Yes, you're correct. Everything is based on true historical events. For every song they do research to get the historical facts right. Which you then also can see in their Sabaton history channel. One learns so much!
@@JoJoLewis Yeah, do so! You will learn so much! It's amazing
Not all of them are as some examples twilight of the thunder god and camouflage or the metal trilogy As the trilogy is a salute to some of biggest and best metal bands
JoJo: "I'm not gonna cry"
Every Sabaton Fan: "You just wait"
@@JoJoLewis Those damn ninjas... 😉
Exactly 😂😂 that's what I thought at that moment 😂
To your point about Stigler's family being lifetime fans, that isn't the only time that's happened to them.
"To Hell and Back" is a song about Audie Murphy; the most decorate American soldier of WW2 earning every available accolade for valor America has. After the war, Murphy went on to be a movie star and even played himself in a movie about WW2. He had numerous songs written about him but basically all country or folk songs. After Sabaton released their song; they were contacted by Murphy's son who expressed his appreciation that a band had released a hard rock/metal song about his father and also touching on an aspect of his father's life that other songs refused to acknowledge: his PTSD from the war.
Wow that is actually wild. Imagine having the legacy of your father immortalised like this and imagine being Sabaton getting this reaction multiple times.
And from my understanding, the ship captain in Bismarck is the son of one of the last survivors of the actual ship.
@@WaywardVet Final surviving direct child of the survivors.
Well interesting one Sabaton song Wolfpack is a little bit connected to my grandfather, The convoy he was in on the way to Europe was attacked by a U-boats and a ship was sunk in the attack
The honor they did to that family with this song is what blows my mind. Imagine, this is a story that would be known to family members and hard core military history buffs, but now milions of people all over the world know about this awesome story.
The Cross referred to is the Knights Cross, a German/Nazi military award. Had Stigler shot down Ye Olde Lub he would have qualified for the award. There is some really good information on line and on RUclips with the background story.
I’m enjoying your reactions. Keep up the good work!
Bru u beat me to it
Not a Nazi military award, the cross award is much older.
Some more info on this the knights cross is the most prestigious medal a German ace could be awarded
Also notice I said German ace and not Nazi ace, not every ww2 German soldier was a Nazi, as seen in this video.
Too add to tims Info, I don't know if you'll ever see this but regardless,
the German Merits for Valor go as such:
Iron Cross Second Class
Iron Cross First Class
Knights Cross
Knights Cross with Oakleaves
KC with Oakleaves and Swords
KC with O, S and Diamonds.
Soldiers awarded the Knights Cross were recognized as War Heroes across Germany and often given Audience with the Third Reichs High Command. Stigler threw away National Fame to save a batch of scared, young men no different than he 4 days before Christmas.
War brings out the worst in people, but yet still there are moments like this that showed Humanity was still within some of the men of that terrible war.
Knight cross is the iron cross, just renamed, but it was a Prussian military award
I love the fact the hero of the story is a German. We must not forget the horrors of WW2 but we also have to move on. Older colleagues I've had where regularly rude behind the backs of German colleagues born half a century after the events, which is really unfair.
And I think without exception these German colleagues and fellow students where far more knowledgeable about WW2 and the atrocities committed then the people criticising them. Plus I cant think of a nation who's shown more regret and atonement for their past sins, there are many countries who could take example from this.
@@JoJoLewis people tend to forget, the first country the Nazis invaded was their own. It's just sad reality that authoritarianism is an infestation that slowly grows until it's too late and it has a strangleholding forces people who want nothing to do into vile situations. As an American, I can say with confidence that is why freedom of speech is so critically important to so many of my fellow countrymen, as is the concept of freedom, and it's something they are so fervently passionate about. I know it seems odd to many, the zeal that some hold for it, but I think these are people who are just incredibly aware of history and took the lessons to heart very deeply. There are certainly worse things that one could be so passionate about.
This is why I love No Bullets Fly and The Last Battle. I love it when the Germans are portrayed as good, because there were good people amongst them and of course not all who followed the Nazi ideology. A lot of them just fighting for their country. Of course they commited atrocities like any war party does, maybe they did it more, but people tend to forget how we quickly we as humans get desensitized and that's what war does to people. We shouldn't forget the bad, but damn that we also shouldn't forget the good when times were that bad.
Thanks for your kind words
Send goodbye to the cross he deserved: this German pilot who spared their lives was 3 shot downs before being award the iron cross of the fighter pilots "edition", if he had shot down that bomber he would reach 25 take downs, thus earning the cross, so by sparing them he kinda refused the award
The basis of this song is a book called "A Higher Call" - I finished that book towards the end of a 5h flight and I was in tears, to the point a cabin crew member asked if I was ok. Yes, I was ok - the final pages of the book detail how Charlie, his surviving flight crew and their families and descendants surrounded and hugged Franz. Because Franz did not pull the trigger that day, multiple generations of sons, daughters, and grandchildren had the chance to live.
I remember seeing a part of a documentary about this story right here on youtube a while ago. In it, they showed that the families of the B-17's crew held a banquet with Oberleutnant Stigler as the guest of honour, and they put on a slideshow of photos not only of the crew themselves, but of the crew's children and grandchildren and everyone alive specifically because Herr Stigler decided to spare the bomber.
In another video on the subject, they've got interviews with Stigler and the surviving crew members, and at one point the interviewer asks one of the bomber crew what he owes to Herr Stigler, to which the crewman just barely manages to say "My life." before breaking down.
If this isn't wholesome, then I don't know what is.
Oh damn im bout to go looking for that!
Imagine how cool it would be to be a kid right now and to have a song about your grandfather or even great grandfather and how he spared and saved an entire bomber crew. Like.. Not only is he an Ace.. Nah, he also did THAT.. AND has a song now.
This is one of those stories that just blows your mind. There's no way the crew should have survived what they did, the way the did. But survive they did.
Not only a great song, but also a very touching story. I think it's a wonderful example of human kindness and courage.
@@JoJoLewis There are a lot of honest people all over the world, but not many in today's mainstream media, unfortunatelly. You and your reactions are amazing! So genuine! Thank you! Subscribed :)
A similar story, "The Last Battle," about the Battle of Castle Itter. Basically, a German commander named Josef Gangl teamed up with the US Army to protect some French political prisoners from Nazi SS trying to kill them. Sadly, Gangl was killed in the fight. There's a video on the Sabaton History channel.
I really appreciate the respect you always show in your reactions. Also, you may be young, but the understanding of the stories and their emotional impact on you are definitely mature. Stay safe and keep on doing what you do so well.
Finally! I have been looking forward to this one. "It's not gonna make me cry like the others".. Oh, you just wait, this one gets everyone. :)
Oh boy, does it ever. Looking up footage of Charlie and Franz together (should be some on RUclips) is every bit as emotional.
Hit me like an absolute truck
Watching people react to this song.. makes me tear up almost before the song starts
I'm fairly certain this has been pointed out before, but I feel like this need to be said:
Franz did say that the reason he didn't shoot down Ye Olde Pub was because he was told by his commander that if he heard that his pilots were shooting at parachuting enemies he would shoot the pilots himself and Franz saw the Pub as a faulty parachute. Still this is a very heartwarming story where people of opposite sides cooperate for a good cause. Like in the Sabaton song "The Last Battle" where Americans fight alongside German defectors (I think from the Wehrmact) against SS troops
+ he said it himself, that it was the first time he actually saw people, not just the plane. You usually just shot at the plane and this time he didn't because they didn't fire at him and he got curious and went to take a closer look. Then he decided he couldn't do it. It's fascinating because he did shoot down two planes that day. I have nothing but respect for Franz Stigler. He really did something many wouldn't dare.
Great reaction! I agree that this is one of those wholesome stories that give you renewed hope in humanity.
9:13 will not cry like I did in the other songs ...... 11:27 and ninjas start cutting onions again. Excellent reaction, keep up the good work! greetings from Sweden
I remember an interview with Franz where he explains that they're trained to hit planes, and not think of them as anything but metal things to shoot down, as that makes it easier. When he was lining up the shot on the B17, he saw the tail-gunner bleeding profusely and couldn't do it.
He tried to get them to land in Germany and surrender, but Charlie refused. He tried to get them to turn towards neutral airspace but Charlie refused again. So, Franz decided to escort them to safety, flying close enough so that ground weapons couldn't shoot, for fear of hitting him too. What a guy!!
Definitely look up photos of Ye Olde Pub. The damage is NOT exaggerated here! It's insane it made it home! They don't call them Flying Fortresses for no reason!
This song always gets to me, makes my tears flow freely, unabated, and having had a grandfather that was in WW2 speaks volumes to me. Enjoyed the video.
greetings from germany again....as i expected..awesome reaction....thanks alot ...its 8 o´clock in the morning here and you made my day.....maybe now the next animated video "Night Witches"....thanx again and peace, buddy
@@JoJoLewis and you dont know how much this means to me..serious.....its a pleasure to ride this ride with you......40:1 ?..great...i hope it will be the live one from the woodstock festival....its in Poland
...250´000 headbangers....the organizer of this festival was forced to change the name. By this shitty polish government. Because this kind man was supporting and promote tolerance to LGBt+ community.....its now called the ´POL´and´ROCK festival..
My grandfather was from Poland...and he was luckywise a kindly man..very open minded, tolerant.......thanx again, my friend....PEACE & PRIDE 🌈🏳🌈✌🤘💚
@@stefanstock953 They were forced to change the name NOT by the "s.. Polish government" but because of the rights to the American name of the festival - Woodstock. J. Owsiak - the manager of the festival said:
"At the beginning of 2018, the American agency dealing with the rights to the name "Woodstock" demanded from the Polish organizers a fee for its further use. Therefore, the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity decided to change it."
Jerzy Owsiak issued an official statement in which he informed the fans of the Woodstock Festival that this year in Kostrzyn nad Odrą they would have fun at the same event, but under a different name, Pol'and'Rock Festival.
If you liked no bullets fly i highly reccomend The Last Battle, it has a similar story of enemies joining together. Hearts Of Iron would be another good one. Both are great stories of humanity in war.
One thing to ad regarding to the knight cross is that those who got the reward also got to relocate away from the frontlines of war as somewhat of a war hero
The knight cross for valor. A very high German award. The more kills the better at the knights cross. A very short burst from his guns would have easily destroyed the wounded bomber. Btw, the bomber was truly helpless
Thanks for LOTR- mention =).
Greetings from Finland.
Of course. I absolutely love LOTR!
My wife just seen this reaction with me
Logged in and subbed as well
This channel has a lot of potential to grow
Thanks for an amazing reaction
@@JoJoLewis
Your honest opinion and the way you react is amazing. Thank you for your reactions. We appreciate it. Hope you keep building up and staying safe. Happy Thanksgiving.
Franz Stigler was invited to a reunion for the Bomber group several times and one of the first times, Stigler was looking out on a crowd of people and Stigler said he felt that he shouldn't be there and Charlie took his arm and told him that the people in the crowd were the children and grandchildren of the men that he saved that day.
The Cross he's talking about is the Knights Cross, Nazi Germany's highest military award. Pretty much like the Medal of Honor in the US. I believe he only needed to shoot down one more plane to be awarded the Knights Cross, but he didn't.
Also.. They didn't really spare him.. They would've totally opened fire on him if they could, but due to the -60°C wind that was blowing through the plane, the guns were frozen. Like.. Frozen solid.
Another interesting thing: Like Mr. Brown said in the video, he told Franz in a letter that he surely must've been shot down many times before. He was, about 17 in total. He did shoot down 28 allied aircraft though.
He also flew the infamous Messerschmitt Me 262, the world's first "figher jet" or "jet aircraft" near the end of the war, around 1944 or 1945 I believe.
@@JoJoLewis I believe, he's reading a lot of history books... :-)
9:08 "It's not gonna make me cry like the other shit has"
Knowing what comes next, this made me chuckle :)
Awesome reaction overall. I've lost count over how many times I've seen people react to this song and it STILL gets me misty eyed at the end. It's such a beautiful story, people being their best selves at the hardest of times.
When you ask us questions like whats the iron cross, obviously we're happy to help you out but really do check out the Sabaton History channel. Not because we dont want to talk to you about this stuff but because you'd genuinely enjoy it so we'd be robbing you of the experience if we just type out the info
@@JoJoLewis there is a new Sabaton album on the way (ww1 themed like the last one) and idk if im more excited for the music or the history episodes
@@JoJoLewis march 4th, its going to be an agonisingly long wait
@@JoJoLewis Christmas Truce is the first single from the upcoming album, but you shouldnt worry about the wait, you have 8 albums worth of music to explore untill then
It has been an ages since I have heard this story, need to listen to Sabaton more.
The clips used at the end of the video were from a documentary made in the early 90s about the incident and the 2 pilots. You have to watch it, since it has more information, especially from the full interviews. Stigler has a scar on his forehead from being shot by a B17 tailgunner, which he said he feared the most about the bomber. Sad fact: after the documentary aired, many people in Canada wanted to have him deported back to Germany and were calling him a Nazi, while many German people call him a traitor to this day.
Oh man that is honestly so bad. Idk I feel like he should be accepted in Germany as a hero.
I think sabaton is a great band for rap fans. at least ones who enjoy storytelling. glad to see I'm not the only one.
Yeah im really big into the story telling of rap and sabaton is such a good band for me to scratch that itch when listening to this music
There was only one reaction channels I enjoy very much. Elizabeth Zarhoff aka "The Charismatic Voice" and now I can add your channel aswell. :) Keep em coming.
hi my grandpa was a german soldier at ww2 . he was captured by the allies (USA). The first thing he noticed was an american soldier in a sherman tank . The american soldier gave him his hand and asked him if he wants a chewing gum :) . merry christmas to all . sry 4 my bad english im not a native speaker . god bless u all .
youre heart is on the right spot . never lose that ;)
"Noticed a huge hole in the wing". "Shit"
the most warthunder player accurate reaction to that lol, loving the reactions!
Usually in these comment sections I see some obligatory comments that I've missed so far.
There's a book called: A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry, about Franz and Charlie you can read if you want to learn more.
The most mentioned part off this is that Franz actually had flown many missions but refused to kill parachuting or crashing pilots while other countries did not share this tactic.
His original instructor had told him that if said instructor ever heard off his cadets "murdering" parachuting enemies he would find them and kill them himself. Which is the reference to "Fighting fair, is the code of the air"
EDIT: Almost forgot!
One of the reasons for why the atlantic wall didn't fire (The strongest air defence in the world at the time that the plane had to travel across) was not only because they could risk friendly fire.
But because Germany actually re-used some enemy aircrafts if they were in decent condition. To differentiate these planes they were often escorted by german pilots for missions. Something Stigler took full advantage off! To the ground troops it looked like a stolen, damaged plane being escorted.
@@JoJoLewis As a Swedish person with both swedish great grandparent who joined finland and fought against russia in the winter war, and american grandparent who was in ww2, I love Sabaton to death.
I highly recommend reading or listening to the book about this event. I'm sure it's been mentioned before but wow. Such a good book.
Great reaction as usual, keep em coming! :-)
9:52 he needed to shoot down 1 more bomber then he would have earned the knights cross
The pilots are awarded medals for shooting down bombers or other fighter planes. If Stigler had shot down that B-17 he would have been awarded the Knights Cross. So since he didn't he basically kissed it goodbye. Thats why it says "said goodbye to the cross he deserved."
This song is what made me like the B-17, such a great plane.
Yeah, these kind of war stories are the ones I really enjoy as well. The true examples of humanity in the wars!
Franz Stigler explained in on of the interviews, that his former Squadron Leader told every Pilot, that if he will ever gets aware that one of his Pilots shoots at Parachutes, he will shoot the one himself. Stigler saw the hardly flying B-17 as their Parachute the get out alive
One cool thing with Sabaton is that if you take one of their songs and create a good video that follow the song and help to tell the story they gonna promote that video and be very happy
Oh wow Thats actually really cool! Sabaton are awesome!!!
Nice video again, hope to see your channel keep growing! If you're liking their big music videos then Night Witches also has an animated video. Bismarck, Screaming Eagles, Defense of Moscow, and Steel Commanders all have good videos as well.
Sabaton has a ton of awesome songs. I recommend my favorites: Bismark, Great War, Night Witches, Primo Victoria, Panzerkampf, The Final Solution, Uprising, The Royal Guard, and The Last Stand. Their albums are best listened in order especially Carolus Rex cause of the story but listening randomly is perfectly fine. They also have a channel for covering the history of each of their songs.
@@JoJoLewis Thanks! I hope you enjoy the music!
@@JoJoLewis the song focuses on the ship itself so it doesn’t hit upon a lot of the ships history, but it is still one of the most famous ships out there, especially since it only had one mission ever.
There is a book and painting based on this story, too. Both titled "A Higher Call".
Had to throw a subscription down after i saw the En Livstid reaction and your follow up is No Bullets Fly... Perfect. I also recommend checking out the Sabaton history video for this song. Stigler moved to Canada and while living in Canada he would receive letters from Germany calling him a traitor and harassing him. Also Canadians would harass him calling him a Nazi. Incredible story. Keep up the good work man.
YES!!!! Check out more sabaton! Coat of arms or art of war or screaming eagles
Loved your reaction, man. I'm looking forward to many more Sabaton reaction videos
6:34 What they mean by "He risked his life two times that day" is the risk of war itself and the risk of a death penalty for helping Charley.
I shed a tear everytime I watch this video. Arrived here for some Nightwish, I'm so happy you try Sabaton ! Thanks ! I suscribed yesterday, and that's a super first video since subscribing ^^
@@JoJoLewis I was going te answer "Epica with Floor Jansen" and then discover your video at the same time ! Happy breakfast to me ;-)
May I suggest Nightwish "Story of myself" from Wacken 2013 or Epica "consign to Oblivion" live in Paris ?
During the war a British tank crew were operating a tank called the Cromwell named after Oliver Cromwell (a unimportant figure In British history)
And so basically they and Three other tanks were roaming around In Germany until they encountered a German ambush where a German PAK40 shot their tank, now normally the shell would have penetrated the tank turning the crew inside into pulp however there was and I kid you not a massive bulge in the tank and ironically after the battle they found out that they were given training tanks instead of actually combat tanks, where they were used for training the crew and were fully operational but had much much thinner armor and the crew survived.
There is a actual photograph of Ye Olde Pub after this happened and my god it is a miracle it was able to fly anywhere.
If you listen to a Sabaton song, it’s true.. always..
I feel like that’s what makes them so special
the story behind the song is incredibly inspiring. What pissed me off,.. After the story broke world wide. Franz Stigler ( The German Pilot ) started receiving hate mail and death threats from people all over. Humanity still has a long way to go it seems.
@@JoJoLewis because he was a German Soldier. That's all the people needed to have a target for hatred and stupidity.
@@JoJoLewis Agreed. Small minded people always looking for an excuse to hate
If you have not seen them yet, then I suggest,.. " Primo Victoria " , " Bismarck " and " Steel Commanders " . All three of those videos were produced with the assistance of the video game company WarGaming. ( They put out the games World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes ) Also give a listen to Night Witches ( Another Animated Story Video from Yarn Hub. I highly recommend it ) Shiroyama , Sparta, and Metal Ripper are also good ones in my opinion.
6:39 Sabaton says twice, but it's closer to 3 times, actually.
1) when he came close to the US bomber, he could have been shot down very easily
2) he escorted the US bomber over the "atlantic wall", where there are a lot of anti-aircraft flak cannons. He gambled that the cannon crew would not shoot if they identified his plane as a a german plane, but there was still the risk that they would misidentified his Bf-109, or that they would shoot anyway by seeing the much bigger silhouette of the B-17 bomber...
3) if what he did had been discovered, he would have likely been executed by firing squad for helping an enemy
U need to check out fields of Verdun and attack of the dead men also their history channel
Yes, he definitely needs to check out all of your suggestions😊👍
Highly recommended Higher Call
If you want fast paced, you should definitely try their song about Red Baron!
@@JoJoLewis also, rule of thumb when it comes to Sabaton is that their music videos will always be high quality, like watching a short film rather than just a music video. Their lyric videos will always come with historical facts explaining the the theme of the song, and their live performances are always amazing, with so much energy and personality from this band, and a scene show like few other bands!
When it comes to The Red Baron I'd recommend the live at Berlin, it's sick!
Ayy I rly like ur sabaton reactions
U should react to the songs
The final solution
Shiroyama
The last stand
Hearts of iron
Wolfpack
Every song of them is amazing, but they are one of my favs so it would be cool to see ur reaction!
Hey m8 just found ya channel and enjoying it. Definitly gotta do Bismark, Defence of Moscow, 82nd all the way, Screaming eagles, 40:1, Uprising, The Ballad of Bull. There are many more but to make a album reactions will be best mate. Keep it up m8.
They earned a family of fans bro you need to watch 40:1 live in Poland they earned a nation of fans with that song the highest priest in Poland presented then with an ancient sword from the church's vaults which once belonged to a polish hero for writing that song about the Polish Spartans.
Oh so many excellent videos and so many emotions Sabaton can conjure, they are a great band. And live even more so, where they can goof around on stage and engage with the audience.
Also, give sabaton History a watch to learn more about the actual history and also some Sabaton trivia.
@@JoJoLewis Indy Neidell, the narrator of Sabaton History, also has a big show about WW1 and WW2, covering them on a weekly basis.
He also appears in the video for Seven Pillars of Wisdom where he plays Lawrence of Arabia.
So for the line "the cross his deserved" is to the fact that the German pilot was one bomber kill away from gettin awarded the nights cross witch German pilots got for getting 30 points a fighter being worth 1 and a bomber being worth 3 Franz had 27 points
His commanding officer taught Franz to never attack a defenceless enemy because if he did the commander would beat the shit out of him if he was alive or Haunt him if he was dead
I mean hay man whenever you do one of sabaton's song I'll probably have some information like this if u ask for it
Check out Night Witches next. Both the animated story and the Live performance from The Great Tour. Amazing
@@JoJoLewis that Collab got released in 2018 (time flies!)
Fun fact, MaSu were one of, if not THE, first artist to put up a whole album for free download on their website. They recorded a live DVD from their performance at Assembly (Finland's 'Dreamhack'). When it was time to release, the band uploaded it to the pirate bay themselves. In case you don't want to, can or are unsure about buying it, here it is, but it after if you like it, see us live and buy or merch please, they essentially wrote. Only thing was, they forgot to tell the record label of this plan 😂 the suits weren't very happy lol
Carloeans prayer is good song by sabaton too
Sabaton are Great make Great music aboute history of wars.
"I am not going to cry like the other sh....." Says you.
"Just wait!" I said to myself.
As for the Cross... the Knights Cross. Had Franz Stiigler shot down the plane he would have shot down enough planes to earn the Knights Cross, one of the most prestigious medals the German military gives.
@@JoJoLewis It is a great story.. unfortunately not all positive. After the sotry came out some German's viewed him as a traitor, while some of his Canadian neighbours called him a Nazi.
Apparently his commander said "if you shoot down anyone parachuting then I will shoot you myself." Based on the state the plane was in, Stigler interpreted his commanders position as that the plane as effectively shot down and everyone onboard were effectively parachuting.
By far, my favorite Sabaton song, and the one I can most relate to.
I live near Bremen (the place they bombed) and Oldenburg (where they almost crashed),
and one of my Opas (Grandpa) was a AA-gunner at the Atlantikwall, in the Netherlands.
I wonder if he saw a BF-109 escorting a B-17?
Great reaction.
@@JoJoLewis And being bombed of cause. My Grandma told me a lot of bunker storys.
fun fact: the current drummer, Hannes Van Dahl, is Floor's husband (Floor Jansen, Nightwish's valk... i mean... vocalist)
A december birthday eh? Me too, mine is on the 5th, consider me subbed my dude, great reaction, and great channel, keep up the good work.
Five finger death punch, when the seasons change, the music video is a tear jerker, as is their vid on remember everything
Thank you, i look forward to it!
You need to check out the Sabaton History video on this song, going into much more detail about the whole event and what happened.
say good bye to your medal, that is the cross
The cross they're refering to is the Knights cross, a German war medal similar to the Iron Cross.
This particular German fighter pilot would most likely have won this Knights cross had he shot down the B-17 he helped escort home, thereby commiting treason against the German reich and he would most likely have been executed had anyone found out... and so by helping the Brits home he "said goodbye to the cross he deserved"
@@JoJoLewis, Yes... I suppose so. At least during the war... had Stiegler said something about it back then, he would for sure have been shot.
"The cross he deserved" means. He was eligible for the Knights cross with one more B17 shoot down. So if he had shoot them down he would have been decorated with the Knights cross.
Oh damn. I’m glad he chose to save some lives over getting the reward
So when he said this video won't make me cry, anyone else thought "Not yet but just wait" :)
Hey mate just stumbled across your videos today and I think you should react to Cliffs of Gallipoli, especially since ANZAC Day was this week
You have to react to Sabaton, Nightwitches ( Animated story ) Again with Sabaton its another true story this time about a squadron of Soviet female bombers.
There is a book, a higher call, well worth a read re. the topic
I’m not gonna cry he claims at 9:18 *me waiting for the ending to hit him, giggling* you say that now but..
Not sure what more perspective it adds to the story, but while he was in training, Stigler was told by his commanding officer “If I ever see or hear of you shooting at a man in a parachute, I will shoot you myself. You follow the rules of war for you, not for your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity.” After the war Stigler said that “To me, it was just like they were in a parachute. I saw them and I couldn’t shoot them down.".
Oh, and if this is the kind of story that you like, check out The Last Battle by Sabaton, its about how a group of Germans released the French prisoners they were guarding at Castle Itter, and sent word to a nearby American company for help in fighting off a Waffen SS regiment that were sent to execute the French prisoners, and won the battle. Another great story about people holding onto their morals and humanity.
FUCK YEA LETS GOOOOO
Imagine sparing let alone save someone who’s probably killed you’re friends, family and the ones you know, because for all he knew they could have blown up the factory that his parents worked in? Bunt unfortunately such is the nature of war that the ones who suffer the most are the innocent and bystanders such as the blitz, or the firestorms all over Germany or the siege of Stalin and Lenin grad
You should react also to Night Witches animated story video. Do a double reaction with the live performance at Leipzig which is very epic, and Joakim, the singer, did something fun and badass at the end, I can't spoil that man, you shouldn't miss it.
"This story won't make me cry"
Me: Waiting for it 😏
The cross he deserved they are referencing the knights cross the german medal of honor in the time
ohhhh Thank you!!!!
Have you seen Sabatons animated "Nightwtches " yet? New amazing story from another part of the world...,but with the same amazing storytelling and music to match it up!
the cross refers to the iron cross medal. Stigler could have gotten the iron cross if he shot down the plane.
@@JoJoLewis Welcome to sabaton family !
hans need one more kill for the flying cross
i like to think he recognised the english pilots and crew for what they were at that time. a WIA, trying to crawl back to base. essentially, a non combatant.. just some scared young men, trygin to survive something that was so out of their control it was a foolish thing to even attempt. and yet, the human drive for self preservation led them to attempt. in a plane that, by all accounts and logic, should not have been able to stay in the air.
who can bring themselves to kill a man in such a state?
"It's not gonna made me cry"
Ending: About that...
