- In this video, I'll be doing a deep dive into the Sabaton Song "Panzer Battalion". I'll start with a fan made lyric video, followed by a live performance at Woodstock. Then I'll finish out the video with the Sabaton history lesson.

Cool song musically, but yes the lyrics are more crude and basic than their later works. To be expected though as it was their 1st time exploring such lyrical themes. Also they have since stated that they won't do songs about recent conflicts again as it takes a long time for full accurate reports and stories from both sides, to be available for research and to get a full, fair overview of conflicts.
These lyrics are very unique among sabaton and I love them sounds so brutal
Look up there old song "In the name of God" And then watch the history video, its Very,very Interesting.
Oh this is a really old song before the tones changed. It’s a really stark difference between this and Christmas truce.
I’ll definitely rather listen to Panzer Battalion than Christmas Truce.
This is their first ever written historical song so yeah but I with Hellfighters they still have some of this old tone going on and I love it.
If you say "pair" instead of "par" you'll get a lot closer to Pärs name. :)
Or, just round your lips and say e as in dress. It's not exactly the same but it comes close.
@@xiuhwho As a swede I would go for the "Pair" advice. Just sayin'. Per/Pär is a very common name here.
good tip as the A with umlaut sounds like the english word air
This song was written within a couple years of the events it's based on, and I was ten when they released it. It's a little hard to wrap my head around because I'm so used to their songs being about events that are a bit more established and complete.
This was thier first ever song about History and War, written in 2003
Death in the shape of handsome italian
Lol
I hate you so much right now 😅
I mean you are right but...
Im never gonna unhear that now
Stolen but yeah its funny
*death in the shape of a hamster named Malcolm
Thanks for giving it a watch, I think this one is a track that doesn't get as much (at least from what I've seen) attention from reactors, even though it's a much more recent historic event that is still impacting people today. Aside from that, as a song I love it, it feels how a song about driving into enemy territory with overwhelming firepower SHOULD feel.
If you want a good series that covers the Iraq Invasion and gives a good first person look into the first month, I’d check out HBO’s 7 part series Generation Kill. Many consider it the 3rd part to the Band of Brothers & Pacific Series (even tho it released in 2007 3 years before the Pacific) it follows in the same fashion with proper real accounts and following the real story of the men apart of the 1st USMC Recon Battalion.
Again I’d definitely check it out as many Iraq war vets conclude it’s pretty much the most accurate portrayal of the Iraq invasion and war we have
Thanks for this info, might check it out. As I never really have inspected how Iraq War proceeded.
By and large you can't justifiably accuse them of glorifying war I wouldn't say but this song in particular is arguably doing so. It's cool and all but it's not as good message-wise as their later work. Tonally it's wildly different than later songs and entire albums as well. The leap from this to a song like their second to last single Christmas Truce is massive for instance.
The use of dehumanizing language isn't present in later lyrics either ("Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a man", "Driving the animals out of their holes to bury them six feet below").
I see what you are saying.
They did use napalm in the Gulf War, but a military spokesman stated that is wasn't used against Iraqi troops.
Apparently it was used to destroy oil-filled treches set up to stop the ground forces.
(Not sure if it was used during Desert storm tho)
Please check out Sabaton - White Death.
It's about the deadliest sniper ever lived.
Will do
I think Carloeans Prayer (the English Version) is one of the most underrated songs from sabaton, together with Soldier of 3 armies and A Ghost in the Trenches
En Livstid i Krig
"This time we're here to finish a job, started a decade ago" Oh boy this song didn't age well.
Oof size: large
I think it meant more of toppling the dictator of Sudam Hussain.
I was born on the 18th of March 2003 so this invasion is interesting to me since I was born as it started.🤔
Depending on how old you are, you might have been alive for the events of "Back in Control," which is about the Falklands War in 1982
Actually, Reign of Terror is also pretty recent
"Panzer Battalion" ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥👍👍
I remember seeing that video of the little boy chasing after the statue's head and hitting it with both his sandals. Cute.
Good ol’ classic Sabaton. Wish they’d go hard like this some day again
I didnt realize this was the breakthrough song for Sabaton, to start deal with war as topic, well now i know, thanks..
It also stand clear to me with this war, how everthing was put right in your face on tv, seing the war as it happens live, well im sure they did have a little delay on it somehow, but still very much as it happens..
Thanks for your own experience how it was for you the Iraq war. It's interesting how close this war was with the song, almost not historical war song at all, but present war song.
They did in fact use napalm in operation Iraqi freedom, the pentagon denied it but Marine pilots confirmed that they used napalm
That's crazy
@@TouchyReactions Props to you for responding to a comment on a 2 year old video
@Im_Just_Some_Random_Dude I love following the comments. I learn so much from them.
2:26/2:38 there's nothing like watching British Warrior IFVs charging across a desert.
oh no, thank you very much, for all you do...
My pleasure!
I operate one of these beauties
i would sooo love to go to Woodstock in Poland and be part of a crowd like this..... would so make my day....
Me too, epic atmosphere
I didn't realize the Ba'ath party was in Iraq. Ba'athists are across the middle east and other Arab countries and believe in a single socialist left-wing state. Syria is also a Ba'ath party country. So being a leftist myself I am going to look into the party more and not read right wing and liberal US propaganda about the invasion but from an Arab perspective.
😎🤙🙌
One of my favourite songs I'm Ex British army royal armoured corps was part of tank crew (gunner) seen action twice so seeing clips rolling through the sand and opening fire almost nostalgic for me
Please react to *Hearts of Iron*
It’s related to *Attero Dominatus*
I've done it already. It's over on Patreon right now
@@TouchyReactions Oh alright, any chance you’ll post it here later on? Or is it always going to be strictly Patreon?
Felt the same as you after the first listen about the song. Didnt really understand the lyrics talking about people (I guess?) as insects and vermin. Seems wierd for being Sabaton.
Referring to Saddam and his cronies that way seems appropriate, though.
@@brigidtheirish Agree.
@@brigidtheirish Kinda but they didn't refer to the Germans in WW2 like that its a little jarring
@@brigidtheirish "Saddam and his cronies" I wonder who put Saddam in power, oh wait it was US.
70 years of careful planning, everything is going just as PLANNED
@@jacksmith-vs4ct The Germans, no, but they did have some choice words to describe Hitler.
There is no soul behind the music like in Sabatons past peaces, its a good song with a good story but no power.
Fix your ears
@@NothingwrongwithmeitsaYOU it is a personal opinion, I meant no offence to you. Opinions are not meant to be taken so harshly, I apologize if you were so offended.
Musically speaking, this one doesn't do it for me at all. It has a very generic feel, and I don't feel the passion in it. That said, the live is definitely improved - as has Joakim's voice, that's a big one - since the album recording.
i knew that US GIs sometimes tend to use german words, like the famous Flak, but Panzer? Big Red One was based here since ´45, but this is new ;)
