WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Your Sabaton history fix this FFF is about a small battle that sounds almost improbable. As Indy says at the end of his summary, it is amazing this hasn't been picked up for a movie. It has all the elements of an action-adventure tale. This battle took place on May 5th 1945, just days before the cessation of hostilities in Europe, and makes today the actual anniversary.

Later in Indy and Joakim's post-summary discussion, they move on to matters pertaining to 2020. You may not wish to listen to that bit about rearranging concert schedules and such... but it struck me that this has already become 'history' to the extent that three years ago now feels like a hundred and three, somehow... There is only a lyric video available for the song, which I link here for you to go listen to if you so choose.

  4. I was only 7 months old during this time. If only this were The Last Battle. It would make a good movie.

  6. Wow! Great story, thanks for sharing! Somehow I thought there was a movie, or maybe a TV documentary about the Last Battle as it seems a little familiar....off to research!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  7. That's an amazing story and we can't believe it hasn't been made into a movie ever.
