As an Italian I love the song (Sabaton are amazing) and as an Italian, we love our Greek brothers , una faccia una razza, the war had to be fought at the same side, but we know how generals and dictators work, and, the Greeks actually showed that numbers aren't always the key point, if the Germans came and managed to help the Italians it's just because the Greeks at that point had no supplies or even ammunitions to hold, but yet the Germans found hell at Crete. Greeks are heroes! We love you guys~
We consider Italians our good friends. Greeks and Italians are very similar, the way we look, we think, we have fun, we eat similar foods. Italy is our friendly neighbour.
germany joined because britain had started ussing athens air base to bomb romainian oil lines harming germanies invasion of rusia as it cut off oil to germany this forced hitler to need to move on greece and help italy, italy attacking greece opened this weakness up in the axis attack which is one of many reasons the war went the way it did. italy attacking greece opened up a new front for the British empire to attack at the axis weakening the axis if italy didn't attack greece Britain would of been standing alone waiting for America to get attacked britain could of tried drag portugal in due to the anglo portugues alliance but britain deliberatly asked portugal to sdtay neutural as a compromise with spain to keep spain from joining the axis the axis caused their own pronlems by makinh too many enemies at the same time
The first allied victory was the Greek victory against the Italians, they were pushed back to Albania and half of the Albanian territory was liberated. Then the nazis attacked, a superior force, and the Metaxas line tried to hold them until our forces retreat from Albania and take the defensive again. The blitzkrieg was again successful but not in a scale of Poland and France. Then Crete became the cemetery for the elite paratroopers of the nazis and one of the main causes why the nazis lost the war with the soviet union because of the delay in Greece. Thank you Greece!! 🇬🇷
They have a history channel, Sabaton History, which explains the stories behind the songs further, including the story of this song. You should totally watch that. Greetings from Greece’s Orthodox brother country of Georgia!
This song is so good. The first time I found it I listened to it 3 times a day for nearly 2 weeks. The lyrics are easy to remember but this is a good song to be stuck in your head 😂. By the way you’re the first Greek RUclipsr I’ve seen and I like it, I’m a Greek well I was born in the US but my entire family before me Is from Greece.
One of the best things about Sabaton is that they tell history, the way it really happened. But they are always looking for the human element in war. Sure, there are good guys and there are bad guys - depending on which side you ask - but at the end of the day, it's all just people... people who have stories. They look for those stories to help bring out the human element, rather than to focus on the war itself. Here are just a couple of my favorites by Sabaton. The first honors the Russian female bomber pilots, and the second is about the famous German ace, Red Baron.

"If there had not been the virtue and courage of the Greeks, we do not know which the outcome of World War II would have been. Hence we will not say that the Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks. " Winston Churchill
The name of the Greek leader who said no was "Metaxas", he said it in his small house, when the Italian ambassador to Greece Gracci visited him, and gave him the ultimatum for the surrender of Greece, if he refused the Italian attack would begin 6 Early in the morning, the attack started at 5.30 in the morning of October 28, 1940 on the Greek-Albanian border and ended with the Italians and Albanians defending the Albanian territories. I'm surprised how well you know the details of this story, I wish you well, thanks for this wonderful video.
Awesome reaction! I can see the pride on your face, and you should be proud! Greek fought very bravely and by doing so they made an important piece of ww2 history! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Greece is the only country that we celebrate the begining of a war and not the ending. For us a war is a way to be united. We are all soldiers and service to the army is obligatory for all men citizens. We will rock you any time
Born and raised at the mountains of Pindos (although it's pronounced more with a 'th'- like in "the" than a 'd') I can tell that the Italians were fracked up the moment they decided to go through that territory...Pyrrhus of Epirus, taught the same to the Roman invaders, almost 17 hundred years b4....same stage, same players, same result...btw, in both cases, it was a dictator (or emperor, no difference) against people of a nation and I hope that detail it will be seriously noted for the years to come, all over the world 😉 P.S.: Good job there dude (πατριωτάκι)! 🖖
Best comment about this war: "The Italians invaded Greece wanting to restore Roman Empire while forgetting that Greeks were Romans far longer than them."
and a very DUMB one too because Greeks were not Romans until occupied by Rome so they were not "Romans far longer" because before captured and made part of Roman Empire they were first Greek tribes then Greek city states then then united after beat by one of the tribes - Macedonians so became Macedonian empire of Alexander the Great who went onto conquer Egypt Persia and reached up to India and Afganistan until after his death and successor states governed by dynasties created by his generals got captured by Romans We Greeks study our history and since its a long and proud one we correct such stupid erroneous comments
@@galadballcrusher8182 Actually yours is much more idiotic as you basically deny 1000 years as an Eastern Roman Empire. In that case why get mad at the Turks when they say Istanbul is now their city up until the end of time?
@@galadballcrusher8182 You know what "Ρωμιος" and "Ρωμιοσυνη" mean, right? Now tell me again how Greeks have not been Romans longer than the Italians were.
I hope you have a chance to see their newest song, Soldiers of Heaven, which talks about the Alps campaign of WW1 and the avalanches which killed thousands of Italian, Austrian and Hungarian soldiers in 1916. Another good song for your region is Gallipoli, which talks about the disastrous British invasion near Gallipoli attempting to overrun the Turkish coastal defenses.

musolini wasnt a genral he was the founder of facism he wrotenthe facist manifesto led the facist revelution in italy and created the first facist state
The story of the so called "No" is different but in short we kept the No,in truth the Turkish government send a "mail" to Metaxas through the Mussolini ambassador Graci i might butchered his name probably,and demanded the Italian army to march in athens and that Greeks wont suffer otherwise we have war,and Iwannhs Metaxas in perfect Italian replied to Graci "Then we have war"

Him being a dictator is irrelevant to his commendable handling of ww2 Hellenic affairs. By Hellenic politics standards should we had anyone from the "metapolitefsi" era and afterwards we would be 101% doomed and even internationally Axis would have survived for a longer time even if just a little.
@@demetres6113 probably... For them it is difficult to understand that despite people's tastes (yes Metaxas was German friendly) their own country goes before everything.
@@bouss1 Metaxas was a nationalist. Even if he liked Germany at that time, his beliefs commanded him to fight back. The funny thing is that we already have the dialog between the Italian ambassador Emanuel Gratsi and the Greek Governor Metaxa which states exactly what the thoughts of Metaxas were. The dialog comes from the biography of the ambassador himself so that we don't really have retarded accusations from the far left. The Greek people were patriots and of course they would want to defend their land yet they didn't force him to do so. Also for the komounismeno above, Zachariadis, the leader of the communist party in Greece condemned the defiance of Greece as imperialistic expansion(!?!?!) of Greece and when the Germans came they freed them from their prison that the Greek state had them as traitors. The "greek" communists entered the war only after the Axis attacked the soviets...

Truth to be told if Germany wouldn't involved to our war with Italians back then, then a huge victory was even greater.

And then Mussolini called to Berlin and greece was invaded in days...
Not exactly in“in days „ like you forget the battle of Crete or how hard is to be alone against 3armies (Bulgarian Italien germans )
...and then Mussoli called to Adolf. Can we just take out Hellas? Adolf: not our problem. M: pls, A:meh, M:pls, A: ok, and then it was done...
and then Mussolini called to Adi...Greece was taken in days.
Yeah. By the Germans.
The Italians didn't have a prayer on their own
Mussolini and Metaxas were both dictators but..ok
apparently, from looking at the history of the two, Metaxas was far less dickish.
Εάν δεν ήταν ο Μεταξάς ακόμα γερμανικά θα μιλάγαμε
Him being a dictator is irrelevant to his commendable handling of ww2 Hellenic affairs. By Hellenic politics standards should we had anyone from the "metapolitefsi" era and afterwards we would be 101% doomed and even internationally Axis would have survived for a longer time even if just a little.
Not all dictators are bad, the word "dictator" is only seen as bad because of people like Adolf Hitler, it is meant to scare you.
How are you Greek,you know who Mousolini is but you don't know who Metaxas was?
You aren't look like a Greek for sure.
Actually the Metaxas want to say yes but the Greek people say to Metaxas to say NO.I know that cause I am from Greece.
Yet you have no idea about what are you talking.. komounismenos?
@@demetres6113 probably... For them it is difficult to understand that despite people's tastes (yes Metaxas was German friendly) their own country goes before everything.
@@bouss1 Metaxas was a nationalist. Even if he liked Germany at that time, his beliefs commanded him to fight back. The funny thing is that we already have the dialog between the Italian ambassador Emanuel Gratsi and the Greek Governor Metaxa which states exactly what the thoughts of Metaxas were. The dialog comes from the biography of the ambassador himself so that we don't really have retarded accusations from the far left. The Greek people were patriots and of course they would want to defend their land yet they didn't force him to do so. Also for the komounismeno above, Zachariadis, the leader of the communist party in Greece condemned the defiance of Greece as imperialistic expansion(!?!?!) of Greece and when the Germans came they freed them from their prison that the Greek state had them as traitors. The "greek" communists entered the war only after the Axis attacked the soviets...
Γιατί λες ανακρίβειες Τότε γιατί εξόπλισε τον στρατό , έκανε τήν γραμμή Μεταξά με τα οχυρά και έκανε στρατιωτική συμμαχία με τήν μεγάλη Βρετανία ο ηγέτης εκείνης τής περιόδου άσχετα από πολιτικά ήταν αυτός και πήρε τήν απόφαση νά προστατεύσει τήν χώρα από τήν εισβολή έχοντας τον στρατηγό Παπάγο ως αρχηστρατηγο τήν περίμεναν τήν εισβολή κάμποσο καιρό απλώς κέρδιζαν χρόνο όπως με την βύθιση τής Έλλης.
