In 1682 king Charles XI started to reorganize the Swedish army which proved to be rather weak in the Scanian War (1674-1679). Each province was bound by contract to raise and supply a regiment of 1,200 men, called Caroleans.

During years of training the infantry tactics grew more efficient than anywhere else in Europe. The soldiers had to march on until they were close enough to see the white in their enemies' eyes. Then the front row kneeled and the first two ranks fired their muskets at the same time.

The iron-hard discipline and courage which was needed for such offensive battle tactics was made possible by the strong belief in God every Carolean had. So the Swedish army often managed to defeat a numerically much larger host.

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, founding member of Sabaton)

----------

Nachdem sich die schwedische Armee im Nordischen Krieg (1674-1679) als militärisch schwach erwiesen hatte begann König Karl XI. 1682 sie komplett zu reformieren. Jede Provinz wurde vertraglich verpflichtet, ein Regiment von 1.200 Soldaten, die als Karoliner bezeichnet wurden, aufzustellen und zu unterhalten.

Während Jahren des Traininge wurden die Infanterietaktiken effizienter als irgendwo sonst in Europa. Die Soldaten hatten den Befehl, solange weiter vorwärts marschieren, bis sie das Weiße in den Augen ihrer Feinde sehen konnten. Dann kniete die vorderste Reihe ab und die ersten beiden Reihen feuerten ihre Musketen gleichzeitig ab.

Die eiserne Disziplin und der Mut, der für so offensive Taktiken nötig war, ist durch den starken Glauben an Gott zu erklären, der alle Karoliner verband. So gelang es der schwedischen Armee öfters, ein zahlenmäßig überlegenes Heer zu schlagen.

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, Gründungsmitglied von Sabaton)

Sabaton needs to write a "Fridericus Rex" album, about Frederick the Great of Prussia. They also would make a great song about Ernst Junger, one of the most badass men to fight in the First World War.

I never heard about Caroleans before listening to Sabaton, I also noticed they were the Swedish special soldiers in Civ 5. But such an impressive unit. Discipline above anything else. They would take the enemy fire, and continue on with such determination that it completely broke the morale of a numerically superior army. I even found battles where Sweden would lose less than 100 men while capturing or killing up to 20 000 Russians. That's battle of Thermopylae, but in the north.

Brothers, why are we throwing our Christian faith away? We need to be united as a Great Christian force, then no one could take on us. Even if we are divided into Catholics, Orthodox or Protestant. We are one Great *NATION*. A great nation with a great history, great inventions and decisions. I bow to the Christian faith, don't let politicians fool you, because everything that is created is created by people like you and me.

The Swedes were the greatest warriors of their time, taking on russia and forcing them to burn their land to stop the invasion because their army cant is achievement alone. Sweden did more, it totally crushed russias allies denmark, norway, saxony, poland, lithuania, turning them into puppets. The swedes went up to the enemy always fewer in number, but they marched on and won almost every battle. I mean its really quite incredible, almost impossible, that such a spareselly populated northern nation could put up such a fight against the worlds largest country, and a coallition of nations with more resources, man power and support. Sweden then clearly was the true master of warfare, as their viking ancestors proved before them
