========= The Attack of the Dead Men LYRICS =========

Turmoil at the front
Wilhelm's forces on the hunt
There’s a thunder in the east
It’s an attack of the deceased
They’ve been facing poison gas
7000 charge en masse
Turn the tide of the attack
And force the enemy to turn back

And that’s when the dead men are marching again

Osowiec then and again
Attack of the dead, hundred men
Facing the lead once again
Hundred men
Charge again
Die again

Two combatants spar
Hindenburg against the Tsar
Move in 12 battalions large
Into a Russian counter-charge
They’ll be fighting for their lives
As their enemy revives
Russians won’t surrender, no
Striking fear into their foe

========= Historic Fact ==========

In the early morning of August 6, 1915, the German gas batteries opened up and a dark green smog of poison gas crept over the Russian lines at Osowiec Fortress.

“Any survivors, Hans?”
“With all due respect sir, no one survives the gas.”
Russian: “No one is supposed to.”
“Ah thank you.”



“Wait”

[cobb]

Can you imagine the pure and utter terror those German men felt seeing half dead men basically melting charging them? The primordial fear and desperation that took place on that battlefield.

[GoldenAura]

"What's your favorite music genre?"
"History."

[kingbeans]

When the trees start speaking Vietnamese
When the snow starts speaking Finnish.
When the gas starts speaking Russian...

[EasyNickName]

Everytime, when I hear "And that's when the dead men are marching *AGAIN* " It ALWAYS give me goosebumps

[aidanc]

Their counter charge took place on the 6th of August, 1915. To think, in only 30 years, we went from Necromancy to the Atomic Bomb.

[loadeddice]

"You see Yuri, death is just German scare-tactic"

[Samarsky_Shalopai]

- Hans, is this poison really deadly?
-Of course
-Then why is this machine gun turning in our direction?

[chinggiskhan]

They were outnumbered 7 to 1, manning a fortress that was already bombed and gassed by the Germans, yet they ended up not only fending them off but also taking territory from them thanks to the efforts of the 13th company and their Lieutenants, both of whom later died that very same day. To say this battle was legendary would be an understatement, this was a once in a billion miracle

[keirantalent]

I can’t begin to think of the sheer agony these men were experiencing. Blood coming from your eyes, nose and mouth- literally coughing up pieces of your own lungs…

And had the willpower and determination to affix bayonets and charge a force that outnumbered them so greatly.

Unbreakable doesn’t begin to describe it.

[bgieyxo]

- Who your history teacher?
- Sabaton.

US: Failure is not an option

Russia: Death is not an option

[dlts-qohw]

"You see Ivan, death is a social construct"

[antebatina]

Something in history: *happens*
Sabaton: " whelp, it's a song now"

[cargaisontuba]

I can't imagine how terrifying that was for Germans. First, the defenders open their gates, in a dead silence, and then, through gas cloud, they see human shadows, standing, rifles in hand, outfit with blood and vomit on it, with terrible rage in their eyes, starting to charge...
So badass, full respect for them

[amorb]

"People die if they are killed"
Russia : "well yes, but actually no"

[NICEONELUCK]

An incredible song and the feat of heroes, their willpower ... Looking into the eyes of death itself and realizing that their life is already over, they went on the attack on 7 thousand enemy soldiers and repelled their attack ... I can’t even imagine how terrible it was the Germans to see how they are attacked by already dead enemies.

The snow speaks in Finnish
The trees speaks in vietnamese
The grass speaks in Korean
The mountains, grass, trees and fields speaks Filipino
And the dead speaks in Russian..
