The Sabaton Song Attero Dominatus is about the Soviet advance on Berlin in the last months of World War Two. As the Soviets approach Berlin, two commanders, General Zhukov and General Konev, try their best to be the ones to take the centre of the German capital. Meanwhile, thousands of Germans are raped or murdered by the Soviets in retaliation to the atrocities that the Germans committed in the east.

I think you should react to Hearts of Iron by Sabaton. It's definitely my favorite song by Sabaton. It's about a German general, Walter Wencke, in the last days of World War II who decided to disobey orders to relieve Berlin and decided to instead help evacuate the 9th Army, which was defending Berlin, as well as several civilians.
I have done it. It's on Patreon now.
@@TouchyReactions I can't wait to see it! I think you should react to all the songs on their heroes album. They're all incredible stories. I think you're only missing Smoking Snakes, which is about three heroes from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force during World War 2, Far from the Fame, which is about a Czech pilot, Ballad of Bull, which is about an Australian medic who saved 12 American soldiers by running into a combat zone and carrying them out, and Soldier of Three Armies, which is about a soldier who fought for Finland, Germany, and the US.
Sabaton started by trying to release a normal metal album that was not about history, but they were told by the record company that they would not release it until metal became popular again. Eventually, they released their first album, Primo Victoria, which is about history. Attero Dominatus is the title track of their second album.
Interesting.Didn't know, But at the same time they have painted them self into a corner.
Early Sabaton songs have alot of, call it, Latin. Attero is a possessive of: to wear away, with a connotation of destruction. Dominatus is: absolute power, shares a couple roots with Dictator, or literally a sovereign. So you end up with a meaning closer to 'weaken total control' than the contextual 'destroy tyranny', for which there is a phrase 'atteri tyrannis'. I grew up in a part of Italy where Italian Standard and Latin are spoken at about the same frequency.
To note about whats not taught under American exceptionalism, the quality of troops the US faced during the liberation. American forces were often not facing crack German units in high concentrations, they often faced quite poor quality troops. The utter dregs were largely feed to the Soviets as speed bumps and to screen their truly exceptional, motivated and experienced units. One of the 101st/502nds most often told victories was against a shattered unit of panzer grenadiers in retreat from Sword, who scraped up a reinforced platoon and 3 panzers and a relatively well equipped and entrenched company of literal conscripts. They got rolled over by the dogfaces, mostly cause airborne don't fuck around (*yells at wife while she walks by* if you aint airborne, you aint shit). But if you read the reports and the retelling, you'd think they were 3000 of Germanys best, half of the poor sods taken prisoner didnt even speak German
That’s really cool that you learned Latin from a young age! Not too many people can still say that they’re native Latin speakers!
Neato! What part of Italy is this?
@@mushinbujin Prealpi Venete, is the proper name, but its usually just identified as the Veneto Alps. The very most northern part of Veneto. Small villages in the central mountains frequently speak Latin as their main language aswell, atleast that was the case 20 years ago, imagine enough of the forcing to speak Roman has put an end to that being more than a novelty.
Can't the 2 words mean something like "merciless conquest" or something along those lines?
Ah yes, attero dominatus.
That's power flowing in through your ears and makes me wanna go even harder in the gym.
The guy who made that fan video, ASCotter, is really good. Also Knight SGC Archive. They both make excellent Sabaton videos.
ASCotter did an amazing vid for 'Aces in Exile' so I hope that's the one that gets used when you dive into it.
Great reaction! Nice to meet your dog - it's sweet! and a pirate ship!
Thanks for watching till the end of the video.
Unfortunately the Wackin 2019 crowd only had about 20% of the energy of the Woodstock 2012 crowd for this song. Doesn't mean this crowd wasn't in it. It's just extremely hard to come close to that Woodstock 2012 crowd.
Yeah, that Woodstock crowd was amazing.
Pirate ship! Sabaton has another song about the Battle of Berlin from the point of view of members of the German army who went "screw that" to their orders to defend Berlin to the last man and instead worked to evacuate civilians. Can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head, though.
Yes. "Hearts of Iron". I have reacted to it. It's on my Patreon channel right now.
@@TouchyReactions Yay!
Puppy! Good doggo 🐶
Many of their WW2 songs are in my top favorites. Primo Victoria, the Last Battle, Attero Dominatus, Resist & Bite, Saboteurs.
Pirate Ship
Seeing as you've done all but Saboteurs, I now request it! Out of all the songs its story is one of my favorites. Here's a short historical background from Sabaton's website: "The Norwegian Heavy Water Sabotage was a series of action undertaken by Norwegian saboteurs in 1943 at Vemork, Norway, during World War Two to prevent the German nuclear energy project from acquiring heavy water, which could have been used by the Nazis to produce nuclear weapons. In February 1943, following a failed British attempt to destroy the Facility, a team of SOE-trained Norwegian commandos succeeded in destroying the production facility. It was the most successful act of Sabotage in all of WW2 (Text credits: Gregory Sandoz)"
Their actions are arguably one of the greatest victories against the Axis. Can you imagine the outcome of WW2 if Hitler had gained nuclear arms?
You rock man. Love your reactions as always
Pirate ship - great reaction. Looking forward to the next Sabaton reaction. Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you! Will do!
Aww - What a nice dog! I hope you will react to Saboteur. Not their most famous song, but the story is fantastic.
Yes, I have reacted to it already. It's over on my Patreon channel right now.
Great reaction as always Touchy!
I think your wife is wrong, you are already a member of the Sabaton army according to me 🤘🇸🇪🤘.
Pirateship
Thanks, and thanks for watching the whole thing.
aww doggy
I am definitely looking forward to a full year of Sabaton deep dives! Oh, and pirate ship.
Thank you for always watching till the end.
Yeah, basically in 2012 after recording the Carolus Rex album all of the original members except bassist Par and vocalist Joakim left due to their touring schedule getting too heavy (and eventually formed the band Civil War). Every former band member (that was in the band for over a year) except for pre-2012 guitarist Oskar Montellius agreed to play with the current members for the 20th Anniversary concert headlining Wacken 2019 to celebrate the band's history and how far they have come. It was a great show! Both sets of members played together for the entire second half of the show, mostly old songs, but also some new songs.
As for the evolution of their music, yeah they made a self released album/demo called "First For Fight" in 2001 that was eventually remastered and released officially as "Metalizer" in 2007 (After "Primo Victoria" in 2005 and "Attero Dominatus" in 2006). That is the only album that is not history related and the band generally does not play any songs from it live (with the exception of the song "Masters Of The World", which is usually played over the speakers when the band is taking a bow and leaving the stage at the end of a concert).
awesome. Thanks for the extra trivia.
Aw, bonnie wee doggo.
Loved it🥰
This song makes me want to replay Call of Duty WaW. What the Nazis did to those innocent people fueled the Red armies hatred and vengeance which they unleashed on the people of Berlin
It's part of my Autobahn playlist in my car.
It's about time you did Destroy Tyranny. One of my favourites.
You and your wife would love Ballad of the Bull by Sabaton as well.
I did "ballad of bull" already. It's over patreon now.
@@TouchyReactions IAs I don't have the option of Patreon. I shall wait. Though it will be hard to wait for that one. I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to it. More so the history then the song. But how can I not. A hero acknowledged by all but his own nation. That's a great story!
Festival in Wacken was Sabaton's 20-th anniversary concert. They used two stages, and invited all their former members to participate. They felt, that all those guys contributed to bands success. Song is epic.
Soviets lost the most soldiers, that's true, but partially it was due to Stalin's disregard for human life. He knew, that any number of soldier's can be replaced from his " human resources ". That said, it's human life, no matter what reasons, and Nazis had even bigger disregard for those who were not "übermensh" as they said. The atrocities they committed... Well, the song "The final solution" speaks about it. I recommend it.
Pirate ship ( always watch the whole thing, because I like your approach to every song )
Thank you fot always watching till the end.
@@TouchyReactions It's history and I'm a geek (for history, that is ), besides, Sabaton is great band on all counts: music, vocal, merit and videos, of course. And you digging into history has impact on everybody watching since they learn more about times we should never forget.🇵🇱🇺🇲
Definitely need to react to The Ballad of Bull: story of an Australian stretcher bearer who rescued 12 US marines on New Guinea in WW2 and received the Silver Star
I've reacted to it already. It's over on the Patreon right now. It should be released on RUclips in the next few weeks.
Great reaction Touchy Reactions! All aboard the Sabaton pirate ship! 🤘🏻
Thanks Austin
@@TouchyReactions you’re welcome.
Well, I guess we're on a pirate ship now, and our captain reacts to shanties...erm.... Sabaton ;)
I must admit, I'm regretting not taking history in school, but since I discovered and started Sabaton in 2008 I did enough studying to catch up (or so I think till their next song drops anyways). Let's keep this pirateship rocking!
BTW Sabaton have a trilogy of songs:
Metal Machine (lyrics made up of out of song names)
Metal Crüe (lyrics made up out of band names)
Metal Ripper (lyrics made up out of song lyrics)
Piscator's channel have some great video's of these songs, they are not about military history at all, but it's a fun trilogy to do as well...
Thank you for always watching till the end. And thanks for the song recommendations. They are on the list.
They actually did a medley of the three and called it Metal Trilogy. It's in the same mini album as their Kingdom Come cover.
@@DakotaKid95 yeah but all three songs are cut and the videos for the seperate ones are super cool... playing spot the reference and all
Ya, I recommend listening to each song separately first. It was just a cool thing they did with them.
You know, Sabaton hasn't done any songs about pirate ships. The closest they've gotten is probably Bismarck, and that only by virtue of it being a ship. If you want pirates, Alestorm would probably be the way to go.
Running Wild are the Godfathers of piratemetal. Their album Under Jolly Roger came out back in 1985. 🤘
Thanks for watching till the end of the video
@@TouchyReactions wouldn't miss it
a good one to follow this one up with is Sabaton - hearts of iron that Indy Neidell talks about. I like the story in it and the song. The Ship Queen Anne's Revenge🏴☠ with it's Pirate Captain Edward "Blackbeard" Teach🦜.
Thanks for watching till the end. I've done Hearts of Iron. It's over on the patreon right now.
Pirate ship - And Finn! May we know Roxy some time? (and excelent reaction, as always :D )
Thanks for watching till the end. I'll try to get Roxy in a video.
@@TouchyReactions yaaay!, and no prob, i enjoy your videos a lot !!
Pirate ship 🏴☠️
Great video
Thanks for watching the video till the end.
oh if ya dont know most old members are in the band Civil war
Hey only just found your channel hope the start of your year is going well so far, have you seen the new single soldier of heaven, omg it's awesome 👌😍😍🥰🥰 xx
Yes, my wife and I reacted to it live at it's release. You can find it on the channel.
@@TouchyReactions awesome I'll have a looky, have a great day 😀 x
Spaking of older classics, Wolfpack is an absolute banger. Amd while on the topic of the allied armies stopping in the Elbe river, you definetly want to check out the song Hearts of Iron, speaking about the german army refusing Hitler's direct orders, instead trying to save as many civilians as possible from the advancing Soviets (i feel a bit silly now that i see Indy also explains this in the video)
Do the views actually drop off when the song part of the reaction is over? I cant imagine not sticking by for the history, or even clicking on a video with the intent to only watch half of it.
I've done "hearts of iron". It's on Patreon now. Wolfpack is on the list. Most watch till the end.
@@TouchyReactions wait a week for my paycheck to hit and i'll probably be able to join Patreon then
PIRATE SHIP!!!
Thanks for watching till the end of the video.
OMG, A PUPPERS!!!!
Probably already said, but "Dominatus" is Latin, so it would be Dohmehnahtoos. IDK but most people think that "u" in Latin is the same as the modern English version.
So when Attero Dominatus is done I think it's time for Hearts of Iron: It's same event but from different perspecrtive. Also Pirate ship
I've already done it. It's over on Patreon right now.
I like the heavyness of early Sabaton. React to Panzer Batallion from Primo Victoria album.
I have reacted to it already. It's on my Patreon channel right now.
Hey can I recommend a sabaton song?
Can you put their song Hearts of iron on the list as well it’s one of my favorite sabaton songs I think you’ll like.
Just don’t forget to do the history video too. Love the reactions :)
I always watch these videos to the end.
"Hearts of Iron" is over on patreon now. RUclips in a few weeks.
Alestorm is also a great band that plays pirate metal on their pirate ship 🤟😉
I've reacted to them.
Pirate ship hearts of iron is a good song
Thanks for watching the whole thing. I've done "hearts of iron". It's on Patreon now.
Pirateship👍
Thanks for watching till the end of the video.
When will the boys put out a song about Blackbeard? It'd be awesome to see them tearing shit up in a pirate ship!
Thanks for watching till the end of the video.
Pirate ship. Since you mentioned it, you should do some stuff by alestrom. Drink, shipwrecked, f#cked with an anchor, and questing upon the poop deck are great songs
Thanks for watching till the end of the video.
I prefer live from Swedish Empire DVD (Woodstock 2012 Poland) because it is also cool and have better audio quality.
You should check out their new song Soldier of Heaven!
I reacted to it live when it dropped. You can find it on my channel.
pirate ship that is cool.
Sabation should do a couple of Pirate songs.
Thanks for watching till the end of the video
next pls react to Rise of the evil, also do it w fan made video
Roughly, "Attero Dominatus" = "Wear down the oppressor" and "Denique Interimo" = "Smashed at last." Direct translations are tricky because of nuances. "Primo Victoria" for example, is not really "First victory" but more like "Victory matters more than anything else."
I believe attero dominatus means wasteful domination, one of the reasons one of the lines say disregard the losses.
And keep in mind that it should be Prima Victoria, but they didn't know that at the time of writing.
Cute dog🥰
I love pirate ships! \o/
Thanks for watching till the end of the video
Amazing video as always, I highly suggest Hearts Of Iron next.
I have reacted to it already. It's on my Patreon channel right now.

Nothing to add, other than pirate ship 😉
Hello. Thank you for watching till the end of the video.
You should try listening to "In the name of god" it's about the maniacal ideals of Terrorists
Thanks, I've added it to my list.

Pirate ship🤗
You are the first. Thanks
@@TouchyReactions I always hang around until the end.
Best reactor, can’t help I think so.
Finn is the second best😁🤗
Russia in WW2 proves the saying "quality over quantity" wrong. They just threw millions upon millions of men at them and won.
Yeah, but they lost so many lives doing it. Sad
Recommend checking out Hearts of Iron
I've already done "Hearts of Iron". It's over on Patreon now.
