Captain of the boat is the actual son of the survivor portrayed in the video.

Welcome down the Sabaton rabbithole guys! So glad you took a chance and watched this. There are so many good songs to choose from,but I would recommend 1916(Motörhead cover),Christmas truce, To hell and back (about Audie Murphy) Carolus Rex,No bullets fly and En livstid I krig (live in Gothenburg,make sure to put on CC since it's in swedish) and Lady of the Dark. And I'm sure someone already told you but Hannes van Dahl the drummer in Sabaton is actually married to Floor Jansen :) Oh,and btw,never cut a Sabaton video short,there are often more stuff coming!

1916 music video from Sabaton is a must. Also No Bulles Fly animated story video.

Welcome to the Sabaton Army! History is what they do so people won't forget what has happened. You might try Christmas Truce, Floor Jensen from Night Wish sings the credits who is the wife of the drummer in Sabaton.

The drummer is Mr. Floor Jansen :D

As for the connection to Nightwish, Floor Jansen of Nightwish is married to Hannes van Dahl the drummer of Sabaton.

Always turn on subtitles when watching Sabaton videos for lyrics.

"No bullets fly" and "Night Witches" animated are a must! Thanks for the reaction! 👍 Also, read about the christmas truce and then watch that video as well. 🙂

The guitar player Tommy Johansson also has this powerhouse of a voice. Please check out his cover of She's Gone. The drummer is married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish

Sabaton's music and videos are historic lessons...

There are so many fantastic songs of Sabaton and you can learn about history at the same time. Christmas truce official video is also great and its about WW1 and great video also

They are an awesome band to see live. They really love to perform and care about their fans. They definitely make history fun to learn (my son has become a huge WW I and WW II history fan from some of their songs). I would check out more of their videos (especially the animated ones that give the history and backstory as well as updates in some like No Bullets Fly and Night Witches and Lady of the Dark.

nice that you liked the song guys! sabaton do not only do great songs but also gives us a reminder of important events in the destructive history of war.

The CGI recreation is pretty damn accurate. The first battle is Bismarck Vs HMS Hood, ship design is spot on. Swordfish Bi planes launched from the Ark Royal and the lone torpedo impact on Bismarck's stern disabling his rudder. The final frames of Bismarck match the exact battle damage from pictures taken during the battle.

Welcome to history the Sabaton way. They have way to many unbelievable songs to mention but Christmas Truce and No Bullets fly the animated story video are really good. Always watch the videos till the end. Excellent reaction from you both as always

Did you know that Sabaton has two KZfaq channels Sabaton and Sabaton history? I would suggest reacting to know Bullets fly (animated version) And then they have so many good songs, but you could do the cover they did recently 1916 (motorhead cover)

All Sabaton songs deserve a listen and promotion.

Sabaton is my second all-time favorite band, topped only by the ever-incredible Nightwish, and followed after by Powerwolf. Together, these three bands form (IMO) the "Holy Trifecta of Metal".

They did this video in a collaboration with World of Warships. Insane production quality! Then again, that is a common theme with Sabaton 😁

I saw Sabaton open for Nightwish in Silver Spring back in 2015. It was a great concert!

"No Bullets Fly" ANIMATED you guys should check that, it's a very nice video from Sabaton and a person who animated the whole story what the song is about.

Oh, by the way, Hannes, the drummer is married to Floor from Nightwish.

Nightwish army u.k checking in for some sabaton Thankyou for sharing your reaction to this great band.

There is no similarity between Nightwish and Sabaton. Nightwish's music is hard rock and opera. Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot. The Sabaton band takes care of everything themselves and they have a total of 100 employees who help with everything and they drive the 12 long-tracks that are used when they tune. Thanks to the band booking gigs, ticket sales, booking hotels and more, they can keep prices low. They handle the sales of clothes, records and souvenirs themselves. Even all these music videos on KZfaq are put up by the band themselves.

Great reaction video ❤ Nightwish and Sabaton are different in style of their metal music. But there is also a connection: the drummer of Sabaton (Hannes van Dahl) is married to the lead singer of Nightwish (Floor Jansen) Suggestion for next one: 1916 or Christmas Truce

Our neighbor that died years ago was a surviving member of the Bismarck. He was pretty miserable for the rest of his days. Poor soul.😢

And when you're at it. Tommy Johansson, one of the guitarist in Sabaton also put out covers on his own channel. He plays all instruments and sing on those covers. This one is a cover of Steelheart's song "She's Gone" Enjoy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ealgeK2huteRf6c.html

They have done this very long time. They had 20 yr anniversary in 2019 as headliner at Wacken. They did half of the 2 hr set with new and old members filling up both main stages at once. Look it up on YT. 😈🤗😎🇳🇴

Nice reaction guys. I've been on a Sabaton binge the past few months. Funny you mentioned Nightwish. Check out "Christmas Truce" Official by Sabaton and make sure and follow the credits at the end and listen carefully for a nice treat. :)

one of the best power metal Songs of the Last few Years love it same like Feuerschwanz Worriors of the world Version!

yes the Bismarck was an impressive technological and beautiful monster. Thanks for your react, and the band Sabaton has more great songs and a nice history channel so stay tuned.

The gentleman with the watch is related to the sailor that is fished out of the sea. One thing to remember when watching their videos always watch to the end. The band takes no side. They bring back the history that has been forgotten and, in some case, never remember. They honor all soldiers, on all sides that gave their lives in service. These guys are awesome in what they do. You won't regret jumping into this rabbit hole.

as a side note here, the name they gave the boat at 3:25 is taken from an older song by the band, from the older setup of the band.

Proud to be Swedish . 👍👍👍😎🇸🇪💕

The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting on her keel at a dept of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft), about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. 48°10′N 16°12′W

One of my favorite Sabaton songs is Primo Victoria, about D-Day. Power Metal also includes groups like Dragonforce, Gloryhammer, Powerwolf, and Imperial Age. The Bismarck was a German battleship that broke out of the North Sea, and terrorized the English fleet, mostly with the destruction of the HMS Hood. It could take damage, had 15 or 16 inch main battery, and was the target of the full UK Navy search. A torpedo jammed its rudder causing it to move in circles, and allow the English fleet to focus on it and target it.

Sabaton are legend for history into metal! CIVIL WAR - invaders album is a must, formed by former sabaton members.🤘🏼🎸

Thanks guys for the reaction, love Sabaton 🤘😎

Internet rumor has it the swinging legs when the band goes up the stairs at the beginning belong to Floor Jansen.

5:36 Power Metal isn't necessarily "heavier" than other metal, it's just made to like...boost you, get you pumped up and hyped

When the Bismarck emerges from the fog…THAT was badass.

Great reaction! Been a fan of Sabaton for quite a while now and finally gonna see them live for the first time this week alongside with Lordi and Baby Metal in Helsinki, Finland. Can't wait! Personally I would recommend you to react to their songs Christmas truce, Race to the Sea or Lady of the Dark

Congrats to your first glimpse into the wonderful world of historically accurate metal. And you should know that while they do cover a lot of stuff from WWI & II, their range goes through all of military history - early modern, middle ages, even antiquity, whatever peaks their interest it seems. Still my absolute favourites are "The last battle" and "No bullets fly" because they tell really interesting and surprising stories.

Important: Sabaton and Nightwish videos must be watched to the very end, that includes credits (they are there for reason). Othervise, great reaction

Sabaton and Nightwish would tour together. In fact, Floor and Hannes bonded over their love of cigars.

Can´t wait til you 2 watch Christmas Truce by Sabaton. The band members are acting in this video of an epic historic moment.

love sabaton

Damn can I just say man's built like a damn tank? Glorious.

The "Bismarck" , and his sister ship "Tirpitz", were the 2 largest battleships ever built in Europe (250 meters long, 36 meters wide, and displacing more than 50.000 tones) and they were the pride of the kriegsmarine (Germany's militari navy) during ww2. The "Bismarck" set sail in May 1941 to reach the Atlantic and destroy merchant convoys, but he was intercepted by the British and during a brief fight, destroyed the former flagship of the British fleet and pride of the Royal Navy, the worldwide famous battlecruiser "Hood", by penetrating her armor and detonating her aft main ammunition magazine and killing all 1400 members of her crew except for 3 men, and heavily damaged the battleship "Prince of Wales". This enraged the prime minister Winston Churcil who ordered all his ships in the Atlantic to abandon their operations and destroy the Bismarck. In total more than 40 ships participated to the hunt, making it the biggest naval hunt in history. Meanwhile Bismarck, who had received a hit during the first battle, was leaking fuel and was trying to reach the French port of Saint Nazaire, in occupied France, for repair. After 3 days of playing cat and mouse with the British, Bismarck was attacked by airplanes launched from the aircraft carrier "Ark Royal" and hit by a torpedo in the stern, which jammed his rudders during evasive manuvers, meaning that he was forced to sail in circles, just a few miles away from reaching air cover. In the end battleships "King George V" and "Rodney", along side the heavy cruisers "Norfolk" and "Dorsedshire" fought the already doomed battleship and, during the following 90 minutes completely destroyed it. However, despite having all his guns destroyed, and having received more than 400 hits (out of the 2800 shells that the British had fired at it) his armor was still mostly intact and the ship was still afloat. So the british launched another 4 torpedoes and he disappeared beneath the waves. After inspection of the wreck however it had been discovered that the torpedoes did no significant damage thanks to the battleship's extensive underwater protection, and that Bismarck had probably been scuttled by his crew (although it should be noted that many historians believe that it would have eventually sunk due to the damage received). Of the 2200 men that served on it only 114 survived

Best Sabaton song imo

More Sabaton please! 😊

The video was paid for by Wargaming, as a tie in to their game "World of Warships". The studio (located in Kiev, in case you were curious) did all the ship animations and tried to get the CGI as accurate to history as possible. The final shot of Bismarck burning, for example, is exactly accurate to the last photos of Bismarck before he sank.

One of the most interesting things about the story of the Bismarck was its battle against Britain's flagship, the HMS Hood. The first shell to hit the Hood caused the ship to violently explode and sink in a matter of minutes, killing all but a handful of the crew. It got one-shot, and based on a documentary I saw where they went and investigated the wreck of the Hood to figure out how it sank, it was such a lucky one-in-a-million shot. The shell went through the deck armour, through a relatively small gap in the armour, and straight into the room with all of the ammunition charges for the front guns. Those charges were meant to propel the shells from the cannons. So a ton of explosive charges stored in one armoured compartment. From any other angle, there would have been too much armour around the ammunition storage for that shell to reach it. And the Hood was turning when it was hit. Not only was it a moving target from a long distance, but it was in the process of turning from sailing straight towards the Bismarck to lining up a broadside, so it was changing direction, too. Such a tragically lucky shot.

Buen video. Mi nombre es BISMARCK saludos de Costa Rica 🤟🤟🤟

bismark and tirpitz where churchills nightmares. before she sank the bismark took an massive beating but refused to die, instead the crew chose to scuttle her. RIP to her crew and the hood, enemies in life, together in death.

The old Man with the compass is taking Sabaton back in time to watch the shadows of Bismarck and her life span/Battles. He is the young Survivor you see in the video.

Bad ass would of paid attention in school if history is like that need to do NIGHT WITCHES ANAMATED VIDEO AND NO BULLETS FLY keep rocking y'all cool

Finally someone that doesn't stop every 10 seconds, nice

Have a look at Sink The Bismark! - Full Documentary .

🤘 Sabaton 🤘 singer 🤘 Joakim Brodén 🤘

night witches is really good

Oh...you have a long way ahead...Be sure you will not run out of tissues! Greetings from Greece!

Sabaton often incorporates riff sounds from a certain type of culture, 4:25 is an example of a german sounding riff, they also have made balkan influenced, swedish, asian and middle eastern, i think it's a pretty cool idea.

Not sure what the official definition is of Power metal, but for me it's very melodic with clear lyrics (usualy alot of high notes) and a big focus on the guitar. This music video was made in collaberation with a Video Game developer, who made the game "World of Warships" as well as "World of Tanks" and "World of Warplanes"

Welcome to history class Sabaton style! It's a rabbit hole you don't want to leave. These guys are one of a kind. I also invite you to check out Tommy Johansson. He he has a KZfaq channel. His covers of songs are amazing. Another rabbit hole you want to go down. More Sabaton please. Christmas Truce is a must.

Nice, Thank You. Do more Sabaton (Sweden) and Nigtwish (Finnland) / Both know each other 🤣🤣 Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan❤‍🔥

There are a lot of amazing metal bands from Sweden and from Finland. Many of them have collaborations. Nightwish had a problem in the US when their singer got sick, and the singers from other metal bands (Elize and Alizza, backup singing for Kamelot, but also in Amaranthe and The Agonist) stepped up and took her place. It's like one big metal family. Competition, sure, but everyone knows that the fans spread word about other good bands, and in the end there will be more for everyone.

Need to watch Primo Victoria from Sabaton. Based on D Day and the Normandy landings

Sabaton = a true history lesson on wars since the dawn of mankind

Sabaton is a huge rabbithole of music, history!! Their cover of 1916 is a cover of motörhead and the musicvideo is something else in the world of musicvideo. Christmas Truce is heart breaking and also a big recomendation also The Lion from the North. And the song A life time of war makes the audience sing with like nothing else then they do it in Swedish here at home. They are a live band in a whole new level so I would recomend some reaction on live performances to for some sings!! Guess its kind of clear iam a huge Sabaton fan 🤣🤟🏼

Ein Hoch auf unsere Tapferen Matrosen des Stotlzen Schlachtschiff Bismarck. Ruht in Frieden Kamarden.

Fun fact: the older gentleman with pocket watch is the son of a survivor from the Bismarck

Also watch their history channel for more info, great way to learn stuff.

Blind Guardian - The bard's song & Valhalla, live Wacken 2016.

Power metal is extremely melodic and often allso often showing connections to folk music. Sabaton is borderline power metal. Bands like helloween and rhapsody are living the power metal

I also recommend watching "SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)", it's an emotional song in Swedish with amazing crowd, and if you react to it turn captions on so you can understand what he sings, the english version is "A Lifetime of War" but the lyrics aren't the same and in my opinion doesn't pack the same punch in terms of emotions.

Bem vindos ao mundo do SABATON, por curiosidade o baterista é casado com a Floor Jansen do Nightwish, espero que façam a reação das músicas: NO BULLETS FLY / CHRISTIMAS TRUCE / GREAT WAR Live / DEFENSE OF MOSCOW / SOLDIER OF HEAVEN

BTW Sabaton has their own history channel.

also no group has ever made a music video out in the sea on a boat like that

sabaton history is their history channel

my dad fought in WW2. i studied US history and World Affairs in school.

Beside the name of the band. Sabaton = "A sabaton or solleret is part of a knight's body armor that covers the foot." More info on Wikipedia for those that are interested.

History with a beat 😊

I dare you to find a kickboxer with a worse beaten thigh then Joakim Brodén, the man is a beast

"En livstid i krig - Live in Gothenburg" with subtitles. Thats your 100% next reaction. Its their heaviest power ballad song, preformed in Sweden in front of 14000 in the crowd... Its just.. breathtaking... just dont forget to put subtitles on

The video of the Bismarck was done by world of warcraft

To really enjoy power metal check out keeper of the seven keys by helloween Ofc I want you to see the pumpkins united live version, but the album version is allso ok😊

Bismarck and Tirpitz the only 2 ever made, one can argue that the Yamato was even bigger which it was for Japan but not as revered

I would recommend stormtroopers by Sabaton also

The more interesting part is that every single scene tells an actual thing that happened in that hunt for the Bismarck. Some not even in very obvious ways. Like, when that flying boat passes above them instead of the Bismarck, yeah, the British first mis-identified another ship as the Bismarck. Or when the ship turns over and turrets fall off, yeah, they found them separated from the main wreck. Etc. Very little is just for cinema sake. The only things wrong as I see are: - the same British admiral seems to be in charge the whole time. This was not the case. - the shell that detonated the Hood is shown plunging into the water near the ship, which was the older theory of how it hit below the belt armour. A newer one is slightly different. But you can't fault Sabaton for not knowing what the historians would reconstruct AFTER the song was released.

This is Sabaton metal

Next Stop "1916". Cover of a Motörhead song. Maybe do both versions. Prepare for some tears.

oh the aircraft are swordfish, lovingly nicknamed the stringback because there was nothing they couldnt' carry. ww1 aircraft used into ww2 as the brit naval airforce had nothing better at the time due to arguements with the engine makers. a vc was awarded to a pilot of the stringbag who was ordered to attack the sharnhorst during its run up the english channel. their aircover never arrived in the spitfires, but the crew pressed on regardless knowing it was a suicide run. they were mercilessly cut down by the luftwaffe, but the captain of the scharny said it was the most magnificent thing he had ever seen. these men charging in knowing it was death but going anyway. and sadly it was swordfish who gave the japanese the idea and tech for pearl harbor after they did it first at taranto in italy torping the italian fleet in its harbour. an american lt realised the danger and warned the head command and was ignored. the japanese on the other side went to the harbour and got as much info as they could and from it pearl harbour was borne.

1916, motorhead cover, absolutely..........please

En livstid i krig-Live from Gothenburg next ❤

sabaton also has a history channel called "sabaton history"

Heja Sverige

Power metal a very melodic genre

One thing that's worth pointing out for you future Sabaton-adventures - never, EVER, stop a video until it's completely over by itself. Sabaton videos usually (almost always) isnt truly over til the video ends itself. Just fyi. And it's worth it. This particular video was somewhat alright to stop before it was actually fully over, you did "only" miss one more sentence in that final text on the screen. So in short, never ever stop a Sabaton video because you *think* it's over. Let their videos play til the video literally ends itself . Welcome aboard the Sabaton train. Fun fact, Sabaton's current drummer is the husband of Floor (vocalist of nightwish), they're expecting their 2nd child atm (iirc).
