On August 1st, 1944, there was an uprising in Warsaw. Why so much attention on such a prolonged skirmish that resembled so many other similar all over the continent at that time? Increasingly that battle is considered by historians to have been a precursor to the Cold War, as there was so much manoeuvering and misinformation arising from the Soviet side and the delayed support of the allied forces.

The history portion today is presented by Spartacus Olsen, who adds gravitas to what was a catastrophe for the Poles. Indy and Joakim then have a good discussion about the song arising from The Uprising (yes, I actually typed that. No apologies.) It is not comfortable listening, but nothing about war should be. 

The music video is one of Sabaton's cinematic presentations and reflects that deeply disturbing aspect. Care should be taken in choosing to watch.
