Sabaton - Talvisota music video

My music video for Sabaton's great song Talvisota. I was inspired by Hamieli's great video, and wanted to make my own version. Clips from movies: Talvisota & Etulinjan edessä (Framom främsta linjen) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Lyrics:

Rise of nations pride

Russians on a route to ruin
Kreml is more then certain to win
Sent away an army to the west

Blizzard reigned the ground were chosen
Snow was deep and hell were frozen
Stalin were too eager to invade

He thought of the might he possessed
And not of his foe
Rage of winter

Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts

Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line

Split them into small divisions
Rip 'em of the conquest visions
Motti tactics used with great result

Snipers move unseen in snowfall
Force them to retreat and recall
Fight the Russian rule and their demand

With Molotov cocktail in hand
No fear of their tanks
Death or glory

Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts

Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line

A slice of a knife to a throat
And their blood turns to ice
TALVISOTA!

Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts

Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line

Rise, nations pride
Hold whats yours
Strike'em were it hurts

Fight, hold your ground
Winter war
Reinforce the line

Fuck Mordor orks, good job. Go Suomi !

[Gottmituns1610]

To me massive wild hordes of Russians look like Mordor orcs from Lord of the Ring movie. And Finns small group of christian civilisation defenders.Tolkien did his job after 2ndWW, brits as all civilized men hated soviets. The only ones who admired these mongolian barbarians were hired for cash spies and useful idiots.

[Pertsukh]

Yes, we lost many soldiers. But we won and liberated Karelia. You are lucky that they are not commanded by any farmer in the dense wilderness of Finnish. You commanded the Russian tsarist general Mannerheim, otherwise things would have been much sadder for you. But still in this war you lose.

[ThabigT101]

@MakBDF Dunno, but Stalin, for an example, said in public that the soldiers who died in the winter war was low, about ten to twenty people. Also, there has been lots of research about the casualties, and no one of them are agreed on the true number, yet... But if what your'e saying are true, the Finnish did even better. :D

[MakBDF]

@ThabigT101 Russian general Khrushchev wrote about soviet losses in Finland 1939-40 "1.5 million men were sent to Finland and one million of them were killed. 1000 aircraft, 2300 tanks and armored cars and an enormous amount of other war materials were lost. " Well it's hard to say who is right russian sources or wikipedia?

[ThabigT101]

The Finnish had: 250.000 soldiers, 30 tanks and 130 aircraft

The Soviet Union had: 1.000.000 soldiers, 6548 tanks and 3800 aircraft

The Finnish lost: 22 830 soldiers, 43 557 soldiers was wounded and 1000 soldiers was captured

The Soviet Union lost: 126 875 soldiers, 264 908 soldiers was wounded and 5400 was captured

Dude, u gotta give it to the Finnish. They lost, but only because the Soviet had more supplies and soldiers. Way to go! (and f**k you, Stalin!) \m/

@Gottmituns1610 The lower reserve officers like my dad were just those young, educated men. Think what you want, but they went in the front of their troops and suffered highest losses. Moreover, if you understood Finnish you would realize that even the Ostrobotnians did not hate their opponents, they just did what they had to do - and they did quarrel about politics already in the train. The strenght of Finland was in a united opposition to Stalin's slavery and in will to fight for freedom.

[lauoks]

@Gottmituns1610 No problem. But recall that Finland in 1939 was a very heterogeneous nation, with still big tribal differences, and bigger social ones - only 20 yrs had elapsed from the bloody civil war between reds (workers and sharecroppers) and whites (bourgeoise and land owning farmers). Urbanization was rapid and an increasing number of people got academic education. The strenght of Finland was that whaever their world view, all agreed that Stalin's communism was not for us - rather dead.

[MultiLordSam]

damn communist only destroy other countries and make war.

all their leaders are dictators.

i wish they are all dead.

im very proud on those brave finnish man!

[PeterGeinz]

@fiddeff Ha-ha-ha, 10-15..., what you smoke? All soviet army in northern region was 916 thousand soldiers, and finnish army + skyddskår.. And Finns have taught Soviet to be at war in the winter and Soviet will fall in love fight in the winter.

[Gottmituns1610]

@lauoks As history shows the most common sense have the farmers, perhaps because of their work is closest to nature. Communists and liberals hate them most of all. Here in Poland, synonymous of the biggest fool is young, educated man from a big city. Such guy is buying every sort of PR except the truth.

[lauoks]

@Gottmituns1610 That is what many Ostrobotnia farmers thought. Fortunately for Finland, they had not to figth alone. The whole nation, including urban liberals like my parents and the "woodland communists" (korpikommunisti) of Suomussalmi figured out that whatever they thought about politics Russians etc Stalin's attack had to be stopped. Read also about the Ässä regiment (most of them communists from Sörkkä) and the heroes of Suomussalmi-Raate, and you get a broader perspective.
