Great music. Poles were true heroes. 720 vs. 42000 for 3 days? Awsome guys! RESPECT!
Wow! I never heard of this battle.
Sounds unreal but i checked wikipedia for info and the numbers posted in article are real. Respect!!!
I am from Poland and I must say that I also never heared about this battle.
I think it is great that Sabaton wrote this song, because now people who heared this will know that Polish soldiers were very brave. When I first heared
’40 to 1′ I felt proud of my history.
What do you feel when you listen to this song?
I feel a huge respect. Thanks for posting this.
I’m a swede myself and I have the deepest respect for polish history. I’m working on an essay honouring those 720 men.
It is all true. It one of the greatest battle ever fought.
The actual ratio is 59:1.
Polish solders fought number of great battles over the years, check them out:
all won by Poles and their allies:
Battle of Klushino: 4000 Poles against 48000 Russians, won by Poles.
Battle of Chocim: 50-60000 Poles and Cossacks against 150000 Turks
Battle of Vienna: 84000 Poles and Allied forces against 150-300000 Turks
and my personal favourite:
Battle of Kircholm: 3400 Poles against 11000 Swedes,
loses: 100 Poles and 9000 on Swedish side…
as one says: “No army may enter that land
That is protected by Polish hand”
I know it sounds unreal…
Thanks Sabaton for that song. More people are aware of brave Polish soldiers
