SABATON - "THE RED BARON" (Animated Story Video) - Veteran Reaction 

Kaputt is German for BROKEN..... I LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY!!!!

I believe historians agree that he probably got shot from an Australien machine gunner. The bullet that killed him came from the ground, went through the side of his plane, then went into his right hip, traveled through his heart and either out of his left shoulder or got stuck in his left shoulder. It's remarkable that, even though got a bullet through his heart, he still managed to relatively safely land his plane.

Richthofen was buried four times. First by the allies with full military honors by personal from No. 3 Squadron Australian Flying Corps at Betangles near Amiens. In early 1920s his remains was moved to a german war cemetery in Fricourt. In 1925 his youngest brother Bolko arranged to move his remains to Schweidnitz cemetery in Berlin, to rest next to his father and brother Lothar. But the german goverment requested that his remains rested at Invalidenfriedhof, where many german heroes and former leaders was buried. The family agreed and Richthofens casket got a state funeral. The nazi goverment used Richthofen in propaganda, and made him a hero symbol for the emerging Luftwaffe, and held a grandiose memorial at the grave. In 1975 he was finally laid to rest in a family plot at south cemetery in Wiesbaden. (Wikipedia)

per Merriem-Webster Kaput originated with a card game called piquet that has been popular in France for centuries. French players originally used the term capot to describe both big winners and big losers in piquet. To win all twelve tricks in a hand was called "faire capot" ("to make capot"), but to lose them all was known as "être capot" ("to be capot"). German speakers adopted capot, but respelled it kaputt, and used it only for losers. When English speakers borrowed the word from German, they started using kaput for things that were broken, useless, or destroyed.

Sabaton and Yarnhub puts out some pretty amazing animation videos. This was awsome 😀 Enjoyed your reaction 👍

He said more than just kaputt but the soldiers could only remember or understand that one word kaputt

"Kaputt" means "broken" or "destroyed", also "totaly exhausted or wasted" in German. It could be used for things, machines, but also as a personal condition like after a hard day "Ich bin so kaputt" - " I´m so done/wasted"

This is easily my most favourite Sabaton song. idk, during the organ solo you almost can feel the oil mist, your Monosupape R9 (The Engine) constantly spits out, pattering on your face.

The Red Baron, together with Saint Exupery, will always be a legend in the sky.

kaputt is german for broken or busted, most often used when talking about machines i believe, thats at least how we use the same word in swedish

First Yarnhub Sabaton story video that Sabaton didn't make an appearance in the video.

Great reaction as always and I must say...as a longtime fan of Sabaton, this animated story was great! So happy that it's soon your time to see them, I consider myself blessed cause tomorrow it's time to see them again on the open air festival.🤟

It's interesting to note that he didn't so much have the mindset of a warrior, the man was a cold blooded killer. He'd been an avid hunter, and the war came along when hunting no longer scratched his itch. Fighting and killing was pretty much his end all as opposed to his brother Lothar, who was eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we may die, and Hermann Goering who assumed command after his death, a basic narcissist. Manfred was as big a hero as any in the Kaiser's Germany and for a long time they sent him a small silver trophy for each kill. He finally told them to stop as he didn't care about being a hero or for the recognition. The German command wanted to make him their poster boy (aviators were the gun fighters and crusaders of WW1) like the US did with Eddie Rickenbacker. They were constantly frustrated with his lack of enthusiasm for it, he'd do it if ordered because he was a very professional soldier, but he simply regarded it as a distraction from his mission

I realy love how yarnhub narations adds not too subtle references to other songs. Prague 25/8/2022 is getting close.

Germans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the United States. Even more words migrated to American, like doppelganger, iceberg, angst,... Bloody April comes about as the squadron gets new, improved planes. Superior aircraft + superior pilots = carnage.

I think its interesting that he had an approach of "aim for the man", opposing the usual "you won if the enemy's aircraft can't continue the attack"-approach that birthed behavior like that seen from the Stiegler-incident ("No bullets fly")

There's not doubt this pilot was the best pilot of this time nice resume .

From memory according to one documentary I saw, they think it was an Australian Rifleman who actually Shot the Red Baron down.

im also going to the one in houston might seya there ^^

Just don’t play this while driving, alright? I don’t wanna have to deal with the constant people who do play this and end up in the air… I mean it in a nice way…

"Kaputt" literally just means broken in German 😅

Kaputt means Destroyed or broke Greetings from Germany

Kaputt is a regular German word. It simply means broken

Kaput is German for broken.

Wasn't the red barron a tri winged plane?

The word 'Kaputt' is a normal word in the German language and means 'broken'. Nothing special about it, I'm sorry.

Hello

kaputt in german means broken

I am German, but there is a detail I hate about all this hero stuff. Heros are often killers. He killed so many, why is he a hero? I understand if someone has to defend himself or his family, but we Germans were the attackers in this war. If you need a German hero in war times, take Sophie Scholl. Sabaton should do a video about her. The Red Baron was just a killer. Yes, he was an amazing pilot, still a killer. I see no reason to glorify him.
