On this day in 1683, THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED! 🤘 During the siege of Vienna, 140,000 soldiers of the Ottoman Empire were tearing the city's defences apart, but they were driven away when a relief force, comprising the famed Winged Hussars of Poland, arrived. Our song, “Winged Hussarrs” was written to pay homage to this point in history. Want to find out more about the Battle of Vienna? Read this 👉 sabaton.net/historical-fac…
@sabaton And went out in Vienna in this T-shirt today!
@sabaton Simply amazing song, a grand tale!
@sabaton And where this ship got its name...
@sabaton Should be a Europe wide national holiday in order to remember....for we are in danger of forgetting.
@sabaton Great historical story. The song was too repetitive with no narrative.
@sabaton Thanks for sharing all the historical info/background to your songs 🤘🏼 Can't think of any other band who does this. Btw, I was born in Vienna and then lived there in my 20's 🇦🇹
@sabaton A sad anniversary followed by an amazing one
