"Small skirmishes" - Err... About HALF A MILLION Italians and 300k from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire (Czech, Slovaks, Poles, Rutens, Ukrainans, Austrians (and other, smaller, German ethnicities) Hungarian, Romanians, Roma, Jews, Slovens, Italians, Croats, Bosnians... There is no VILLAGE without a WWI monument for the fallen.

Tommy looks so cute in his shades, shredding❤❤❤❤

In the Alps to this day, several thousand soldiers from the time of World War I still remain at their posts. The bullets didn't kill them. They were killed by cold and snow avalanches.

SABATON... My God they are good. The videos/Movie are so well made. This touches your Heart and Soul.... something we humans should never forget. These TREASURES AND HEROS have fought for us. Now these BRAVE SOLDIERS have a grave on a mountain 🏔❄🗻🕊🙏

Sabaton needs to be in a history class !!! Nuff Said !!! 🤘😎🤘

Bravo Sabaton! Thank you for this history lesson we should never forget. "I'll guard this post forever" goes straight to the heart. Brave men and heroes we didn't know about...till now. White Friday on Blood Mountain. Piercing.

Loved this video!! Great request Highly!!

Sabaton 🤘🤘🤘

Salute them! Remember them!

interesting that they switched to WWII in the last part, when the one Bf109 was shot down by AA fire. But its obvious, cause less than 3 decades later, another War raged over Europe

Hey, just wanted to say I'm less than I minute in, but I'm very happy that you recognized the theater and the events that took place before watching the video.

think this or race to the sea is one of my new favorites

The event the song is targeting is this White Friday occurred during the Italian Front of World War I, when an avalanche struck Austro-Hungarian barracks on Mount Marmolada, killing 270 soldiers. Other avalanches the same day struck Italian and other Austro-Hungarian positions, killing hundreds. According to some reports both sides deliberately fired shells into the weakened snowpacks in an attempt to bury the other side. An accurate estimation of the number of casualties from the White Friday avalanches is not available. Historical documents suggest at least 2,000 victims among the soldiers and a few dozens among civilians.[1] The date 13 December, marked Saint Lucia, a commemorative religious holiday practiced by the majority of Italian Catholics. Though the occurrence of avalanches in the Dolomites Mountains took place on a Wednesday in 1916, the term "White Friday" was used to coin the disastrous day. PS: Oh, someone was faster ^^

thx for the request Emma, and for the reaction marine, shared it ofc. to the reacticide discord.... pls stay safe and grts from a dutch cheesehead in Sjermanie....

When these brave men marched on the Alps during WW1, some of them did get frozen to death and they practically got mummified... so immortal in a way. Have a look at the White Friday event for more information.

DON'T LIKE IT TOO. AGRESSIEF. !
