"Long hair, gotta be a metal band" Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with

Historical theme: **Exists** Joakims right leg: *"Ah shit, here we go again"*

"He's gonna break his kneecap" Little does he know, Joakim's knees are made of titanium

Sabaton "teaching" history to a history teacher 😎🤟🖤

I think every Sabaton fan giggles a little when they see that they rename the boat Primo Victoria.

1.They have some sponsors such as "Wargaming" 2.Actually this band is bigger than you think 3.They're from Sweden

“I don’t know, but that singer might be able to punch a hole through it.” I totally agree.

History teacher reacts about Bismarck > 5 mins later: "I don't really know much about story so...."

Title should be: "Sabaton teaches history teacher about the Bismarck"

They also have a Channel called Sabaton History were they explain the history behind their songs

Teacher: "So, today we're talking about the largest battleship ever made by the germans." Most kids: "Okay, interesting!" Some kids: "Man, that's boring!" The quiet kid in the back (me): "BISMARCK IN MOTION! KING OF THE OCEAN, HE WAS MADE TO RULE THE WAVES ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS!"

Bismarck: One shots the HMS Hood. Royal Navy: Bullyies the Bismarck with 1 Aircraft carrier 2 Battleships 2 Heavy cruisers and 6 destroyers.

"That singer looks like he could punch a hole in that ship" Nice

Mr. Terry: How do you make a song about the Bismarck? Sabaton: Let us introduce ourselves.

As for the saving him part. There are some unspoken laws in warfare. In this case, if a battleship is sinking, you are not allowed to harm or kill the survivors whilst they are in the water. Same with a dog fight. If a jet is shot down and the pilot is alive and parachuting down, enemy pilots are not allowed to kill him on the ground or whilst going down. It's not an official law but more in the sense of dignity in war. A fair fight, like the song "No bullets fly". There is no honor is shooting down a plane with no defenses.

History teacher: I don't know much about the Bismarck Everyone watching: "starts explaining the whole thing"

Joakim starts to sing " Bismarck " Joakim's right knee: ah shit, here we go again

Alright class what do we know about the Bismark? "THE PRIDE OF A NATION, A BEAST MADE OF STEEL"

Teacher: “today we are learning about the Bismarck.” Me: 😱 Teacher: “who here knows about the Battleship?” Most classmates: (remains Silent) The few who do: “start the music!”

Bismarck: **exists** Swordfish: *Im gonna torp this ship's whole career*

Teacher: Who can summarize WW2? Me: *_Selects Sabaton playlist_*

"Is it sinking? Oh gotta wait for the Guitar solo first" Made my day xD

The story of the Bismarck is one of the most fascinating naval story's of ww2 in my opinion. The brittish feared the ship because of its armor, firepower and speed. Seriously treathening naval supremacy for the brittish. We know what kind of damage the gneisenau caused in the southern Atlantic. Imagine if this beast was released on merchant shipping and escort missions. Might even shifted the balance of war between the Germans and the brittish and forced the brittish on there knees. As someone who wants to study history, this kind of things fascinate me. Ps, thans for taking time reading this commend. I wish y'all a wonderful day. Sorry for some Grammer mistakes. English is my third language.

History Teacher: I gonna teach you some history! Sabaton: Hold my beer...

Yes! Finally, Sabaton! Also, yes, this is their personal niche. Almost every song is Military History.

The Band is from Sweden

"kinda of like a metal band" As a history teacher, I'd think you'd do a little bit of research on the band and what they do lol Don't get me wrong, I love your videos just thought it was a little humorous. And yes. Bismarck displaced 49,500 tons fully loaded and was crewed by 2,065 men. Only around 400 managed to live to abandon ship and out of them, only 114 would live, mostly due to the British abandoning the rescue effort due to a possible U-Boat sighting. One of the men picked up by the Brits died of his wounds and 5 of the 114 were picked by a U-Boat and a German trawler.

"Hes going to break his kneecap" is about the most teacher thing I've ever heard.

“History teacher reacts to Bismarck by Sabaton” “History teacher doesn’t know what the Kriegsmarine are or the story of the Bismarck”

I never thought the day would come were Mr. Terry listened to Sabaton

Teacher: *pronounces Sabaton wrong* *INTO* *THE* *COMMENTSECTION* *THE* *SABATON* *FANS* *MARCHS* !!!!

This is the band that got me into metal, and I’m already a history nut so I fell in love with this band

Sabaton colaborated with Wargaming's World of Warships frr the models and animation.

WWII German Military: -Wehrmacht: German Army -Luftwaffe: German Air Force -Kreigsmarine: German Navy.

"He's gonna break his kneecap" - you, sir, have just discovered Rule 1 of Sabaton. Jocke's right knee is made of more metal than 2000 Bismarcks.

8:45 that is something that actually occurred, after the Bismarck sank the British ship *HMS dortetshire* and other British warships rescued 111 German sailors, (one British sailor even jumping into the water in an attempt to save a German who lost his arms!) before being forced to move out due to a sighting of a German U-boat. The British even offered the Germans blankets and to eat tea and crumpets with them (if I’m right)

“Is this gonna be the Bismarck?” Bismarck: TRIGGERED

Teacher: "Ok class, who know anything about the siege of Vienna?" *Dramatic metal music slowly fades in from the back of the class* Teacher: "w-w- what's happening?" "When the winged hussars arrived!" Teacher: "omg... what is happening right now?" *the classroom shakes violently, dust falls from crumbling mortar as bricks smash and widows crack. Smoke and the ominous thunder of distant artillery fills the air, mingling with the powerful music as a voice begins to sing* Joachim: "A cry for help in time of need, await relief from holy league, 60 days of siege, outnumbered and weak Sent a message to the sky, wounded soldiers left to die, Will they hold the wall or will the city fall?" *The teacher, dumbstruck, adjusts his glasses, the class, enraptured at the terrible truth to which they now find themselves a part of, looking bewildered upon layers of desperate fortification, fighting positions and what looks to be a hopeless city full of starving and fearful people, some young, some old, all resisting, all fighting though outnumbered by a great army of Ottoman Turks, above whom the battle tattered flag of the great Kara Mustafa Pasha proudly flies, his Janissaries move in formation toward a breach in the city wall, but are repulsed by the cities defenders* Joachim: "Dedication, dedication, they're outnumbered 15 to one, and the battle's begun" *the class turns to the sound of distant hoof beats and the clatter of wooden wings, a substantial force of horsemen approach from atop the mountain, but will they be enough? Will they make it in time?* Joachim: "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside. Then the winged hussars arrived, coming down they turned the tide!" *but would they though? The class watches in mute horror as they see the ottoman soldiers carrying explosives into a mine shaft extending nearly a mile from their camp to the walls of the beleaguered city, they mean to destroy their walls! The Janissaries approach in formation, awaiting the blast, anticipating their queue to visit death upon the belligerent city of Vienna.* Joachim: "As the days are passing by and as the dead are piling high, no escape and no salvation, trenches to explosive halls are buried deep beneath the walls, plant the charges there and watch the city fear... Desperation, desperation, it's a desperate race against the mine, and a race against time!" *gallant polish Hussars, winged and glorious bear down upon the gathered army, picking up a breakneck pace as they set themselves into a charge down the side of the mountain, with graceful violence they rush past the startled class, their focus not on them, but rather, upon the gathered host of Kara Pasha... but with the charges set, cam they make it in time? The answer comes in the clash of steel and the crack of cannons as the winged hussars barrel into the surprised janissaries, breaking their ranks and forcing a retreat. All the while Joachim sings:* "Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down the mountainside! Then the winged hussars arrived! Coming down they turned the tide!Cannonballs are coming down from the sky! Janissaries are you ready to die? We will seek our vengeance eye for an eye. You'll be stopped upon the steps of our gate. On this field you're only facing our hate but back home the sultan's sealing your fate" *Joachim is then joined by a chorus of grateful survivors from the city below as they rejoice:* "We remember, in September, that's the night Vienna was freed, we made the enemy bleed!" *Then the Hussars march by chanting;* "Storm clouds, fire and steel, death from above make their enemy kneel..." *then, just as quickly as it had begun, the broken walks of the class reform themselves, leaving a tongue tied teacher, his bewildered class, and a surly looking metal singer standing before them. The teacher says nothing, the class is silent.* Joachim: "and that's what happened at the battle of Vienna," the class bell rings, "class dismissed," he drops his mic and walks out.

Mr.Terry: World war two planes Fairey swordfish: AM I A JOKE TO YOU

Glad to see you liked the video. Sabaton is a Swedish metal band. Around 2008 they were still kinda small, I recall that, but they kept on making amazing music and they grew big. They are pretty big. And this is what they do. They make songs about history of warfare. They also have a history vlog on their KZfaq channel or I don't know, something like that. Their most famous songs are proly about WW2, but they also make songs about heroes from different nations - the Finns and Czechoslovaks stick to me as they are kinda "my heroes", but there are songs about the US marines, the couple of men holding Ardenes, the samurai, etc..... it all seems to me like a huuuge memorial to all men and women that died fighting, whoever they were fighting. Also, speaking of women, Night Witches is a blast! About the russian female bomber regiment. Love it. Plus their songs as metal songs make us fans feel the glory and strength of the war machinery. Like the Bismarck!

It bugs the shit out of me that he missed the dedication in the last few seconds of the video, which would have explained the theme of the video for him, so here it is: "War knows no nation. This video is dedicated to those who fought to the bitter end in the Battle of the Atlantic." Also, in-case it wasn't obvious, the tugboat captain is the young sailor who survived the sinking of the Bismark, the coordinates written into the silver pocket watch he carries are the (apparent) rough latitude-longitude of the Bismark's wreck. 'Kriegsmarine' is the name of the German Navy during World War II, of which the Bismark was the flagship; most ships are referred to as female, Bismark was the only battleship in history to be specifically referred-to as male, hence, 'king of the ocean'. As a side note, it would be interesting to see him react to Sabaton's new album, "The Great War", which revolves entirely around World War I.

History teacher uses and promises to use Sabaton as a tool to teach history. Mr. Terry, you did something the Sabaton fans have wanted for ages. 1m subs is not far in the future

"he is going to break his knees" Little does he know that JoaKim's knees are made out of 50.000 tones of steel

Awesome,came to this video in the recomanded,I'm a huge Sabaton fan,seeing them in concert this summer,subbed, greetings from Romania

The story about a single battleship playing tag with the whole damn Royal Navy for ten freaking days in the Atlantic.

Lyrics : "2000 men and 50 thousand tons of steel" Mr.Terry : "there's 50 men on it?"

The pursuit of the Bismarck is considered one of the most thrilling and exciting naval operations of all times, and this video - for a music video - actually goes a surprisingly good job of telling it's story. If you listen to the radio at the start, you'll hear the commentator say how Bismarck sank the battlecruiser Hood. The first firefight you see is taken from that action, the Battle of the Denmark Straits, the Hood has been sunk, and Bismarck is exchanging gunfire with HMS Prince of Wales. The next action you see shows Swordfish biplane torpedo aircraft flying off HMS Ark Royal, attacking the Bismarck, with one torpedo slamming into her stern. This torpedo was the battleship's nemesis, jamming her steering gear and leaving her uncontrollable. The final firefight is when the British finally sank the German battleship, including the torpedoes being launched from the cruiser HMS Dorsetshire and hitting Bismarck, the last weapons to be fired against her. Officially this cruiser was credited with sinking the Bismarck, although this was only a technicality, as she was the last ship to hit her during the final battle. This video was all made for the song, and the ships are really accurate! Indeed, while I don't pretend to be an expert, I have studied this ship quite a lot, and I can't see anything misplaced on the ship in the video, compared to what she was like in real life. The only slight criticism I would make is in the final battle, you see a ship with four triple turrets fire at Bismarck. There were no cruisers like that in the final action. The nearest was HMS Sheffield, but she was part of Force H (along with the previously mentioned Ark Royal), and didn't take part. It would also have been nice if they had included the battleship HMS Rodney in the final battle. Her 16" guns proved to be totally devastating, with one of their shells taking out both Bismarck's main forward turrets. Still, I suspect the money involved in making this video was already nothing to sniff at, and adding Rodney would have added yet more expense.

He’s a history teacher alright he goes all the way to the play button instead of tapping the middle of the screen

A few cool little tidbits: The Bismarck is referred to with male pronouns in the song exactly as he was in real life, because his captain insisted such a powerful warship could not be referred to as a lady. The orientation of her guns in the video is true to how they were when Bismarck was sunk in real life. All the battle damage she sustained was historically accurate as well. The Swordfish biplanes that damaged her are also a fun fact: being outdated WW1 era planes also meant the advanced targeting systems of the Bismarck's anti aircraft guns were unable to track the slower planes since they were designed to shoot down faster planes. Similarly, the canvas fuselage meant any rounds that hit the planes would overpenetrate and do minimal damage to the aircraft. The radio at the start also reports on how Bismarck sunk the HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, and the subsequent British response to dedicate their fleets in the Atlantic to sinking the Bismarck

The band is Swedish, and yes that is their thing, they do history inspired songs, i personally love how they fuse together historical context and good music, like, the songs have enough historical context to make you interested in the topic they are singing about and research it yourself, but at the same time not too much raw historical data, it is a song after all not a timeline. That combination is working perfectly imo, from their songs i've learned about many historical events and figures i didn't know about before. Oh, as for the video, it is so amazing because this clip was made in cooperation with Wargaming, a game company making a game called World of Warships, that is why the ship models look so beautiful.

Almost all of their songs have a historical background to them. Checkout 1916, The Christmas Truce, and anything else by them. They have been around for about 20 years.

The story of the Bismarck in a nutshell: Kriegsmarine: We shall rule the seas with our mighty Bismarck! England: *_GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!_*

My dad’s a history teacher and he took me to a Sabaton concert.

Mr. Terry: "Does this band have some big-time investors?" Investors: Wargaming

Can't believe that even someone who has never seen or heard of Sabaton literally makes a joke about Joakim's kneecaps within the first 10 minutes of listening to them

I just stumbled across Your channel sir,my elementary history teacher played Sabaton for us about Napoleon,WW1 and WW2,been fan ever since.

Mr. Terry: It's actually about the boat. Me: That's no boat...

The Battleship Bismarck, 251 x 36 meters tall, 50000 tonns of steel, 8x 38 cm Mainguns on 4 Towers, super heavy armor and 2300 men... The proud of Germany and her history is still in many hearts... And don't forget the History of "The lonely Princess of the North, The Tirpitz"!

I recently got into the band after it showed up on a Spotify playlist, they are from Sweden. Every Sabaton Song is a mini military history lesson, they have also in about the last year or so started a separate history channel with a short documentary about the historical events of each song and one of the band members talking a bit more about the song, maybe about writing it, or meeting someone that is a descendant of the person the song is about, or playing near the battlefield where the events took place, all super interesting stuff I've learnt some things from it.

i saw in an interview with sabaton's vocalist that their songs have historical themes because there are so many interesting stories from wartime that too often get forgotten in the annals of history, and that preserving them and being able to learn from them keeps those stories alive.

You missed the important bit at the end, the point of song or video and it was literally telling you a part of what happened, it was teaching you history - it's what Sabaton does.

"They're gonna save him?" Well, the ship was the target, not the sailors.

I'm such a huge fan of Mr. Terry and Sabaton this is a dream to find

The cool thing is; the locket/pendant/pocket watch the Bismarck captain gives the sailor is the same one the captain of the band's boat looks at at the end of the video. This signifies that they are the same person or related.

All of Sabaton's music is based on history, most of it war, but they did an album about the Swedish empire (1628-1707), called Carolus Rex.

Sabbaton bundled up with Wargaming for this video. The World of Warships guys know how to animate ships.

History teacher reacts. Also history teacher: “Ok, gotta wait for the guitar solo” “Ok, now ship is going down...” “Wow, is that how many men were on the ship?” “Long hair...yup def. a metal band” “Also, I don’t know much about this ship.” 🤣🤣🤣. No, really???

This is the first "A History Teacher Reacts" vid I've watched, but he leaves me questioning. The Bismarck had some pretty defining structuring. Just like the Iowa Class and Yamato Class, Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were easy to identify. I'm guessing WWII isn't his strong point in teaching. Even my history teacher (31 years ago) didn't just teach from the book. He taught you the stories that made the history. Anne Frank, Tuskegee Airmen, Bismarck, Yamato.... he made sure you know why those events were so important and the legends behind them. The planes taking off- what carrier was that? Even 31 years later I can tell you- the Ark Royal. THAT is what a teacher can do for you. Ya gotta step outside the books and learn the history behind the history so you can pass it on.

Sabaton Panzerkampf ist very Historical to and Ballad of the Bull or Attack of the Dead Men are Historical too. Sabaton is know to be the most hard working Metal band in that music typ

I don't even remember clicking on this video. I just saw "History teacher reacts to Sabaton" and I'm here.

Fun fact the old captain is the kid that gets rescued because he has the same compass and/or watch

Hey, a sabaton fan here. Yes, they are pretty big, kind of the second row of big bands they are, just behind bands like Iron Maiden or Metallica. They have other great stuff, most of their songs are based on real stories. I recommend Shiroyama, the Last Battle or the Night Witches, if you need something with a little more detailed insight into history and stories. And to answer your last question, they are from Sweden. They have a pretty awesome album about their own history as well.

The Kriegsmarine was the German Navy in WW2 It literally translates to “War Navy”

Sweden in us history books: 😶 Sweden in sabaton songs: ☠☠☠🤘🤘🤘

Terry: Do they have some big sponsors, or maybe they're bigger than I knew? Sabaton: Yes

They also have a Sabaton History Channel on KZfaq where they go into the stories behind the songs

"They're kind of a metal band" Yeah, kind of. 😅

Love the line Bound by iron and blood As that was part of Bismarck’s (the chancellor not the ship) famous speech where he talks about uniting Germany

Fun fact: this video was made a year after the death of the last surviving member of bismarck, the boat guy is his son.

The 2002 documentary Expedition: Bismarck, directed by James Cameron and filmed in May-June 2002 using smaller and more agile Mir submersibles, reconstructed the events leading to the sinking. These provided the first interior shots. His findings were that there was not enough damage below the waterline to confirm that she had been sunk rather than scuttled. Close inspection of the wreckage confirmed that none of the torpedoes or shells had penetrated the second layer of the inner hull. Using small ROVs to examine the interior, Cameron discovered that the torpedo blasts had failed to shatter the torpedo bulkheads

Watch Hunt for the Bismarck by Extra History, or Battle of the Denmark Strait by BazzBattles. Both videos explain the KMS Bismarck’s first and only deployment pretty well.

8:34 Mr Terry- He`s gonna break his knee cap Joakim- Thats my profession

Please do more from Sabaton!? New sub Edit: I just saw them live in October, these guys are truly brilliant!

Seeing the Bismarck just come out the mist like that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

It occurs to me, a historian would read up on the facts to check against the song. Otherwise, this may as well read "Golden retriever reacts..."

Also Sabaton is from the glorious land of Sweden 🇸🇪.

The production quality is incredible

Still love how the bismarck took hours on hours of constant shelling and just didn’t wanna sink so they grabbed torpedoes

My favorite from Sabaton is Winged Hussars. Awesome song and video. They're Swedish. Their latest album is called "The Great War", the songs are all about World War I.

I saw a fricken guy in the live chat saying this must be world war 1, no , those were the only planes they had

This video started something special and wonderful

Sabaton rock and really know their history that's for sure.

History Teacher reacts to Bismarck... "I don't know much about the history of the bismarck".... *FACEPALM*

-History teacher reacts for Sabaton Bismarck Also history teacher: "I dont know history of Bismarck" xD

I had heard about the Bismark as a child: a song by Johnny Horton called the sinking of the Bismark and an old movie called the Sink! the Bismark (1960, so was very excited to see Sabaton had a song about one of the largest battleships in history.

"He's gonna break his kneecap" :D cracked me up. Nice vid man.

"He's gonna break his knee cap." 😂 I'm looking forward to seeing that live in Wacken 🤘🏻 And yes, Sabaton is a bigger deal than you knew. They are from Sweden, and they are known for historically correct songs, mostly about some kind of war. Their new album" The Great War" and is about the stories of World War One. It hit number 1 in the German album charts right away and they are one of the headliners in Wacken this year. Biggest metal festival. 😁

If you want to know more about the Bismarck, Extra Credits did some good episodes all about it. Would also be good for reaction videos

This may be a bit late since this was uploaded a year ago. But if youndidnt already catch it the captain of the boat that the band is on has the pocket watch that the Bismark commander had that wrote the coordinates that the Bismark sank at. The guy was the young sailer that was rescued at the end.

Ship: *exist* Torpedos from planes: Okay, get in.
