We, Poles, have had to defend our borders so many times in our history that we have been instilled from childhood that we fight for our land to death, regardless of whether we are a man, a woman, an old man or a child. It is an honor for us to die in defense of our homeland.

This song is about the Battle of Wizna (7 September - 10 September 1939) according Wikipedia there were between 350-720 Polish soldiers against 40.000 German soldiers. Keep in mind this is just one battlefield on the Polish Western front.

This is about the Polish Thermopolis. 1 Polish Battalion held up Gudarian's Panzer Corps for 3 days. The Germans changed the structure of their Panzer Divisions as lessons learned from this fight - they replaced 2 Panzer Battalions with 2 Motorized Battalions in each Division.

It's about 720 polish soldier's holding back approximately around 40,000 germans for three days

"There where 700 Polish soldiers. Lead by Captain Wladislav Reginis. They faced over 40,000 German soldiers. They where outnumbered 40:1!" - Joakim Broden introducing the song at Woodstock.

720 polish troopers held 42000 force of Hans Guderian for 3 days and gave time to fortify Warsaw.

You missed out man, you should have listened to the live version at Woodstock Poland. To compensate I would recommend listening to the Woodstock version from "uprising" by sabaton. I still get goosebumps from that clip. again, Uprising, sabaton woodstock. their best performance!

It was a battle between a Polish captain and even a German general. Captain Raginis had very little strength and means to fight the enemy. They were small to defend the 10 kilometer (6.21 mile) section of "Wizna". They included: 3rd heavy machine gun fortress campaign, 8th rifle campaign with 3rd battalion of the 135th Infantry Regiment and a platoon of mounted scouts, 136 reserve company of sappers, three platoons of 75 mm guns, a platoon of pioneers. In total, the defense crew of the "Wizna" section consisted of seven hundred privates and non-commissioned officers and twenty officers. Its armament consisted of five 75 mm cannons, 24 heavy machine guns, 18 erkaems and two anti-tank rifles. The German group sent to fight in the "Wizna" section numbered approx. 42 thousand. soldiers, 450 tanks and armored guns, 274 guns and mortars, and 195 anti-tank guns.

The Polish Army actually fought viciously against the mighty Wehrmacht. The whole thing about them not putting up a fight is a huge myth that needs to be debunked! German general Heinz Guderian was concerned, because his troops didn't perform quite like he expected. The Germans also had to rethink their national logo on their vehicles too. The pure white cross could be seen from great distances and it turned out that the Poles were using the white crosses as aiming points! After the Polish campaign, the Germans filled in the white crosses with a black cross with a small white background and this helped immensely.

Sabaton , one the great bands that put history in to song.

"Spirit of Spartans" or Polish Hussars in Middle Ages, also fought in unequal battles.

Deff should be doing Sabaton History, great reaction

check out Sabaton History and find out about the storys fram all songs

17% of Polish popuplation ware killed during IWW (after German Russians occupied Poland for next 50 years). This song is more about tough defence of Polish soliders (not only in Wizna but in many points) dispite of lack of tanks, planes and waapns and fact that Russins attacked Poland from back (never forget that at the begining of the war Stalin was Hitler ally for almsot 2 years, gicing him alloy and fuel). Poland harm a lot German army (almost the same as France with bigger and better army).

Hi mate We will never surennder!!!! God, Honour, Fatherland forever!!! Best wishes from Poland m8

SABATON🔥💥 ALWAYS AMAZING SO MUCH POWERRRRRRR💪💪💪💪💪 PERFECT 👌🤘 Video SUPER and OF course THE MUSIC.

The plan was for Poland to hold for two weeks, then France attacks undefended Germany from the west, followed by Britain. France and Britain wussed out. Poland held for four weeks, the last two after the Soviets attacked from the east.

Nice .Hellooo from Poland

Great reaction and subbed gained 😎🤘 there was roughly around 1,000 polish soldiers against almost 20,000+ German soldiers and they held them off true warriors

Cheers from Pearland, Texas. Polacy są nie do zajebania!

6 milion that counts for 20% of population in 1939

We lost 16% population in WWII !

Poland lost 16%-17% of their total population by the end of WW2. The highest per capita death rate of WW2.

700. .42000 and they hold them for 3 days

The drummer of Sabaton Hannes van Dhall is married to Floor jansen..

Not sure if you know but this song is about battle of Wizna in Poland during WW2 les then 1000 Polish soldiers hold for 3 day 40.000 German soldiers fighting like Spartans and hold Germans with altilery and tanks to come and destroy a city near River Wizna

As for the numbers thing. Poles were outnumbered in their history in most battles we fought. In Battle of Hodów in 17th century we fought 400 vs 40 000 and won, we had battles where 40k strong would go against 150k Russians and we would demolish them or 3k vs 12k Swedes that would end up with 100 dead, 200 wounded while swedes lost 8k troops. Polish history is full of battles like that and just as Spartans, we do not ask how many enemies there are, but where they are. We stopped Mongol horde, we stopped Tatar horde, we stopped Ottoman empire, we stopped Bolsheviks in 1920. In fact if you look at Polish fighting prowess it makes you wonder why greatest warriors are compared to Spartans instead of Poles. Due to Poland's location we had to fight constantly throughout our history and we are good at it too. Polish morale is unbreakable as we unite like crazy when under threat and we are a nation that 'gets the job done'. As Napoleon once said "Send the Poles, there is nothing impossible for them." and that fighting spirit never died. Many polish soldiers in the past had shown courage bordering insanity (ie. Black Devils in WW2 or Squadron 303 in Battle of Britain). Throughout our history we also got in trouble only when we had 2-3 nations ganging up on us... So yeah, you better outnumber us by a lot if you hope to break us.

If the number had been 1:1 nazi germany would never had a chance to occupy Poland, thats why they needed some help from Stalin to be sure to conquer Poland

100% truth Poland History ww2

I cordially greet you and I am very proud that you are interested in the history of Poland. I would like to draw your attention to a small fact Polish Thermopylae is the battle of Zadwórze. There, against 15,000 of the Soviets, 330 Lviv Eagles were issued. They all died. In any case, few survived. Hello and Glory to the Heroes. Sorry, my english is translated by uncle google.

The drummer is Hannes van Dahl. He is a great drummer! Fun fact: He is married to Floor Jansen, the Dutch vocalist from Nightwish :)
