Sick video! what other Sabaton music videos should we check out? Make sure to write a comment letting us know and subscribe!

The captain on the boat was the son of the rescued sailor, who died about a year before this song was released (if I remember correctly).

Sabaton does not do things by half. Their music videos are epic and well done. "Christmas Truce" used a professional movie crew. They have some videos on their channel that show the making of the videos and they also have Sabaton History Channel which explains the history behind the songs. This video was made in conjunction with the video game World of Warships. "Steel Commanders" was made in conjunction with World of Tanks. Great reaction.

"that must be animated, right?" Meanwhile some metal dudes in Sweden: *"I mean, what if we actually build the Bismarck again...?"*

lots of sabaton viedos to explore, it's perfection

The video is a historically accurate recreation of the sinking of the Bismarck. The swordfish biplane of the fleet air arm landing a small torpedo hit which jammed Bismarck's rudder allowing the allied fleet to catch him. There are some who debate whether British torpedoes sunk him or whether the crew scuttled the ship. But its an academic argument Bismarck was defeated the only possible outcomes at that point were sinking or capture.

Apparently the actor playing the older fishing boat captain they meet at the beginning is the actual son of the IRL version of the young sailor you see escaping the sinking battleship. The compass with the coordinates is real, though they used a prop for the video.

Want more awesom,e videos with the same production quality then I recommend Steel Commanders, Fields of Verdun, Christmas Truce just to name a few from Sabaton

Guys don't miss them in Copenhagen at Royal Arena on 30th April (Low ticket warning) they always put on some great live shows

The animation came from the company that made World of Tanks, they brought out a battleship version of that game at the time and they colaborated with Sabaton.

If no one has mentioned this, the name they gave the boat @ 1:39 is taken from an older song by the band, from the older set up of the band.

Sabaton tells the forgoten Personal Storys from the Soldiers there was in war in the History

King George V was firing, Rodney was firing, Dorsetshire launched torpedos and yet the Bismarck was afloat. In the end it was the crew that scuttled the ship to keep him away from the Brits. The first battle scene is Bismarck damaging Prince of Wales, the Swordfish plane damaging the rudder with a torpedo is accurate too and the second is Bismarck and Rodney exchanging fire.

Christmas Truce is a definite must see!

This is the best way to learn about history , and for almost every one of there songs they have a "Sabaton History Channel" video that gives you the history then a little about way they did that topic. you got 10 albums to go. Keep in mind they have Official Music video's / Live / Lyric / Animated Story / Fan Made to choose from. "Christmas Truce" - official music video - WW1 "Rork's Drift" - Lyric video - this month was the Anniversary of the battle "En livstid i krig" live from the Great Tour in Gothenburg - official live video "No bullets fly" the animated story just a few to get you started

The Bismarck was a mighty battleship of course the Germans thought he was untouchable when the HMS Hood was sank royal navy flag ship Churchill sent every destroyer, battleship, cruiser after the Bismarck which sealed it's fate

A ship so furious in power that Captain Lindemann referred it to "he".

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

I'd reccomend their track steel commanders for you guys. The video is packed with similar production techniques and action.. It also rocks balls which is awesome too!

Perhaps you would enjoy watching how they made this video, check out: SABATON - Making of the "Bismarck" Music Video

There`s always somebody to tell the tales

Nice reaction, you noticed a lot of things people miss, like the splash of the water when the bomb hits the ocean. Please react to Primo Victoria.

Tommy Johannson, tha guitar player has his own channel, he does covers and uploads a new video every friday..He has a very high range and is amazing check out she's gone cover by him from the band Steelheart ❤

I love Sabaton. I have learned so much about history from their songs and videos. 🤘

You should try some of the older songs aswell. Not all their songs is about history, first album is just heavy metal. But the album art of war and carolius rex are both awsome

You like this Sabaton video? You should check out the Christmas truce. It will blow your mind. Now the Bismarck was the flagship of the german navy in WW2. It was the biggest ship out there and it sank the hms Hood the flagship of the British navy. So the British hunted that ship and eventually sank it. The story of that seaman you see in the video is true and the older guy is actually his son. The story is amazing. Now the other video you should watch is the Christmas truce. That happened in WW1. An amazing historic fact that you should check out first. The video will blow your mind

The band took that boat, cleverly named after another of their big songs, 'Primo Victoria'.... out to the oceanic resting place of The Bismarck, to record the video. They don't just tell stories, they live them, when possible. Drummer, Hannes Van Dahl is married to Nightwish singer, Floor Jansen. And lead guitarist Tommy Johansson is a secret power metal GOD on his YT channel!

Could you react to the official music video of Christmas Truce? It’s listed on KZfaq as SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Music Video). The official music video is definitely the best version for a reaction. If you do react to it, be sure to listen all the way through; the song continues during the end credits.

If I told at that time most people had hardly no idea why they live free and happy because they fighted died with there lifes I wonder if suddenly you suffer such a great threat and 50 years later noone remembers why you fighted the trheat but the clima threat will teach you later noone will remember your suffer

I am only a low performing music creator with no clue about video creation. So you guys give me so much insight. Thx mates!

Crazy how german the accent of the nordics often sounds.

I believe they worked with the studio that does the animation for the world of tanks game for this video.

Bismarck was a huge danger to merchant shipping as well as the Navy, it threatened Britain's food supplies from Canada, if it was allowed to escape further into the Atlantic. The ship had sunk HMS Hood, so we had to send everything we had to destroy the Bismarck.

I mean Sabaton is ...SICK, they are an awesome band if you like history and rock music

You should really check out Christmas Truce, that video is fantastic. And I just must say that there is just 55h until I'll see Sabaton live.

Or you can actually can watch how it's done. There's video of it...just saying

Hej Bismarck er lavet til World of Warships. Den næste i skal høre er Steel Commander det er en super melodi. Sabaton har fået deres egen kampvogn i spillet World of Tanks.

Ship.

Hej Sabaton har deres egne Sabaton History kanal hvis i vil vide mere om deres musik. hilsen Kampvogen fra Danmark

See the picture. The story telling. It’s how pro look. Then the details are solved

Sabaton is so good, they make you feel patriotic for countries you’ve never even been to😂 even if it’s in a battle with your own country.

Could you please react to Hammerfall- Hammer of Dawn or (We Make) Sweden Rock (Official Lyric Video)

Are you commenting the videoeffects or the music?

If you don't want to upset some naval personnel I recommend calling them Ships. Boats are apparently a bit too simple for them ^^ Practically I think it basically comes down to Size. You don't really hear people call it a Fishing ship for instance. In addition, don't call it driving a boat for the love of God. Less likely maybe, but it happens. You sail a ship and you, if it comes to it, row a boat ;) Edit: Hadn't seen the entire video upon commenting, didn't notice you call it a ship later :)

Turn up the volume on the music and wait before you comment.

Since you seem to be lacking in history(no ofense) check out their history channel before so you know what the song is about.

Bismarck is always referred as a "He", not a "she"

I was expecting a perfect time, hearing *Sabaton.* _And you delivered._ Unfortunately, speaking during the music, it's not for me.

How can 2 guys know so little about history?? This makes me so sad.

Dobing overlapping microphone butchered the music.

People who don't know the history of the Bismark and ww2 in general shouldn't react to sabaton you won't know what's about anyway
