for those who dont know the Song is about The story of the Chasseurs Ardennais, whose emblem is the wild boar. A small Belgian unit of soldiers who were supposed to defend the borders and hold their ground along the K-W Line in May 1940. When the German armies, which included Rommel’s Ghost Division, approached the unit, they were supposed to retreat but due to communication failure the order never reached them. Instead they honoured their original orders, which were to defend the border at all cost. They fought so bravely and on such a large front, that they tricked the axis into believing that they were facing a force much larger than 40 rifles strong. When finally they were captured and their captors asked them -”where are the others?” they simply laughed and answered. -”There are no others, we are all!”.
The song gets its title from their motto Resiste Et Mords, in English, Resist and Bite.

*Germany:* Wait, so you only have 40 men? How did you manage to hold off our 3, 000 elite shock troops?
*Belgium:* Well, you got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense.

For those interested in the full story behind this song:

At the Belgian Ardennes border, Rommel had chosen a little valley with a single bridge as a crossing point for the entire panzer push. Guarding it was a single company of infantry, the "chasseurs d'ardennes" (ardennes hunters) of about 60 men. This might sounds ridiculous, but at this point in time hope was still that Germany would back off OR attack at the much more fortified positions at the meuze. Nobody really expected them to come trough the ardennes (as the french will confirm..)

Their orders were to delay any Germans crossing the bridge until other forces could be redeployed. Needless to say, nobody took an entire panzer regiment into account. When Germans scouts on motorcycles crossed the bridge, everybody was so surprised they just let them ride on untill they even rode right by the company HQ. Seeing Germans passing by, the company commander falsly believed their position had already been overrun and he fled. Severed from all communications, the 60 or so chasseurs engaged the incomming Regiment and actually held them up for 2 hours fighting and another 2 when Rommel halted the advance, refusing to believe the then captured soldiers who said their were only 60 Belgians (-KIA's) present. Because who would be so stupid to engage a regiment with a company? It had to be an ambush of some sort....it wasn't

So in total they held up the German crossing for 4 hours, simply because they didn't recieve an order to retreat.

Last fun fact: In Belgian army officer training, this scenario is still played as a wargame excercise on the exact same location. Nobody in our training ever came close to a realistic 4 hour delay.

When the German classmate tries to take your waffle

[marcellofabrizio]

"Sir, we need reinforcements, they're killing us all!"
"Son, you don't get it. We are the reinforcements!"
Classic one

"Where are the rest of your soldiers?"
"You're lookin at 'em Hans"

This belgian company delayed the blitzkrieg longer than the whole french military

Soldier: captain we're surrounded!
Captain: Great we can fire in all directions!

WW1: Germany goes through hell trying to take out Belgium.

WW2: Well, that can't POSSIBLY happen again, right?!

[panoskamp]

This reminds me so much of a Greek /German fight during WW2. In the battle of the Forts, a Greek soldier named Dimitrios Itsios stayed behind to defend their lines with just two soldiers to help him. They alone caused 300 casualties to the Axis and once they were captured the commander asked 'Where is the battalion that we fought?' and Dimitrios Itsios said ' It's us, just us.' then the German commander said 'Well done soldier. You lived up to your ancestors' reputation.' Dimitrios responed 'I just did my duty' and then the commander said 'Yeah, and I must do mine as well.' and he shot Dimitrios Itsios in the head, killing him instantly of course. Later some German and Italian soldiers took photos with the Dimitrios's corpse as a... trophy.

I was listening to this while mopping the floor.
That floor is fucking clean now
The roof too, I'm not quite sure how

Sabaton makes you feel patriotic about nations you don't even live in.

[Asertix]

Skillet makes music to live by.

Disturbed makes music to fight by.

Sabaton makes music to die to.

[danielhawes]

As a US Veteran and a student of history I have to say the Belgian military has a legacy of the fiercest soldiers in history. Given the same odds other countries fold in days. Belgium makes you bleed for every inch.

Where are the bullets?

They Argonne.

[GhostBear]

Imagine the look on the German officer's face when after fighting for close to 3 weeks with his army making little to no progress you finally take the enemy position, expecting it to be littered with enemy dead and wonded as you get ready to detain the survivors. Instead all you find are 40 men who laugh at you when you ask about the rest of their unit, because there is no rest of the unit.

[ghalzos]

Remembered this song when i read about the Heroes of the Snake Island. They have chose to keep their national dignity instead of surrendering to nuclear bullies. Salutations to all Heroes whom chosen to resist and bite.
