Back when I started my doctoral studies in computer applications we spent hours discussing the future benefits of computers. None of us expected seeing such a powerful cross discipline mixing. To reword another Sabaton song, "And it’s History, Music and Education joining together at last".
Konstantin Rokossovsky, possibly the most underrated Soviet general in WW2. Survivor of the Great Purge which ended up with him having iron false teeth for the rest of his life, one of the few Soviet commanders to have any kind of success during Operation Barbarossa, and one of a handful of people to openly tell Stalin he was wrong about something (and not get shot over it), and victor in countless battles all the while being constantly overshadowed by Zhukov because of his Polish ancestry. Plus he just had such an awesome name
Человек который командовал парадом на Красной площади в 1945 году был недооценен? The man who commanded the parade on Red Square in 1945 was underestimated? ruclips.net/video/HNPeRtjYf3s/видео.html
As if I didn’t love history enough when I was in school (and stil to this day) - discovering Sabaton only helped fuel that love even to this day. Never stop what you do.
@@marofion2840 same thought I mostly love War history when ever I got bored in school I'd open my history book and read the War sections and I would always get 100+% on those sections of history. I have even thought of trying to be a war historian.
Panzerkampf has such a powerful opening, it really grabs your attention and then it keeps you there for the whole song. One of my all time favorite songs!
Model is very much an underrated german general and is certainly the best defensive commander of the war . He is responsible for prolonging the war through excellent defence strategy. He is often overlooked in favour of men like manstein, guderian or even rommel. His analysis of the inevitability defeat at kursk and defences averted a complete route after he was forced to call off his attack.
I got to know Kursk thanks to Sabaton. Now tank battles are among my interests and fascinations. "Onward comrades! Armies of heavy metal, charge!" (Joakim said this during Wacken 2008)
Are you japanese? I saw on TV(can't believe my eyes) that in Japanese schools tells that it's union used atomic bomb on Hiroshima , But that was Americans.
It's that feeling, when my great grandfather was there, in the Battle of Kursk (I'm from Ukraine, but my great grandfather was from Russia). I'm so proud that Sabaton sings actually 'bout my relatives.
The first time I heard Panzerkampf song I immediately fell in love listening to it not just one song but the entire Sabaton's discography. Sabaton is the best War History band teachers ever. Every lyrics of its songs has a deep history and meaning to it pays tribute to the history of wars.
One of their best songs,really. Just the beginning,with the tank tracks rolling and the unified march of soldier's boots. And followed by that iconic line... " *INTO THE MOTHERLAND, THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH!* "
@@The_Devil_Himself Depends on what you mean by cost. That is a very umbrella like word that covers alot and the fact that it sounds like a crucial par t of the question.
I think a couple of things that got overlooked on why the song got so big its A) The MONSTER riff that it packs, thick and heavy as the plating of a tiger tank and B) How the soviet speech before the solo just soars and amps you up for the remainder of the song.
Very informative, these Sabaton history episodes have the right balance between being succinct but also providing enough detail to learn something new!
Вообще тема Великой Отечественной войны для российских граждан очень больна: эта война коснулась почти каждой семьи, и далеко не все вернулись домой. Лично их моих родственников на фронт ушло 6 человек, а вернулось только трое, один из которых скончался после возвращения. Поэтому наверное в России эта песня является самой популярной среди всех песен Сабатона. И я хотел бы выразить благодарность за такое бережное отношение к истории этой тяжёлой войны. Thank you very much
No joke, I was just listening to Sabaton on the way home from work, and I came checked RUclips and there's a new Sabaton/history video! Must be my lucky day! As a side note, I studied history in college, and only one of my many professors was able to grab my attention the way Sabaton's music does. There's a huge difference between learning raw statistics and telling a more personal story.
Awesome! Though I must say that the the academic study of history is ultimately why we're able to make these shows. Without proper research and proper historiographic debate, this would be inpossible.
One of my favorite tank warfare songs of all time. One thing I appreciate about the Russian people is their determination to defend the motherland at any cost. Didn't know Bill Belichic used the Art of War, another reason why I love the New England Patriots. Love this channel Indy and your music Pär.
The German Tank Museum approves this message. :D Seriously though, a good production regarding the historical content. The storytelling managed to avoid the old myths and to show the modern research instead, and that is what has to be seen and heard on RUclips. Especially 3:55 is a very good point - the salient did not exist in a vacuum, but in a larger strategic context. Important were also the facts that Zitadelle was only a stop-gap to give the Wehrmacht time to breathe and rebuild (it was nowhere near the dimensions of Blau and Barbarossa) and the fact that the Red Army of 1943 was a completely different beast than 1941. The only addition that should be made: The British intelligence was not really crucial for the Soviets to realize that the Germans were about to attack the Salient. First of all it was practically a refelx for German general staffs to pincer attack wherever possible, so the place was pretty much predictable. Secondly the Red Army intelligence reconnoitered the German build-up itself, because they actually couldn't miss it. Additionally the long decision making process of the Germans made the intelligence's job much easier. Best wishes from Germany!
And yet he repeats one of those old myth by stating that the SS divisions at Kursk were the first to have the Tiger and Panther. Tiger Is first went to Heer units, as did the Panther. In fact the none of SS division at Kursk had Panthers.
I stopped being a history enthusiast long ago but still every now and then sabaton impresses me with their songs and now these documentaries. Thank you so much for existing and making awesome music with which I exercise and teaching me a bit of history that we didn't learn in school.
@@SabatonHistory Oh I simply lost the interest for it...I respect the history and like to hear something I didn't know before but my interest shifted more to the future and SF. Also it was influenced by the fact that in my society there's a strong nationalistic/right-wing(conservative) frame of mind and people doing bad things in the name of history which repelled me from being associated with it altogether.
That's a shame :( I hope you somehow refind your passion (or if you're happy where you are, by al means, i'm glad you found a new interest).

+@@Sabaton For me, every single time of Sabaton rocks equally!! "Winged Hussars", "Night Witches" or "The Last Battle" can thrill me as much as "Primo Victoria", "Gott mit uns" or "Uprising"!!!
This is so awesome. Great combination of Sabaton with Indy. Keep these video's coming. I had the pleasure of photographing Sabaton in concert. One of my all time favorite metal bands.
That's a super cool episode. *whistles, wonders if on some other of the new ones, like, Last Dying Breath, we get say a Chris on screen, that'd be amazing*
Mostly Par and Joakim are co-presenting with Indy to start with because they are our chief songwriters and biggest history lovers, but maybe we can fix something with the rest of us in a future week...?
This was the first Sabaton song I was exposed to, and I was immediately in love. I regret that it took me much longer to discover the actual band, but Panzerkampf holds a special place in my heart
Love this song. It's what introduced me to Sabaton. At the time, I was looking for an old documentary about the Battle of Kursk but instead got led to this song. Instantly got hooked once I listened to it.
As a life long student of history and a fan of metal, I've become a fan of Sabaton. The Great War introduced me the band, now I've introduced them to my nice. She is now a fan , and is going to get the EP The Art of War.
This series is amazing! The inspiration behind some of my favourite Sabaton songs. Enjoyed that little history lesson about The Art of War included at the end too.
Panzerkampf is how I learned about Sabaon. And since you guys are by a huuuuge margin my favorite band, that technically means it changed my life. It brought me all the way to Falun for Sabaton open air the year I heard it. I just had to see you live!
It was for me a real torture but I waited to be with my son to watch this episode together, since he is a very passionate fan of Panzers as he is a fan of you guys. Lovely, regards from Mexico!!!
I have an idea for a song: Siege of Savastapol And one of the lines I can't get out of my head is: SAVASTAPOL UNDER SIEGE (or SAVASTAPOL, CITY UNDER SIEGE) and all that sung like you did "Warsaw city at war" on Uprising
Alright I’ve just gotta say this only five videos into the channel. This shit is how the history of wars and warfare should be taught in schools. I had history classes every year of my time in the US education system in all but my last two years of high school and for all that, I’ve learned more today than in all my school years combined. Nobody has presented war history to me in a way that’s engaging and palatable until I came across these videos today. Thank you!!!!
The first sabaton song I listened to. I discovered in 6th grade(now I'm in 11th jr. 1 year to graduation) I loved the song and discovered more sabaton songs. I grew up learning about history and warfare mainly because of my dad who also has a big interest. Still prefer the history of ww2 over most. Sabaton helped me learn more and just person research. And this series of explaining the history behind the songs is awsome.
My new Favorite U-Tube Show! I love how you show respect for the soldiers; the men caught up in the “Meat Grinder “ these guys were necessarily fighting for an ideology; but fighting for their lives and the that of their brothers in arms!! Once again you guys have outdone yourself and further cementing Sabaton as one of the greatest Metal Bands of all Time!!!
i remember listening this song in a gifs with sound video, later i search for the song and listened to it, sounded so good that i listened more sabaton songs, i will always remember that video because it showed me a awesome band, Panzerkampf one of my favorite songs you have made.
Allthough I really like this video there's quite a lot of historical inacuracies in it... Worst one is that General Model was neither a field marshall at this time (he became in january 1944) nor did he command german army group center (that was field marshall von Kluges job) but 9th army AND 2nd panzerarmy at the same time. Also the whole "battle of prochorovka"-story just seems to follow the sowjet post war propaganda although - as recent studies by e.g. Dr. R. Töppel or Dr. K.H. Frieser showed - it was a total disaster for Rotmistrovs two tank corps who nearly got anihilated with losses of about 300 tanks while the SS-Panzer-Corps in total didn't even lose 20 tanks on 12th July 1943.
with all due respect to indy and sabaton the battle of Dubno is considered to be the largest tank battle not Kursk and indy's tone of hitlers thought about citadel is too optimistic when in reallity hitler said it makes him puke but still it got all the detail after some which I mention correct.
@@ИванРусский-ц5о the kursk battle is divided into two parts not just one in kursk there were 6,000 in total but if you divivde it the largest battle is the one at the south has 4000 and in dubno there were 5,800+ tanks
@@Marukuzuu In the first, all the battles took place in much larger space, including also the districts of Lutsk, Brody, Rovno. And it lasted for a whole week from 23 to 30 June. Secondly, what the hell are 5800 tanks ?! If the total list number of tanks in the mechanized corps of the South-Western Front was 3,429 units. In addition, only 3 of the 6 corps were operational, as the rest were at the stage of formation. The battle included a series of attacks and counterattacks during the week. If specifically about Dubno, then on June 26, the 43rd tank division of the 19th mechanized corps, using 79 tanks of the 86th tank regiment, broke through the defensive positions of the German 11th tank divisions and by 6 o'clock in the evening broke into the outskirts of Dubno, after midnight it came retreat. On June 27, only hastily organized detachments of the 24th Tank Regiment of Lieutenant Colonel Volkov and the 34th Tank Division of the brigade commissar Popel headed for the counteroffensive on Dubno. Having crushed defensive barriers, the Popel group in the evening entered the outskirts of Dubno, capturing the enemy’s 11th Panzer Division’s rear reserves and several dozen intact tanks. During the night, the Germans redeployed to the place of the breakthrough part of the 16th motorized, 75th and 111th infantry divisions and closed the gap, interrupting the supply routes and surrounding the Popel groups. The defense lasted until July 2, when ammunition and fuel came to an end, the detachment, having destroyed the remaining equipment, began to break through from the encirclement. After passing over the enemy’s rear over 200 km, the group entered the location of the 15th Rifle Corps of the 5th Army.
@@Marukuzuu is this book scientific? Was it written by Soviet, Russian or at least French historian (historians of other nations usually don't have an access to Soviet archives or just too lazy to research them. French historians typically use at least some of them). Is it modern research? A lot of archive documents was declassified only after 1991.

One of the best Sabaton songs, in my opinion. I like the older stuff, not that the new stuff isn't good. It's all good. All.
We really like that attitude! You like all our music, but maybe the older stuff is a little closer to your heart? :)
+@@Sabaton
For me, every single time of Sabaton rocks equally!! "Winged Hussars", "Night Witches" or "The Last Battle" can thrill me as much as "Primo Victoria", "Gott mit uns" or "Uprising"!!!
This is so awesome. Great combination of Sabaton with Indy. Keep these video's coming. I had the pleasure of photographing Sabaton in concert. One of my all time favorite metal bands.
Cool! Thanks!
That's a super cool episode.
*whistles, wonders if on some other of the new ones, like, Last Dying Breath, we get say a Chris on screen, that'd be amazing*
Mostly Par and Joakim are co-presenting with Indy to start with because they are our chief songwriters and biggest history lovers, but maybe we can fix something with the rest of us in a future week...?
This was the first Sabaton song I was exposed to, and I was immediately in love. I regret that it took me much longer to discover the actual band, but Panzerkampf holds a special place in my heart
I hope you liked the video then :)
One of the most epic SABATON songs ❤❤❤❤
Love this song. It's what introduced me to Sabaton.
At the time, I was looking for an old documentary about the Battle of Kursk but instead got led to this song. Instantly got hooked once I listened to it.
LOVE THIS SONG!
As a life long student of history and a fan of metal, I've become a fan of Sabaton. The Great War introduced me the band, now I've introduced them to my nice. She is now a fan , and is going to get the EP The Art of War.
awesome!!
Love sabaton history
This series is amazing! The inspiration behind some of my favourite Sabaton songs. Enjoyed that little history lesson about The Art of War included at the end too.
Один мой прадед погиб под Смоленском, второй умер в Праге в июне 45-го.
В июне 45-ого? От ран что-ли?

Panzerkampf is how I learned about Sabaon. And since you guys are by a huuuuge margin my favorite band, that technically means it changed my life. It brought me all the way to Falun for Sabaton open air the year I heard it. I just had to see you live!
And we hope it was well worth the trip 😉 Thanks a lot for following us!
One of my favorite songs? Yes please, now I just need Carolus Rex
Alexander Schweinehunde Yes daddy
But the whole album
One of my favourite Sabaton song. It just has the punch and epic ness to do such a battle justice
I'm sure now i'll get a good grade from history in the next test about the Battle of Kursk
It was for me a real torture but I waited to be with my son to watch this episode together, since he is a very passionate fan of Panzers as he is a fan of you guys. Lovely, regards from Mexico!!!
You're a hero! Say hi to your son for us ;)
I have an idea for a song: Siege of Savastapol
And one of the lines I can't get out of my head is: SAVASTAPOL UNDER SIEGE (or SAVASTAPOL, CITY UNDER SIEGE) and all that sung like you did "Warsaw city at war" on Uprising
Panzerkampf was the first Sabaton song I herd and its also what got me listining to more Sabaton songs.
I belive that Prochorovka was under von Manstein command, not Models, and that battle took place before russian counterattacks in the north
Alright I’ve just gotta say this only five videos into the channel.
This shit is how the history of wars and warfare should be taught in schools. I had history classes every year of my time in the US education system in all but my last two years of high school and for all that, I’ve learned more today than in all my school years combined.
Nobody has presented war history to me in a way that’s engaging and palatable until I came across these videos today.
Thank you!!!!
Thanks Jen! Means a lot!
God I love this channel! 2 of my favourite subjects: history and metal! 🤘🤘
The first sabaton song I listened to. I discovered in 6th grade(now I'm in 11th jr. 1 year to graduation) I loved the song and discovered more sabaton songs. I grew up learning about history and warfare mainly because of my dad who also has a big interest. Still prefer the history of ww2 over most. Sabaton helped me learn more and just person research. And this series of explaining the history behind the songs is awsome.
Ура товарищи! И о нас не забыли!
иронично
This is EVERYTHING I could have ever hoped for and more when I first read the words "Sabaton History" channel. Thank you
Cool! Glad you like it! 🤘
SOLDIERS OF THE UNION
BROKE THE CITADEL
RUINS OF AN ARMY
AXIS REST IN HELL!!!!
My favorite part
I thought the lyric was "fascists rest in hell!" I now it is not, but it should be.
@@ShantyIrishman that doesn't make sense, fascism still lives on sadly.
TecnicStudios Fascism is an idea, fascists are people, a lot of them died in 1943.
@@ShantyIrishman you might have heard of a little fascist named Francisco Franco, he ruled Spain from 1939 to his death in 1975.
same. I don't know what's about it that makes it so pleasant to the ear
My new Favorite U-Tube Show! I love how you show respect for the soldiers; the men caught up in the “Meat Grinder “ these guys were necessarily fighting for an ideology; but fighting for their lives and the that of their brothers in arms!! Once again you guys have outdone yourself and further cementing Sabaton as one of the greatest Metal Bands of all Time!!!
I CAME THE MOMENT I SAW THE NOTIFICATION
i remember listening this song in a gifs with sound video, later i search for the song and listened to it, sounded so good that i listened more sabaton songs, i will always remember that video because it showed me a awesome band, Panzerkampf one of my favorite songs you have made.
My favorite Sabaton song after Rise of Evil!
INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCH!
To me, Panzerkampf remains one of my favorite Sabaton songs because I first found Sabaton with that song.
The last time I came this quicky my gf left me
F
Ohh... buddy :(
ooh
@Otto Ernst Lindemann Lmao all good dude
How sad, you tried joining a library? ;)
Sabaton is the fuel to my love for military history. You go guys! I support you all the way!
Please battle in 1648. its good song of prague
Sorry I'm no time traveler
Awesome video once again! Really love the maps showing the advancements of the armies. Can’t wait for the new album :D
Yeah Eastory is great! thanks!
Allthough I really like this video there's quite a lot of historical inacuracies in it...
Worst one is that General Model was neither a field marshall at this time (he became in january 1944) nor did he command german army group center (that was field marshall von Kluges job) but 9th army AND 2nd panzerarmy at the same time.
Also the whole "battle of prochorovka"-story just seems to follow the sowjet post war propaganda although - as recent studies by e.g. Dr. R. Töppel or Dr. K.H. Frieser showed - it was a total disaster for Rotmistrovs two tank corps who nearly got anihilated with losses of about 300 tanks while the SS-Panzer-Corps in total didn't even lose 20 tanks on 12th July 1943.
Good to see somebody knows a thing about history here.
Thank you for these videos. They are awesome. I love the historical theme of your music and I been introducing all my friends to you.
Haha, that's why our we're getting this many views then ;) Thank you!!
The 2 dislikes are the german commanders
This is quickly becoming my favorite YT series
Battle of Kursk 2024

I have something to look forward to every Thursday now, and I honestly couldn't be happier
I'm ukranian but my great grandfather served in red army guard-lieutenant tаnk commander.
Eternal memory to our ancestors!
5th or 6th Guards Tank Army? I remember reading that the 6th has a good proportion of Ukrainian troops.
I'm so glad we have this channel knowing more abou the songs themselves, and the story behind them is great
If someone want Battle Of Vienna like comment
God Ruty I would like Cannae and Yarmouk.
Winged Hussars?
@@danbalam0218 AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
And yet another great one!! Didn't know the details of this one, so I'm twice as grateful.
Keep up the great work, folks!!
Tanks victor!! (see what i did there?)
with all due respect to indy and sabaton the battle of Dubno is considered to be the largest tank battle not Kursk and indy's tone of hitlers thought about citadel is too optimistic when in reallity hitler said it makes him puke but still it got all the detail after some which I mention correct.
About 6,000 tanks participated in the Battle of Kursk
@@ИванРусский-ц5о the kursk battle is divided into two parts not just one in kursk there were 6,000 in total but if you divivde it the largest battle is the one at the south has 4000 and in dubno there were 5,800+ tanks
@@Marukuzuu In the first, all the battles took place in much larger space, including also the districts of Lutsk, Brody, Rovno. And it lasted for a whole week from 23 to 30 June.
Secondly, what the hell are 5800 tanks ?! If the total list number of tanks in the mechanized corps of the South-Western Front was 3,429 units. In addition, only 3 of the 6 corps were operational, as the rest were at the stage of formation.
The battle included a series of attacks and counterattacks during the week.
If specifically about Dubno, then on June 26, the 43rd tank division of the 19th mechanized corps, using 79 tanks of the 86th tank regiment, broke through the defensive positions of the German 11th tank divisions and by 6 o'clock in the evening broke into the outskirts of Dubno, after midnight it came retreat.
On June 27, only hastily organized detachments of the 24th Tank Regiment of Lieutenant Colonel Volkov and the 34th Tank Division of the brigade commissar Popel headed for the counteroffensive on Dubno. Having crushed defensive barriers, the Popel group in the evening entered the outskirts of Dubno, capturing the enemy’s 11th Panzer Division’s rear reserves and several dozen intact tanks. During the night, the Germans redeployed to the place of the breakthrough part of the 16th motorized, 75th and 111th infantry divisions and closed the gap, interrupting the supply routes and surrounding the Popel groups.
The defense lasted until July 2, when ammunition and fuel came to an end, the detachment, having destroyed the remaining equipment, began to break through from the encirclement. After passing over the enemy’s rear over 200 km, the group entered the location of the 15th Rifle Corps of the 5th Army.
@@ИванРусский-ц5о there was a book which claims dubno was the largest battle check out TIK 's vudeo about it he can explain it better than me
@@Marukuzuu is this book scientific? Was it written by Soviet, Russian or at least French historian (historians of other nations usually don't have an access to Soviet archives or just too lazy to research them. French historians typically use at least some of them). Is it modern research? A lot of archive documents was declassified only after 1991.
