They were only 39 They were told to hold the line... I'm sure most of you know the rest of those lyrics. And after watching this episode of Sabaton History, you also know the real historical events behind those words. What some of you might not know though, is the story of the guitar solo in Hill 3234. As usual when Joakim had written the song, he sent it out to the rest of the band. Much to his surprise though, this time Thobbe Englund - lead guitarist at the time - sent a file back within the hour. Thobbe had just plugged his guitar in and hit play. He was literally listening to Hill 3234 for the first time when the solo spontaneously popped into his head, and he recorded it on the spot. And to make this solo even more special: it is that very first recording Thobbe made that ended up on the album! Not one single re-take. Talk about a blessing from the Muses...

HIs supplies originated from Pakistan. People forget the top three suppliers of the Mujahadeen were the US, Pakistan, and China. And they all funded tribes based on their own ideas.

I remember reading at the time soviet prisoners, mostly conscripts, would be skinned alive by the women if they were captured. The Afghans considered it highly entertaining to skin one man at a time in front of his comrades so they knew what was going to happen to them. Every so often the Afghans would send a survivor back so his comrades knew what happened.

There are songs about Soviet-Afghan war, most from the SSSR like: Alexander Rozenbaum - Чёрный тюльпан (Black Tulip ) Alexander Rozenbaum - Караван (Convoy) Aleksandr Doroshenko - Пыль глотаю (Swallowing Dust) Кино - Группа Крови (Blood Type) ЛЮБЭ - Солдат(Soldier) Most of them are gloomy songs about dying soldiers and all things they saw in Afghan war.

"Meant little to nothing in the end." Au contraire, it meant a lot for Afghanistan, just not really in a good way. Before the Soviets kicked in the door and installed their puppet ruler, there was an equilibrium of sorts. I'm not going to say it was a great situation (mainly because I don't know precisely), but it was at least moderately stable. Visitors from overseas came to cities like Kabul and felt safe (A number of hippies made their way there at some point in the 60s), for instance. That weird mix of feudal rural zones and nationally controlled cities is kinda a standard thing in Afghanistan, and it wouldn't make for the most stable of scenarios, but a national government that was willing to work with those other leaders the right way could at least accomplish some things. After the Soviets swept that delicate balance of power aside, things devolved into fighting between the national government (supported by the Soviets) and the warlords. And when the Soviets pulled out, there was nothing left but the warlords...and suddenly nothing for them to fight against as one. And the West also cut relations, because they were only supporting the warlords because they were fighting Soviets. Civil war breaks out, and eventually the Taliban comes out on top, with particularly harsh interpretations of the old ways being imposed on everyone. Moderates kinda became not a thing. Stir for another few years and then we get Afghanistan in 2001. So...yeah. It's impossible to say what things would've been like in Afghanistan if the Soviets had just left well enough alone (after all, that balance of power could've been tipped by something other than a Soviet invasion), but there's a lot of things that would've been different.
