Floor is married to Hannes, the current drummer and are therfore not in this video. Also, Sabaton has their own history Chanel where they talk about the history behind every song. That can be worthy to check out

Your reaction is why Sabaton does these sort of songs. The events, the soldiers, the battles, etc. etc.. should be remembered lest thier deeds, sacrifices, and stories, be forgotten. And what better way to immortalize these events in the collective conciousness of humanity, than through song? Sabaton doesn't glorify war. They tell how it was, regardless of outcome or "which side".

If you know details the Battle of Wizna is even more crazy. There was 42 thousands German soldiers with around 350 tanks and artillery and air support versus around 700 Polish soldiers with couple dozen heavy machine guns and couple light anti-tank guns. So actual comparison of force is more like 60:1. And it's not like it was some one-of-a-kind event. Battle of Bzura where outnumbered 2:1 Polish divisions held out for 10 days or Battle of Westerplatte where small contingent of Polish soldiers was supposed to defend their position for 1 day but they held it for an entire week and surrendered only because their supplies were running low.

The song 40-1 speaks of the Defense of the Wiza in Poland. Defense of Wizna - the battle that took place on 7-10 September 1939 in the area of ​​Wizna, north-east of Łomża. The Wizna resistance point was formed by the unfinished (modernized) line of fortifications since the spring of 1939, stretching over several kilometers and forming part of the permanent fortifications on the section Wizna - Strękowa Góra (inclusive) - Osowiec-Twierdza (including the Osowiec Fortress) - Goniądz (including ). According to German war strategists, Wizna was the weakest link in this defense line. The defenders under the command of Kapitna Władysław Raginis, apart from unfinished shelters, had - 6 light cannons, 24 heavy machine guns, 18 machine guns, 2 anti-tank rifles. The German Army under the command of General Heinz Guderian had - about 42 thousand. soldiers, 350 tanks, 657 mortars, guns and grenade launchers, Luftwaffe aviation support. The Germans thought they would beat the Poles right away. And they were struggling for 3 days

Battle of Hodów (11.06.1694) - Battle also known as Polish Thermopylae. A clash where 400 hussars and medium cavalrymen successfully repelled the attack of about 40,000 Tatars and forced the enemy to retreat.

Fun fact: After Sabaton sang 40:1, their audience crowd began to sing Polish hymn. here is link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epiDn9CY29CsYp8.html anthem begins at 1:26:41

Battle of wizna,world war two. And floor is married with the current drummer of sabaton : hannes van dahl , in this concert the drummer is robben back who is replaced by hannes in 2013. A short interview ( only 7 min ) with hannes and floor in their home: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftJpfLGHyrmUho0.html

Sabaton, a half pole singing songs of polish heroes in Poland.... Crowd reactions on this, and uprising, and winged hussars. are amazing.

They would probably held them longer but they were out of ammo, so they had to surrender

yeah for 3 days this is Polish Termopylae Wizna

Sabaton is about historia all they songs

Polska 🇵🇱💞

If you want more information about the history behind the songs check out the history channel (Sabaton history) The episodes are very informative and every single song that they sing about that contains history elements has an episode on the channel at current; not to mention the last episode contains bloopers. Oh yeah floor Jansen is married to the current drummer Hanne Van Dahl. The band has had a few reorganisations since the live at Woodstock festival in 2012 including changing of the drummer and two guitarists. Joakim (singer) and Par (lead guitar) haven’t changed since they founded the band. These guys still tour they last touring in 2020 they had to call off due to Covid. I was called The great tour based on their 2019 album The Great War. Based on World War 1.

Great reaction Ace to a great song! You need to try En lifstid I krig next, it will blow you away. Also, if you like Floor Jensen, she sang the end credits on Sabaton's Christmas Truce, probably Sabaton's best work.

Check Sabaton History Channel and episode 001, its about this song

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wizna There you have what they sing about

React to En livstid i krig (A Lifetime in War) Live in Gothenburg 2019 👊👊

Enjoy your reactions to Sabaton. I recommend No Bullets Fly animated story vid for the next one.

check out DEVIL DOGS by sabaton about the us marines in ww11...sabaton also have their own history channel on youtube for all the stories behind their songs

The war they sing about is a war called "world war 2". A war fought between alot of nations all over the globe during 6 years. But it all started when Germany ruled by Adolf Hitler invaded Poland 1 september 1939. The event they sing about is "Battle of Wizna", and it was between 7-10 of September. While the war was pretty fresh and no Allied nation wanted to "dance along" leaving Poland by its own. You mentioned that you are an American(I guess USA?).USA did actually join this war after the "Attack on Pearl Harbor" 4 December 1941, USA was allied against Germany. Sabaton don't take sides, they don't push opinions or views. They tell history. "This happened". And every sabaton song will teach you something. One concept I like to do is to look at the "Sabaton history"-channel and hear all about a specific song. The listen to the song afterwards. Maybe this can be something you do while we watch :)

Battle of Thermopylae Four thousand three hundred Greek coalition including Leonidas and the three hundred Spartans vs the Persians who had one hundred to one hundred fifty thousand soldiers. Odds of 34 to 1 Just saying. Also speaking of if you would please do a reaction to Sabaton Sparta if you haven’t already. Great reaction by the way

Dude, please do Eluveitie! Rebirth first, then other songs. They are a Swiss folk metal band and they combine metal instruments with folk instruments like flute, violin, and bagpipes. There is other cool stuff about them, but I'm not revealing until you watch them! 😂

You probably know this by now, but it is the drummer who is married to Floor. En lifstid I krig Live (has closed captions) and Lifetime of War. Attack of the Dead men Bismarck Great war Konungens Likfärd and long live the king Lejonet Från Norden and Lion from the north.

Thanks Good reactor :) Please review Sabaton, christmas truce, inc the en credits which are floor Jansen from nightwish there are marriage to sabaton band member Hannes van Dahl :) Imagine to be first person there go up from the truce The truce happen in ww1

Battle of Wizna (40: 1)

Cpt Raginis not soldier. Cpt. Raginis was officer of border, and safe during the II WW. Of corse brave for polish man. Cpt Raginis is maine signs.

Polacy nie proszą walczą do końca

you think 40:1 is impressive from a military standpoint. Try Resist and Bite. THe song is about unit on the Belgian border who was only 40 rifles strong, and they held off the freaking Ghost Division (possibly the most feared Panzer division in the Wehrmacht) for a few days.
