The fact that this actually happened was a true Christmas miracle. Sabaton are a wonderful band, try their song "Bismark"

Yes, this really happened. On Christmas Eve in many places on the Western Front in World War I, the fighting stopped. Soldiers started singing Christmas carols. Eventually, Soldiers front both sides called across No-mans land to ask for a truce. Soldiers came out of the trenches on Christmas day and soldiers exchanged gifts and food, they even had a soccer match. Sabaton worked hard to depict this great event in history. Sabaton sings about historical events, mostly about what happened in wars. most of their videos are very high-quality, so welcome to the Sabaton army! I look forward to seeing more reactions from you.

My dear fellow. Lastly. Always play sabaton and nightwish to the end. Almost always have hidden gems.

The blond haired guy that got blown up & 1st outta the trench is Hannas Van Dahl there drummer & husband of Floor Jansen from Nightwish

Dang never heard of this band but definitely going to check them out now. Really awesome video. Love these reaction videos because I’m getting introduced to some new stuff and the guys at seton hill are just entertaining. Loving this channel keep it up guys!

Never skip the end of a Sabaton video. Trust everyone that has said that

No bullets fly (animared story video)

Great reaction, more Sabaton please😊 Soldier of heaven, Bismarck, unkillable Soldier, En livstid i krig(live from gothenburg), To hell and back, are songs you should react to.😊

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. All the music that Sabaton makes is based on real war stories through the centuries, to help them they have 3 historians who seek out interesting war events. Even Sabaton from all over the world send interesting war events from their country and the historians look for facts about the events to confirm the story. Now in 2024, Sabaton has been doing this for 25 years, singing about war events. So as this song Jul True, has happened. and if you want to learn the history when this happened as well as the history behind several of Samabon's songs, Sabaton has a channel on KZfaq called Sabaton History.

Sabaton from Sweden

The great thing with Sabaton along with their "Sabaton History Channel" is they have Official music videos / Live / lyric / animated story then unofficial fan made videos so you have plenty to choose from. there cover of Motorheads "1916" is a must watch. for a great live video - "Swedish Pagans - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019"

I actually first heard this story in a sermon illustration year ago. Completely forgot this was based on a true story and just went and read on the truce. Pretty incredible story.

Welcome! Hope you had a lovely Christmas, and I hope you have a wonderful New Year! This is one of Sabaton's most beautiful videos, but by no means the only tear-jerker. I highly recommend any of their Animated Story Videos, as they offer context before and after the song and are amazingly animated by a group called Yarn Hub. As mentioned I'm sure, Sabaton tells war stories. They do not take 'sides' per se, but tell the stories of the people who fought, often focusing on moments of humanity rising OVER violence, like the Christmas Truce of 1914. All the best, from the middle of Canada.

Sabaton has their own history channel- they tell about the event/person as well as how the song came about. Check it out as well.

You cut the Queen of the Metal World off, Floor Jansen wife of Sabaton's drummer!

Oh, I am truly jealous, you have so much fantastic music to discover with Sabaton. You will not be disappointed. Start with 'En livstid i krig' live from the Great Tour in Gothenburg, its in Swedish but use the subs. Its a good way to get to learn how they are live. And dont forget to check out their official Sabaton History Channel, they have one episode about every song.

As a retired combat veteran I *LOVE* Sabaton's music. They tell the TRUE stories from war, and they don't "take sides" - they tell true tales of heroism, mercy, and valor. If I may request - my fav is "No Bullets Fly" (the 8min 50second animated story video) - it tells the true story of a WWII German fighter pilot who saw a severely damaged B-17 (American 4-engined bomber) and flew in to finish it off. But when he got closer he could see it was shot to pieces and that the wounded crew was tending to the OTHER wounded crew. He could not shoot it down - so, instead he ESCORTED IT out of Germany to safety. Then, 40 years later the two pilots met and became very close friends.

It's a deep rabbithole, particularly if you are into history, but even if not you can appreciate the music and videography. I'd suggest the music videos for _1916_ and _Bismarck,_ then some of the animated story videos - _No_ _Bullets_ _Fly_ and _Night_ _Witches_ are my faves. Do watch to the end, there's a bit at the end of NBF that makes me cry!

That was amazing! Please more from where this came from

Sabaton tells history about those have fallen, but are not forgotten. Some of their songs, like this one are bitter-sweet, others are heart breaking. Songs like En Livstid i Krig, 1916, the Price of a Mile, Inmate 4859, and To Hell and Back look at not the glory, but the pain of conflict, while others like Night Witches, The Lady of the Dark, No Bullets Fly, The Defense of Moscow, 40:1, The First Soldier, and The Unkillable Soldier honor those heroes who rose to the call and changed history.

great reaction, more please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music, not fiction (ok, bit of artistic licence, but...) Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 100 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly, enemy showing mercy to injured aircrew in a nearly wrecked aircraft bare still flying, even escorting them to safety. Night witches, Young (17-28) fenale bomber pilots in ww2 fighting the Nazi despite the discrimination theh faced and being given obsolete equipment, aircraft ... Lady of the dark, female fighting alongside nen during ww1 and being highly respected and even more decorated. Red baron, the famous fighter pilot of ww1 l first soldier, unlikely French hero in ww1. Epic ORIGINAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship you just saw Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.

Great reaction! 👊 After this, you should check out the Sabaton history channel to find out more. It's really interesting with the great Indy talking about the whole story behind it!.. It is a must. If not you missing something 🤘🫡

They specialise in stories about any war. Not political at all. For more detail about any of their songs go to their history channel for far more details. History lesson and good music in one.

As an American, ck out Sabaton's "USA" WW1 songs: "The Lost Battalion" "Devil Dogs" "82nd All the Way" & "Hellfighters." Sabaton has paid a TON of respect to the USA's contribution to WW1. Of course, Sabaton also has great WW2 songs.

Welcome to Sabaton Brother! If you like History & Metal (what a combination) you'll enjoy going down this "Rabbit Hole." Keep going & keep enjoying !

I guess a really good recommendation is a quite recent release of 1916. Sabaton doesn't known for covers but this is one exception. Originally written by Lemmy Kilmister fromMotörhead. Very cinematic as well. Sabaton is music is always about war history, persons that had effect on war or heroic actions during war. By that said, they do not glorify war, just tells the stories and tells the raw facts and horrific effects. Be aware, always look at the whole video and don't skip the end credits. Often there are very important information during them.

Race to the Sea is a great song. Resist and Bite. The Price of a Mile. As for extra treats, check out Hellfest 2019, when Sabaton replaced another popular group, then Joakim lost his voice, and Tommy and Chris not only played guitars, but also sang the songs, kept on track by the drummer Hannes and bass player/manager Pär Sundström. It's an incredible show.

Bismarck the original video, No Bullets Fly the animated story video, Night Witches the animated story video and Swedish Pagans live at Wacken 2019. I love Sabaton.

They have done a video of the sinking of Bismark😊😊😊

Glad you heard that this is a true story.

Sabaton also has a history channel in which they explain the background to their songs and videos. But sure you already got told that.^^

Im starting to get drunk now but this is an epic story that is true, u should deff look at the Sabaton history episode about this song. All their songs are hiostorical and some are so emotional.

Whew... Okay, Sabaton, you could have a channel on this band alone. All about war history. They have amazing stories told through song. Recommend reading up on the story before reacting to one of their songs.

TUELY THIS HAPPENED... METAL HISTORY.... SO COOL.... 🤘❤

Very good reaction and welcome to the world of military history taught by metal music 😊 Sabaton is a Swedish that makes music about war and soldiers from all over the world, without taking sides. They celebrate the bravery and sacrifices of any soldiers, having the phrase ‘lest we forget.’ If you want to dig deeper, here's a small list of songs to react to, if you want. There're many others and I'm sure others will suggest them. Bismarck kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbyHeMVeptqcqZc.html Night Witches (Animated story) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7-AopurqdHaqWg.html Lady of the Dark (Animated) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aaejhcmU18DJhXk.html Soldier of Heaven kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr95ZsiWzK-unH0.html The Red Baron kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZteVdLWiqKevYps.html En Livstid i Krig (Turn CC on) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaijZqpitdzdloE.html One note: Please ALWAYS play their videos to the end. There's usually some dedication or other information at the end.

"Not a history buff" (Watches a few Sabaton music videos) "Welcome to the Seton Hill History Channel"

Give him the benefit of the doubt. I think people here have put him straight😅😅😅😅

Check out 'bismark' , and '1916'

Freeze the video at 9:38 to see the card Hanna’s gives

Just keep em coming,subtitles recommend if you wanna go from a non history buff to a pretty decent one in war history 😊.Big catalog,pretty much all the videos are amazing......Lest we forget..

if you want an awesome live song with Sabaton you should react to en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live Scandinavium Gothenburg. The albums Caroulus Rex they had released during that time is about a part of Swedish history referred to as the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding. The album was released with both an Swedish and English version, the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldier's view while the English one is more from an outside observer's view. It is the Swedish version they played at the show so be sure you have the subtitles on, I was at that show and all I can say is that you will not regret it.

Sabaton sings abaout battles and wars true history they have alot of wars abaout ww2 this song is frome ww1 and they sings abaout real battles true out history

Cutting off Floor is sacrilege but other than that nice rx, liked the musical breakdown

Noooo.... Another reactor that DIDN't LISTEN the FULL SONG!!. Never do this again: Listen the songs until the end. It's disrespectful to compositor not do it. (and very important with Sabaton songs.. most of them have a message or so before end. ) The reaction.. good one. I like it when they pause and comment, adding their knowledge to their comments about how they feel about the song they hear. See you in next reaction (From Sabaton, Nightwish, Lovebites, Nemophila.. or any other band i like. )
