I think what hit you most was the fact that this woman went out after the war to find every crashside where one of her 'girls' was downed. It reminded you how young these women were.

Sabatons story telling is very emotional, they have a uncanny way of producing tears in the listener. Damn onion ninjas ;-)

My father's family came from Poland. And were part of the nobility. He was captured at the begining of the war and sent to Siberia, managed to escape and get to Palistine and joined the Polish Army in Eygpt His sister joined the Russian Army and became a decorated sniper. This I di not know. Until I arranged a 100 th birthday for him in his home town. Unfortunatly I did not get to meet her as she had passed away that year. Hope she is with my dad, and having a drink of Vodka.

Sabaton always gives the war the human face!

Well Andre and Dominica, you are slowly becoming my favourite reactors. Sabaton has a way to find the stories that almost get forgotten but really needs to be told and Joakim(who writes most of the songs) are a true storyteller. Thanks ever so much for the heartfelt reaction.🥰

Love your reactions. Just want to say this; It's OK to cry! Showing and letting out your emotions is a good thing. I have a very hard time to cry and I wish I didn't. So don't feel you shouldn't cry. If you cry you cry.

If they want to play this in high school I would have paid attention in history class it is very uplifting and positive this band will do that to you it's a cool story too keep rocking I cried too

Well there is only 2 animated story videos left for now atleast ``No Bullet Fly´´ a song on honor and brotherhood and ´´The Red Baron´´ about the respected and feared German pilot

Their commissar finding the locations of the downed pilots and navigators allowed them to be given proper burials. Soldiers who were missing in combat were considered potential traitors until their remains were found

"Death is the winner in any war" - Tuomas Holopainen. Tears are just the appropriate response to the history here, and joy the appropriate response to the music; there's no contradiction in feeling both. May your hearts keep growing.

You are so sweet to eachother, I love it. I will enjoy your Sabaton journey and I hope there will be a lot more Sabaton reactions.

Watching you guys enjoy it so much even before the song has started makes your Sabaton reactions the best! History good or bad needs to be remembered. For me, it is important that this dark period of human history is not forgotten or rewritten. Thanks to Sabaton, hopefully that never happens.

I loved the fact in the entry narration they showed biplane shapes then witches on broomsticks.

The thing about the name was that aparently, the sound their planes made gliding overhead without engines running were similar to what you'd imagine witches flying on broomsticks would sound. So fear and fact mixed and people gave them the name "night witches".

Именно ради таких храбрых людей каждое 9 мая мы выходим на парад, многие идут с плакатами тех кто учавствовал в этих войнах и не вернулся, мы чтим их подвиги и отдаем дань памяти " бессмертным полком", в один ряд с ними!) Будте счастливы, мира вам!

Aye, another emotional one that digs into your heart. I confess that that part where we learn that their Commissar sought out every crash site is where I 'break'. On a tangent, I love to hear the way your accent comes through just slightly in your excellent English - I am not in any way saying that *you* guys are old when I say that hearing you takes me back to when I used to work assisting a milkman when I was a boy and I used to deliver to this old Polish woman, a refugee from the war. She always used to give me sweets and a quick drink when I would call for the money on a Saturday. You can tell that that small kindness meant a lot because I recall it fifty years on!

Makes me cry too. It is inspiring to see people who are not expected to stand up do just that, stand up and say "no more". I cry because I am so inspired by these people in Sabaton's songs.

Attack of the dead man в исполнении Radio Tapok пожалуйста. или любой его кавер на группу Sabaton. Спасибо за реакцию, с вами одно удовольствие смотреть. )

It makes me cry every time I watch it, You feel the emotion and are sort of proud of the ladies flying the planes and for being so brave. Dont be sorry or worry about having a cry when the video is so powerful. Take care both

Was looking forward to you guys getting to this one!

Thank's 👍

I love what you do here and that you show your emotions. Please, dont excuse yourself for crying at beautiful music. If it moves you, it does. Ne need to hide it. We as a society need to make showing those emotions normal, everything else just puts oil in the fire of toxic "get a grip"-mentality. I myself cry with you at nearly every emotional video. 💚

Awesome reaction as always, never hold yourself back :)

And for more info about story and song there is Sabaton History Channel :)

the ending gets me every time. a video a would recommend from sabaton is no bullets fly, and its the animated story version. but you might want tissues handy in the end

Makes me cry too ain’t afraid to admit. Great reaction and an even better story behind it, thanks guys.

the USSR suffered massive loss of live during WWII in the battles of stalingrad and moscow that women joined the fight..some of them become multiple award winners and heroes of the State

When the Germans give your unit a nick name, you wear it with pride. Night witches, Hellfighter, Devil Dogs, The Devils Brigade. They all earned those names with strength, courage and a ferocity that terrified the Germans.

A lot of these videos have that effect even on a 50 some old guy like me... They tell a story that makes it real like plain textbooks can't.... it makes it personal. Thank you for the great reaction.

This song is amazing! I remember learning of this in high school (we had a great history teacher). Definitely top 5 best Sabaton songs for me. I really hope you do Carolus Rex soon, it is maybe my favorite. I don't know if it is because I know the history so well from school, but the song really made me change the perspective on the events.

You both are amazing genuine reactors to great music...best wishes from New Zealand

What a story. What a bravery.

Jesteście tacy fajni 🙂 Dobrze się Was ogląda i słucha.

А прикинь с такой бабушкой жить!))

Sabaton Ghost patrol - Live Woodstock Check it out

I like your reaction here. I am a man, and I believe men should mostly fight and not women, but certainly I have always been glad to see women take their turn and do so well. The Night Witches were incredibly hard on German morale, all out of proportion to the physical damage they inflicted. Having these deadly women flying around looking for infantry trying to rest destroyed the rest of huge numbers of German soldiers. When it was cold, VERY cold in Russia, they still had to be careful about lighting fires. There have been stories of the Night Witches detecting and bombing German soldiers' camps because one solder lit a cigarette outside where the Witches could spot it.

sabaton makes you emotional with these stories even if it's not your own countryman or countrywomen. they are amazing

Great reaction as always! ❤

you should do 40:1 by sabaton live version from woodstock. Its about the polish defense of Wisna

Only Sabaton can make you feel national pride for another country other than your own

If I remember correct (from the Sabaton History Channel) there where three all female units in the Army, but this was the least skilled initially where placed. I think the reason you felt this kind of happy, was that thise Women despite all their trouble and having all things going against them they were so succelful. Also, good Music makes you listen, great Music makes you feel.

Thanks for sharing this great reaction with us and thank you for making my "heart grow" too because of it. 😊

I just love you two beautyful people. And this video gets me every time.

❤ Never be sorry for showing emotions. I often cry to videos that touch my emotions. Much love from Stockholm Sweden/ J

Everyone of those valiant women, I could just hear the conversation after the taunts: "You boys have no idea whatsoever what WE are capable of." I LOVE these honest reactions and the appreciation of the literal history of it. Thank you. You got another subscriber. I LOVE husband and wife having this sort of interaction and learning something new. Hat's off to you both. Hubs and wife...so much of this is what I have shared with my wife and introduced her to, and puts my son to sleep as we went to the concerts while my wife was pregnant with our son. Colic, fussy, just don't wanna: yeah...and when I introduced my wife to Josh Groban after her divorce from her ex....well, my all over the place music taste...even now, after being married for almost 13 years (lucky 13) when she is down, I put on "You are loved" or if our son is out of sorts, put on Nightwish, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica: all just makes everything alright. My wife and I LOVE seeing honest reactions to songs that have such fundamental meaning to us together and individually. Please, keep it up. She don't talk too much, by the way, hubs. Your wife needs a huge hug and kiss at the end. THAT is my 1 single disappointment for this video. Hugs and kisses to your wife from this internet stranger.

Thank you guys for this one......glad you're continuing with your SABATON journey and stay safe! 👍💖🎵🎶

Would love to see your reaction to Sabaton 40 to 1 Live version. Then get the backstory from Sabaton History channel

Great reaction. You should react to Sabaton's "When the winged hussards arrived".

@MerchantofAlba: The thing about this story is that because of the Cold War, the exploits of this bomber regiment was largely unknown until after 1991, after the Soviet Union fell. Sadly, as far as I know, there are no recorded interviews with any of the Night Witches that survived the war. As such, their story is now truly history, as the last Night Witch passed away in 2017.

You guys should hear 1916 sabaton

There's really good live there too to watch.

Now you made me cry too (again)

There were originally 3 units were set up for women. They were created because women wanted to fight against the Nazis, many of them already pilots, they had written letters to Marina Roskova a famous pilot who in turn petitioned Stalin on their behalf. Roskova was authorized to set up a three units a night bomber regiment, a day bomber regiment and a fighter regiment. In the end only the night bomber regiment remained entirely female. Overall it was the most successful and a measure of this is that was renamed Tamman Guards regiment which was an indication that it was an elite or superior regiment .Roskova initially lead the day unit but was killed in a crash. She was given a State Funeral. The fighter regiment was the unit which had the most integration of Male pilots had as a unit less accolades. However several of the original members were such superior pilots that the transferred to free hunting squadrons which only the best pilots were members. Two them became aces. The first to become an ace was Lydia litvyak who died in action shortly before her 21st birthday.

Thank you! Great story, great song, great reaction!👍

Love your reactions.

❤

Subbing!! ❤

🔥🌹🌹🌍

Esa historia está en el internet y la conocemos muchas personas. Soy de México y admiro, como muchos de mis compatriotas, el heroísmo del pueblo soviético que, a costa de la muerte de más de 27 millones de sus habitantes, libró a europa del nacismo, de momento. Desafortunadamente ha vuelto tal calamidad y, nuevamente los rusos, en su mayoría, está luchando por erradicarlos para evitar que los despojen de sus riquezas

The last night witch died in 2016 🥺

If I'm not mistaken, I do believe the person doing the narration for the story videos is Yarn Hub, the person who does the animation.

Please have a look on 40:1 by Sabaton. This made even a polish Bishop wanted to thank them for this song. Its miracle that only less than 1000 defenders hold their ground again more than 40.000 Enemies, 40:1 by Sabaton

in reality, in every region and city of the USSR, there is a school of piloting. they worked before the war from the mid-1930s. The right in the USSR to get any profession of a woman. As if you look at the West itself as a whole. Or rather in Europe. We had no concept of a male or female profession. Yes, I'm Russian.)) ) My grandmother fought and ended the war as a foreman by profession, a mechanic, a driver of a T-34 tank. They commissioned her after being wounded during the battles in Koninsberg. We are not Kaliningrad.

🇬🇧 Norfolk with you History with a beat

FROM BRAZIL !!! ((Z))

Yarnhub and Sabaton two great things that go great together

Hi Guys You should check out Sabaton's History channel 😀

I know what you feeling.. proud of being a woman seeing this.. am i right? Women are used to this.. finding minimal things and making the biggest things of it.. used to men looking down at women.. but in fact.. they should be looking up to them. Were getting there.. thanks to women we are all alive and a woman give her life to what she gets involved in.. trust me.. try taking a baby from a woman.. you will die !! Thanks to all brave women outthere 🤘❤️👍

As this is for "happy crying" than watch "The Price Of A Mile" for real crying...

I've really come to like you guys .. such a sweet couple

If you are Polish be careful if you ever do 'uprising', that's the other real choker for me

Hello there! You should really check out Lovebites Holy war!

To put this in context: 23 000 missions, 3 planes each, 2 woman per plane ... so out of 138 000 woman in the sky, only 32 never came home... that is some epic stats right there! There woman were extraordinary. Much respect to them.

Their commander went to find every single one of her girls, because they were called traitors and defectors, because they never came back. She wanted to prove that they died for their country and that their names should be remembered and honored. In an interview with a surviving Night Witch, she said that if you dug your finger into the plane it would rip. It was that flimsy. She was proud of the title Night Witch. She also spoke fondly of a girl who survived 7 flights out. Queens! Every single one of them.

Please react to Sabaton Red Baron too. And a good idea soon is to collect all Sabaton reactions in ure Playlist section as with Nightwish and others. Love /J

you guys should listen to "the Lady of the Dark" another powerful song

It just proves that even in the1940's the russians had a clue, gender is not a hindrance.

you are in this state because they are girls and as women we feel all the aggressiveness they had and the contempt of men who did not think they could do it! and sabaton knew how to put the right terms and the right musical chords that make us feel disconcerted after the songs

за сбитую ночную ведьму давали железный крест... вот так их боялись

17:35, the faster planes could have taken off later to accommodate the ladies on the fly past. Luckily, Sabaton have more integrity than the then/now Russian government and the story is now known to more of us, Great reaction both.

apart from the incredible story and this awesome animation, i really love the story of them. most importantly, that when they started, they didn't have a nickname. they got it out of fear from their enemies, which could be considered the highest honor for any military unit. in the later stages of the war, they were SOOO feared, that if a german soldier shoots down a "Nachthexe", he instantly earned an Iron Cross for it, the german equivalent of the medal of honor. i think their biggest strong suit was "just" being women. being totally irrationally, not confirming to "normal" tactics etc. what their commissar did for them in the end, was the real hero's deed, since that was in no way common.

Attack of the dead man PLZ

U 2, are great (not the band, well they are also great).

Javier Solis con la canción cuatro cirios plis

Just thought you should know our beloved John Farnham is in hospital with fighting cancer today.

Great reaction, as always :) I've got another few songs I'd like you to react to: Hans Solo - Sam Hans Solo - Ego-tyka Hans Solo - Wisielec Insomnium - The Wanderer. Hans is Polish hip hop artist, but he's also a member of Polish rock band Luxtorpeda. Thank you in advance :)

"like they were set up for the failure" That's because this video doesn't really developes the "insignificant", which could give a wrong impression to a viewer. As it's said, those were the LEAST skilled of ALL women deployed - there were two more, fighter and heavy bomber regiments with a regular equipment. But that doesn't mean military didn't cared of them at all - those women might be unskilled, but pilots nevertheless, and though sending them into battle on a real military planes would've been a waste of lives and equipment, they weren't dismissed, but was given a task they could handle - Po-2 was a very simple and widespread plane, which any pilot in USSR flew or could fly, and given both lack of necessary combat skills and reflexes by those girls, those planes were perfect for the missions that didn't required any of it - perseverance and courage was enough. Yes, it was dangerous and really hard, but mostly due to peculiarities of a low-altitude night flight, and they wasn't even required to hit the targets - their task was to make as many sorties and drop as many bombs as close to enemy positions as it's possible in order to harass the enemies and deprive them from sleep, and even though they proved to hit the targets quite a lot, that was more like a pleasant bonus since there was only so much damage they could've made with a payload available. You can tell the command had a quite faith in them, considering every plane, every fuel gallon and every bomb counted in such a dire situation that even young girls had to take the fight.

Было три полка женских. Просто у нас женщины воевали на ровне с мужчинами. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrxhqpVhmM24h30.html

brave women these woman... it is unfortunatly to see how their people developed since then. Orcs the lot of them. These women would probably be ashamed of what the country they fought for has became

Sabaton seems to have a problem with the old war. Saboton can probably only war therefore no thanks
