Sabaton - The Price of a Mile (Lyrics English & Deutsch) video free download
"I died in hell - They called it Passchendaele"
Siegfried Sassoon in Memorial Tablet (Great War)
The Battle of Passchendaele was one of the major battles of the First World War, taking place between 31 July and 6 November 1917. In a series of operations, Entente troops under British command attacked the Imperial German Army near the town Ypres in Belgium.
Although inflicting irreplaceable casualties on the Germans, the Allies had captured a mere 5 miles (8 km) of new territory at a cost of 140,000 combat deaths, a ratio of roughly 2 inches (5 cm) gained per dead soldier.
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)

"Ich starb in der Hölle - Sie nannten es Passchendaele"
Sinngemäß Siegfried Sassoon im Gedicht Memorial Tablet (Great War)
Die Schlacht von Passchendaele (auch Dritte Flandernschlacht) eine der größten Schlachten des Ersten Weltkrieges, fand zwischen dem 31. Juli und dem 6. November 1917 statt. In einer Reihe von Operationen griffen Truppen der Entente unter britischem Kommando die Armee des Deutschen Kaiserreiches in der Nähe des belgischen Ypern an.
Obwohl sie den Deutschen unersetzliche Verluste zufügten, konnten die Alliierten nur acht Kilometer an Gelände gewinnen; auf Kosten von 140.000 Gefallenen, was ein Verhältnis von etwa fünf gewonnenen Zentimetern pro getötetem Soldaten bedeutet.
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)

"The Allies had captured a mere 5 miles (8 km) of new territory at a cost of 140,000 combat deaths, a ratio of roughly 2 inches (5 cm) gained per dead soldier."The Allies fought for 6 miles, so roughly 9.6 Km.they lost 400,000+, not 140,000.And 92 Soldiers died every foot.8 years ago

If I ever taught history I would pass out sheets with every question that would be on the tests, then I would get onto teaching. If you only wanted to get an A in the class that would be out of the way, the rest of the time would be spent on actually learning. I would start a lesson on Passchendaele by asking how much land they thought all their lives together would buy just to show the immensity. All of my teachers, except for one, only focused on what would be on the tests and that was so wrong. As someone who loves history, I was shocked when we spent a single lesson(40 minutes) on the manhatten project, maybe a week on WW1, skipped the korean war, etc. WW2 was taught in a vacuum, as if it hitler was a madman who came out of nowhere, and focused almost entirely on the holocaust. Don't get me wrong, it's important to learn about the holocaust, but it's an utter disgrace to basically ignore the millions of men who gave their lives.In my school, history was taught in three years as world history(general overview), us1, and us2. My high school was considered one of the best in the country, so I shudder to think what is considered acceptable elsewhere since they were clearly only teaching the bare minimum. I know they cannot represent every minute detail, but it's shameful that a class on world history basically ignored ancient empires like carthage, persia, egypt, mongolia, etc. If I only knew world history from what I was taught there, it basically went invention invention of farming, Sumeria, brief mention of china, brief mention of most popular greek philosophers, ROME IS SO GOOD AND WE WILL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS THEM FOR THE REST OF HUMAN HISTORY FOR EVER AND EVER BECAUSE ROME AND WE WILL NEVER....., dark ages (mentioned in passing), and the enlightenment.How about instead of having students rap about how great john locke is, have students read The Prince so they can understand statesmanship which is literally the most efficient way to learn about history. How about instead of focusing on teaching for the test, focus on essays that actually show comprehension and critical thinking. How about instead of teaching that George Washington was the greatest general who ever lived, teach that he was actually pretty awful and only knew when to retreat.It would even be better if they just forgot about the rest of the ancient worlds history to focus on ancient europe if they wanted to focus on the preconditions for the united states. I don't intend to come off as a bigot by saying that, but considering the other two years were about american history it world make more sense to learn pre-american history first, no?So I guess what I'm trying to say is this: thank you sabaton, for teaching half as much about WW1 in 6 minutes as my US2 teacher did.8 years ago

Listen to this while reading Sven Hassel... It's fucking amazing.... Even if the song is about WW I, it's still amazing how the chorus is concording to what Sven Hassel tells...8 years ago

People like to say that the First World War was a pointless war. However, I would disagree. WWI saw the collapse and in most cases dismantlement of 4 empires, empires which were relics of an older Europe. The First World War was the last gasp of the imperialism and colonialism of the preceding 4 centuries. Without WWI we could very possibly be living in a world where there are colonies, in the original sense, around the globe. In history most things die with a bang, meaning that they inflate and expand until one day they collapse in on themselves. WWI was the collapse of colonialism and imperialism.9 years ago

Honestly...I, as Belgian person know Sabaton now since 1 year...I myself am 44 years old and have two daughters of 11 and 10 years old. The lyrics (lesson) in this song are no longer teached in school this day. I thank Sabaton for the fact that I can learn this to my daughters by listening music that they like. Like and learn! Never to be forgotten what happened in WW I9 years ago

Was there really a point to ww1, or was it needless? Was it's only purpose to cause the anger that brought about the true evil men were capable of as seen in the Nazis in ww2?9 years ago

This song and Paschendale by Iron Maiden are the 2 best songs about WWI. They capture the sadness of the Battle of Paschendale and all the lives that were lost in those muddy fields. They are probably 2 of the most emotional metal songs ever made.9 years ago

For some reason this song just has something about it that describes war better than any other song. Their other songs are rousing, and patriotic, but this one makes me want to cry. To many men died, for too little. 9 years ago
