sabaton bismark offical like a movie but their animated story video are awesone like lady of the dark animated story video but to tell ya the truth their live stuff is another level they bring the power to their shows
@1:00 while you definitely didn't have tech like drones keeping guys off the front line like today the vast majority of troops back then just like today are in non combat roles. Soldiers win battles, logistics wins wars and the number of men used to just organize, move and distribute all the stuff necessary to fight dwarfed the guys on the front line. Also not taking away from those men and women, i would 100% rather be a grunt in ww2 than on a ship running supplies back and forth across the Atlantic wondering when a U-boat is going to try and tag my ship.
Nice reaction. And yes, D-Day on the beaches was no joke. From what I understand, the positions in the pillboxes were firing way before any soldiers ever started landing. If you've seen Saving Private Ryan, it was actually a thing that Higgins boats, the landing craft, sometimes took as high as 60% casualties before ever dropping the ramp. That being said, to put D-Day into perspective, Operation: Downfall, the theoretical invasion of Japan, would have taken 1 million men more than the D-Day invasion, had the United States actually invaded Japan, instead of dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The high numbers, particularly casualties, and the lessons learned from D-Day, along with Iwo Jima, are what actually swung the decision in the Pacific to drop the bombs, rather than invade. Of particular importance was that D-Day was able to be prepped for fairly easily; an invasion of Japan, not so much, considering that England is much closer to France than the nearest body of land or island would have been from Japan. So logistics played their part as much as materiél or the boots on the ground did. Even so, more than 4 million men invaded Europe on D-Day, 6 June 1944. And thing is, we are losing those men to the inevitability of death rapidly, their time on Earth coming to a close, as all of our times do at some point. And despite their heroism and courage under fire, to do what they did that June day, I sometimes wonder if what they did was in vain, given the course of history that has happened after, particularly since 2000. It is also why I always make it a point to hear the accounts of battles like D-Day from those who were there, because in the words of those who fought, you always feel as if you are there, fighting alongside the man who is speaking. It is surreal, in how their experiences affect those who would simply sit and listen. For one day, which is coming sooner than you or I think, the only place you will be able to learn about World War II will be from a history book or video, as every man who was there and fought will be gone. Never forget the lessons of history, so that those who fought didn't fight in vain.
I appreciate that you continue to check out Sabaton. There are some fan made videos for this song that fits really well and they are based on the movie "Saving private ryan" and what you see is the scene from the beach when they attack the germans. It would have been an even better experience but this works as well. Btw you talked about inferno and flamethrowers and the allies did actually use that when they got close to the bunkers that the germans used to fire upon the allies that landed on the beach with the very high fire rate machinegun mg42.
Thank you for reacting to this Sabaton song which made them to be more famous :-) I really like this song as well as the official video (world of tanks) - so in Sabaton style ;) The other old and great song with a great video is Screaming Eagles. Liked and Subscribed!
Please react to HammerFall - Brotherhood or Hammer of Dawn, They are a Swedish band formed in 1993, Very heavy, catchy, melodic! They are also one of the big reasons why Sabaton exists
If I was drafted and I could choose which war, I'd choose WW1 or 2, I'd rather have the chance to make a historic story than just be another man behind the controls of a drone
There are some here who look at war is all glory, but boys war is all hell WT Sherman Union general. War is not Glory if you were sent to the trenches of World War 1 you would have died Millions died on glorified deaths there is no glory in war
@@SamGrant-jm6mzthis right here! There's a reason why, no matter what war, soldiers don't want to go back. War ain't fun, war ain't glorious or honorable, it is just death and suffering for everyone.

Another great reaction brother! This song is LIT. God bless all the allied soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. #HOG

In ww1 the German army invented the flamer thrower and poison gas and tried to say a shotgun was a war crime
