This song tells the story of the Battle of Wizna between September 7th and 10th 1939 during the German Invasion of Poland at the beginning of the Second World War. The 720 Poles had 42,200 Wehrmacht-soldiers of the XIX Army Corps under General der Panzertruppe Heinz Guderian against them (so the song should actually be called 59:1) but nevertheless delayed the approach of the Wehrmacht seriously.

CAUTION!

I won't tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work.

"No, we don't glorify anything, we just tell stories about things that have happened." (Rikard Sundén, Sabaton)

Dieses Lied handelt von der Schlacht bei Wizna zwischen dem 7. und 10. September 1939, während des deutschen Überfalls auf Polen am Anfang des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Den 720 Polen standen 42.200 Wehrmachtssoldaten des XIX. Armeekorps unter General der Panzertruppe Heinz Guderian gegenüber (das Lied müsste also eigentlich 59:1 heißen), verzögerten den Vorstoß der Wehrmacht allerdings trotzdem beträchtlich.

ACHTUNG!

Ich dulde keine rassistischen, diskriminierenden oder in sonstiger Form unangemessene Kommentare! Dieses Lied verherrlicht weder Krieg, noch den Nationalsozialismus, sondern ist rein historisch zu betrachten!

"Nein, wir verherrlichen nichts, wir erzählen nur Geschichten über Dinge, die passiert sind." (Rikard Sundén, Sabaton)

The actual strength of each army was 42200 Germans vs ~720 Poles, which comes out to a power ratio of about 60:1, and thats only counting infantry. The Germans also had around 350 tanks, around 650 mortars and howitzers, and aerial support. The Poles had about 6 76 mm guns, 42 MGs, and 2 antitank rifles. The Germans suffered slightly higher casualties and eventually won, but the fact that they didnt steamroll the Poles immediately is a testament to the Polish bravery and skill.

When I was in college studying this time period, the professor made the comment that if Britain and France had attacked while Germany was invading Poland, they could have taken Berlin before the Wehrmacht could even have made it back to the German border. It would have been nice to know if that was true. Instead, Europe burned.

Dear Sabaton,Never forget the bombing of Dresden.Sincerely, a Polish-Canadian who sees that your views are completely one sided, but thinks the music itself is excellent.

The song is about one certain battle, in this battle polish soldiers have been "second to none" and had the "spirit of Spartans". Most of them fought to death as they commander has sworn. Pay deference to them as they deserved. Without any questions Germany had great soldiers too (listen to Ghost Division - another of my favorite Sabaton songs). But that is another story.

Gotta give it to the poles, they compete with the Finns for the title of "Spartans of the 1940's"

This shit is poetic and beautiful if you read up on the history behind the song. The courage of those men fighting against insurmountable odds and staring death in the face all to protect their home land that they loved. I admire that kind of determination and discipline.

I love this song and respect Polish soldiers, but I have to agree with all the comments. The lyrics are kind of ridiculous. They make it sound like Poland did so much and all that, but in reality they didn't. I wonder where they came up with the lyrics.
