In 1999. NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days with no UN mandate, to help Albanian terrorists in the southern province of Kosovo and Metohija. The Serbian Army fought back hard! The 15th, 211th and 252nd Armored Brigade were on the ground, together with the 78th, 125th and 549th Motorized Brigade and many others, totaling 350 tanks and countless artillery pieces. NATO, with total air superiority, managed to destroy only 13 tanks, 8 armored transports and 27 canons. This is a tribute to the “Ghost Divisons“ of our heroic Serbian Army and their fallen heroes! The video features original photos from the 1998/1999 Kosovo War, but also current photos of Serbian Armor and Artillery. I wold just like to state that the Sabaton lyrics “live to serve the Nazi plan“ can never be used for any Serbian Armed Forces in history, because Serbia fought Nazism hard and lost almost 2 million people doing it. We were on the right side of history in both world wars, so while the song is a great narrative about tanks and battle it does not literally describe the Serbian Army, which is in no way fascist. This video is not meant to glorify Nazism, as I am sure the band Sabaton did not wish for that line to be the point of this great song. Enjoy! Lyrics: Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun Shaking the ground with the force of thousand guns First in the line of fire, first into hostile land Tanks leading the way, leading the way Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm Fast as the lighting phantoms swarm 200 miles at nightfall, taken within a day Thus earning the name, earning the fame [Chorus:] They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division) Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread Always ahead, as the blitzkrieg rages on Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns First in the line of fire, first into hostile land Tanks leading the way, leading the way Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land (Waging war with conviction) Massive assault live to serve the Nazi plan (Wehrmacht’s pride, ghost division) Communications broken, phantoms too far away Thus earning the name, earning the fame [Chorus] Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force (Far ahead, breaks resistance) Breaching the way for panzer corps (Shows no fear, self-subsistent) First in the line of fire, first into hostile land Tanks leading the way, claiming the fame [Chorus] Panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division) Living our dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
