Sabaton History
Published 6 Aug 2020

At the end of September 1939, Poland was burning. Trapped in an ever shrinking corridor between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army, the last remaining Polish forces were still holding out. Isolated, short of ammunition and supplies, and without hope for relief. The last Polish Army, the SGO Polesie, was making its way towards the Vistula, as it was cut off by German motorcycle troops. Determined to sell their lives dearly, the SGO Polesie dug in and prepared for a last stand.

Sabaton History
2 days ago (edited)
Once again the time has come for the Polish people to show what they’re made of.

This time they’re facing a gargantuan two-headed monster of an enemy and are outnumbered many many times over.

They may not win, they may not even live to see another day — but The Polish will not give up without giving their all.

Spirit of Spartans
Death and glory
Soldiers of Poland
Second to none

So come, bring on all that you’ve got
Come hell, come high water — never stop!
