The Soviet Tanker Who was 26, saw that her husband perished, so she went to the war, and sold everything for her husbands vengeance and a remarkable story of repairing in hell in a battle really proved women were something! Through when she went to the bulges she has hit by shrapnel, and was fatally wounded, then finally she layed !in the heavens. at least they are finally together! (This may not be accurate, I just want it to rhyme so Maria could have been older , btw this song rocks!

@@Top10CLICKBAITPLANES compare to modern women now with the focus on selfies and other trivialities...sigh

@joelstolarski2244 Fr tho 💀

I don't know if she is a fitting topic since she doesn't belong in any of the "big wars" but the first woman that always comes to MY mind on those kinda topic for sure is Jeanne d'Arc. Imagine who it must have felt serving your country willing to give your live for it and being thanked by getting burned like a witch. Also you mentioned her yourself the female sniper Pavlichenko her nickname being Lady Death is not the worst nickname to get into a song ;)

that you spelled his name wrong?

@@javanbybee4822 Dangit.

I'm trying to think of something... I got nothin'.

Who wouldn't adore someone with a beard style like Gustavus Adolphus?

Like that mustache is just great

The Emperor be with you, Indy.

Get well soon Indy

The emperor protects!

Thanks, gang. I am finally all better.

I was hurt by that.

she wrote a letter to Stalin demanding that she be allowed to crew the T-34 she had donated to the Red Army. During the fighting around Lenningrade in 1943 her vehicle was immobilized by shell fire (the track had been damaged), without waiting for an order she dismounted the vehicle and repaired the track before remounting the vehicle (this appears to not have been uncommon for her). She would go into combat in Eastern Poland during Bagration and when her vehicle was again immobilized she would dismount her vehicle for the last time, while repairing the vehicle she was struck in the head by shrapnel and went into a coma before dying several weeks later. Her tank was named "Боевая подруга" or "Fighting Girlfriend". Oktyabraskaya needs a film.

@@pantherace1000 Suitably epic

Mark Felton did preety good video about her.

@@ComissarYarrick do you happen to have a link?

@@MorgenPeschke Too hard to google it ? Ok :P : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5Zdja6VzLW2lGg.html

Oskand Are we gonna talk about that mustache? Because I think it deserves to be talked about

You can find more of his badassery at TimeGhost and WWII channels :3

spartacus should do an episode about spartacus

whhyyyyyyyyyy So, he should do a episode about himself? 😂

Imagine what happens when he orders coffee.

I agree! There should be more about women. I might make a video later about my massive list of over 40 song Ideas I have that I think would make fantastic Sabaton songs- among them are actually Team Lioness and Lyudmila Pavlichenko

The problem is that there were comparatively few of them. Consequence of a lack of conscription... But, I agree, their participation doesn't get an appropriate amount of coverage most of the time. Usually, it either gets played down or blown out of proportion.

There was 2 women soldiers from Kazakhstan on eastern front, Alya Moldagulova (sniper) and Manshuk Mametova (machine gunner)!

@@markitgeek I wish there were documentaries on the topic of 586th and 587th regiment too. Night Witches get all the praise while the other two hardly a mention in most cases. :P

@@markitgeek Simp much?

Hi Piscator

@Chloe Lang I found my 8th grade history teacher and introduced her to Sabaton a few years ago. She now uses them in her world History class.

History IS awesome! Sometimes horrifying, sometimes fantastic - always fascinating. Maria, The Sabaton History Team

Put it in the bible :)

I'll be sure to tell Spartacus that :) Maria, The Sabaton History Team

Your wife sounds awesome.

You couldn't have picked a better band to introduce her to, Gloryhammer is awesome. Also, congrats on scoring a woman like that.

That's great! :)

@@SabatonHistory You guys have my wife to thank for making me a diehard Sabaton fan! Keep on rockin' it! p.s. Oh, and if you guys do a song about Sergeant Stubby you will be even more awesome than you already are! He was the United States Army's first, and still the most highly decorated War Dog in American history. 😎🍺

I love Gloryhammer! one of the band members is also in Alestorm, i think.

You rock on too Kieana!

I love these womans stories wish my teachers talked more about these stories might have taken more notice

Historical heavy metal? I can’t WAIT.

Hi Lyliss! Thank you for being so welcoming! I'm having a lot of fun working with Sabaton and the team, and we have lots of things in the works for you all :) Maria

@@SabatonHistory Hi! ^^ You're very welcome!

Indy is all well again. :) And Spartacus sends his thanks! Maria, The Sabaton History Team

A J I know that feeling. I had a grandmother who was in the Polish resistance, and I didn’t even know she existed until her funeral. Apparently she knew me though, because she left me an English to Russian dictionary.

Oh wow, that's really something! I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to talk her about it, she must've been very strong and courageous. Maria, The Sabaton History Team

Arguably, Pavlichenko is the most versatile, and well-rounded sniper to ever live. She's considered second only to Simo Hayha (#1). Hayha fought mostly defensively, giving him the home-field advantage. He grew up in, and knew, the areas that his enemies were entering for the first time in their short lives. Hayha waited for enemies to come to him. While Pavlichenko (#2) was on the opposite side of that equation. She was often being sent to areas she had never visited before and supported Russian troops during their invasion of Germany. She faced enemy snipers who had the "home-field advantage". She fought *_offensively_* instead. I honestly think that Hayha was very specialized in doing his one primary type of fighting, in a scenario he was extremely familiar with. While Pavlichenko was the best *_combat_* sniper to ever live. Reminds me of an old adage; Archilochus said, "The fox knows enough about many things, but the hedgehog knows everything about one big thing. In this analogy, Pavlichenko is a fox, while Hayha is a hedgehog. There's nothing wrong with being ultra-specialized on one specific aspect of combat, but it's an important bit of context to keep in mind. If they traded places halfway through their careers, I think it's likely that Pavlichenko could have filled Hayha's shoes pretty well. Maybe not quite as well, but at least 50-70%. While I don't think Hayha would do as well in Pavlichenko's position. Not knowing the terrain and area, not fighting primarily in winter (which most of his tactics were based around), etc... I think Hayha wouldn't fare well as an offensive sniper in an unfamiliar land or urban environment. He might survive, and even that's a "maybe," but he definitely wouldn't be anywhere near 50% as effective as Pavlichenko in her more variable combat roles and unpredictable situations. If I had to pick one to be on my team, I'd only pick Hayha if we were the defending force. I'd go with Pavlichenko for literally anything beyond that (offensive missions, any combination of both (eg: capture & hold) and definitely if the scenario was unknown).

If our boys need saving, you bet your ass the Witches will be flying! ;) Maria

Probably just repelling in to drop off supplies and grab a few autographs 😉

@@MorgenPeschke be careful, Morgen. Those holding lines could snap on you, while you're scaling building to see Par. Please be safe. Hehhehheh

I agree with you!

I really agree with you Géro, on all points. Female soldiers and the women in resistance networks deserve to be remembered and recognized. And we're all living proof of that women love metal and history too! ;) Maria, The Sabaton History Team

Thank you for the recommendation Marie-Rose, it definitely sounds like an interesting read! Maria, The Sabaton History Team

It’s like how Woakim has shorter hair than his band mates

Thank you so much!

I should be the one thanking you, history is something I really enjoy and want to make a career out of and you are giving me more inspiration with each of these episodes.

I agree with you Irina, it's not more than right that these women get the recognition they deserve. And hell yeah there's women metalheads, there's a lot of us!! :) Maria, The Sabaton History Team

It's our privilege as always 😎 Thanks for writing Joel!

Thank you Jonathon! Indy and Spartacus sends their thanks too :)
