There are many examples where Guerrilla warfare was used in an attempt to force out or at least harass a foreign invader or domestic military power. Partisan movements are almost always connected to a certain ideology or party - after all, they rebel against a power they disagree with. We haven't mentioned a lot of different movements and causes in this episode, not because we don't value or support them or their cause, but because we have a limited amount of time to cover a general topic in. As Indy also states in the video, we have picked several examples to describe what Guerrilla Warfare was. Please share any additional groups or events that are relevant for this episode, but keep it civil and keep your political thoughts to yourself.

I mean to me, I would tell the difference between who they target. An freedom fighting group that attacks military and strategic targets (Railways count as strategic targets even if they're used by civilians) A terrorist group attacks civilians and civilian targets. They take hostages and they rob to sustain themselves. But... alas this isn't something that other people follow.

2:55 It could be argued that the father of modern guerrilla war was Michael Collins, not Mao. Zedong actually studied Collins' writings on guerrilla warfare and adopted it as his own.
14:10 - I actually thought that the change in the rythm was done on purpose to highlight the change from the calm of waiting to a short and violent fight.

In today´s video for a moment I thought you would not mention Cuba, but you did. Please keep making this extraordinary and priceless content, you have a big fan here on the Caribean.
This belongs to my top 2 favorite sabaton songs along with rise of evil. The thing I love about this song is, that at the beginning it is slow but powerful and even somewhat aggressive. You feel the atmosphere as the partisans see the german and wait for them with hatred in their hearts eagerly counting to unleash their wrath. Then in the second part it finally escalates in their violent attack. It’s as if you are waiting among them to destroy the enemy and attack with them together.
I remember listening to this song when I was in the French military museum, it felt very inspiring especially walking across the Free French and resistance exhibits
Our Country is full of an unbreakable partisan fighters like Maam Nieves and its 150 men using pipe gun. The Hunter ROTC, and even communist Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapones(People's Army Against Japanese).
Why would anyone even give these videos thumb down votes? All they do is go out of their way and explain their music and lyrics to us while teaching us history. What's not to like? Sabaton and war history over the centuries. Its awesome!
Nazi soldier 1942: Oberstleutnant Schmidt, I need to say something about the Guerillas we're fighting. Oberstleutnant Schmidt: What about them? Nazi Soldier: Nobody said anything about the Guerillas being Gorillas. Oberstleutnant Schmidt:....hehe Guerilla Gorillas...or would it be Gorilla Guerillas, hahaha that's funny either way.

A grave mistake. Indy should have known better :) I'm not going to be triggered over this as Balkan history is nuanced but this part is really wrong abut most of it since partisan movement in Yugoslavia started in Croatia and spread to Bosnia while Chetniks were in Serbia mostly. And they "kinda sometimes cooperated" but by the end they were the bitter enemies and represented total opposites.
@@mario1997281 First official organized uprising in Yugoslavia was on 22.6.1941. in a forest near Sisak, Croatia. It was named "Sisački narodnooslobodilački odred" (Sisak people's liberation partisan detachment)
@@ThrowawayModeller The first formal uprising led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia was on 7th July. It is true that the Sisak detachment was formed earlier but it wasn't formed by the official command of the Communist Party and it wasn't that significant. There were also many more smaller "uprisings" before the creation of Sisak detachment. Those uprisings mostly occured in Bosnia and weren't led by any official military group or institution. They were simply a result of Ustasha killings of Serbs so people have organized to defend themselves against Ustasha slaughters. That's why the formation of Sisak detachment cannot be taken as an official start of the uprising in Yugoslavia.
@@mario1997281 It was organised by the local Communist party and while not a primary source, even the Serbian Wikipedia says it's the first organised partisan detachment in Yugoslavia.
The Winter War wasn't a guerilla war though, just a war between a highly mobile force fighting in-depth and one confined to the roads. The closest thing to it would be the finnish sabotage teams working behind enemy lines during the Continuation war, but that's closer to special forces than guerillas.
My great-grandmother was saved by Soviet partisans. She and the entire population of the village were saved from a burning barn. Nazi occupiers drove them there, locked and set fire to the building.
That was a pretty common practise by the Nazi and Fascist occupiers in Yugoslavia too. I've read that they've once burned over 200 civilians in September of 1941 in a village in Bosnian Krajina. I cannot even imagine how many people died in that horrible way...
@@mario1997281 My family today live in Odessa (big city near the Black sea in Ukraine). There were gunpowder warehouses not far from the place where we live today. Here on 19 October of 1941 romanian occupation government burned alive over 22,000 people: soldiers, sailors, mostly civilians; men, women, children; Jews, Russians, Ukrainians. I never understood why people do such terrible things. Why do people still try to sort each other by nationality or race?
Just a small, but VERY important note - the chetniks actually fought on the side of the Axis forces (for the larger majority of the war) and were AGAINST Tito and his forces and regularly fought often together with NDH and the Germans/the SS against the partisans. I hope the WW2 channel won't mistake the two as it's a reeeeaaallyyyy big difference and as it's in the Balkans, the difference is so much more important. I can provide sources to that if you wish edit - Partisans operated also in Southern and Eastern Croatia, in modern terms (Dalmatia and Slavonia respectively)
During the later stages of the Philippine-American war, the Philippine Revolutionary Army descended into Guerrilla warfare. They lost in the end because the President Emilio Anguinaldo didn’t listen to his General Antonio Luna about going into Guerrilla warfare soon enough. Also the occupation of the Philippines by Japan. There were many groups, from the Commonwealth army, to the Moro Muslims, to the Communist under Luis Tarlac. By the time the Americans arrived the Japanese only had 12 out of the 48 Provence’s in their hands. My Great Grander was a leader in a resistance group. Another example is the tactics used by the Finnish Army during the Winter War. They would use skis for mobility. Another good example were the boers. They would fight a bush war against the English.
Luis Taruc of the HUKBALAHAP (Hukbong ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon) (People's Army Against the Japanese) Just a minor correction. That was the largest guerilla force in the Philippines during the Japanese occupation.
don't forget the HUNTERS ROTC, made up of ROTC from University of the Philippines and young cadets (some of them haven't even graduated) from the Philippine Military Academy
I liked listening this during my conscription. Entire Finnish army modern day strategy is to fight large organized "guerilla warfare" combined with traditional military structure. No static fronlines. Gain momentary manpower advantage in one place you chose->destroy the enemy-> hit the rest of the enemy force with large artillary barrage -> retreat -> repeat. Once enemy is wore down enough...massive counter attack with armour, mechanized infantry and motorized infantry as the spearhead.
@@lavrentivs9891 Yeah I didn't mean it is actual guerilla warfare. And it is not regularu defnse in depth either. Finnish defence forces have a cinenatic video about it. Army doctorine 2015 or something like that.
When Russia is your neighbor and Talvista has beat them into barely submitted that's the best option ever. Highly respect for Finland. Poland and now Ukraine. The miracle of Kiev still amazes me.
Ich danke Euch !!!'For that great song and video,mein Respekt for all soldiers and civil !!! Dankeschön for telling and explaining this darkest history !!! Liebe grüsse Alex🤘War knows no nation.
How have I never come across this song before? It’s awesome! Great job on helping Par remember what the song was about, that was pretty funny since they usually remember most of what their songs are about.
Now Lads, if you want to talk about Guerrilla Warfare, you need the man who reinvented it. Micheal Collins of Éire! And maybe a bit more into fine Irish History :3
The Resistance movement in Nazi occupied Greece scored noumerous hits and sabotages to the enemy. While they were met with brutal reprisals (such as the massacre of Distomo), or rounding up all civilians in a town square where Nazi collaborators wearing black hoods would point their finger to partizans and revoloutionaries leading to mass executions, their resolve never faltered. From small acts like lowering the Nazi flag from the pole in Acropolis (Athens) and giving shelter and all sorts of aid to ally saboteurs (food, information, means to flee the country etc), to great acts of sabotage (such as the explosion of the Gorgopotamos bridge) or attacking convoys and garissons. For the entire occupation they were a thorn in their side, both in the cities and in the outskirts.
Guerrilla warfare is one key part of wars. When you fight an enemy who is superior in a lot of ways, it's better to rely on your own tactics and fight back in some other way. But guys, you can't blame us for thinking it is about partisans. Although if the shoes fit, put it on. This song is going to be really good. And always, guys. Storytellers and history geeks. Do not change that.
By any chance have you remembered what specific event this song was about? I've been making a playlist of all Sabaton World War 2 songs in chronological order and while it is vague enough that I can slap this song almost anywhere it would be nice to know what it was about specifically.
If I'm not mistaken it was invented in Lusitania (Modern day Portugal) back when the Romans conquered them and they were the ones first recorded using this tactic. What I'm saying is this tactic is very old yet very reliable if it managed to sustain 2,000 years and still be effective.
I remembered a month ago since I visited the WW2 exhibit at my university focusing only the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during that time... One thing I almost fascinated is the various guerilla units and their contributions that lead to victory until liberation.. The Tangcong Vaca unit of Naga City, Masbate Guerillas, a group led by late Mayor Lorenzo Padua, Ruperto Kangleon, and other Filipinos who continued the fight against the terrors of the Imperial Japanese Army despite all the odds... A big thanks to this song because not only the partisans of Europe led their resistance but also to the various guerilla fighters who paved their way for freedom..
One could argue Michael Collins was the father of modern guerrilla war, as after all many people whom intended to or did employ guerrilla warfare in the 20th century studied his leadership and tactics in the Irish war of independence, Lenin and Mao in particular studied Collins tactics and actions meticulously
I like Unbreakable a lot, actually? I love the bit where it picks up, personally, and it actually inspired a scene in my writing just the other day! ... In fact, if I link this around, I might be able to make some readers sweat about it trying to figure out what I'm up to... yes THE TIME FOR TALK HAS PASSED. THE LORD'S MISCHIEF MUST BE MADE-
I have already written it under many videos, but I'll do once again. NKVD were NOT SECRET. They were just police who were also tasked with counter-intelligence. In 1942 SMERSH was founded and overtook counter intelligence tasks, leaving NKVD with only civilian and military police tasks
My Great-Grandfather was shot in the neck and survived by the Germans in 1945, he was a Yugoslav Partizan. He was only 16 at the time and then lived on to 90.
I've wanted to do a music video of this song with the Burn Notice episode Fall of Sam Axe where the character ends up fighting corrupt officials alongside a group of farmers turned militants.
One of the first great guerrilla warriors of the modern age was the Great Abdelkrim al-Khattabi, who fought the Spanish and French in Rif (today's modern Morocco).
Mao's style of guerrilla warfare was to hang back and let the Nationalists do all the real fighting then swoop in when they were exhausted. Not exactly a guerrilla war success story.
my opinion of the song is that it isnt about a battle but about the russian soldiers behind the german lines making a stand by robbing their convoys by suprise for suplies and actuallie disturbing the german attack on russia.
For a really good example, you guys should check out, and maybe do a song on, the Belski Partisans during WWII. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielski_partisans

Sometimes the difference between terrorists and freedom fighters is who tells the story.
Facts
"A people should know when theyre conquered"
"Would you, Quintus? Would I?"
Sometimes? That is always the difference.
I mean to me, I would tell the difference between who they target.
An freedom fighting group that attacks military and strategic targets (Railways count as strategic targets even if they're used by civilians)
A terrorist group attacks civilians and civilian targets. They take hostages and they rob to sustain themselves.
But... alas this isn't something that other people follow.

I would love to see a vid about Inmate 4859

By any chance have you remembered what specific event this song was about? I've been making a playlist of all Sabaton World War 2 songs in chronological order and while it is vague enough that I can slap this song almost anywhere it would be nice to know what it was about specifically.
Just saw you guys yesterday in Montreal!!!! Best fucking show ever!!!!!
Privet! You were slightly mistaken: the NKVD was not the secret police, it was the police, the Soviet equivalent of the police.
If I'm not mistaken it was invented in Lusitania (Modern day Portugal) back when the Romans conquered them and they were the ones first recorded using this tactic. What I'm saying is this tactic is very old yet very reliable if it managed to sustain 2,000 years and still be effective.
Sabaton History Thank you for this interesting video, it's a great song🔥♥️🤘😁
Thanks, Erik! We appreciate the support!
One of if not the best Sabaton song
I remembered a month ago since I visited the WW2 exhibit at my university focusing only the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during that time... One thing I almost fascinated is the various guerilla units and their contributions that lead to victory until liberation..
The Tangcong Vaca unit of Naga City, Masbate Guerillas, a group led by late Mayor Lorenzo Padua, Ruperto Kangleon, and other Filipinos who continued the fight against the terrors of the Imperial Japanese Army despite all the odds...
A big thanks to this song because not only the partisans of Europe led their resistance but also to the various guerilla fighters who paved their way for freedom..
I'm going to have to keep this in mind for a book idea I've toyed with lately.
One could argue Michael Collins was the father of modern guerrilla war, as after all many people whom intended to or did employ guerrilla warfare in the 20th century studied his leadership and tactics in the Irish war of independence, Lenin and Mao in particular studied Collins tactics and actions meticulously
I like Unbreakable a lot, actually? I love the bit where it picks up, personally, and it actually inspired a scene in my writing just the other day!
... In fact, if I link this around, I might be able to make some readers sweat about it trying to figure out what I'm up to...
yes
THE TIME FOR TALK HAS PASSED. THE LORD'S MISCHIEF MUST BE MADE-
I always figured this song was about the concept of the ambush, not guerrilla warfare. Welp, today I learned something.
RELEASE THE BEAST!
I was honestly thinking the song was about the guerrilla warfare of the Vietnamese and Koreans
I have already written it under many videos, but I'll do once again. NKVD were NOT SECRET. They were just police who were also tasked with counter-intelligence. In 1942 SMERSH was founded and overtook counter intelligence tasks, leaving NKVD with only civilian and military police tasks
No mention of the Boers in the Anglo-Boer War? Small group of farmers against the full might of the British Empire
> small group of farmers against the full might of the british empire
I mean other than the "full might" this sounds just like the 'muricans
Please a song about the Guerrilla Warfare in the late stages of the Second Anglo-Boer war
My Great-Grandfather was shot in the neck and survived by the Germans in 1945, he was a Yugoslav Partizan. He was only 16 at the time and then lived on to 90.
The greatest mystery of all
Atlantis? Nope
Missing planes? Nah
The topic of one song? Yep
We need a video on shadows
I've wanted to do a music video of this song with the Burn Notice episode Fall of Sam Axe where the character ends up fighting corrupt officials alongside a group of farmers turned militants.
Please cover Inmate 4859
Whenever I hear this song I think of the Bartle of Teutoburg Forest
Thanks for the history lesson
Guerilla warfare is fascinating to me.
One of the first great guerrilla warriors of the modern age was the Great Abdelkrim al-Khattabi, who fought the Spanish and French in Rif (today's modern Morocco).
2:48 is that an actual person that got shot?
Mao's style of guerrilla warfare was to hang back and let the Nationalists do all the real fighting then swoop in when they were exhausted. Not exactly a guerrilla war success story.
Well it was a guerilla war when they actually fought, eventually.
Must say that when listening to the song I thought about Vietnam always...
It's so good. I love it!
Please make a episode about Inmate 4859!
"Siamo ribelli della montagna..."
Everybody gangsta til the hills look a bit Yugoslav
my opinion of the song is that it isnt about a battle but about the russian soldiers behind the german lines making a stand by robbing their convoys by suprise for suplies and actuallie disturbing the german attack on russia.
I'm more interested in that mug. The meme... it's a reality now.
For a really good example, you guys should check out, and maybe do a song on, the Belski Partisans during WWII. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielski_partisans

I just made something amazing and beautiful happen. I made the Like counter go 'off the charts' and forced it to represent our Likes using an abstract letter system based off of an ancient Greek numerical system. I can die happy now
