"We crashed a tank through a wall" *PRIMO VICTORIA INTENSIFIES*

13:41 Oh yes, part 2 about tank development during the Cold War, please.

Always great to see a new Sabaton History, especially when it is about everyone's favorite subject TANKS!!

Sabaton and a song/video about tanks goes together better than beer and pizza.

Another great episode! I loved the song, especially all the callbacks to previous Sabaton songs in the lyrics ("over trench and wire" from The Future of Warfare and "fields of Prokhorovka" from Panzerkampf). A Part 2 to this focusing on tank development from 1945 "to today" would be great.

Im an easy person: sabaton releases, i watch and love

Was wondering when this one would come out, happy to see it! Edit: "Great War 2, trench war boogaloo". Nice one

Indy: Despite the Tiger’s excellent optics and armor, they were technically flawed with unreliable transmissions and underpowered engines. Some poor german soldier on the eastern front: HANZ! ZE TRANSMISSION BROKE!

"Great War 2 trench war boogaloo" that a phrase i never thought I'd hear and I love it

Nobody: Sabaton: *”PANZER VOR!”*

Indy suddenly sounds more American "STEEL COMMANDER"

Where swimming comes from: amphibious tanks. Helps when this is posted within a day of Drachinifel's video about Imperial Japanese Army ships, which ironically showed an Imperial Japanese Navy amphibious tank at the beginning (the Type 2 Ka-Mi light amphibious tank, which was inspired by an IJA design), so it was on my mind. The Allies had amphiibious tanks as well (the Duplex Drive or "Donald Ducks", for example). Maybe this could be mentioned if you do a part 2. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Great video even without this info, and I hope Indy was checked for a concussion after the crash (currently dealing with vertigo for unknown reasons myself, I completely understand Indy's inadvertant George of the Jungle theme reenactment 😉).

Indy drives with Pär through a wall in a tank. Indy : I am completely fine. Indy walks then against a tree. The lesson : Don't mess with nature😂😂😂

Absolutely love Steel Commanders, was an absolute blast hearing it live.

Tanks and Panzer, would that be a reference to the AWESOME anime show Girls und Panzer?

All the flags of the victors of WWII behind Indy Neidell, including Free France's flag, beautiful.

Over the years, the most common division of tanks was by weight. In this classification, the following were distinguished: light tanks - weighing 5-20 t (e.g. T-26, PzKpfw I, 7TP), medium tank - Masina 20-45 t (e.g. T-34, PzKpfw V Panther, M4 Sherman), heavy tank - 45 t on top (e.g. IS-2, PzKpfw VI Tiger, T26 Super Pershing). main tank (combat, linear) - generator of tanks distinguished after World War II, usually the main model of tanks (e.g. T-72, Leopard 2, M1 Abrams). Tanks were divided less often according to the caliber of armament: tanks with light armament - caliber up to 50 mm (e.g. PzKpfw III), tanks armed with a tank - caliber up to 85 mm (e.g. T-34/85) tanks with heavy armament - caliber up to 152 mm (eg KW-2). These classifications were spaced apart in different groups [5] that were excluded between different tanks, and the no longer produced heavy tanks became blurred. Due to the medieval tactical tanks, they are divided into: special tanks, intended, thanks to the special provision for performing special tasks (tanks due to their armament, equipment), some armies are distinguished by airborne tanks. Niekiełg the name that describes the vehicle is part of a de facto tank. An example is anti-aircraft tanks, tanks are a form of counter-rotating guns.

“Should we have tanks that are multi-gunned and has impenetrable armor” Germany and the Soviet Union: I’ll take your entire stock

"Great War II - Trench War Boogaloo" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, Steel Commanders was so great for promoting a World of Tanks stuff

"You know what, Indy? I want to talk about TANKS!" I've been waiting for this episode since the song dropped. Let's go!

I'm of the belief that the "3 key components of tank design" isn't quite right... it should be 4 key components; Mobility, Firepower, Protection, Production Capability Tiger and Panther are an example of tanks which score really low on Production Capability, the Design is good but the German industrial base couldn't really meet the production demands of the design. Sherman and T-34 are good designs in their own right but more importantly the industrial base for their respective countries could definitely meet the production demands of the design. I.e having the best tank on paper doesn't mean crap if you can't reliably produce the thing... just my opinion, you're welcome to disagree with me.

I really wanna see sabaton do a song about the bob semple, which was developed by new Zealand and was discovered to be more powerful than the atomic bombs america used on japan

Got my ticket for the upcoming Hannover concert today ;-) Hope to meet you guys again after we met in Falun 2013 (I´m the motorcycle guy who visited you together with my wife just before you had to enter the tourbus to denmark. Cuban cigar and icecream included ;-))

I ove how Tank started out as a covername and just ended up sticking around and defining an entirely new class of vehicles that has developed into one of the biggest and most diverse classification in the span of a few decades.

The things we are told as Mechanized infantry: speed, bald moves and agressiveness are the qualities which makes you what you are and how feared as a force you can be. But this is all in vain if you forget to keep the tanks updated on the pace and location. Tanks are the embodyment of the qualities that make a mechanized unit. Edit: I would love it if you guys would ever make a song about mechanized infantry: panzerjägers, panzergrenadiers or any other mechinfantry. We don't really have a song for ourselfs :/

I am willing to bet there will soon be a Pt.2 about the armoured knights, the "tanks of the past".

- Tanks is a mighty weapon, but it is as strong as the one who commands it... *feels uncomfortable* Rommel: No, no, he has a point

Let's put indy in a tiger.

Love the song and the history behind it! Your my favorite band and I was happy I could have seen you preform in the Netherlands. Now I did have a question about a topic no one has covered ever yet. The 80 years war of independence of the Netherlands against the Spanish. It’s quite interesting and quite amazing story behind a small weak country taking on a dominant world power as Spain in that time period. I don’t know if you can look into it nor do I expect you guys could make anything out of that part of history but it would atleast be worth learning some history as not only Netherlands fought in that war but also nearly all European powers against the growing power of Spain Anyway I wish you all a amazing weekend and best wishes to the whole band! 💜

If only Gaijin would do a collab with Sabaton. That would be lit.

Tank you for another excellent video

This is unrelated but is there any way you could restock those Red Baron hoodies? I was going to get one and thought what better time than now? (With that free t shirt deal) but when I looked it’s just sold out in small

Okay, I've got an idea for a new Sabaton History episode. Tell the tale of the longest Sabaton set ever played. Brilliant!

I’ve said time and again, Sabaton is the best. History and metal combined into a single, glorious entity.

I'm surprised that Guderian wasn't mentioned in the song. He has a book called Attention Tank, or in his native tounge: Achtung Panzer. It explained in part where his influence lied. Fuller was one of his inspirations, and he also went to Sweden. I need to get around re-reading the book.

I've always loved the look of the MARK V tank yes it's slow but looked badass.

I don’t think this video is public, i only saw it because of your KZfaq post in my feed. Make sure to fix this issue

After the Second Battle of El Alamein and the first use of the Sherman Tank, a British officer was heard to have said: "Napoleon was defeated on the fields of Waterloo, Hitler will be defeated on the drafting boards of Detroit".

My favorite modern band with my favorite history crew. Every video is a treat. You always look like you're having such fun when you film these.

“Great War 2: Trench War-Boogaloo” Damnit Indy, never change 😂😂

"Great war 2 trench warfare bugaloo" I completely lost it was hilarious

Yes! Indy, you are my favorite historian, ever!

0:26 Is that... a man standing on top of a tank in uneven terrain?? thats either madness or extremely cool.

Didn’t get a notification for this till now

Future Sabaton songs "Drone Commander" and "Rocket Private".

I love this so much. But to be fair. Some of the first Steel Commanders were the ironclads of the American Civil War. Such as the USS Monitor and the CSS Merrimack which were the first ironclads built and the first to see action at the battle of Hampton Roads in 1862. Which changed Naval Warfare forever. Keep up these amazing videos guys.🤘🤘🤘🤘

The best way to enjoy history is Sabaton and Indy Neidell. Keep up the great work gentlemen!

Finally Sabaton make this video.

This is pog

This song instantly became my second favorite Sabaton song, first place being To Hell and Back

From the Mark 1 to the VIII Maus and conceptually to the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte

I thought the nose story would involve a tank copula. Busted my nose good on the "padding" around an M-113's driver's hatch when I found an unexpected wadi. Letting go of the lats & bracing only goes so far.

Tanks for the memories

Fun fact. The "Pershing" isn't a "Pershing" it's acually a "Super Pershing" bc the "Pershing" is the M26

Hello Sabaton! I am fan from Mexico, iv'e been listening to your music for 2 years now, and I love you guys as much as I love history. I saw one of your videos that if you ever wanted song suggestions we type it in the comments, i doubt this will gain tranction but here is a suggestion for a song. it's 1846, the mexican-american war is in full swing. American forces have pushed south towards the mexican valley and the capital, however they would have to go through the city of Monterrey. General Zachary Taylor needs the city not only to move forward but also to capture it and use is a supply hub. at his command he has 6000 american soldiers (including 2000 cavalry) along with 40 artillery pieces. Mexican forces on the other hand have around 4000 regulars 2000 cavalry and 48 pieces of artillary, including the imfamous St. Patricks batalion "Los San Patricios" lead by Brigadier commander John O´Reilly. who was origanlly part of the american army but defected to the mexican cause for equal rights (cause americans at that point in time were still very racist and xenophobic towadrs everyone practically). But him and his batalion held out in the city of Monterrey for three days along with the mexican forces, for three days Taylor Tried and failed to take even the outer defenses held out by St Paticks batalion numbering about 300-800 men. However on the third day mexican general Pedro Ampudia declared capitulation of the city, right when Taylor was about ready to fall back before General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna´s army arrived, but Santa Anna was delayed from logistical issus, so Pedro surrendered the city inflicting 531 casualties on the american forces while only having 361 casualties of his own. This only prooved that this batalion wasnt messing around, because of the defense of monterrey they were given the "cruz de honor de la angostura" (a medal of bravery to put it that way) ordered and given by Santa Anna himself. After monterrey the St. Patricks batalion would fight in many battles including the battle of Buena vista in Feburary of 1847 where they anihaleted an american batalion counterattacking their positions, by opening point blank artillary fire in to american lines, hell they even captured two american artillary pieces to use against the americans in the valley. Again Taylor was about to concede defeat and pull back, one of his soldiers yelled out "Sir all is lost we can´t break through!" Taylor only replied "I know"but to his surprise, the mexican army was falling back because of political termoil in Mexico City. Needles to say Captain O´Reilly was pissed along with most his batalion, victory was so close yet so far. The last battle they would fight would be the battle of Chuburusco in August 20 1847 where O´Reilly, his batalion of 250 and 1150 other mexican militia and soldiers numbering in 1400 men held out against the American horde of 8500 men lead by general Winfield Scott, needles to say they had no chance to retreat and they couldn´t surrender, so they fought for hours even until the defenders ran out of ammo they still fought, stealing americna guns from the ground hoping to fire, bayonets fixed and a melee would proced for only minutes at a time sudenly BAM one of the poweder storages blew up because of a lucky artillary round, by sun set, the defenders where exhausted surrounded and with no amunition and the St. Patricks batalion was fianlly captured and silenced but at a cost 21 american oficers and 245 americans were either killed or wounded whilst 238 mexicans were killed or wounded, most of them were artillary men. When Genral Twiggs entered the field to accept mexican surrender General Perdro María Anaya famously said "Si hubiera parque, no estaría usted aquí" if their were no field you wouldnt be here. Those who survived the battle where taken as prisoner up till the capture of Mexico City and fall of Chapultepec castle, where in three diferent days the survivng St. Patricks batalion members were marked as deserters with the letter D with hot iron on the 9th 10th and 13th of september of 1847 16, 4 and 31 members of the St. Patricks batalion where excuted, whether it be by volley or hanged, the surviving members including O´Reilly went into hiding and retired from military life for good. In august 31st 1850 O´Reilly would pass away and at the same time the St. Patricks batalion was disbanded completly. P.S. soryy if its a little bit long but, i gotta squeez as mucb mexican history into this, there is a lot i didnt mention but i hope you get the picture. You guys are awsome love your music keep it up. Cheers form mexico :D

Can’t wait for the rest of the album to finally come out!

Excellent analysis. But I was expecting to hear about Italian and Japanese advances on tanks in the interwar years and during the second World War. I know, at least I think I know they were not as improving and advanced as the other powers mentioned in the video but I'd like to hear about them as for the advances since the second world War until today. Maybe in a part 2 possibly.

Charles de Gaulle also wrote a book about tanks and armor warfare. Just like Erwin Rommel. And The Steel General, Patton read those and many more.

Is there a reason why the Video isn´t listed ?

Found this channel today, have been bingeing all my favorite songs. tanks are a favorite topic.

Meanwhile in somewhere in 2007. . “Tank beats Ghost”. “Tank beats Hunters.” “Tanks beats everything!!” “Aw Man I can do this all day”.

The sabaton history channel has better history then the history channel, change my mind.

Can't wait to see Sabaton in St. Louis!

Good to see you guys back!

Woohoo! Been waiting for this one.

Tanks for the video, and all the history/stories behind the song.

Seeing you guys in October! Can't f!*king wait.

Sabaton History as a good morning,thanks...

So Sabaton had their own tanks? You know I would pay money to seen the animated versions of the Time Ghost Army and Great War crews animated and driving their own tanks too.

It’s hard to describe the pure childish excitement I get when a new sabaton song comes out, it’s about the coolest thing ever (tanks, duh) and then I learn the lyrics and get ready to learn the history from this channel and Indy, damn I love this channel! 🤘

FINALY got to see Sabaton Last night (23/Sep) after missing them 4 times in a row (last time with tickets in hand). Fantastic show. in Minneapolis. I WILL see Sabaton again but when they are the headliner. Thanks for a fantastic show. This song was so FUN to hear live.

Can't wait to you guys next Saturday in Everett, WA! I bought my dad and I tickets to see you guys as an early Veteran's Day to him. He served in the 3rd ID, same as Audie Murphy, who To Hell And Back is about.

Santon history rocks keep it up

100th like! Thank you for doing a video on this song! I always love learning about Tanks!

Could’ve sworn I subscribed, awesome stuff. Listened to these videos all throughout my driving through QROO Mexico

How did i miss this one??!! this has been out for 3 months??

Surely the centurion is a better representation of future tanks than the comet.
