact: Iron Maiden is one of their greatest musical inspirations, as shown in their "Trilogy of Origins" of sorts. The musics names are "Metal Machine", "Metal Crüe" and "Metal Ripper". You should check them out.
Ahh good,.. i see you found the Sabaton/Yarn Hub story videos.
The yarn Hub story Videos are not the same as the normal music videos. They tell the story behind the song. And yes, sabaton does A LOT of songs relating to history.
Attack of the Dead Men - True Story
Lady of the Dark - True Story
Bismarck - True
Primo Victoria - no specific story but still True. The D Day invasion of Normandy.
The Last Stand - True
Christmas Truce - True
If you haven't seen it yet,.. you HAVE GOT to do a reaction to the Video for Night Witches from Yarn Hub.
And still Franz must have much to hate bombers from allied side as: During last week of July 1943, bombs killed an estimated 37k civilians and wounded 180k in Hamburg, and almost destroyed most of the city. Still after seeing what allied bombers can do he chose to save this patricular one.
"he risked his life two-times that day" is because the german antlantik-wall was layerd into two, on the coast and inland, about 2-5 km apart, massive anti-air nests pretty much everywhere on the course that b17 took, but the only reason they didn't open fire was because there was a BF-109 flying next to it, the spotters on the ground were probably thinking about some scenario where you draw your prey out and and out and out and then stick the knife in, but not that time.
great story.
Actually the other reason they didn't is because it was fairly common for them to capture a seriously damaged allied bomber like this and then a BF 109 or similar would escort the plane as it was being transferred to disassembly. So when they saw a very obviously badly damaged allied bomber and then a fighter escort they presumed it was one of those. The reason it would still be very dangerous for him is that it wouldn't be hard for the German special police to verify that no bomber had been captured that day when it was known that he had gone up to intercept one. In these later stages of the war, when the conflict was as desperate as it was, letting an enemy bomber survive would have been extremely negatively viewed, at least by those police, and they were not known for being gentle to people that they believe were traitors
You should hear the song Inkya Impulse, ending song of Asobi Asobase, a comedy anime about 3 girls just trying to have some fun in their "club?" Well something like that
Such a fantastic reaction! I love your enthusiasm and authenticity. "No Bullets Fly" is on my driving mix.
Listen to Sabaton - inmate 4859
And story behind that guy
Quick spoiler: guy volunteered to death camp
Franz Stigler would have won a valuable medal for killing Charlie and the crew. He was one bomber kill away from earning the Knight's Cross, one of the highest German military awards at the time. He instead chose mercy in a war with so little of it. His action let dozens of people come into this world who otherwise would have never been.
I would recommend checking sabaton wehrmacht and the art of war they are great songs and my favorite
Couple bits of info that I haven’t seen yet. When he says something about “the cross he deserved”, it was because if Stigler shot down the Pub, he would’ve gained the Iron Cross. The Cross is a symbol saying that the German pilot shot down a certain amount of enemy planes. One thing to note about the B-17 is that there’s a good reason they’re called the “Flying Fortress”. Many B-17 planes suffered immense damage that would drop other planes. Looking at photos of ones that flew and got so damaged is insane
Knight’s Cross, not Iron Cross
Sabaton has stated before that there are so many wild and amazing stories in history (especially wartime) that they would rather tell those over making up their own. It's why all their stories are so WIWI & WWII songs, since it's so fresh in history compared to say, the Winged Hassars or the Great Crusades
I would love to see your reaction to Arcane OSTs, the intro or general music from it. The amount of effort that went into the music is insane!
Edit: Arcane is a show you can watch on Netflix btw which is also made from the same developers who are behind Leaque of Legends or the music Videos like K/DA etc. and it plays in the world of Leaque. Really recommend it to watch it after you heard the music. ITS SO GOOD NO CAP.
Don't worry it's coming 👀
Time for sabaton christmas truce
Sabaton just a few days ago released a new song called Father and I think you should have a listen to that.
In the real event the fall out of the sky wasn´t at a lame forest. but the YE OLD PUB acctually scrabbled a few schindels of a roof in the Lower Saxony Town of Oldenburg north west from Bremen, if he haddend got his concious back the Plane just had crashed in the house and detonated on impact.🤕
