Fun fact, Erwin Rommel was the one in charge-at least for a while-of the 7th Panzer division. It's heavily believed that Rommel was a part of Operation Valkryie-assassination attempt on Hitler-, he never joined the Nazi's because he disliked the political ideals, he also is the one who set up the Atlantic wall at Normandy because he believed that's where an allied attack would be. Rommel was a very great leader.

No one *starts* a history buff. They just accumulate knowledge, facts and context by spending time looking up the history of things that interest them. Keep it up :D

[widowcdc]

"Defense of Moscow" literally has the soviet anthem as the guitar solo. Very much recommend checking that one out.

'We are Sabaton, were play metal and this is GHOST DIVISION!!!' when Broden yells this at you you know you are in for and amazing. They open every gig with this song.

[coletimony]

Dave, if you want to hear a sad power metal song, listen to Sabaton’s The Final Solution. Definitely a different pace but another amazing song to be sure

[eduardklima]

Dave: "I´m not a history buff."
Sabaton fans: "Don´t worry you will be." :)

[TheMackizar]

When I saw them live this was their opener. Maniacs simply sprinted onto the stage and started going insane. Was epic - Check out The Last Stand soon!!!

[Bowlingballs]

As a long-time Sabaton fan, I am going to put in a recommendation for "En Livstid I Krig, " Live in Gothenburg. If you don't get goosebumps, you probably don't have a pulse. Definitely watch it with English subtitles on. It is one of the most powerful songs you will ever hear, and you won't regret it.

Some Information.
The 7th Panzer Division was an armored formation of the German Army in World War II. It participated in the Battle of France, the invasion of the Soviet Union, the occupation of Vichy France, and on the Eastern Front until the end of the war. The 7th Panzer Division is also known by its nickname, Ghost Division.

The division met with great success in France in 1940 and then again in the Soviet Union in 1941. In May 1942, the division was withdrawn from the Soviet Union and sent back to France to replace losses and refit. It returned to Southern Russia following the defeat at Stalingrad, and helped to check a general collapse of the front in a series of defensive battles as part of Army Group Don, and participated in General Erich von Manstein's counterattack at Kharkov.The division fought in the unsuccessful offensive at Kursk in the summer of 1943, suffering heavy losses in men and equipment and was further degraded in the subsequent Soviet counteroffensive.

Through 1944 and 1945, the division was markedly understrength and continuously engaged in a series of defensive battles across the eastern front. It was twice evacuated by sea, leaving what was left of its heavy equipment behind each time. After fighting defensively across Prussia and Northern Germany, the surviving men escaped into the forest and surrendered to the British Army northwest of Berlin in May 1945.

If you want the history behind their song, check out Sabaton History

[patrioticjustice]

Attack of the Dead Men is one of the best songs Sabaton has done. A lot of people talk about Nazi zombies; little do they realize the Russians did it first in WWI.

[NightLgacy]

"One does not simply sit still, motionless, when Sabaton has graced your ears."

My sentiments exactly. I'm loving the reactions and commentary on my #1 favourite powermetal band. I just wish I found this channel sooner

[spleenslitta]

There is a couple of Sabaton songs that stands out. Ballad of Bull and In Flanders Fields.
Once you know what these songs stands for they make you cry to the point that you choke.

Wise man once said "The job of a soldier isn't killing the enemy, it's to make them so afraid they don't want to fight you in the first place."

"I'm not a history buff my any means"
I can tell you have the passion and enthusiasm of one!
This is my favorite band and I'm a huge history buff. And it makes me happy that others enjoy Sabaton as much as I do!
Lots of love from Canada 💖💖💖

Not gonna lie this man is an absolute joy to watch.
I stopped watching reaction videos some years ago, but Dave is one of the few I actually watch now since I stumbled across his channel recently because Sabaton. Have some good laughs here, and remember: Never force history onto someone, find a way to grab their attention so they want to learn.

Have a good night everyone, it's 1AM here and I need sleep xD

[Greywander]

"I don't think I've heard a sad power metal song."

Clearly hasn't yet listened to... Price of a Mile, Cliffs of Gallipoli, The End of the War to End War, and, well, you get the idea. Most of Sabaton's WW1 songs seem to emphasize what a pointless waste of human life it was.

[hannehammer]

All right Dave, we are Sabaton and this is Ghost Division!! It was also the epic opener in Frankfurt.

[merryrose]

Dave, I enjoy watching your Sabaton reactions, especially because you aren't a history buff, but show how people who don't like history can become interested through their music:) Regarding Ghost Division, it was the first live song of theirs that I heard in a concert. It was September 2022, and the third night of Sabaton's US tour. The covid restrictions had just been lifted. So, this was an incredible concert for so many reasons: the great song, everyone glad to be back together in a live concert, and it was Sabaton:) You can watch this live version of Ghost Division, Sabaton - Ghost Division + Stormtroopers [Live in Portland 9/17/22]. I'm so glad that someone filmed and posted it, and that Sabaton leaves it up on YouTube! Regarding the history of Ghost Division, sure, Sabaton's History Channel explains this historic event very well. You might enjoy the comments too. Rommel was not supposed to cross the "heavily fortified" Maginot Line, fortified by the French. Rommel completely ignored this order and pushed on. One of the comments pretends to be Rommel after he crossed it, asking high command, "THAT was the Maginot Line?" As for pushing on with speed, many posters have taken that literally: German soldiers were often given a form of speed to keep them fighting. So, the speed might have been fueled by speed. Best Regards!
