In the early morning of August 6, 1915, the German gas batteries opened up and a dark green smog of poison gas crept over the Russian lines at Osowiec Fortress.

I can't imagine how terrifying that was for Germans. First, the defenders open their gates, in a dead silence, and then, through gas cloud, they see human shadows, standing, rifles in hand, outfit with blood and vomit on it, with terrible rage in their eyes, starting to charge... So badass, full respect for them

@@Sabaton Fuck that, the less subgrenres metal has the better. You guys play the same music as Priest, Maiden and Motorhead. Be proud to just call yourself heavy metal and nothing else.
All memes aside, the sheer bravery and willpower of the Russians that day cannot be overstated. They had been gassed to the point of being horrifically disfigured, coughing up blood and even bits of their own lungs. They really were dead men, with only days left to live at most. And yet, despite the excruciating pain they suffered, they found the strength to affix their bayonets for one last, desperate charge, determined to make their last few hours count. We are right to honor and admire these men.
Honestly, if some divine being came down as I was writhing in the most excruciating pain possible and said "you can get revenge if you stand up", I'd fucking get up with bayonet attached seeking flesh to plunge it into.
Can you imagine the pure and utter terror those German men felt seeing half dead men basically melting charging them? The primordial fear and desperation that took place on that battlefield.
They literally were convinced they were undead, so they had to have looked absolutely horrifying to scare soilders that had them greatly outnumbered so bad they retreated.

No word of a lie, this song helped me thru the move yesterday. I'm a disabled veteran, afghan campaign, and this song was on repeat to keep me going. If this group of men can fight without lungs, I can move furniture with a fucked knee.

@@astartesfanboy5294 I mean, keep in mind that it embedded pieces of the movie 300 into it, which itself was a tale told to inspire spartans, if you look at the start when the one-eyed guy starts telling it, so naturally embellishment is present. But in this case I think its quite acceptable, in fact its awesome, because it doesnt take away from the fact that 2300 dudes, (300 spartans plus some 2000 odd athenian reinforcements) held off a literal swarm of persians so long. TL;DR: Over embellishment is indeed present, but its appropriate for the tale being told.
Well gas was never used by the Germans in ww2. If they would have used there new stuff absolutely nobody would have survived.. Chlorine gas was a joke against modern agents
They were outnumbered 7 to 1, manning a fortress that was already bombed and gassed by the Germans, yet they ended up not only fending them off but also taking territory from them thanks to the efforts of the 13th company and their Lieutenants, both of whom later died that very same day. To say this battle was legendary would be an understatement, this was a once in a billion miracle
Это легенда, про атаку мертвецов в первый раз написали в 1980-х годах, до этого никто об этом эпизоде не писал. Байка поднявшаяся при перестройке, не более. При этом крепость Осовец сражалась полгода.
Sabaton doesn't care about who wins or loses, the band just wants to highlight courage. To note : Can you guys stop arguing about why war is or isn't bad, this is about those who bravely risked or gave their lives for what they believed in.
There is no winners in war. All sides loses their citizens, cities, army, equipment. I remember watching documentary about Tripitz sinking and the survived germany soldier said that all this war was for nothing. Both sides lost young men who could or had their own children and families.
@@zilvis1140 you must be kidding. If there are no wars, why would we develop new technologies at this fascinating speed? Benefits from new technologies are way more important than a few souls.
"We tell history which should not be forgotten" - Pär in every episode of Sabaton history. It is unbelievable how many events in history are almost forgotten but mentioned in all those great songs.
I actually asked my teacher after seeing this video if we were going to see this history when we were studying abt WW1 and he said "no but that's indeed a good story"
Your forces halted their advance. The unmistakable crack of a rifle being fired rang out. A young man staggered back, clutching his chest. A ragged blotch of crimson stained his uniform, and blood had begun seeping out from between his fingers. He dropped to his knees, then fell back. Who had shot? It couldn't have been one of your own. Everyone turned to the massive plume of toxic fog, breathing heavily through their masks. Footsteps. Rapid, crazed footsteps. Then they came into sight. A horrendous, bone-chilling sight. A handful of the Russians had not let the gas claim them. They were charging, bayonets lowered, steel-blades craving blood in revenge for the spilling of their own. The handful became a hundred. A hundred, angry faces, flesh sloughing off of their faces, blisters erupting on their corroding skin. You open your mouth to scream. All that comes out is a squeak. You're frozen in place, terror gripping you like the hand of God Himself refusing to let you move. They were getting closer, carrying with them the stench of blood, and the sound of suffering. Do you remember those you've killed before, soldier? These ones remember, too. And these ones are pissed.
“All of a sudden it was as if death itself rose out and charged at us. Their faces like demons screaming in agony, blood thirsty for us. I still have nightmares about it.” ~ German Officer 1915
There is one event in history very similar to the feat of the 300 Spartans - Karyagin’s raid. In 1805, 497 Russian soldiers were able to defeat 20,000 Persians. (Sorry if anything is written incorrectly, I don't know English well)
@@Thereallocalanarchist agreed ! 100 guys that just survived a horrific chemical attack *limping* towards their enemy despite the sheer agony of melting alive .... It's horrible but war is the best tool to show humanity's true metal We are indefatigable These 100 men weren't legendary heroes saints or generals They weren't what is typically considered "Impressive" These guys weren't the Spartans at Thermopylae who were raised to be perfect warriors from birth But they displayed what the average Joe is capable of I will never forget that the next time I complain about my petty greivences
Someone I know said that they didn't like Sabaton because their music was disrespectful to the people who died in battle. Personally, if I died in a battle and then many years later some band put out some badass music about how I died fighting honorably and valiantly, I'd be pretty dang proud.
The immortalising of warriors have been a reason for the common man to go to war since the dawn of civilisation. War as something grim and inglorious to be avoided is pretty damn new in a historical context only about 105 ish years. So yes the fallen warriors of all era should be remembered in song. And suggesting otherwise is, at least to me, terribly narrow minded. And thank you glorious bards of sabaton for your efforts in doing just that.
@iPyroXC Russian motto: if I am going to die, you are coming with me. Which continued into WW2, where Soviet soldiers were jumping under German tanks with belt of grenades on them.
just listened to gloryhammer's victorious eagle warfare and the line "a hero cannot be defeated simply by making him die" makes me wonder napalm records and nuclear blast records having a badass competition?
The difference is that To hell and back talks about an american soldier Weak americans die and cant come back due to their degenerate consumerist lifestyle Strong Russian comrades dont die until their duty is finished due to their strong love for the motherland and the power of the peoples revolution Thanks for coming to my TED talk
Whose glory? Nicholas I? Who was nicknamed "bloody", who instead of staying with the people who were dying, went to a ball with foreign ambassadors, who is guilty of shooting civilians who came to him with petitions? Who unleashed one of the most terrible wars? Shame on him!
Interesting fact: Here, in Russia, there is a really famous phrase “Russians never surrender”. But many people don’t know that this phrase appeared after this battle. Actually, brothers of my grate grate grandfather died defending Osowietz.

Imagine being a part of this, being a Russian soldier having your insides dissolving, ready to die and surrender a critical fortress to the Germans, when you suddenly see the soldier next to you cough and get up. That’s when you decide to give all you have left, dying or not.

@@jaytea4093 In 1915 it was still a part of Russian Tsardom LOL (and if I remember the map from the period between the wars it became a part of Poland after its independence in 1918)
@@jaytea4093 Actually, yes, it's true. But "The Attack of the Dead Men" is a counterattack of a particular regiment that guarded the Osowiec fortress in 1915. So it was the Zemlyansk regiment in Osowiec 1915. Zemlyansk is a small city in the Voronezh region (Russia). Consequently, the Attack of the Dead Men is directly related to the ethnically Russian soldiers of the Russian empire, but not to the Poles.

I discovered Sabaton by accident(someone linked 40 to 1 in a sci-fi game forum I am on).I won't say you can learn history from their music..but it does make things interesting, and exposes one to obscure events or people, and inspires one to look up more information.
Dealing with depression, this song has to be one of my top motivation picks. The sheer tenacity of the soldiers to fight when it shouldn't even be possible to do so, deserves my highest respect.

Но с испанским языком они потеряли всё! Ничего от того что они были инками «не осталось». Раньше они были великими людьми с богатой культурой. А сейчас гниют в трущобах, курят Кхм.. Кхм.., да даже язык утратили! Ничего от того что было раньше не осталось! И ты хочешь чтобы все мы стали такими же «Боливийцами» как они? Пожалуйста! Уже от былого наследия Руси не осталось - НИЧЕГО. Человек может жить в новой Зеландии и всё будет как у всех - «ОДИНАКОВО». Можно жить в той же самой Боливии, допустим в городе и всё будет как у всех! Раньше все были разные! А сейчас обратный процесс. Мы потеряли Китай, Грецию, Ацтеков, Маори, чёрную Африку, Россию и всё что в голову взбредёт! Все делают вещи - Одинаково! Все говорят заимствуя слова из английского языка, и утрачивают культуру! Особенно запомнился этот нахал, так называемый - «Пётр Великий». Из-за этого отброса мы стали «Европейцами».

It is incredible how not even the immense physical pain has stopped the strength of the spirit of these legends. The names of each of them must be honored and respected and written in marble, for the sacrifice they offered despite being in pain, vomiting and blood.
I can’t begin to think of the sheer agony these men were experiencing. Blood coming from your eyes, nose and mouth- literally coughing up pieces of your own lungs… And had the willpower and determination to affix bayonets and charge a force that outnumbered them so greatly. Unbreakable doesn’t begin to describe it.
@@scoobydoobers23while that do reign true, why do you suppose they fought? Was it for the hate they felt towards their enemies, was it for the love of all they held dear at home, or was it just done out of duty? Whos to say, what we do know is they wrecked shit and scarred off an army that eclipsed them in size and their souls could rest in piece knowing they fought to their very last breathes
The pale woman stood over the dying man, his lungs melting away as the last few licks of life were slowly seared away by the gas. The ticking of a pocket watch could be heard, as she leaned over the man. She asked him: "Your time is up, yet you still persist... Why?" The man, convinced that she was nothing more than a dying man's illusion chuckled, and simply responded with "It was my duty to defend this fortress, and I will do so till my last breath" The woman chuckled at the man's response, and replied with an unexpected answer: "Fine. But remember, when the bell tolls again, I will return for you." With that, the surreal moment faded. The ticking vanished with the woman, walking away with a black cane and a curved silver handle. With an unexpected burst of energy, he found the strength to pick himself up off the floor. Rifle in hand, covering himself with layers of cloth. He looked around, and many of his brothers lay still while others rose with him. The man thought to himself, feeling his body slowly melt underneath him: "Till my last breath..."

Это был Землянский полк, мои земляки из под Воронежа. Вполне возможно, что в этом полку и служил мой прадед. По крайней мере, он в 1917т году вернулся из германского плена и умер через несколько дней после возвращения, его легкие были уничтожены в результате газовой атаки. Многим удивителен такой порыв русских. Попробую объяснить. У русских тех времен, была очень развита и доминировала Православная вера, а она, в отличие от протестантской этики, полагает главным для души, жизнь Небесную, вечную, а земная жизнь временная. Именно поэтому и были необычные явления в русской жизни. Презрение к наживе, самопожертвование, способность быть стойким, когда очень трудно, отсутствие комфорта. Потому, что все временно. Сейчас жизнь изменилась, изменились и русские, материальная жизнь берет свое, но где то в глубине у нас у всех где то спрятан этот выключатель, и когда надо, он щелкает. Типа "... А пошло оно все". И русский опять становится русским. Никто и никогда не решит русский вопрос, потому что Россия и ее народ живет сам по себе, зачастую в другом измерении со властью. И кто решит воевать с русскими учтите это.

That said, let's just say i never imagined the pullout, or Saigon 2.0 could have been executed so absolutely incompetent by the WH and its Staff. 20 years of war, lots of money wasted, lots of guys going home in coffins or permanently injured one way or another for nothing. And there is nobody in the media or politics that asks some accountability from politicians for all of this. Sorry for making the message a bit on the heavy side.

This story reminds me of the battle of hill 731 between Greece and Italy in WW2. The Italians made tried 17 times to take the hill bombing it with everything the got. Both the Italians and the other Greek soldier's couldn't believe that anything could stay alive on that hill after such a bombardment.But when the Italians marched to take the hill they heard machine gun noises and they saw men full of blood and dust( some of them even missing a limb) running towards them with bayonets in their hands and chasing them down the hill. This hill is today called hill 726 because it lost 5 meters due to heavy bombing.The Italians named this counter-attack " the counter attack of the beasts".
Very interesting story of courage and bravery. We have also a similar battle in our history. In WW1 on the mount Kaymakchalan in Macedonia, two Bulgarian regiments managed to hold all of the attacks against the whole Serbian division. The bombardments were so heavy that the mount became shorter with 10 meters. Greece strong! 🇬🇷♥️🇧🇬
Georgia had something like this but before guns were invented, it was between 30 thousand Georgians against 300-400 thousand Turks, and Georgia won and then chased them out too, I guess orthodox Christians are just different

They had been gassed to the point of being horrifically disfigured, coughing up blood and even bits of their own lungs. They really were dead men, with only days left to live at most. And yet, despite the excruciating pain they suffered, they found the strength to affix their bayonets for one last, desperate charge, determined to make their last few hours count. We are right to honor and admire these men.

And yet, one of them lived to 2005 IIRC (read somewhere on the internet)...

@Sabaton should say that I wouldn’t take it all to be true. Amazing music, but your Sparta one was extremely inaccurate.
@@astartesfanboy5294 I mean, keep in mind that it embedded pieces of the movie 300 into it, which itself was a tale told to inspire spartans, if you look at the start when the one-eyed guy starts telling it, so naturally embellishment is present. But in this case I think its quite acceptable, in fact its awesome, because it doesnt take away from the fact that 2300 dudes, (300 spartans plus some 2000 odd athenian reinforcements) held off a literal swarm of persians so long.
TL;DR: Over embellishment is indeed present, but its appropriate for the tale being told.

They were outnumbered 7 to 1, manning a fortress that was already bombed and gassed by the Germans, yet they ended up not only fending them off but also taking territory from them thanks to the efforts of the 13th company and their Lieutenants, both of whom later died that very same day.

Your forces halted their advance. The unmistakable crack of a rifle being fired rang out. A young man staggered back, clutching his chest. A ragged blotch of crimson stained his uniform, and blood had begun seeping out from between his fingers. He dropped to his knees, then fell back.
Who had shot? It couldn't have been one of your own. Everyone turned to the massive plume of toxic fog, breathing heavily through their masks. Footsteps. Rapid, crazed footsteps.
Then they came into sight. A horrendous, bone-chilling sight. A handful of the Russians had not let the gas claim them. They were charging, bayonets lowered, steel-blades craving blood in revenge for the spilling of their own. The handful became a hundred.
A hundred, angry faces, flesh sloughing off of their faces, blisters erupting on their corroding skin. You open your mouth to scream. All that comes out is a squeak. You're frozen in place, terror gripping you like the hand of God Himself refusing to let you move. They were getting closer, carrying with them the stench of blood, and the sound of suffering.
Do you remember those you've killed before, soldier?

Dealing with depression, this song has to be one of my top motivation picks. The sheer tenacity of the soldiers to fight when it shouldn't even be possible to do so, deserves my highest respect.
И ты говоришь что что я некогда не видел, и не увижу советский союз. Совсем нет, увижу, если выживу... Я в совершенстве владею квантовой, ядерной, и обычной физикой. А так же высшей математикой. Никто не знает то что знаю я. Мой КИ равняется ста девяносто трем, удивительно, а ведь я росту, и мой КИ тоже. У меня получилась закрутить свет. В обычной физике это не представляется возможным. Однако в квантовой физике... Когда я смотрел статьи про нерешённые уравнения в физике для моей "Машины Времени", и нашел то что мне было нужно. Я не буду писать полное уравнения, твой небольшой мозг итак перегружен. Я замедлил свет, перед этим закрутив его, это невозможно, нету причины и следствия, это искажает пространство как его искожаю масоные объекты, и сгруппированные и меньше объёмом. То есть искажается пространство, и искажается время. В первый раз я ощутил легкий ветерок в сторону аппарата. Я сразу понял что получилась. Во второй раз я по классике использовал яблоко. Тот же эффект, но яблоко не было. Оно попала в прошлое, вероятнее всего в космос. В следующий раз я проверну этот трюк с собой, но расчеты скорости света должны быть невероятно точный. Земля движется, а я в пространстве. Я должен оказаться в метре над землей советского союза.

@@etansmooth Нынче молодёжь двигается в какую-то пропасть. Все эти: чил, рофл, пон, норм, пр...и.тд. просто искореняют культуру государства. Скорей, всего такими темпами(году так к 2100) все слова станут такими. Нынешних детей от компьютеров не отодрать. Они как правило, играют в свои "Виртуальные"(как они утверждают) игры, и даже на улицу не выходят. КПРФ может задействовать обратный процесс. Не будет(По крайней мере я надеюсь) всяких: "Тик-ток", "Лайкее"(или по дурному "Лайк"), " Among us"...И других социальных сетей, где люди самостоятельно искореняют свой разум. Не будет музыки подобно "моргенштерн", "элджей", "slava marlow"(Специально с маленькой буквы), "Тимати"... и подобного шлака. Люди слушая эту музыку начинают пить спиртное, курить табак, да и того хуже. Конечно не собираешься. Культура государства - это слова длинной, буквы три, - это заимствования из противного английского языка, - это рэп и попса внушающая про запрещённые вещества и девушек лёгкого поведения, - и это компьютерные игрушки, да приложения для отупения. Человек готов говна на лопате в рот запихнуть, лишь бы получить удовольствие и потерять ум и деньги за зря. И ты лезешь в туже нору, которую нельзя покинуть. Лезь дальше, времени то, у тебя, как воздуха в лёгких, а терять не хочется. Да на себя посмотри! Что чех, что русский!; Что темнокожий в африке, что француз!; Что американец, что британец!
Я тебе про культуру говорю! Её сохранили Максимум китайцы, да маори. Остальные позаимствовали из английского.(Ваши плэй кап ю чил и прочие). И мыслят тем что позаимствовали. И что теперь?! Все люди станут одинаковыми! Давай один человек будет Еб... Кхм, кхм, темнокожего! Они как и все в этом мире, будут на английском говорить!
Приведу пример - «Боливия». 80% это индейцы. Но с испанским языком они потеряли всё! Ничего от того что они были инками «не осталось». Раньше они были великими людьми с богатой культурой. А сейчас гниют в трущобах, курят Кхм.. Кхм.., да даже язык утратили! Ничего от того что было раньше не осталось! И ты хочешь чтобы все мы стали такими же «Боливийцами» как они? Пожалуйста! Уже от былого наследия Руси не осталось - НИЧЕГО. Человек может жить в новой Зеландии и всё будет как у всех - «ОДИНАКОВО». Можно жить в той же самой Боливии, допустим в городе и всё будет как у всех! Раньше все были разные! А сейчас обратный процесс. Мы потеряли Китай, Грецию, Ацтеков, Маори, чёрную Африку, Россию и всё что в голову взбредёт! Все делают вещи - Одинаково! Все говорят заимствуя слова из английского языка, и утрачивают культуру! Особенно запомнился этот нахал, так называемый - «Пётр Великий». Из-за этого отброса мы стали «Европейцами». Всё как в Европе и ни черта своего! И твой слэнг это уничтожение культуры людей! Всей земли! Мне за тебя стыдно, ингалятор, очень стыдно.
Сами виноваты, жили во грехе и вседозволенности. Теперь вы ощутите на себе гнет божий, ибо так сказал Отче наш небесный. А вы даже не пытайся бежать. Как саранча, армия демонов налетит на гнилое человечество. Армагеддон уже близко. Все хорошие люди отправится в иной мир. Мир, где нет тик-тока и лайка, мир, где нету измены и лжы. Все же плохие люди, будут жестоко растерзаны в клочья. Девятиголовый зверь восстанет из моря, вся земля тотчас же превратится в крематорий. Небо в кровь режит молнии на куски. Дьявол рогами пробивает пространство, и земля стонет громко душами падших. Кровь отразится в куполах черных башин.

It is incredible how not even the immense physical pain has stopped the strength of the spirit of these legends. The names of each of them must be honored and respected and written in marble, for the sacrifice they offered despite being in pain, vomiting and blood.
I can’t begin to think of the sheer agony these men were experiencing. Blood coming from your eyes, nose and mouth- literally coughing up pieces of your own lungs…
And had the willpower and determination to affix bayonets and charge a force that outnumbered them so greatly.
Unbreakable doesn’t begin to describe it.
What did they have to lose? They were already walking dead.

@@scoobydoobers23while that do reign true, why do you suppose they fought? Was it for the hate they felt towards their enemies, was it for the love of all they held dear at home, or was it just done out of duty?

The pale woman stood over the dying man, his lungs melting away as the last few licks of life were slowly seared away by the gas. The ticking of a pocket watch could be heard, as she leaned over the man. She asked him:
"Your time is up, yet you still persist... Why?"
The man, convinced that she was nothing more than a dying man's illusion chuckled, and simply responded with
"It was my duty to defend this fortress, and I will do so till my last breath"
The woman chuckled at the man's response, and replied with an unexpected answer:
"Fine. But remember, when the bell tolls again, I will return for you."
With that, the surreal moment faded. The ticking vanished with the woman, walking away with a black cane and a curved silver handle.
With an unexpected burst of energy, he found the strength to pick himself up off the floor. Rifle in hand, covering himself with layers of cloth. He looked around, and many of his brothers lay still while others rose with him. The man thought to himself, feeling his body slowly melt underneath him:
"Till my last breath..."

Это был Землянский полк, мои земляки из под Воронежа. Вполне возможно, что в этом полку и служил мой прадед. По крайней мере, он в 1917т году вернулся из германского плена и умер через несколько дней после возвращения, его легкие были уничтожены в результате газовой атаки. Многим удивителен такой порыв русских. Попробую объяснить. У русских тех времен, была очень развита и доминировала Православная вера, а она, в отличие от протестантской этики, полагает главным для души, жизнь Небесную, вечную, а земная жизнь временная. Именно поэтому и были необычные явления в русской жизни. Презрение к наживе, самопожертвование, способность быть стойким, когда очень трудно, отсутствие комфорта. Потому, что все временно. Сейчас жизнь изменилась, изменились и русские, материальная жизнь берет свое, но где то в глубине у нас у всех где то спрятан этот выключатель, и когда надо, он щелкает. Типа "... А пошло оно все". И русский опять становится русским. Никто и никогда не решит русский вопрос, потому что Россия и ее народ живет сам по себе, зачастую в другом измерении со властью. И кто решит воевать с русскими учтите это.

Thanks a lot guys!. for giving an voice to all the lost souls in history!.
I wish things turned out better in Afghanistan and I wish a blessed time with your family and with Christ.It is our governments fault for the loss not your fault or the military's and our government is planning to withdraw troops from Iraq on December 31st.
@@sethfrisbie3957 Thanks for your support, Do not worry about it. I came out still healthy both physically and mentally.
I have left the service a few years ago. Honestly everyone that has been to Afghanistan knew it was an house of cards that we where artificially keeping upright from the very first deployments there.
That said, let's just say i never imagined the pullout, or Saigon 2.0 could have been executed so absolutely incompetent by the WH and its Staff.
20 years of war, lots of money wasted, lots of guys going home in coffins or permanently injured one way or another for nothing. And there is nobody in the media or politics that asks some accountability from politicians for all of this.
Sorry for making the message a bit on the heavy side. Sabaton songs on youtube are maybe not really the place to post this stuff on.
But here is my short take on the Afghanistan conflict regardless ;).
Take care, and stay safe.
@@specopswolf you to.I wish our politicians were honest with the people.
I recommend you whole genre of Soviet-Afghan war soldiers' songs. The feels.

"Russian don't surrender ...NO" русские не сдаются. В совествком союзе не принято было воспевать подвиги царских войск.. поэтому среди нас - не все знают подробности и даже САМ ФАКТ этой битве...но выражение РУССКИЕ НЕ СДАЮТСЯ - появилось после этой битвы. МЫ ВСЕ ЕГО ЗНАЕМ. спасибо , Сабатон, что зажгли в наших сердцах...гордость...за свой народ...и соединили времён связующую нить... которая рвётся нещадно
Я училась в сельской школе в 90ые годы по советским учебникам, но я с детства знаю об этом подвиге.
This story reminds me of the battle of hill 731 between Greece and Italy in WW2. The Italians made tried 17 times to take the hill bombing it with everything the got. Both the Italians and the other Greek soldier's couldn't believe that anything could stay alive on that hill after such a bombardment.But when the Italians marched to take the hill they heard machine gun noises and they saw men full of blood and dust( some of them even missing a limb) running towards them with bayonets in their hands and chasing them down the hill. This hill is today called hill 726 because it lost 5 meters due to heavy bombing.The Italians named this counter-attack " the counter attack of the beasts".
Very interesting story of courage and bravery. We have also a similar battle in our history. In WW1 on the mount Kaymakchalan in Macedonia, two Bulgarian regiments managed to hold all of the attacks against the whole Serbian division. The bombardments were so heavy that the mount became shorter with 10 meters.
Greece strong! 🇬🇷♥️🇧🇬
nice story bro. it's very very interesting.
I'm Greek and its amazing seeing how brave Greek soldiers we're and are to this day, its kinda like inspiration.
Makes sense. Y’all got the blood of Leonidas.
Georgia had something like this but before guns were invented, it was between 30 thousand Georgians against 300-400 thousand Turks, and Georgia won and then chased them out too, I guess orthodox Christians are just different
Я думаю, что давно пора дать Sabaton звание "Народных артистов России". Они достойны больше, чем 99% наших "музыкантов"
