Imagine if the Nazis had to contend with this man. Throw him, doss, the bear, and the unkillable soldier in a unit and just point in the direction of Berlin.
I am French, and I knew this story. Albert Roche is undoubtedly one of the greatest heroes of modern history, and we should study him much more, it is this type of French hero like Albert Roche or Jean Moulin who makes me proud of my country, the France
Reminds me of Chris Kyle, did hard time in the military and fought hard for his country, but died on home soil. Outstanding story. I had been wondering who it was about since I heard it.
''There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Now, some people prefer to believe that evil doesn’t exist in the world…those are the sheep. And then you got predators who use violence to prey on the weak. They’re the wolves. And then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of aggression, and the overpowering need to protect the flock. These men are the rare breed that live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs.'' Chris' father
I think it's become a sort of custom to begin including the band members in the animated history videos for Sabaton's songs. I spotted Joakim in the trench at 3:08, I'm pretty sure that it was supposed to be Pär cleaning his rifle at 3:29, Chris and Hannes are standing side by side at 10:47, and as the camera pans on, Tommy is revealed to be standing next to Hannes, roughly at the 10:50 mark.
In terms of "unknown stories", it's funny how you already make a much better "Battlefield 1" game than the game itself. You have already given us a Serbian Campaign with "Lady of the Dark", a French Campaign with "The First Soldier", or a Canadian Campaign with "A Ghost In The Trenches".
Bonjour Sabaton! German salutes to the French hero! Because we Germans and French are nowadays brothers, he's also a German hero for bravery. 😘♥ Merci Sabaton & Yarnhub!
I have seen all of the Sabaton animated history videos so far. They even introduced me to my favorite Sabaton song, No Bullets Fly. But this is undeniably the best animated history video yet.
These animated stories makes me wanna cry everytime i watch one of them. Its such a good job of portraying events that have been ''forgotten'' by history and by now, thanks to Sabaton's music and Yarnhub's animation and storytelling, will live on forever!
@@Cancoillotteman they announced around december that, with the help of yarn hub, they will make a movie to tell all the histories of the songs they made about ww1.

as far as i know long after the war he had, as a firefighter an ... encounter with a truck after wich a certain austrian painter had his underlings check... multiple times that the albert roche that died was indeed THE ALBERT ROCHE
there's a channel dedicated to these unknown stories, from all nations (albeit with a humoristic take). No audio, only text in french, but subtittles available ;7 Le petit theatre des opérations, from Odieux Connard (yes, that's th channel name)
Car nos élites corrompues détestent la France, ce sont des traitres à la nation. Il faut que ce soit des anglo-saxons qui racontent nos heros, la honte.
This is amazing, thanks for the effort, but gotta be honest the french version with the original narrator had a special touch, still love both versions
As i'd like to say: He didn't come there for bullying, he came there to fight. A Sabaton classic, that always gives tears of happiness. Go Albert! Vive la France!

He died like this? That reminds me of one of our WW2 heroes from Greece. Milton's Iatridis. He was the captain of the Papanikolis submarine that managed to sink three Italian ships during the Greco Italian War but was killed in a car accident in 1960.
UNbelivable. Not just the Animation, that looks better then ever, alos the story telling. Guys, very good work. I´m looking forward to see you in April in Frankfurt :)
Albert being killed in a car accident kind of felt like God's way of saying "You've done your duty and endured, time for a long rest, no need to endure the second hell that awaits."
Imagine if he had lived long enough to participate in the Greater War; there's a German officer sitting in his bunker, older but not yet withered, looking at an inteligence list of positions lost and men captured. He asks "how many crack companies have the French been keeping in reserve?" His inteligence department reports most if not all the credit goes to one man. The officer scoffs outwardly, though internally he is begining to have flashbacks, and desperately pours over the reports, hoping he's wrong. Then he sees a name, a very FAMILIAR name, and suddenly he's scrambling for the door, the nearest alcohol cabinet, or both, screaming "not zis glorious bastard again!"
You see things like this Even today. People who are volenteers and short still not geting the chanse to prove them self. Its not before war comes when people see that why people like him is needed. I feel myself in line with this guys story. Short But Volenteer and got denied. Still Even today and it have gone 5 years now sence then. I still havent laid down my gun or my duty. Trying to fill in the void with other things. As partly a Soldier today i have learnd to despise the system. When we can train and prepare you hide your head in the sand neglecting the fact of the dangure. when the bombs starta falling then they expect people to stand up. Fricking burecratic way to think. As always sabaton is amazing digging up this storys. I hope they never end.
This song is AWESOME!!!! LOVE THIS!!! The chord progressions are great, that use of "drone" and chant, the voicing of the chords ( interval positioning) the solo, this is MASTER MUSICIANSHIP at it's finest!!! These guys are GREAT songwriters, great composers, great musicians, NICE people, and AMAZING PERFORMERS!!! Every good thing that happens to this band is WELL deserved, no lie. ( and thank you for that 24/7 Sabaton stream you just posted. I haven't slept in two days), hahahahaha. Singing songs, learning to play the guitar solos ( I've pretty much got the Christmas Truce down, and almost there with Dreadnought and Bismarck).

Wait How Did You Comment 3 days Ago The Video Was released a few minutes ago
Good video
Imagine if the Nazis had to contend with this man. Throw him, doss, the bear, and the unkillable soldier in a unit and just point in the direction of Berlin.
@@carolusrex7627 the video became public then. Creators have access to their stuff when they upload it not when we see it.
If Albert hadn't been hit by that car, WW II would've been a lot shorter!
I am French, and I knew this story.
Albert Roche is undoubtedly one of the greatest heroes of modern history, and we should study him much more, it is this type of French hero like Albert Roche or Jean Moulin who makes me proud of my country, the France
D'accord avec vous. Ils étaient de grands hommes.
I think out of all of the National anthems on Earth, the French one is the only that makes me smile. So dark, yet very well earned.
Reminds me of Chris Kyle, did hard time in the military and fought hard for his country, but died on home soil. Outstanding story. I had been wondering who it was about since I heard it.
''There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Now, some people prefer to believe that evil doesn’t exist in the world…those are the sheep. And then you got predators who use violence to prey on the weak. They’re the wolves. And then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of aggression, and the overpowering need to protect the flock. These men are the rare breed that live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs.'' Chris' father
I am so glad that you guys created an English version because I watched the original French one with English subtitles.
I think it's become a sort of custom to begin including the band members in the animated history videos for Sabaton's songs. I spotted Joakim in the trench at 3:08, I'm pretty sure that it was supposed to be Pär cleaning his rifle at 3:29, Chris and Hannes are standing side by side at 10:47, and as the camera pans on, Tommy is revealed to be standing next to Hannes, roughly at the 10:50 mark.
I saw that too and was going to post! 😀

@@JoeMama-hi2yr Unlikely. The Red Baron was a dogfighter, air to air combat.

@@JoeMama-hi2yr Dang! That's a good eye for detail you've got!
5’2” of pure Gallic courage and strength.
Seeing that Nota Bene helped on this one makes me smile. That man is a true history fan. Thank you for asking his help for this one!
The animated Story Videos are always amazing to see! Thanks for these Videos Sabaton and Yarnhub!
In terms of "unknown stories", it's funny how you already make a much better "Battlefield 1" game than the game itself. You have already given us a Serbian Campaign with "Lady of the Dark", a French Campaign with "The First Soldier", or a Canadian Campaign with "A Ghost In The Trenches".
These story videos are tearjerkers sometimes, I swear..
But that just means they're that good
yeah, a lot of the songs about WWI are like that, epecially this and 1916
Yarn hub models and animation has improved so much i also love these types of videos because it shows more of what happened
Who would win?
A whole German Batalion
VS
One Short French Boy
Lesson: never underestimate thr short french boy
Roche and Richard J Flaherty has taught me a very important life lesson, Your size doesn't matter
Bonjour Sabaton! German salutes to the French hero! Because we Germans and French are nowadays brothers, he's also a German hero for bravery. 😘♥ Merci Sabaton & Yarnhub!
@Wilhelm Eley Sounds like someone needs a snickers bar
@Wilhelm Eley That might explain some things then lol
@Wilhelm Eley Yeah and the Germans was the good guys during both Wold Wars
I have seen all of the Sabaton animated history videos so far. They even introduced me to my favorite Sabaton song, No Bullets Fly. But this is undeniably the best animated history video yet.
These animated stories makes me wanna cry everytime i watch one of them. Its such a good job of portraying events that have been ''forgotten'' by history and by now, thanks to Sabaton's music and Yarnhub's animation and storytelling, will live on forever!
Helluva story. I'm not French, but this man has my respect.
So a real Captain America story. Love the uppercut moves .
I was stunned! May he rest in peace. How ironic the fact that he fought for years and died from a passing car...
I can't wait for the movie that's being made. This is a truly unearthly combination of talents!
what movie ?
@@Cancoillotteman they announced around december that, with the help of yarn hub, they will make a movie to tell all the histories of the songs they made about ww1.
@@amelia31289 Great !
Браво, парни, это просто что то невероятное, я все время просмотра сидел неподвижно и то и дело затаивал дыхание. Удивительно, что исторические видео набирают так мало просмотров, потому что если честно, не представляю себе человека, которому не было бы интересно посмотреть такое. А потом еще пересмотреть пару раз
РФию кстати больше не приедут. Доосвобождались, все по плану
@@SergeVlasov88 И к чему это было сказано? Ты вообще представляешь откуда я?
Концерты не даются во время военной операции из соображений безопасности граждан, то есть мирного населения, а на счëт политической позиции никто и не высказывался. Так что подождëм, пока освобождение закончится)
@@SergeVlasov88 Да не переживай, уркаину всё равно кинули)
The most Respects to the first soldier 🥺 He deserves to be remembered as one of my favorite Soldiers of history Sad he would fall soo soon but I was wondering what killed him Google never gives you these answers Ty sabaton Rest In peace my soldier friend you will forever be remembered by me as the First Soldier and a legend In history ^^ Ty for your service tho I'm an American I thank all soldiers everywhere for what they do.
as far as i know long after the war he had, as a firefighter an ... encounter with a truck
after wich a certain austrian painter had his underlings check... multiple times that the albert roche that died was indeed THE ALBERT ROCHE
Thank you for highlighting forgotten heroes !
how many of these heroes remain unknown to the public? too much
thanks a lot from France ❤🔥
there's a channel dedicated to these unknown stories, from all nations (albeit with a humoristic take). No audio, only text in french, but subtittles available ;7
Le petit theatre des opérations, from Odieux Connard (yes, that's th channel name)
@@pierre-mariecaulliez6285 Merci👍, je connais sa chaîne ainsi que les BD et ses livres 😁
Car nos élites corrompues détestent la France, ce sont des traitres à la nation.
Il faut que ce soit des anglo-saxons qui racontent nos heros, la honte.
Poor bloke to end that way but what a legend, mad respect for him
This is amazing, thanks for the effort, but gotta be honest the french version with the original narrator had a special touch, still love both versions
I love these history videos! Sabaton, you are the best!
This is such an amazing story... glad it's being remembered.
the fact that "le front" is in an official Sabaton video is hilarious. Love you guys so much.
This history videos are always absolutely amazing. A great opportunity to not only jam out but also learn
PLEASE do one for Hellfighters
11:27 My great great great grandfather was killed in the same way 1938. He was also a veteran of the Great War but on the German side
Ngl, this guys is like an irl Captain America, and I love it!!
the line "one man holds the line" really sent chills down my spine
A story that touches the heart, soul and dignity of all of us! God Save Albert! Forever!👏👏👏👏👏
As i'd like to say:
He didn't come there for bullying, he came there to fight.
A Sabaton classic, that always gives tears of happiness.
Go Albert! Vive la France!
Hubaton is the best thing going in metal today. These videos NEVER disappoint. 🤘🏻
"Hubaton". Outstanding!!!!
Before captain America there was Albert.
AKA Captain France
Capitaine Francais
Had he lived, he would've been someone the French Resistance would have rallied behind without fear.
Albert Roche dying weeks prior to the renewed state of war maybe a blessing in disguise for his soul, old scars should not be reopened
Thx sabayon !
Merci Ben !!
Superbe collab ! Merci à vous, d'avoir produit tout ce clip et sa super production !!! C'est plus que plaisant !!! Mais n'oublions pas seul les héros on pu voir la réel fin de la guerre .... qu'elle quelle soit
Force et honneur à tous les soldats tomber
, sans vraiment dur clomou
I love your music and I'm hyped to go to your concert this year🤟
You animated stories with yarnhub are so amazing. They are so interesting and captivating. I can't get enough. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your songs and stories so that history will not be forgotten ❤️
Agree
@@carinarodebak9419 hi Carina, are you going to seeSabaton during their tour now?
@@kaelynshea5533 on count down, 19/2 in Göteborg, with daughter and son in law. Not the big arena you see in En Livstid i Krig, a smaller more club-like venue. Means I can get closer to them🤗
@@carinarodebak9419 you are so lucky. I nust wait until April
he is one hell of a good soldier..
God bless R.I.P
He died like this? That reminds me of one of our WW2 heroes from Greece. Milton's Iatridis. He was the captain of the Papanikolis submarine that managed to sink three Italian ships during the Greco Italian War but was killed in a car accident in 1960.
An other awesome video. France and everone can be proud of this man. Even if he is the enemy. Greetings from Germany
UNbelivable. Not just the Animation, that looks better then ever, alos the story telling. Guys, very good work. I´m looking forward to see you in April in Frankfurt :)
probably the best sabaton-yarnhub video especially with those transitions between scenes
Joakim at 3:09 is gold, great job as always 👌
Albert being killed in a car accident kind of felt like God's way of saying "You've done your duty and endured, time for a long rest, no need to endure the second hell that awaits."
Weird thing- as soon as rhe video says that he died, a raindrop fell on my heart, like, directly in the middle of my heart too.
It's always Educational AND epic whenever a Sabaton and Yarnhub collab happens
Always bringing the best Collaboration between Sabaton and Yarnhub! Amazing song and animation.
I'm amazed by how he fought against a big guy and became victorious but that only proves of how strong he is 6:46
Bro if Albert survived and rejoined the army he would have been home by Christmas that absolute unit of a man
Belle animation et son incroyable! La France vous remercie.
Merci 🤟
@@Sabaton your partnership with Yarnhub is match mad in heaven.
I love and hope that we can get another canadian soldiers history soon, and the french getting a huge song is great
My vote goes to Leo Major
Imagine if he had lived long enough to participate in the Greater War; there's a German officer sitting in his bunker, older but not yet withered, looking at an inteligence list of positions lost and men captured.
He asks "how many crack companies have the French been keeping in reserve?"
His inteligence department reports most if not all the credit goes to one man. The officer scoffs outwardly, though internally he is begining to have flashbacks, and desperately pours over the reports, hoping he's wrong.
Then he sees a name, a very FAMILIAR name, and suddenly he's scrambling for the door, the nearest alcohol cabinet, or both, screaming "not zis glorious bastard again!"
At first, I thought that guy looking like Joakim was just some sort of coincidence, but then I saw Pär as well and I was like: Nope, I saw right 😇😘
I loved this Easter Egg.
Let’s gooo. I love you Sabaton. Please never stop making music.
Wonderful story and video, and another great song by Sabaton! Very well done!
Salute to the hero! Incredible bravery and story!
You see things like this Even today. People who are volenteers and short still not geting the chanse to prove them self. Its not before war comes when people see that why people like him is needed. I feel myself in line with this guys story. Short But Volenteer and got denied. Still Even today and it have gone 5 years now sence then. I still havent laid down my gun or my duty. Trying to fill in the void with other things. As partly a Soldier today i have learnd to despise the system. When we can train and prepare you hide your head in the sand neglecting the fact of the dangure. when the bombs starta falling then they expect people to stand up. Fricking burecratic way to think. As always sabaton is amazing digging up this storys. I hope they never end.
Great job, Sabaton! Your videos are so very enriching. I'm a very proud fan of a band that goes far beyond the music.
This song is AWESOME!!!! LOVE THIS!!! The chord progressions are great, that use of "drone" and chant, the voicing of the chords ( interval positioning) the solo, this is MASTER MUSICIANSHIP at it's finest!!! These guys are GREAT songwriters, great composers, great musicians, NICE people, and AMAZING PERFORMERS!!! Every good thing that happens to this band is WELL deserved, no lie. ( and thank you for that 24/7 Sabaton stream you just posted. I haven't slept in two days), hahahahaha. Singing songs, learning to play the guitar solos ( I've pretty much got the Christmas Truce down, and almost there with Dreadnought and Bismarck).
I won’t stop praising learning more history through these videos with the great collaborations from Yarnhub and Sabaton
The cameos had me laughing but the story is so amazing. I can't wait to hear about more heros like Albert
Merci pour la vidéo 👍. Une magnifique chanson pour un grand homme. Merci sabaton pour le cadeau que vous nous faites. Un grand respect pour tous ces hommes. Merci à vous
Vous nous permettez de ne pas les oublier. ❤️👍🇨🇵🇸🇪
From this animation we can clearly remember that he has a damn strong right straight
You may be thinking of the unkillable soldier. These are different people, but both amazing heroes.
Morale of the story - don't mess with short French peoples (Bonaparte as the most shiniest and most known example in global history)
Hero Metal!!! Thank you, gentlemen. Incredible work. Well done. 💪👍🤘🏼🇺🇸 🇫🇷
Thank you very much!
No wonder yarnhub took a break last week
They had this gem prepared for us
Merci d’un soldat 🇫🇷 à Sabaton et à leurs collaborateur,
I love these videos. And the animations just keep getting better too. God dam.
This is an amazing story. They should make a full feature film about him. Simply incredible.
