Totality . Dropshot . War Hour .

In this 36-minute compilation, we trace the traces of war, propaganda, and espionage – and ask the question: What have we learned?

👉 Part 1 shows top-secret US, British, and Soviet nuclear plans from the 1950s and 1960s – from "Totality" to "Dropshot" – accompanied by Edwin Starr's iconic anti-war song "War."
👉 Part 2 takes us right into the heart of World War I: with impressive scenes from Sabaton's animated film "The War To End All Wars – The Movie," from battles to avalanches in the Alps.
👉 Part 3 breaks the heaviness with a tongue-in-cheek twist: the legendary "War" scene from Rush Hour – Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker show that humor is sometimes the most powerful weapon against violence.

🎶 Music: War – Edwin Starr
🎬 Bonus: Sabaton (animated film excerpt), Rush Hour Trilogy (film quote)

"War Hour" is a deliberately contrasting anti-war video that combines the past, pop culture, and irony – while conveying a clear message: War brings no peace to anyone.

📌 Facts about the animated film "The War To End All Wars – The Movie"

🎬 The film is based on Sabaton's 10th studio album, The War To End All Wars (2022), and was released in 2023.
🎨 Produced in collaboration with the animation studios Yarnhub and Samwise Didier, known for historical visualizations.
🪖 Thematically, it illuminates key moments of the First World War: trench warfare, the "Christmas Truce" of 1914, the use of modern warfare – and lesser-known episodes such as the fighting on the Balkan Front or avalanche disasters in the Alps.

⚔️ Reference to the Third Battle of Doiran (1918):
From September 18–19, 1918, Greek and British troops attacked the positions of the Bulgarian First Army at Lake Dojran (Macedonian Front).
👉 Despite massive assaults, the Bulgarians were able to repel all attacks. Only later did they withdraw in an orderly manner when the overall front collapsed.

🌍 Historical context:
The Balkan Front often played an underestimated role in the World War. Sabaton deliberately addresses these themes to bring awareness to lesser-known chapters of world history.

🎶 The album's songs – including "Stormtroopers," "Christmas Truce," and "Soldier of Heaven" – are closely intertwined with the visual scenes in the film, creating a blend of music, history, and edutainment.

💡 Background:
The title "The War To End All Wars" refers to the hope at the time that the First World War would be the last of its kind. Tragically, the Second World War followed just two decades later.
