@@OmnicronDelta check out the Channel Sabaton History. Sabaton has partnered with a historian to do actual history lesson on the events/people that are covered in various Sabaton songs.
Ever see that family guy clip where joe peter Cleveland and quagmire are on running a small fishing boat, and quagmire passes out from drinking too much, and then Peter says, “let’s draw on his face,” and joe just starts giggling like a little schoolgirl? That’s how I imagine we giggle.
@@jackassajax4418 I mean, he isn't supposed to know every single moment in history, the story of the Bismarck is a very specific moment in WW2. He already knew it existed and that it got chased, that's pretty much what you need to know about it imo
And to the refrain: "He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas" is connected to Queen Victoria and a patriotic song of 1740 which says "Rule britannia. Britannia rule the waves" which the bismarck was built to end.
@@panzer2781 i think it's okay, as a teacher you dont have to know everything and the bismarck is commonly not a big deal in history lessons, but i hope he takes this as a chance to inform himself a bit more about this aspect of ww2 and the history of this ship
Teacher: "So, today we're talking about the largest battleship ever made by the germans." Most kids: "Okay, interesting!" Some kids: "Man, that's boring!" The quiet kid in the back (me): "BISMARCK IN MOTION! KING OF THE OCEAN, HE WAS MADE TO RULE THE WAVES ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS!"
As for the saving him part. There are some unspoken laws in warfare. In this case, if a battleship is sinking, you are not allowed to harm or kill the survivors whilst they are in the water. Same with a dog fight. If a jet is shot down and the pilot is alive and parachuting down, enemy pilots are not allowed to kill him on the ground or whilst going down. It's not an official law but more in the sense of dignity in war. A fair fight, like the song "No bullets fly". There is no honor is shooting down a plane with no defenses.
@@dankllamas6984 the only known case of such a pilot that ignored this is an US pilot, so git gud. In fact, a lot of whermacht tankers where mistreated and tortured because ss panzer units used the same ground forces symbols.
It's not even about the shot tho,everyone back then was litterally shitting themselves when rumors about the ship being built hit Britain, the ship was designed to the the battleship of battleships.
@lazar tazar Yes, there were more ships but they didn't take part on the final fight due low fuel and had to go back to England, even an Ark Royal's Swordfish attack managed to inflict minimal damage to the Bismarck.
@@cherami8445 the "minimal" damage wasnt that minimal, considering how critical it was, jamming the rudder of bismarck, thus making it not ablke to reach France before Royal Navy caught up with it.
@@KoteDarasuum You are right, HMS Victorious Swordfish attack was the one that inflicted almost no damage, HMS Ark Royal's swordfish attack was actually Bismarck's fate.
@@walterclough8692 if i am correct (only listened to it once) the song "sink the bismarck" is more into the patriotic side of the allies than this song... so you cant realy compare..
Teacher: “today we are learning about the Bismarck.” Me: 😱 Teacher: “who here knows about the Battleship?” Most classmates: (remains Silent) The few who do: “start the music!”
This is called " History Teacher Reacts" and he knows nothing about the battle of the Atlantic, the ship, the topic or the band. Is this the way he prepares his lessons? Makes me realize a lot about the U.S. school system.
Medley3000 Most of history education in the United States from elementary to high school is based on U.S history. The Bismarck had little U.S involvement in of itself, so it’s pretty understandable.
it might be inspired by history but at least in this song you are not actually learning anything historical except there was once a big battleship that was feared and eventually sunk :D
@@kaldunaaa both are completely different historical moments, so I stay with my opinion that the song "Bismarck" does not really give much history content.
The story of the Bismarck is one of the most fascinating naval story's of ww2 in my opinion. The brittish feared the ship because of its armor, firepower and speed. Seriously treathening naval supremacy for the brittish. We know what kind of damage the gneisenau caused in the southern Atlantic. Imagine if this beast was released on merchant shipping and escort missions. Might even shifted the balance of war between the Germans and the brittish and forced the brittish on there knees. As someone who wants to study history, this kind of things fascinate me. Ps, thans for taking time reading this commend. I wish y'all a wonderful day. Sorry for some Grammer mistakes. English is my third language.
There is no feasible way that the Bismarck could have ever threatened the RN in any real capacity. They overestimated the ship's capability just because it detonated the Hood in one extremely lucky shot, and the idea of, "well, if it destroyed the Hood so easily, imagine what it could do to our merchant shipping" crept in and caused Admiral Tovey to mobilise the entire navy to stop it, when even just the King George V and Nelson with a small escort would have been more than enough. Bismarck was a beautiful ship, but had numerous design flaws, such as an outdated armour scheme and underpowered main batteries, to name a few. She actually damaged her own radar after firing a warning shot at HMS Suffolk for shadowing her, which is why Prinz Eugen was in the lead when Hood and PoW finally caught up with them. Her armour scheme proved detrimental when a shell from PoW went right through the bow and ruptured a fuel tank, and that torpedo that hit her stern during the Swordfish attack wouldn't have crippled her if the designers had taken that possibility into account; it would have been possible for her to maintain course despite the hit if she had been designed right, but alas.
@@aristosachaion_ bismarck was terror and beast . im american know lot of history. They sent bi planes sink Bismarck few torpedo hit her but most of pilots missed there target hit Bismarck. What really sunk bismarck was her stiring was distroyed during torpedo attack from the planes and cruisers . and relentless bombbardment of shelling countless hours of it. Due relentless shelling what made bismark start sink was middle of the ship the magine chaber caught fire and exploded in lower compartments . causeing internal flooding . they tried skuttle back home but brittish really wanted sink Bismarck. Not mention her sister ship tirpitz which was monster of ship as well
She was a product of British propaganda. Bismarck served no real threat. Had she survived, Britain would have parked a fleet to remove her from the board. Tirpitz, who underwent this fate, served more of an issue, as the British fleet was stretched thin. Tirpitz could have caused some serious issues had the Kriegsmarine been able to fuel the Lonely Queen of the North. Tirpitz parking herself in an Artic convoy would have been a problem for the Soviet front.
Without knowing it, there would be three countries they could be from. I mean come on, it's obviously a metal band. Germany, Sweden and Finland. Since their pronounciation of "Kriegsmarine" wasn't good (sorry), Germany was out. So 50/50 Sweden or Finland. Nice that i was right. Those three bring us the best bands.
@@theverminator8048 Bro, he didn't deny them from being swedish. Legit he said 'without knowing it' there could be three POSSIBILITIES. But he automatically ruled out Germany from a pronunciation error
"kinda of like a metal band" As a history teacher, I'd think you'd do a little bit of research on the band and what they do lol Don't get me wrong, I love your videos just thought it was a little humorous. And yes. Bismarck displaced 49,500 tons fully loaded and was crewed by 2,065 men. Only around 400 managed to live to abandon ship and out of them, only 114 would live, mostly due to the British abandoning the rescue effort due to a possible U-Boat sighting. One of the men picked up by the Brits died of his wounds and 5 of the 114 were picked by a U-Boat and a German trawler.
Well I wouldn't blame the British for abandoning the rescue operation given the Germans did the same thing off the coast of Africa regarding a Passenger liner where 3 Uboats were engaged in rescue operations but had to break off after the Americans decided to attack the Uboats and in turn the survivors of the Liner the lead Boat had sunk, the ships survivors were made up of British Soldiers, Italian POW's being transported and a mix of civilians including Women and Children. During the rescue operation Vichy French ships were on route to assist as were it is claimed some Nearby British Warships but ultimately due to the actions of the US Army Airforce operating from the Ascension Islands, then and now British Territory and a B24 Liberator on Patrol, the officer in charge of US Forces ordered the aircraft to attack, forcing the Germans hand... As the Germans had done to the British after the sinking of Bismark... Sadly in War there are challenges that I feel today it would be difficult to judge as we for the most part have no experience of such events on such a scale. Most who had some experience in war of that scale.. Are sadly already passed or just about too, as it currently stands I believe and I could be wrong. All original members of Easy Company as seen in Band of Brothers have sadly passed on while some of the men who joined the company after the start of combat operations as Replacements are surviving.
And the old man in the video, along with the compass, were actually survivors of the Bismarck, I've heard the man died after the filming tho, but the story in the video is the story of the guy in it
@@franciscoguinledebarros4429 That's a retarded bullshit story spread by retards on every fucking RU-vid video about this song. Every person with more than two brain cells can tell that the man in the video is far too young to have been an active participant in World War 2. He is an actor. It seems that he is supposed to depict the last survivor, though, I guess, who got the compass from his captain before leaving the ship or something.
History teacher uses and promises to use Sabaton as a tool to teach history. Mr. Terry, you did something the Sabaton fans have wanted for ages. 1m subs is not far in the future
@@deutschertodesritter6772 Something I want to do as well, I will be studying in University to be a history and English teacher in Germany and really like Joakim´s approach to teaching history, as said in an Interview during Rock am Ring this year. It´s about telling a captivating story first, to sort of luring into the thematic, and then zoom out and give context, thus teaching about say the Second World War. I believe this would make classes much more interesting than just telling date after date with no real way to hook people into a fascination for history.
@@neilerator I agree entirely! In school here in America, we were told like 3 sentences on say, the Battle of Verdun in World War 1. Thats horseshit! I wanted to know the why, the where, the how, the numbers, tactics, leaders and aftereffects, not just "it happened on this date, at this place, and was a pretty bad battle". Arschlochs! When I teach the Battle of Verdun, I will use Fields of Verdun by Sabaton, and I will explain, to quote Epic History, in terms of "whole infantry battalions are destroyed, almost as fast as they can be fed into the line."
Correction: Wehrmacht was the term for the German Armed forces in general (Army, Navy and Air Force). The correct terminology for the German land forces of WW2 era is Heer.
Commie_Killer 76 Why? The Fairey Swordfish had its first flight in 1934. It was produced between 1936 and 1944, thus it‘s a WW2 plane. One might think that it’s from WW1, but that’s not the case. Or are you mad because he didn’t recognize it?
8:45 that is something that actually occurred, after the Bismarck sank the British ship *HMS dortetshire* and other British warships rescued 111 German sailors, (one British sailor even jumping into the water in an attempt to save a German who lost his arms!) before being forced to move out due to a sighting of a German U-boat. The British even offered the Germans blankets and to eat tea and crumpets with them (if I’m right)
@@thesolidsalad7338 It did, BUT they were stupid enough to send it right into the Atlantic, with no supplies they could get and that alone. Also the crew on there was a bunch of scared teenagers mostly, that just finished their training. The Bismarck itself, with a good crew and a good plan (and not being basically alone) could have survived the war with many ships sunk to her cannons. That she sunk was all one big human mistake consisting out of one wrong decision after another.
I stopped watching after he said "I don't know really much about Bismarck or the specifics". Okay, so WTF is the point of this being a "History Teacher Reacts" then? Could just be any old person reacting. His whole point of difference is to bring knowledge of the history to his review and it was clear from the point where he said "is this gonna be the Bismarck?" that he hadn't even done a quick google. Again, what is the point of this video?
@@dynamo1796 The band are just a bunch of epic badasses who are interested in History and like to make sure that people become educated. Pretty simple concept. The entire point of Sabaton's music videos is that History can be boring but this band made it interesting to learn about. Their music would get people interested so they will go look things up and study for themselves. Some points of Mister Terry reacting to this video is that first, NOBODY knows EVERYTHING about History, not even a History Teacher and second, this gets an even larger audience interested in studying History. People who Mister Terry knows may not know about Sabaton, but they will when he starts showing this stuff off.
The band is Swedish, and yes that is their thing, they do history inspired songs, i personally love how they fuse together historical context and good music, like, the songs have enough historical context to make you interested in the topic they are singing about and research it yourself, but at the same time not too much raw historical data, it is a song after all not a timeline. That combination is working perfectly imo, from their songs i've learned about many historical events and figures i didn't know about before. Oh, as for the video, it is so amazing because this clip was made in cooperation with Wargaming, a game company making a game called World of Warships, that is why the ship models look so beautiful.
They do have the odd non-history original song and do covers of other metal songs, but it is 90% history songs. Some find them cringey, disrespectful, or whitewashes of the songs protaganists(a few songs told from WW2 Germany's pov are especially controversial), I can see why people think that way but I view them as a tribute to history as whole. They tend to choose events of heroism, valour, or importance to history with little regard for the greater context(although Sweden is more heavily focused for obvious reasons). They aren't a good teaching tool due to bias and oversimplification but certainly make you aware of tales you otherwise may have missed.
Only lately they have been slacking the newest songs they have come out with. Normally they have unique lyrics, but the 3 newest songs they come out with always has the lyric "their legend will live on" in some form, true, it will, but the line is becoming unoriginal.
Glad to see you liked the video. Sabaton is a Swedish metal band. Around 2008 they were still kinda small, I recall that, but they kept on making amazing music and they grew big. They are pretty big. And this is what they do. They make songs about history of warfare. They also have a history vlog on their RU-vid channel or I don't know, something like that. Their most famous songs are proly about WW2, but they also make songs about heroes from different nations - the Finns and Czechoslovaks stick to me as they are kinda "my heroes", but there are songs about the US marines, the couple of men holding Ardenes, the samurai, etc..... it all seems to me like a huuuge memorial to all men and women that died fighting, whoever they were fighting. Also, speaking of women, Night Witches is a blast! About the russian female bomber regiment. Love it. Plus their songs as metal songs make us fans feel the glory and strength of the war machinery. Like the Bismarck!
A lucky torpedo hit at night avoiding aa defenses meant to shoot down faster aircraft... lucky as hell. And even after more than 400 hits he was still floating
A few cool little tidbits: The Bismarck is referred to with male pronouns in the song exactly as he was in real life, because his captain insisted such a powerful warship could not be referred to as a lady. The orientation of her guns in the video is true to how they were when Bismarck was sunk in real life. All the battle damage she sustained was historically accurate as well. The Swordfish biplanes that damaged her are also a fun fact: being outdated WW1 era planes also meant the advanced targeting systems of the Bismarck's anti aircraft guns were unable to track the slower planes since they were designed to shoot down faster planes. Similarly, the canvas fuselage meant any rounds that hit the planes would overpenetrate and do minimal damage to the aircraft. The radio at the start also reports on how Bismarck sunk the HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, and the subsequent British response to dedicate their fleets in the Atlantic to sinking the Bismarck
@Knasterreal1 it is unclear how the Bismarck really sank. Some say the crew detonated a bomb. Others think it was indeed the torpedo. We will never now for sure.
Also important note, while Swordfish may be considered WW1 *_era_* planes, they were not actually made in WW1. If I remember correctly, they were made in 1934.
@Knasterreal1 the torpedoes hit the Bismarck's rudder. He couldn't turn worth a damn without the rudder and it was nearly impossible to do with just the propellers
@Knasterreal1 In the final fight RN and Polish ships still launched torpedoes to Bismarck. And even if the Bismarck doesn't sunk by those torps it doesn't mean those torps not hit the ship, but caused no or minimal damage. Even the Swordfish planes hit Bismarck more than one time, BUT only the one which hit the Rudder caused anything. And even that planes pilot thinked it was uneffective until he returned to Ark Royal and got the info. (We can see his face on the video as he angry after the uneffective hit).
The pursuit of the Bismarck is considered one of the most thrilling and exciting naval operations of all times, and this video - for a music video - actually goes a surprisingly good job of telling it's story. If you listen to the radio at the start, you'll hear the commentator say how Bismarck sank the battlecruiser Hood. The first firefight you see is taken from that action, the Battle of the Denmark Straits, the Hood has been sunk, and Bismarck is exchanging gunfire with HMS Prince of Wales. The next action you see shows Swordfish biplane torpedo aircraft flying off HMS Ark Royal, attacking the Bismarck, with one torpedo slamming into her stern. This torpedo was the battleship's nemesis, jamming her steering gear and leaving her uncontrollable. The final firefight is when the British finally sank the German battleship, including the torpedoes being launched from the cruiser HMS Dorsetshire and hitting Bismarck, the last weapons to be fired against her. Officially this cruiser was credited with sinking the Bismarck, although this was only a technicality, as she was the last ship to hit her during the final battle. This video was all made for the song, and the ships are really accurate! Indeed, while I don't pretend to be an expert, I have studied this ship quite a lot, and I can't see anything misplaced on the ship in the video, compared to what she was like in real life. The only slight criticism I would make is in the final battle, you see a ship with four triple turrets fire at Bismarck. There were no cruisers like that in the final action. The nearest was HMS Sheffield, but she was part of Force H (along with the previously mentioned Ark Royal), and didn't take part. It would also have been nice if they had included the battleship HMS Rodney in the final battle. Her 16" guns proved to be totally devastating, with one of their shells taking out both Bismarck's main forward turrets. Still, I suspect the money involved in making this video was already nothing to sniff at, and adding Rodney would have added yet more expense.
Can't believe that even someone who has never seen or heard of Sabaton literally makes a joke about Joakim's kneecaps within the first 10 minutes of listening to them
It bugs the shit out of me that he missed the dedication in the last few seconds of the video, which would have explained the theme of the video for him, so here it is: "War knows no nation. This video is dedicated to those who fought to the bitter end in the Battle of the Atlantic." Also, in-case it wasn't obvious, the tugboat captain is the young sailor who survived the sinking of the Bismark, the coordinates written into the silver pocket watch he carries are the (apparent) rough latitude-longitude of the Bismark's wreck. 'Kriegsmarine' is the name of the German Navy during World War II, of which the Bismark was the flagship; most ships are referred to as female, Bismark was the only battleship in history to be specifically referred-to as male, hence, 'king of the ocean'. As a side note, it would be interesting to see him react to Sabaton's new album, "The Great War", which revolves entirely around World War I.
You would have been far more equipment to make a reaction video friend. This was the laziest reaction video I think I've ever seen. He didn't even research before making a video about the subject. I appreciate your dedication to the fine tunings of this song. 👍
While the Bismarck class Ships surely where the "biggest" the Nazis did build the Bismarck wasnt the "flagship". The "Panzerkreuzer Admiral Graf Spee" was the Flagshipt till the "Gneisenau" (Scharnhorst Class) was done in 1938. The Gneisenau was destroyed 1942 in a Bombing Raid. Normally every Ammunition had to be cleared of the Ship during Docking. But because the shi pwas deemed "slightly damaged by a Mine" and meant to only be 2 Weeks in the Dock they didnt. When a Bomb hit the Deck it broke through to the Ammunition Storage. And i think the Admiral Graf Spee Story is well known. Battled 3 British Ships, heavily damaged in Uruguay and only 72 Hours for Repairs. Because of misinformation the Captain decided to sink the ship rather than to fight. He thought the where more British Ships now waiting. Oh while we are at it. The Bismarck wasnt the biggest Ship build by the Germans during the War. The Tirpitz (also Bismarck Class ship) got so much modifications that it was 1200 tons heavier than the Bismarck and that is actually the "biggest" ship they build. Same could be said about the Myth of "Bismarck was the heaviest armed shp of the Kriegsmarine" ... nope the Tirpitz had the same till one "upgrade" where it got 4 Torpedo Launchers .... so it was heavier armed at that point.
Teacher: "Ok class, who know anything about the siege of Vienna?" *Dramatic metal music slowly fades in from the back of the class* Teacher: "w-w- what's happening?" "When the winged hussars arrived!" Teacher: "omg... what is happening right now?" *the classroom shakes violently, dust falls from crumbling mortar as bricks smash and widows crack. Smoke and the ominous thunder of distant artillery fills the air, mingling with the powerful music as a voice begins to sing* Joachim: "A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league, 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die, Will they hold the wall or will the city fall?" *The teacher, dumbstruck, adjusts his glasses, the class, enraptured at the terrible truth to which they now find themselves a part of, looking bewildered upon layers of desperate fortification, fighting positions and what looks to be a hopeless city full of starving and fearful people, some young, some old, all resisting, all fighting though outnumbered by a great army of Ottoman Turks, above whom the battle tattered flag of the great Kara Mustafa Pasha proudly flies, his Janissaries move in formation toward a breach in the city wall, but are repulsed by the cities defenders* Joachim: "Dedication, dedication, they're outnumbered 15 to one, and the battle's begun" *the class turns to the sound of distant hoof beats and the clatter of wooden wings, a substantial force of horsemen approach from atop the mountain, but will they be enough? Will they make it in time?* Joachim: "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside. Then the winged hussars arrived, coming down they turned the tide!" *but would they though? The class watches in mute horror as they see the ottoman soldiers carrying explosives into a mine shaft extending nearly a mile from their camp to the walls of the beleaguered city, they mean to destroy their walls! The Janissaries approach in formation, awaiting the blast, anticipating their queue to visit death upon the belligerent city of Vienna.* Joachim: "As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high, no escape and no salvation, trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls, plant the charges there and watch the city fear... Desperation, desperation, it's a desperate race against the mine, and a race against time!" *gallant polish Hussars, winged and glorious bear down upon the gathered army, picking up a breakneck pace as they set themselves into a charge down the side of the mountain, with graceful violence they rush past the startled class, their focus not on them, but rather, upon the gathered host of Kara Pasha... but with the charges set, cam they make it in time? The answer comes in the clash of steel and the crack of cannons as the winged hussars barrel into the surprised janissaries, breaking their ranks and forcing a retreat. All the while Joachim sings:* "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside! Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down they turned the tide!Cannonballs are coming down from the sky! Janissaries are you ready to die? We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye. You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate. On this field you're only facing our hate but back home the sultan's sealing your fate" *Joachim is then joined by a chorus of grateful survivors from the city below as they rejoice:* "We remember, in September, that's the night Vienna was freed, we made the enemy bleed!" *Then the Hussars march by chanting;* "Storm clouds, fire and steel, death from above make their enemy kneel..." *then, just as quickly as it had begun, the broken walks of the class reform themselves, leaving a tongue tied teacher, his bewildered class, and a surly looking metal singer standing before them. The teacher says nothing, the class is silent.* Joachim: "and that's what happened at the battle of Vienna," the class bell rings, "class dismissed," he drops his mic and walks out.
@Matthew Hoeniges no, this is just a thing I do. My suspicion on the likes is that either RU-vid is hiding my comment, or that most folk just take one look and say, "nope, tldr." Either way, it would appear that few, if any, care that I wrote this... which, when added to some stuff going on irl is the main reason I haven't done something similar for every song. Maybe I'll do it again, but likely not. If they made this into a music video, that'd be neat, but, meh... naw dude, I'm just another super wordy jack a$$ on the internet.
History teacher reacts. Also history teacher: “Ok, gotta wait for the guitar solo” “Ok, now ship is going down...” “Wow, is that how many men were on the ship?” “Long hair...yup def. a metal band” “Also, I don’t know much about this ship.” 🤣🤣🤣. No, really???
Almost all of their songs have a historical background to them. Checkout 1916, The Christmas Truce, and anything else by them. They have been around for about 20 years.
Hey, a sabaton fan here. Yes, they are pretty big, kind of the second row of big bands they are, just behind bands like Iron Maiden or Metallica. They have other great stuff, most of their songs are based on real stories. I recommend Shiroyama, the Last Battle or the Night Witches, if you need something with a little more detailed insight into history and stories. And to answer your last question, they are from Sweden. They have a pretty awesome album about their own history as well.
That's what the British would think. But what they would say would be more like: "Could you please step of my lawn, sir. I just manicured the bloody thing, you know."
The Battleship Bismarck, 251 x 36 meters tall, 50000 tonns of steel, 8x 38 cm Mainguns on 4 Towers, super heavy armor and 2300 men... The proud of Germany and her history is still in many hearts... And don't forget the History of "The lonely Princess of the North, The Tirpitz"!
Tirpitz is such a beautiful ship and yes i know, Tirpitz is the sister ship of the Bismarck. Bismarck class battleships are like sports cars nowadays, good looking and extremely cool
You missed the important bit at the end, the point of song or video and it was literally telling you a part of what happened, it was teaching you history - it's what Sabaton does.
This is the first "A History Teacher Reacts" vid I've watched, but he leaves me questioning. The Bismarck had some pretty defining structuring. Just like the Iowa Class and Yamato Class, Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were easy to identify. I'm guessing WWII isn't his strong point in teaching. Even my history teacher (31 years ago) didn't just teach from the book. He taught you the stories that made the history. Anne Frank, Tuskegee Airmen, Bismarck, Yamato.... he made sure you know why those events were so important and the legends behind them. The planes taking off- what carrier was that? Even 31 years later I can tell you- the Ark Royal. THAT is what a teacher can do for you. Ya gotta step outside the books and learn the history behind the history so you can pass it on.
Sabaton Panzerkampf ist very Historical to and Ballad of the Bull or Attack of the Dead Men are Historical too. Sabaton is know to be the most hard working Metal band in that music typ
@@jlswlf7408 America was one of the kindest armed forces during WW2. During the battle of Berlin, Wehrmacht divisions would run to the West in order to surrender to U.S. armed forces because of how recklessly the Red Army was slaughtering them. Men like Guderian and Manstein only lived for so long because the soviets never got their hands on them. It's not the americans, it's that the nature of war makes anyone that doesn't have at least some knowledge on it believe that this kind of humanitarian act was uncommon.
Captain No Shit Sherlock being more humanitarian than the red army isn’t that hard. The commander of the USS Wahoo Dudley Walker Morton did several war crimes and almost got a Medal of Honor for that. He even killed Indian POWs but no one seemed to care. Point is: There are always good guys on the bad side and bad guys on the good side. People just aren’t aware of neither of these. You seem to know something tho
The cool thing is; the locket/pendant/pocket watch the Bismarck captain gives the sailor is the same one the captain of the band's boat looks at at the end of the video. This signifies that they are the same person or related.
Watch Hunt for the Bismarck by Extra History, or Battle of the Denmark Strait by BazzBattles. Both videos explain the KMS Bismarck’s first and only deployment pretty well.
@@DataDownLynk hmm German and Swedish is pretty close and the litteral translation from Swedish "krigsmarin" would translate to war navy. Krig = war, marin = navy
Lion from the north carolus Rex yeah the swedes used to be a kick-ass big time and they still have some top shelf equipment now I am former military I meant the swedes up close and personal but there was a time when I was working for a convenience store I was actually hired in to be the chef in their kitchen because the assistant manager who is the niece of people I knew was being promoted to manager at a different site sore but she was also the only one who knew how to run the kitchen so they needed a replacement that id all irrelevant. during a mandatory staff meeting this was for the show Corporation and their waves of change advertising campaign it was intended on talking about going into the future the thing is one of the things they produced in their video for the commercials was the Swiss Dragon class air superiority fighter here's the thing at the time the dragon was almost 40 years old and was being decommissioned I however found this wildly funny
Jet planes weren't even in use until the end of the war and it was the ME 262. Slower flying Swordfish, Catalinas and Hellcat bombers really were hero's in taking out enemy ships and boats. 76 members of the Civil Air Patrol here in the US lost their lives patrolling the coast for UBoats and enemy ships and all they had were small commercial planes
yeah i expected him to give us his opinions on the historical part of the video and provide some more information that sabaton probably missed out or we dont know about yet but all this 'history teacher' said in the whole video was that he knew nothing about the bismarck
My favorite from Sabaton is Winged Hussars. Awesome song and video. They're Swedish. Their latest album is called "The Great War", the songs are all about World War I.
"He's gonna break his knee cap." 😂 I'm looking forward to seeing that live in Wacken 🤘🏻 And yes, Sabaton is a bigger deal than you knew. They are from Sweden, and they are known for historically correct songs, mostly about some kind of war. Their new album" The Great War" and is about the stories of World War One. It hit number 1 in the German album charts right away and they are one of the headliners in Wacken this year. Biggest metal festival. 😁
@@XPercussion sadly not. 240 € is very much. The line up is not very special for me. I saw Judas Priest two times in wacken and.. Well they're really old XD but we'll visit some other German festivals like rockharz and mera luna. Maybe in a few years we'll be in wacken again :)
