I can recommend a book for you to read. It is called "A Higher Call" and the entire book is all about Charlie Brown and Franz Sigler before, during, and after the war. Franz lost the taste for blood while he was in North Africa. After his brother died in 1940, Franz became disheartened and he changed immensely. He would often get questioned as to why he never reported any victories (they were not allowed to call them kills), he had a few here and there but never bothered to tell anyone. Stigler was more concerned with keeping newly assigned pilots alive rather than being in the limelight. He was a true gentleman and a hero

[@TheThamesmen]

Many thanks I will look for that!

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Appreciate the shout out gentlemen. It is astounding that during the most inhumane events beacons of humanity shine brightly. I would suggest to you watching the official music video for '7 Pillars of Wisdom' but first I echo all the requests for 'Christmas Truce' it is flat out uplifting, heartbreaking and amazing all at once.

I love it how Sabaton tells these stories from all sides of the wars. Good music with some history to learn mixed in. There are so many good songs (I'm partial to those pertaining to Finland: White Death, Soldier Of Three Armies and Talvisota) from many perspectives. If you'd like, there's another animated tear jerker called Night Witches. Great song about a russian all female bomber squad.

[@tigeriussvarne177]

By far, my favorite Sabaton song, and the one I can most relate to. I live near Bremen (the place they bombed) and Oldenburg (where they almost crashed), and one of my Opas (Grandpa) was a AA-gunner at the Atlantikwall, in the Netherlands. I wonder if he saw a BF-109 escorting a B-17? Also, my grandma and aunts had to run to the air-raid shelter because of this air raid. Great reaction.

[@malkystoddart2562]

Morning Thamesmen. So glad you reacted to this- such an amazing story. The fact it was kept secret for 40+ years shows how sensitive an issue it was having enemies show mercy. US 8th Army Air Force bomber crews usually flew 25 missions over Europe (daylight raids normally) but would often fly 30 as this would usually mean they didn't have to return for a second tour. The actor James Stewart flew 20 missions himself- he actually was being used for training films etc (he was already a pilot before he joined up) but asked to be sent to an operational squadron and so was posted to England on B-17s. Glad you are enjoying your Sabaton journey- could I recommend that, due to the season, your next tune from them is the recently released 'Christmas Truce'? An amazing video to accompany an incredible story of humanity in amongst the carnage (and listen all the way through the credits too). Thanks again for such an excellent channel and take care both.

Not only did Franz Stigler escort an enemy plane, he also flew close to it so ground weapons couldn't fire, for fear of hitting him, too. What a guy!! Franz tried to get them to land in Germany and surrender, but Charlie refused. Then he tried to get them to land in a neutral country. When Charlie refused again, he just decided to stay and escort them across the water. Once he was sure that they were gonna be okay, he turned and went back. Also please note that Charlie was a rookie who also lied about his age. He claimed he was 25, but was only 21.

Great War itself is the general feel of the entire war and how the average soldier that fought in it felt it was all lies to get them to fight and die for their countries.

Hi gents. Speaking of discovering new bands who have been around for awhile that you’d never heard of……I’ve discovered so much “new” music the past two years. Was wondering if youve heard the band Alter Bridge? Been around since 1995 Or so I guess. Who knew? Not me! The singer, Myles Kennedy is EFFING AAMAZING…….top 20 in rock I think. Powerful voice, heavy instrumentals. I would suggest Blackbird. We’ll see if this band gets added to Nightwish, Sabaton, Aurora Muse and other wonderful “discoveries” in music we’ve all made.

[@TheThamesmen]

George here. I have never heard of the band alter Bridge so thank you for the recommendation.

And ancillary to that, there are other projects by Maynard….Perfect Circle and Puscifer. You guys like prog, right? How familiar are you with Porcupine Tree? Pineapple Thief? I’ve already mentioned Them Crooked Vultures, with Jason Bonham and Dave Grohl. Speaking of Grohl, have you ever seen the official video of The Pretender? Really powerful.
