Athelflaed of Mercia, daughter of Alfred the great and Queen of Mercia. Not only she took over the kingdom when her husband died in 911 bc, but she went to battle against the Vikings and drove them out of Mercia.
In both ways in the form of song in the form of people learning her history. And in the word of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. “Keep the bloodline safe.”
You forgot to mention that she was released from concentration camp by the order of the newly appointed German commander of occupied Serbia who was a WWI veteran as well. He asked about her when he arrived, they told him she was imprisoned and he immediately ordered her release. Even gave Nedic some scrubbing over it. So even the enemy had huge respect for her.
@@serbianwarrior385 When I was in university my roommate was a guy who studied history. He did a thesis about Serbia under Nazi occupation. During his research he went to the national archives and managed to find the issue of newspapers on microfilm published by occupational forces with an article about Nedic sending Milunka to prison on the front page and rambling how Germans set her free. And public scolding of Nedic for imprisonong her. As propaganda, of course. So it's documented. He printed it out and showed the page to us. There are a lot of documents in Serbian archives that are ignored by public, probably due to nationalistic narrative that is being favorized in the last 30+ years. Hell, my friend even found microfilmed protest letters from Axis and Allied soldiers sent to Radio Beograd for stopping the daily broadcast of the song "Lili Marlene" on the orders from Goebbels. A lot of them are hilarious, especially those sent by British soldiers in North Africa.
If that story was true, it would highly likely have more to do with the dynamics of the international interwar veteran organizations such as Comité International Permanent. It's more about who knows whom.
The stories about Milunka are true, my great-grandfather knew her personally and often told my father about her. He and his brothers were in the 5th Cavalry Regiment which was under the same command as the Iron Regiment. Like Milunka, our last name is Savić, but people called my great-grandfather and his brothers Srećković (the lucky ones) because the five of them were mobilized in 1912, fought in many battles, they were demobilized at the beginning of 1919, and not one of them was seriously wounded .
Vala, vidi se da su Srećkovići ako ni jedan od petorice nije bio ozbiljno povređen ni jednom! English: It shows they are the Lucky Ones if they weren't wounded even once!
Napisala sam im dogovori na engleskom i tek da pomenem da je njem priča u startu naslovljena u negativnom kontekstu a pri tom da u video klipu je naglašena srpsa zastava i jedina vrednost videa je u činjenicama koje se cak ni u Srbijo ne pominju Jer nam je i vlast antisrpska
Apart from war stories, he was a woman of great humanity. With her daughter, she adopted three more girls and provided education for 30 poor children. She will be in our hearts and memory forever!
The thing I like the most about Milunka Savic is that she would have preferred to be remembered for what she did AFTER the war. Raise your hand for the Lady of the Dark.
@@janakolasinac1686 Lady of the Dark je naslov u smislu da smo je zaboravili, svet nije ni cuo za nju, u prevodu, njena prica je bila u mraku, zato je tako nazvana pesma. Iskreno, ne mogu da verujem da sam ovo morao da objasnim.
Post wars life of Milunka is a sad story that many soldiers experience, forgotten and left out only remembered when suited to those in power.... The best were dying, so the worst could rule... Story of our species....
Thank you for this video ... Milunka deserved it One more piece of information for you. Serbian history is full of events and people who are extremely brave and who participated in strange and great events. However, one of the most interesting is Momčilo Gavrić - the youngest corporal. He participated in the First Great War. Since the Austro-Hungarians killed his family, the boy joined the army. Momčilo was 8 years old when he received the rank of corporal. As an active and brave fighter, he took part in the Cerska battle, crossed Albania with the Serbian army, participated in the battles at Kajmakčalan and the Thessaloniki front (where he was wounded). In Kajmakčalan Voivode Živojin Mišić, commander-in-chief of the Serbian army, promoted the brave little Gavrić to the rank of sergeant in 1916. Gavrić was 10 years old at the time. Considering that you are dealing with historical topics and events, this is my proposal ... which you might find interesting. There are many texts about Gavrić and his photos on the Internet Greeting
@@Борислав-э1з Хвала. Али то нећу схватити баш као комплимент (у смислу ласкања). Било би ме срамота када не бих познавала нашу историју. Тачније, константно се бавим њоме ... много је богата и вриједна проучавања, поштовања, памћења и преношења другима. Велики поздрав
Историја нам је ПРЕБОГАТА! На жалост,највећи број историчара с философско факултета "мисли" другачије. САНУ је тек посебна прича.. Ако изузмемо пар хиљада(што је генерално мали број) ентузијаста које интересује историја, све је..па,у најмању руку тужно. Зато,свако ко размишља заслужује БРАВО. Све најбоље..
@@Борислав-э1з Да .. сасвим сте у праву. Увек сам волела историју. Али ово о чему говорите је сасвим тачно. За мене је био шок када сам налетела на текстове о нашем старосрпском календару... а по којем је сада 7531. година!!! Узгред, који је био на снази до 1919, године. ...А и о древној династији, далеко старијој од Немањића...Од тада "копам" ... Много су наш лагали и брисали нам старо памћење.
Thank you very much for this video. As a Serb living outside of Serbia, I often meet people who know nothing or very little about Serbia and its glorious past. To make things worse, the heroes who saved Serbia from disappearing are slowly being forgotten in Serbia. We are a small nation, but with a past that not even a much larger nation can boast of. Thank you for helping us save that HERO from oblivion! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

For me, there are 2-3 favorite songs that change every month, I guess 😄 I can listen to an older song I haven’t heard in a while and realize (again!) how amazing the song is. Right now, Stormtrooper, Union (Slopes of St. Benedict) and The Art of War are on repeat.
@@sladjanteodosin4607 Unbreakable was the only song from Sabaton I have never heard (or noticed) until two months ago. I had it on repeat for a while, I really love it! 😃
That’s a shame, this is actual female empowerment, but it won’t fit the narrative in the states, it’s not pandering enough. Don’t mistake me, she’s a bad woman but won’t get proper recognition anywhere, sadly.
Man, what a story! What Soldier! What a hero! What a legend! What a song! This song kicks all kinds of ass, just like her! And as always, another great video! Also, sometimes my favorite Sabaton song switch. But my favorite Sabaton song, this year and from this album is The Valley of Death! The list of favorite Sabaton songs goes on, and will keep going on!
As a Naginata instructor whose regular class is all female, this song has proven to be extremely inspirational; Shiroyaya, because of the Japanese connection, also rates highly (also reflecting my approach in preserving the 'old ways" against modern influence of sportification). Obviously the Polish history songs, especially Winged Hussars & Uprising, are much appreciated (although I would like to hear one about the dramatic escape of the Polish submarine Orzeł from Tallinn in WWII). Lastly, for my late father, a WWII US Navy vet who served on a 'tin can", there is Wolfpack.
P.S., for the record, during the Winter of 2020-21, when I held evening classes outdoors by lantern light, my 'theme song' for my students was "Night Witches!"
Now I know this might be a little strange to hear but my favourite song from Sabaton is Shadows. I know it's before they got into the groove of historical War metal but a friend of mine from Sweden gave me a CD with that song on it and that Sabaton is a great band and to keep my eye on them! Almost 20 years later you have never disappointed!
For me, the best story is when the Bulgarians found themselves surrounded and when she saw how they were dying, she got up and stopped her comrades from shooting. Cojstvo and heroism. I'm not sure there is a word for "Cojstvo" in English. It means : Protect enemy from yourself".
With the Superbowl coming up I realized that it would be awesome if Sabaton got the chance to preform for the halftime show. It'll probably never happen but it'd still be amazing to see what kind of show they'd be able to make.
Great video, as always. But I live in the same neighborhood Milunka lived in and it not named after her, unfortunately. My grandfarther knew her. He said she was as humble and kind as one can be.
Another great female badass in the history of warfare is the Dragoon Marie Therese Figueur. She served for 22 years in the French Revolutionary Army under her own name and her own gender. She was shot several times and had several horses shot out from under her. Her exploits are pretty amazing and she even ended up serving in The Imperial Guard. Ben Thompson did a great write up on her on badassoftheweek.
My favorite Sabaton song is Last dying breath and Lady of the dark and they will forever be my favorite Sabaton songs, but I also love Red Baron, The attack of the dead man and Final solution.
My number one favourite never changes, it's 82nd All the Way, but Race to the Sea was up there at number 2 until the First Soldier released... It changes, it always changes.
I’ve been waiting for her whole story since fire tales ring about her through the song. We got more information in the animated story video. She truly was a soldier and a bad ass
My great great grand father travelled with her in through mountains. Mind you his entire family just got wiped by the enemy prior to the traveling. He survived the trip unlike 50% of the people that started it. Then went on to fight back and won. I wouldn't typing this if he didnt survive.
This is the kind of women that we want and need, as communities and humanity. Not neceserly warriors with weapons, but warriors for sure. May she rest in peace, and with her all of the women who fought for freedom across the centuries (for example the Greek women on Mani and Crete, the mothers of Spartans and the women of Souli who died dancing).
Now the immortal Milunka has her own song. Until now, they could only know her (indirectly) as a fictional Disney character in the cartoon "MULAN". Thank you from my heart.
My favourites are "The last battle" and "Union". "The last battle" because of the story of course, but also because I was born on the fifth of May and my late grandmother was called "Jenny" and survived both bombings during WW2 at Rotterdam. "Union" is brilliant because of the spirit it has. "As a union we stand and united we fall". That speaks of such power from within, fighting against the odds, with so many nations, so many different cultures but with one greater goal, one big ideal. Those 2 songs always get me
To add to that: May 5 is also Liberation Day in the Netherlands. So as a Dutchie, that's a special day. My mom always says "Yeah, it was "liberation day" for me for sure" (I was some weeks overdue😂)
Milunka Savić wasn't the only one. Sofija Jovanovic is another who was brave and great fighter. Here are some of the women who were big heroes of WW1 including 2 who were from Britain but fought in Serbia. Sofia Jovanovic Lenka Rabasovic Razna Radović Milunka Savić Slavka Tomić Ljubica Kacarevic Mara Petrovic Zivana Terzić Vasilija Vukotic Milica Miljanov (Montenegro) Milosava Perunovic(Montenegro) Jelena Saulic(Montenegro) Antonija Javornik (Slovenia) aka Natalija Bjelajac Flora Sands (Britain) Emily Luisa Simonds (Britain) These women received multiple medals from many countries for their contribution and fighting in WW1. Every single one of them is a hero.
Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. Savić means son of Sava, and ć and dž sound similar to people who don't know Serbian. By the way, my last name is Savić.
Thank you Sabaton, my all family love your music. You have done fantastic song in the honor of such as unique person and hero like Milunka Savic was: true brave and fearless in the war, but very modest in the peace times.
Great greetings from Serbia and huge thanks you man on your storyes abaut Serbian wars and Heroes in two Balkan wars and Great War! Specially huge Thanks to Sabaton and mesege for you guys Belgrade is not Serbia only, come to play in Nis, Krusevac, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, @Sabaton let's make a tour in Serbian Cities, THANKS A LOT TO ALL! 🇳🇴💪🇷🇸💪🇳🇴💪🇷🇸💪
Nisu vetezovi oni koji napadaju,bezobzira ako su i hrabri i snažni.Vitezovi su oni koji brane.Svoju zemlju,obitelj,vjeru,ispravnost,vjesrnosti,ljubav,plemenitost
Svaka cast na emisiji. Milunka Savic je herojka u vojsci, a Olga Lukovic - Pjanovic je herojka u lingvistici. Vecna slava i hvala obema srbskim herojkama 🌹🇷🇸💖 !!!
One of the bravest and strongest soldiers in WW1 that helped so many children, im so proud of me living in Serbia because of her RAISE YOUR HAND FOR THE LADY OF THE DARK!
Lady of the Dark is one of the first songs I went out of my way to read up on early in my Sabaton journey. Attack Of The Dead Men is my favorite Sabaton song followed by To Hell And Back, those 2 haven't changed. There's a lot of songs that I just simply liked that have creeped up and have grown on me since I began listening to these guys around mid 2022. Among those songs is Resist And Bite, Smoking Snakes, The Price Of A Mile, Fields Of Verdun, White Death, Rorke's Drift, Devil Dogs, and Seven Pillars Of Wisdom which is the song that really encouraged me to go through the band's entire library of music. There's many others I could've listed that are climbing up through the ranks as well and Lady of the Dark is one of them.
First, thanx for sharing another piece of history from my country, second, well, I love most of Sabaton songs, but one that is forever in my ears and head gotta be The Art of War!
It's hard to have a literal favourite piece, when you choose between songs that are all legendary. But Christmas Truce has its place in my heart, I guess I'm not the only one with that

You forgot to mention that she was released from concentration camp by the order of the newly appointed German commander of occupied Serbia who was a WWI veteran as well. He asked about her when he arrived, they told him she was imprisoned and he immediately ordered her release. Even gave Nedic some scrubbing over it.
So even the enemy had huge respect for her.
It was lie. Only myth.
I dont think that is true,its a myth
@@serbianwarrior385 When I was in university my roommate was a guy who studied history. He did a thesis about Serbia under Nazi occupation. During his research he went to the national archives and managed to find the issue of newspapers on microfilm published by occupational forces with an article about Nedic sending Milunka to prison on the front page and rambling how Germans set her free. And public scolding of Nedic for imprisonong her. As propaganda, of course. So it's documented. He printed it out and showed the page to us.
There are a lot of documents in Serbian archives that are ignored by public, probably due to nationalistic narrative that is being favorized in the last 30+ years.

Thank you, Sabaton. People should really learn how important Serbian history is
Serbia is that one country that has the greatest war stories that could easily form an album on its own 🇷🇸👑

I would absolutely empty my retirement account to be there for that. Will never happen though because we have to be "family friendly". Blegh.
Loveeee from Serbia my brothers, thanks for talking about our history 🥰
Thank YOU for watching our videos! 🤘
Great video, as always. But I live in the same neighborhood Milunka lived in and it not named after her, unfortunately. My grandfarther knew her. He said she was as humble and kind as one can be.
Another great female badass in the history of warfare is the Dragoon Marie Therese Figueur. She served for 22 years in the French Revolutionary Army
under her own name and her own gender. She was shot several times and had several horses shot out from under her. Her exploits are pretty amazing
and she even ended up serving in The Imperial Guard. Ben Thompson did a great write up on her on badassoftheweek.
My favorite Sabaton song is Last dying breath and Lady of the dark and they will forever be my favorite Sabaton songs, but I also love Red Baron, The attack of the dead man and Final solution.
Respect for Brave Serbian woman and hero.Milunka Savic.Greeting from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
My number one favourite never changes, it's 82nd All the Way, but Race to the Sea was up there at number 2 until the First Soldier released... It changes, it always changes.
I’ve been waiting for her whole story since fire tales ring about her through the song. We got more information in the animated story video.
She truly was a soldier and a bad ass
I will say, Lady of the Dark is definitely one of the top 5 Sabaton songs for me, but No Bullets Fly still has a firm grip on the top spot.
My great great grand father travelled with her in through mountains. Mind you his entire family just got wiped by the enemy prior to the traveling. He survived the trip unlike 50% of the people that started it. Then went on to fight back and won. I wouldn't typing this if he didnt survive.
Thank you Sabaton. There are so many war stories about humanity, suffering and victory in Serbian war history. Specialy in WW1 🙏🙏🙏
This is the kind of women that we want and need, as communities and humanity. Not neceserly warriors with weapons, but warriors for sure. May she rest in peace, and with her all of the women who fought for freedom across the centuries (for example the Greek women on Mani and Crete, the mothers of Spartans and the women of Souli who died dancing).
Now the immortal Milunka has her own song.
Until now, they could only know her (indirectly) as a fictional Disney character in the cartoon "MULAN".
Thank you from my heart.
My favourites are "The last battle" and "Union".
"The last battle" because of the story of course, but also because I was born on the fifth of May and my late grandmother was called "Jenny" and survived both bombings during WW2 at Rotterdam.
"Union" is brilliant because of the spirit it has. "As a union we stand and united we fall". That speaks of such power from within, fighting against the odds, with so many nations, so many different cultures but with one greater goal, one big ideal.
Those 2 songs always get me
To add to that: May 5 is also Liberation Day in the Netherlands. So as a Dutchie, that's a special day.
My mom always says "Yeah, it was "liberation day" for me for sure" (I was some weeks overdue😂)
We have three more of our forgotten heroes: Sofija Jovanovic, Slavka Tomić and Antonija Javornik. Make a video about them. Thank you 🙏
We as simple as free people, for freedom ALWAYS. Those are words of ours grandgrand father's 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇸
Milunka Savić is basically the Mulan of Serbia
Mulan is a fairytale. Dont compare shit with reality
What is my favorite SABOTON song?
YES!
Milunka Savić wasn't the only one. Sofija Jovanovic is another who was brave and great fighter. Here are some of the women who were big heroes of WW1 including 2 who were from Britain but fought in Serbia.
Sofia Jovanovic
Lenka Rabasovic
Razna Radović
Milunka Savić
Slavka Tomić
Ljubica Kacarevic

Im whaithing you in Belgrade to give you medal of honor thank you SABATON❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Sabaton. Love from Belgrade
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻
Tanks so much for this video about Milunka Savić
you have no idea how long iv been waiting for this to come out, one of my favorite songs
Her life story is awesomely inspiring. 🤩
We think so too! 🤘
Thank you for this ❤
She live and die in Beograd,Brace Jerkovic street,two buildings near my apartment....
What a woman!!
The Serbian version of Mulan. Such a badass woman
Except Milunka was real. As huge a fan as I am of Mulan's story there's no historical record she even existed.
Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow! This piece of history and the person in focus can hardly be compared to an animated fairy tale.
She was honored from Russia,Frence(2 time legion of honor).She had her children,but adopted others.She finished cleaning offices.Legend,died 1970ies!
@@kevinramsey417 I mean... it isnt a stretch to say Mulan was inspired by Milunka's story... 😅
@@handledhandlehandlinghandler well most of serbian turks history is fairy tale
It's about time we sing this song together!🇷🇸❤️🇸🇪
Milunka Savic 💪❤ Thank you for talk for most great woman and fighter from freedom.🇷🇸
Milunka SERBIAN HERO. Celebrating Milunka here in the heart of SERBIA
No Bullets Fly has been my favorite Sabaton song for years. Great song about an even greater story.
Yes! Just love that opening riff!
Best song on this album, in my eyes and it so refreshing to hear about women fighting throughout history in such epic and respectful way!
Finally! I was waiting for her!
Proud of Her, since I'm Serbian By Blood!
When you turn on CC, it pronounces "Savic" as "Savage" and it's both hilarious and accurate to her character 🤘😎
Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. Savić means son of Sava, and ć and dž sound similar to people who don't know Serbian. By the way, my last name is Savić.
@@lenjapita bruv you completely missed the point of my original comment. Click CC on this video and see how captions are pronouncing "Savić" surname.
Thank you Sabaton, my all family love your music. You have done fantastic song in the honor of such as unique person and hero like Milunka Savic was: true brave and fearless in the war, but very modest in the peace times.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Thank you for the song and the story about our hero! ❤️
Great greetings from Serbia and huge thanks you man on your storyes abaut Serbian wars and Heroes in two Balkan wars and Great War!

Thanks for making this video, I have been awaiting it since the song was released. It is currently my favourite song, but that changes all the time!
Ahhh! I miss the time when Serbian food pljeskavica came too Sweden. So tasty. We had it for lunch every friday at work
Хвала, што сте је сетили/ Thanke you for remmembering her.
Together with my great-grandfather Andjelko Novkovic
, Milunka Savic went to the Balkans and then to the First World War.
Thank you Sabaton ...
Milunka Savić eternal hero. Long live Serbia!
Nisu vetezovi oni koji napadaju,bezobzira ako su i hrabri i snažni.Vitezovi su oni koji brane.Svoju zemlju,obitelj,vjeru,ispravnost,vjesrnosti,ljubav,plemenitost
Tako je.
Прочитај витешки код од Светог Саве биће ти много драго.

... Srbi se uvek brane!
@@ZgemboAdislic11250 mos mislit
Svaka cast na emisiji.
Milunka Savic je herojka u vojsci,
a Olga Lukovic - Pjanovic je herojka u lingvistici.
Vecna slava i hvala
obema srbskim herojkama 🌹🇷🇸💖 !!!
Thank you all who brought this History to us..well done.
1916 is my current favorite its a tear jerker lol but primo victoria and bismark is what got me hooked on Sabaton.
One of the bravest and strongest soldiers in WW1 that helped so many children, im so proud of me living in Serbia because of her RAISE YOUR HAND FOR THE LADY OF THE DARK!
🤘🤘🤘
Great work Sabaton, thank you for this and many other songs! Хвала Сабатон, поздрав из Србије!
Wow Thanx... Good informed.Milunka is our Hero! 💞
Incredible work! I have been waiting to know more about her since the song came out!
Thank you Sabaton for creating an episode about this woman, she was a remarkable human beings and true role model for not only women but human race.
Lady of the Dark is one of the first songs I went out of my way to read up on early in my Sabaton journey.
Attack Of The Dead Men is my favorite Sabaton song followed by To Hell And Back, those 2 haven't changed. There's a lot of songs that I just simply liked that have creeped up and have grown on me since I began listening to these guys around mid 2022. Among those songs is Resist And Bite, Smoking Snakes, The Price Of A Mile, Fields Of Verdun, White Death, Rorke's Drift, Devil Dogs, and Seven Pillars Of Wisdom which is the song that really encouraged me to go through the band's entire library of music. There's many others I could've listed that are climbing up through the ranks as well and Lady of the Dark is one of them.
First, thanx for sharing another piece of history from my country, second, well, I love most of Sabaton songs, but one that is forever in my ears and head gotta be The Art of War!
Cant wait for concert in Belgrade.Last dying breath and Lady of the Dark.Guys come soon pls,you will have a best concert in your lifes 🤘🤘🤘
It's hard to have a literal favourite piece, when you choose between songs that are all legendary. But Christmas Truce has its place in my heart, I guess I'm not the only one with that
