As Germany invades France and the Benelux countries in May 1940, the main bulk of their panzers are heading towards the Ardennes and the Meuse River in an effort to cut the Allied forces in half. However, two small units of Belgian infantry are standing in their way. They are the Chasseurs Ardennais and have one objective: To delay the Germans by every means necessary...

Today we again turn towards the Second World War - to be more specific the 1940 German invasion of France and the Benelux. Here two small Belgian units bravely attempted to delay the advance of the Wehrmacht. We hope you all appreciate this video! And much like the Chasseur Ardennais supported the war effort of the Belgians, our awesome Patrons support the war effort of us, the Sabaton History team! So if you haven't, you most certainly should consider supporting us on www.patreon.com/sabatonhistory. Oh and if you're interested in World War Two, you should definitely check out Indy's World War Two Channel (kzfaq.info) where he covers WW2 Week-by-week. Last May, he covered the invasion of the Benelux and France, which you can check out right here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erJ-a7F5vc-xqWQ.html Cheers, the Sabaton History team!

Maybe Sabaton should write a song about The Battle of Halen in 1914. There, the Belgian crushed the German cavalry. Contrary to the usual tactic, namely charging the cavalry on horseback, the Belgians dismounted and held back about 15 charges with rifle fire. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Halen

You are missing a couple of details that make this even more dramatic/amazing... Among the panzer divisions being delayed was the 7th Panzer Division (which, of course we know as the Ghost Division), which was still being led by Rommel (Ghost Division v Resist and Bite). As this song (and this episode) tell that they finally had to surrender and the Germans were realizing that this had been a tiny force. They were shocked, after all, because < 100 men had held back the entire German forces. Rommel was well known for being at the front instead of directing from the rear of his troops, he saw first hand the bravery and tenacity of the Belgians. He complimented them on their accomplishments: "They are not men; they are green wolves." The story beneath the lyrics mention this detail. I'm surprised that Indy didn't mention that among the rest of the praise being handed out to the Belgians and their amazing stand...

They didn't really go through the Ardennes in 1914, they swept through Belgium and even for the WW1 army, the Ardennes weren't really a good place to pass through. And dismissing the idea that Panzers might go through the Ardennes, cross the Meuse and overrun the French at the Maginot Line wasn't that stupid and can only really be criticized with the benefit of hindsight. If the Allies had immediately sent their air forces to the Ardennes when they noticed what was up, the germans would have suffered heavy casualties. The problem wasn't the defense plan, the problem was the inaction and general sluggishness of the Allied Command. This is very similar to the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The US government and most admirals didn't think anybody could attack it. How would that even be possible? Well, as I live in the future, I know. But the people making the decision back then didn't.

@loicvanderwielen 4 жыл бұрын

What makes it even more badass is the reason they laughed. Basically, after the capture of the Chasseurs Ardennais, they began asking "Where are the others?" repeatedly, hence the "We are all" that follows in the song. Believing to be facing a regiment, the Germans had mobilized 3000 men against a reduced company (two platoons)... Overall, the efficacy of the Chasseurs Ardennais led Rommel to say "These are not men but green wolves"

I know a fantastic war story. I will name this story "The attack of the Belgian Baron". It's the story of a soldier of the Belgian army during the Second World War, Belgian army who lost the war. The name of the soldier is Jean de Selys Longchamp and he is a little bit edgy by the capitulation of Belgium. So, he arrives in England after a long journey around Europe. There, he becomes a great aviator with the grade of Captain. But, a day where he is back of a mission, he decides to attack the building of the Gestapo in Brussels. Like a car, he goes back the large avenue and destroys all the floors of the buildings, kills a lot of nazi's officiers and explodes the cannon on the roof of the building. Now, in front of the ancient Gestapo's building, you can see a statue of this hero ! After this feat, he has been degraded but he received a medal at the same time! (My English is probably imperfect, my native language is French, I'm a Belgian!)

@@Springtrap11556 Thank you for your kind words. He loved to tell his war memories such as when he was transferred to a German factory (a carpentry) as a prisoner of war to work there where he sabotaged a production machine. When he was taken prisoner he had the intelligence to hide loaves of bread in his sleeves which saved his life and that of his brother 'André' whom he luckily found among the thousands of prisoners. They were hold in a field without food before transfer. His brother was in very bad condition, starving. The loaves of bread he had collected and hidden saved their lives. I also remember him saying that in a prison camp there was an old Austrian guard who cried about being separated from his wife and children. When he returned from the war, he found it difficult to find peaceful sleep. He told me about walking for hours at night in his village, insomniac. During the fighting in 1940, if I remember correctly, his captain, in a trench, was killed next to him by being shot in the head. He was lucky that day. He loved gardening work, so in summer, when he took a break from gardening work, he would sit on a bench behind his house and when I was present I would sit near him and we would chat and he would tell me his memories. We had a good time together. God, how I miss this man.

History is full of soldiers who fight like hell but few are the stories where a out numbered force fights so hard that they make the enemy lose there taste for blood. The 300 The Chasseurs Ardennais A few Medal of honor recipients Rarely fighting hard enough becomes a force multiplier in of itself and win or lose it's a victory in history.

i really liked this video, because; I love history, it gives historical background to a song, it shows that Belgium is/was better militarily that we could think -as a Belgian I really appreciated that- and because it's very well eplained PS: I think an album about Belgian battles from, for exemple the Belgian revolution or the battle of the Yser, could be good but i think the name "Belgica" would be better than "Belgia"

They should do one about the battle of the golden spurs. Similar story to that of bannockburn or one about the belgian king albert who stayed in the front lines during world war one or about the rape of belgium were a lot of city’s got burned down and last but not least the belgian army in exile during world war two

Oh yes, finally! One of my most anticipated songs since this channel started. It really disproves the 'incompetent, easy-to-conquer Belgians' picture, isn't it? And, the song gives me so much energy, it's a constant part of my workout playlist. Whenever I hear it I'm like 'give me a sword or gun and enemy to defeat'. 😃

The Battle of Halen/battle of the silver helmets was a battle where the German cavalry charged at Belgian lines, but were held off because of machine guns and hidden shooters. The Battle of Turnhout (1789) was an important battle where they defeated the superior Austrian force. Using some smart defensive tactics to decisively beat them. The Battle of The Golden Spurs was a Battle between the county of Flanders and France, the superior French knights were crushed by the Flemish defensive line with the famous Goedendag weapon. So these are some cool Moments in Belgian history.

This song is an amazing tribute to the soldiers of Belgium, and how they (in particular the Chasseurs Ardennais) held the border and fought until the end. It makes me so proud to be of Flemish-Belgian origins. My Opa (grandfather) who fought for Belgium in the 9th Infantry Division--whenever I listen to this song I get teary-eyed and think of my Opa and what he and those he fought beside must have went through. Thank you Indy and thank you Sabaton for your tribute.

Coming from Holland and visiting Graspop since 2002, I was at that show in 2007. It was my second Sabaton show, the first being in 2006 in Amsterdam when they opened for Dragonforce. At that point Sabaton was just one of those bands that I was just getting to know, but that Graspop show made me a fan. The tent was indeed packed and as soon as the show started I remember a lot of Swedish flags being raised in the crowd, which only added to the great atmosphere. As I said, I've been a fan ever since and I've seen all Sabaton shows at Graspop. I've seen a lot of Sabaton shows in Holland as well, but there's always a certain atmosphere at the Belgian shows and this song might have a lot to do with that. Another amazing story this one!
