This song is about an event in WWI called "White Friday" on the Italian front the 13th of December 1916. The Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies bombed and shelled the mountainsides with planes and artillery hoping to bury each other's forces. They both succeeded, hundreds on both sides died to avalanches alone that day. Throughout the winter of 1916 it is estimated that around 10,000 soldiers died to avalanches. When the song references watching over other battles it is talking about all of the bodies preserved in the ice that were never recovered, those bodies saw the end of both world wars.

Also, the White Friday avalanche was 2nd deadliest in history.

One of(many) favourites by Sabaton. Filmed with green screen. They were in a studio. Imagine that soldier actually frozen in the ice, only seen in a shimmer. Outposts up in the alps and then the lavines start running. Austrian-hungarians vs Italians in 1915. Both sides shot into the snowmasses, gettin the lavines runningdown the mountsides, burying soldiers and also civilians. Many of them still up there, frozen into the glacieres. Forever 'guarding' those alpine passes, silent witnesses to the continued warfares.

Seconded for The Attack of the Dead Men. 😄 Next to the new 1916 tribute cover, White Death and Talvisota that's one of my favorites fo sho. The story is _unbelievable_ - straight out of a horror film as well as a documentary.

A plane crashed high up into the mountains, so high...his body is not retrievable. He remains in the ice and snow forever...and he's also so high, he's now a Soldier of Heaven. Very good try at an interpretation from what you were hearing! Good job Kaireem! Sabaton gives us great songs, w great stories! ❤

Yet part of reactions is that often reactors don't know the story, and they are trying to figure it out. What It Do Dave did this with Ghost Division. It's a bit difficult for people who know the background to listen to someone struggling with guessing the story. But again, some of that is very interesting to watch. It's hard for me to show people Christmas Truce, and right away they say, "Oh, yes, I've seen this film," when in fact they haven't seen Sabaton's fine, original video. Then, they become quiet when they realize they haven't seen it, and this is an incredible, original piece of musical art.
