This od about the battle of Wizna. Where 720 Poles defended a fortified line for three days against more than 40,000 Germans.

my grandfather fought under the Wizna, praise the heroes!

Actually Sabaton is from Sweden and they make songs about historical events and they have some songs about Poland

40:1 is a number of soldiers in Battle of Wizna. There Where 40 german soldiers for 1 Polish soldier, but Polish army was still fighting, untill all of them were dead. And long Time ago, Spartans have their own Battle with Persians in Thermopylae, when there Where 40 Persians to one Spartan Soldier. So 40:1 in Sabaton's song means that Wizna is Polish Thermopylae.

it's a Swedish band, but it deserves recognition in the eyes of Poles because it is one of the few foreign bands that sings so many songs about our history. In addition, they consider us a brave nation and in one of the interviews they said that no one fought so much for freedom and was brave alongside the Scots and the Finnish.

Jestem Polakiem i tego się nie wstydzę lecz gdy słyszę ten utwór pieści się zaciskają serce kuje a w oku łza.

Jestem bardzo wdzięczna za to że Sabaton muzycznie odrobinę Historii śpiewa/powstrzymuje... Historię walczącej Polski nie da się opisać/zaśpiewać... Hołd i Chwała Bohaterom.🇵🇱🦅🇵🇱

Cześć i chwała bohaterom!!! Chwała wielkiej Polsce 🇵🇱

I love Poland 💕🇵🇱

"The captain has pledged his life I'll face my fate here' This line is telling about cpt Raginis who commanded the polish forces which defended Wizna. There were 720 men fighting in few bunkers trying to stop whole german panzer corp - about 40.000 of men and 500 tanks. Impossible mission, but Raginis swear that he will defend his position or die defending it. After three days of fighting all the bunkers fall and there was only the command bunker which was still fighting. Almost all defenders were dead. Cpt Raginis was heavily wounded. Germans were furious that they cannot brake polish resistance send an emissary, with demand that remaining soldiers should give up in an hour or they will shot all captured polish soldiers. Then Cpt Raginis ordered soldiers who was with him in bunker to come out and give up. He stay in bunker alone and kill himself with hand granade. From the 720 polish soldiers defending Wizna germans took about 70 prisoners, rest of the defenders died in battle.

40:1 means for every 1 polish soldier germans have 40 soldiers

"commander we're surrounded", "-perfect, now we can shoot in all directions"

I was lucky to know personally one of the defenders of Westerplatte in September 1939, who was my cousin's grandfather. A wonderful warm man - a real hero, who was taken prisoner by the Germans after the capture of Westerplatte. He managed to escape from a German camp disguised as a woman and returned to his family in 1945. He died in 1999. Honor and glory to the heroes !!!

The way you cross yourself when the part about remembering a fallen soldier comes, that just shows how much of respect you have mate 🙏🏼 bless u

Dziękuję za Szacunek dla Polski

We don't say ,,How many" only ,,Where"

Respect for You bro for having respect for Poland!

5:13 40 to 1 mean that in this war for one Polish soldier there were 40 Germans to be killed (e.g. 100 poles vs 4000 germans)

Szacunek dla ciebie za to ze jestes chzescijaninem w dzisiejszych czasach

like in the end of the unconquered. We dont beg for freedom we fight for it

Najsilniejszą armię świata ma Kraj nad Wisłą. Inni mają po prostu lepiej uzbrojone. Dumny. Dziękuję, za informowanie świata o moim kraju.

The best part of it's that they are not from Poland. They are from Sweden. 40:1 means that on every 1 polish soldier there was 40 soldiers of our enemies.

Witaj, dziekuje ci serdecznie za te filmy bo podtrzymujesz pamiec naszej historii, czego czesto nie potrafia moi rodacy , wszystkiego dobrego bracie

Polish rock reaction: Sabaton - Winged Hussars

Thanks a lot. Greetings from Poland!

It’s a swedish band and they sing about history.They have a history channel here in KZfaq but still You have to react to Ghostdivison Uprising and of course 40:1 Live in Woodstock 2012 in Polen 🇵🇱

I don't know how much this is true (especially today), but I remember years ago when I heard someone making fun of the skills of soldiers of other nations. He commented on it with these words: "In the United States, training a soldier takes as much as learning to drive a car in Poland. The average Polish infantryman is trained like special forces in other countries." There are a lot of historical stories about how Polish mercenaries managed to change the face of the battle. If there was a battle at all. Apparently, during the 1000 years of our documented history, there have been cases when the enemy gave up knowing that he would have to fight against the Poles. Another anecdote I cannot confirm to be true. Hitler allegedly attacked Poland in the first place, hoping for a successful blitzkrieg because he knew that after defeating the Poles, the rest of Europe would not be a challenge. And there are plenty of such curiosities (although they sound like megalomania). The best English fighter unit? Polish people. The best unit of Napoleon? Polish people. One of the best melee weapons in the world? Katana? No, Polish hussar saber. Who was the first to end US slavery? Pole. Who designed the vehicle the Americans rode on the moon? Try to guess. There are a lot of such things. That's why I'm always pissed off when I hear a Pole complaining that Poland is a junkyard in Europe. Because a fact. We have our downsides. For example, Poland in the times of being a kingdom was the greatest power only when a puppet of another country sat on the throne. We achieve the most under the patronage of others because we cannot govern ourselves ... but it is difficult for good governance in a country where everyone knows best XD

Never underestimate the Polish fighting spirit. The enemy may have a huge advantage in numbers, but he will pass to our land only over our death bodies. 40: 1 is supposed to mean the numerical superiority of the Germans over the Polish army that day. Our soldiers always fight to the end. Greetings from Poland

"Poland first to fight" Chanel : historia bez cenzury type that in yt and pick first video ... worth to watch ..

Bóg Honor Ojczyzna - pamiętamy

Glad You reacted to this, just the translation lyrics on the video are completely wrong. Proud to be Polish 🔥❤️

Woodstock 2012 ,,Sabaton"❤

Greetings from Poland!!! :)

The best is the live concert of the Sabaton at Polish Woodstock.

The Swedish band "Sabaton" honoring Poland and Warzawa, where about 1000 Polish men and women stood strong against 40 000 Nazis. You must see Sabaton live concert in Poland from 2012 ...it will give you goosebumps! Over 500 000 in the crowd who knows every word from this song! And a gigantic Polish flag rolled out over the crowd. If you want to hear the whole story behind this. You can always go to Sabaton history channel (Yes they have their own history channel!) ...There they will explain everything better than I do. ALSO pls check up their song "Uprising" ...Its about the same thing....and just as powerful!!!!

every time I listen to this song it gives me shivers POLISH POWER

40 out of 1, because in this battle known as the Polish thermopylae, there were 40 German soldiers per one Polish soldier. The defense lasted 3 days, and the Germans had serious problems to cross this border. It is worth noting that Poland had inferior weapons and had only infantry and bunkers in this battle, and the Germans had infantry, armored brigades and air support. The Poles in this battle had only about 700 infantry soldiers, and the Germans had 42,000 soldiers, 350 tanks and a lot of aviation support. It is worth mentioning Captain Władysław Raginis, who swore that he would not leave the battlefield alive and when he ordered the last 40 soldiers to surrender, he blew himself up with a grenade to fulfill the oath and not be captured by the Germans.

I'm a metal head, and yeah not worried about this guy first reaction..was glad to see this guy react to music I love, and I never heard before..really awesome..

Great reaction, keep it up man!

Thank u for good reaction 🙏

My first time listening to them also..awesome

Well, Sabaton is metal band for Sweden, They make music about history from around the globe (mostly military). Best known Polish metal band would be Behemoth and Vader. There are too many nuances in this song (in many of their songs) to point them in comment but: Captain faced his fate - Commander of Polish defence sad before the battle that He will rather die than surrender, and when crew of his bunker finally surrendered (none supplies, meds, ammo etc...) He just hug a grenade to his chest fulfilling his promise. I could go like this for hours, but it's just a comment :) And it's not about how strong Poland was, rather how da*n stubborn pols were and how we was ready to face and unthinkable odds 40:1 about 40 000 germans versus 720 poles.

Sabaton is a Swedish rock group

Poland - exists Russia and Germany - Its Free Real Estate

I like how focused you are in this reaction, good shiet.

Sabaton-Hussars is verry good song the best cavalery in the world 😀

Its a swedish band, and we do love poland so… our neighbours

They put out the song. A fan made a video to it. By the time Sabaton found out about the video they were major stars in Poland because of it. The video had some copyright problems but this video is in honor of the original fan made video.

If you want to learn more about war history I recommend sabaton, they have a lot of songs as well as videos explaining the history behind the songs

Respect for you and Swedish metal

Dzień dobry jestem Polakiem i uwielbiam cię oglądać.

U must react for SABATON - Uprising (OFFICIAL LIVE) from the concert. There is power

Wishing you the best

Bc in first atack we hav only 1 soldier for 40 enemy but we still maintain a long time for warning rest of country.

Awesome man, youve got so much respect. I wish we could have a world where praising the dead wouldnt be needed. God bless you!

Polish colonel : "we have to retreat , we are being heavly outnumbered" Polish commander : " i don't fucking care , hold ur ground"

It means 40 german soldiers to 1 polish soldier. This is battle of Wizna during World War II.

Who else is listening to this while reading "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels? It's like the relaxing vibe is mixing with the metal and creating a balanced person....or something like that.

forever in our memory and prayer

40:1 means the for 1 polish soldier fighting with 40 germans :)

German: give up youre outnumbered 40:1 Poland: *laughs in fending them of for 3 days WITHOUT completed defence (remember they missed equipment and the bunkers were not all finished)*

Check Uprising by Sabaton. It says a lot about Warsaw and is my fav from this group. Thanks for reacting to this one you reminded me my teenage times when i used to listen to it.

40:1 means that 1 polish soldier had to fight with 40 german soldiers because in the battle of Wizna 1000 polish soldiers were defending the town for three days against 40000 german soldiers. If we look at it from the math side 40000 / 1000 = 40 so here we have 40 : 1

sabaton sang it at a concert in Germany

CZEŚĆ I CHWAŁA RZECZPOSPOLITEJ POLSKIEJ

Thanks 💙💚💙💛💛

Next: sabaton- uprising 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Captain said that until he is alive, his soldier Will not surrender. So when he saw that they are loosing he killed himself and told his soldiers to surrender. You should see the same song from Woodstock festival. And ofcourse uprising from the same festival 😁

Really great material. I'm the real Polish. Nice attitude, very professional, I have the great respect for You. Many of my ancestors were fighting, like heroes.

I recommend reaction to more Sabaton songs, not only is it great music but you can learn a lot of very interesting stories that deserve to be remembered. By the way this is a Swedish band not Polish. They sing about the history of many nations and there are several other songs about Polish history, for example "Inmate 4859" (about Wojciech Pilecki who was like secret agent in Auschwitz death camp and he helped many people to escape from there) or "Uprising" (about Warsaw uprising in 1944), but there are songs much better than theese, so You have a lot of amazing songs to react. Greatings from Poland :) (and sorry if I made any mistakes, my English isn't perfect)

.. greatings from Poland

From Poland gretings

Record reactions to new sabaton songs waiting for this super video

5:56 this water bottle is legendary

Defense of Wizna on September 7-10, 1939. 700 Polish soldiers fought against ... - 42,000 German soldiers. - 350 tanks. - 657 grenade launchers, - Luftwafe air support About 50 Poles were captured, the rest of them died.

pozdro :)

Sabaton "Uprising" 🤘

you said "glorify".. which i think is the perfect word to use. YAS

The Battle of Wizna, also called as "Polish Themopylae". About 350-700 Polish soldiers (quite often you can find information about 700 soldiers) lead by 20 officers had to stop the Nazi Germany invasion of about 42,200 soldiers, 350 tanks, 657 of mortars and gun artillery and also 600 Luftwaffe planes support. The Polish army equipment was at least 20 years old and during the times of invasion, a lot of our tanks and planes has been serviced, which means they were unable to support troops. They fought for 3 days. As they ran off ammunition, cpt. Władysław Raginis did order survived soldiers to surrender. Only a few dozens of soldiers was captured as POW - the rest was killed during fights. However cpt. Raginis, as he promissed to not let enemies take the Polish lands untill he's alive, he suicide himself with a hand grenade in the bunker. The accurate losses are still unknown for both sides. The only confirmed informations are that Wermacht did lost at least 10 tanks and some armored vehicles in that battle. No wonder why they were calling us the "Black Devils"...
