Sabaton is a band from Sweden whos songs are about pieces of war history, they even have their own History Channel where they go through the real history behind the stories in their songs. Songs you ought to look for are "En livstid i krig" - The Gothenburg concert, it's in swedish but there are captions and this particular one is the best version, "No Bullets Fly" - animated story, Devil Dogs - about how the US Marines allegedly got their nick name, "Defence of Moscow" - about how the russians repelled the nazis when they invaded in WWII just to name a few. Also, fun fact, the woman who does the aria in the end credits is Floor Jansen of Nightwish who's married to the drummer of Sabaton, Hannes van Dahl - who was the guy that left the trenches first in this video.

We played a lot of Sabaton in Bosnia and Kosovo while we were stationed there. We were called SSG LB back then. We held command posts in Sarajevo after the our initial efforts, the US 401'st AB were some of the funniest guys I've ever served with which is important because if people are not funny at base they will not be serious in the field.

I have cried so many tears after that and I couldn't stop thinking about how we are capable of the worse in our human History, but this Light of Humanity that happened a long time ago, it just made me cry a lot more, even when I came back home, I couldn't stop thinking that we are fools to kill each other for so ridiculous reasons... And Sabaton, they revived in me that part of my memory, of what I felt in these trenches, and I cannot stop crying now... That is a phenomenal music and video guys, and as a worshiper of God, today I pray for all of us to believe in peace, to believe in what we have so much in common, I don't care if you are gay or straight, a believer or an atheist, of the color of your skin, of your gender of no gender, to me you are human, just a little part of the World, and I wish you peace, love and health, to be with the one you love in a comfortable home, free from hate, poorness and war...

When it comes to the songs No Bullets Fly and Nigth Witchers there are animated story video also there are a animated story video for Chistmas Truce song to. And those videos is made by Yarnhub. Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band or some say warmetal band. So we all welcome you two in to the Sabaton family!

Cheers from an American listener, from across the pond! Edit: Just to let you know, after this happened in 1914, there was a German commander who ended up shifting his unit to another section of the lines, because his men refused to shoot at the men they had made friends with the day before.

Maybe I’m just turning into a bitter old man but I’m not criticising people but the education systems around the world.

Good reaction, thanks! Almost 130 comments already, I'm sorry but I don't have the energy to check them all so with the risk of making a duplicate comment... So, young lady, you have seen the Cross already if I understood it right? It was erected in Saint Yves in Belgium in 1999 to mark the 85 year anniversary of the Truce taking place. You probably also noticed that Sabaton had changed one of the years for the purpose of this video, but other than that the Cross in this video is fairly accurate replica of the original. On the real Cross it reads "1914 - [The Khaki Chums] - Christmas Truce - 1999 - 85 years - Lest We Forget". If you for one reason or another should find yourself in the City of Liverpool I think you should go to Saint Luke's Old Bombed Out Church on Leece Street (at the corner of Great George Street?). There's something there that I think you should see. I wont tell you what it is but you will know when you see it. I hope everyone else here also will hold their piece and not spill the beans about what it is they will see. Cheers / B.

In the Christmas of 1915, the generals couldn't have that! So there was no repeat of the 1914 Christmas truce on this large scale, as the artillery kept firing ... Some DID come out of their trenches, but was mostly instantly killed by the enemy soldiers. No moment of peace in a war that'll never end ... Until 11 o'clock, 11th of November, 1918 ...

It all started with a world-wide message from the pope, urging for peace on Christmas. Many of the trenches refused a truce since they felt that the enemy simply couldn't be trusted. Many soldiers who tried to exit their trenches with peaceful intentions were instantly gunned down becasue of paranoia. However, on a brighter note, many trenches actually didn't start fighting again until well after the new year had begun. With this trench in particular (that the song is based on), it all started with the british soldiers singing "Silent Night", knowing that the germans would recognize it as a german christmas carol (written by two austrians). The germans responded by singing british christmas carols in turn, hence the lyric "and voices sang to me from No Man's Land". Interesting facts: this Sabaton song actually starts as "Carol of the Bells" and then evolves into an original song. Also, the small town where "Silent Night" was written was declared an intangible cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 2011. After this incident, high command on both sides banned any soldier from leaving their respective trenches with the threat of excecution.

At some parts of the Western front of 1914, this Christmas truce actually held up until (and slightly beyond) New years eve 1914-1915. However, This was the Only time in recorded history where there's actually been a truce between the sides waging war, because after this, it was decided that If there was another attempt of having some sort of truce during a holliday like Easter or Christmas or anything like that, you would be sure to face Court martial after, and so this was tve Only time there's ever been a truce during a holliday sinse.

The sad thing is about Christmas Day 1914, not every section of the western front had a truce. Some sections continued fighting, others used the day to bury the dead that was left in no mans land from the fighting. The leaders of the units that had the truce moved the men around so that the following year this would never happen, they even went as far as issue a standing order that anyone attempting such an act of "treason" would be shot in front of a firing squad. Though I would highly recommend the Sabaton History Channel if you want to know the stories behind any of the Sabaton songs including the full story of the Christmas Truce 1914.

Not only is it true, the Christmas Truce of 1914 is one of those stories that restores faith in Humanity. By Christmas 1914, the First World War had been waging for 5 months and had entered the long stalemate that would define the Western Front. For the men in the trenches, they were generations separated from conflict (the last major conflict on the European Continent was the Crimean War and the Napoleonic Wars were roughly a century before WWI) and this was their first Christmas away from family. Then one night, along the Western Front, multiple unofficial truces occurred. The popular story is that the British could hear the Germans singing Stille Nacht, or Silent Night, and then started singing along in English. From there, men got out of the trenches, went into No Man's Land, and celebrate Christmas together. It was a miracle.

I don't disagree BUT I've seen several people that don't know a word Swedish or German, getting moist eyes when watching 'Carolus Rex' or 'Got Mit Uns'. 'The lion from the north' have some lyrics in Latin that seem important to the unknowing listener 👌 A Russian opera singer heard 'the defense of Russia' and started crying after a while. She knew the story and was surprised over her own reaction UNTIL she replayed the part that made her cry. That part of the song actually had the Russian national anthem hidden within. Love or hate Russia, but hiding their anthem in the song was impressive 👍 'En livstid i krig' live in Gothenburg, is however my favorite.

As a matter of facts, this happened the 1st xmas 🎄 in the war. Next ones command staff just told soldiers that any soldier involved in another truce will be court martial. Good people dying for the selfishness of a few ones.

Sabaton is a Swedish band that writes and sings about Actual historic events, battles, moments of heroism and wars. They will be releasing their 10th studio album on March 4th 2022. Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's KZitem safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken) If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these: (These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use) [live at Woodstock 2012]: Ghost Division, 40:1 and Uprising [Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krig (make sure to turn subtitles on), Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling [Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama and The lost betallion [Music Video's]: Bismarck, Steel Commanders, Defence of Moscow, Livgardet (make sure to turn subtitles on), Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising & Seven Pillars of wisdom [Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's) [Covers]: Kingdom Come [Offical video] and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
