To their own shore came the world war.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

    I have not been in a war. But I have flown quite a bit in my own home made airplanes, and hang glider.
    I often imagine, had I been 22 years old in 1943, I would have joined the Army Air Corps. To have flown a P 51 in combat over Europe, Good God. I would have moved heaven and earth to get in that Mustang.
    As they said, "We live in fame, go down in flame..." Sure, you might have gotten killed but at least, you got your name in the paper.

    I could have seen myself working a machine gun in WW1.

    But, God Forbid, don't put me in a submarine! I get claustrophobic just looking at these battle scenes. Thank God at age 22 I was 6-3 and 195, too big for the submarine. I couldn't even have left the port in that damn thing they would have put me in the military looney bin first.

    Those guys, whether Krauts or Americans, who served in submarine duty, especially in WW1, were some real bad *.

    Video says unavailable when I tried to play it.
    Fanatic collector of the 10mm auto.

    Mike, I didn't know about the other stuff outside of the Sabaton videos. They seem to cover just about everything military-related, from what I've seen so far, and only started listening to them in the last six months or so. One of my favorites so far is the song and video on the Bismarck. Lots of CGI pulled from World of Warships trailers, but it looks decent enough.
