A battle constantly overlooked here in the Western Hemisphere, but a fight every bit as Brutal as any in Normandy.

Sabaton's song I am familiar with, however, not Nightingales.



both I think sound pretty good, though I think I prefer Nightingales. As much as I like Sabaton, that song I think is one of my least favourite by them. The riff sounds awkward, and the vocals don't fit, IMO.



well, aside from a lot of Sabaton's, the only other WWII song I can think of is a pro-nazi song... so...

Screaming Eagles

I know, not the on that's "NOT about the Western Theater"... but the only one I know for sure aren't are Stalingrad (like I said, one of my least favourite Sabaton songs), Nuclear Attack, which is cool, but not near as god as Screaming Eagles IMO, and Midway, which is pretty short, yet very repetitive. not to mention it lacks any sort of information about the actual battle other than it's a naval battle and they'll meet at midway.

On a related note, While I think due to what he did, Hitler is evil, and if I had the chance to travel back in time, I would do everything and anything I could to stop him from rising to power. That being said, I think that Hitler had the potential to be one of the greatest, if not, THE greatest military leader in history. There were a few fatal mistakes he did that prevented him from winning the war.



1 - the Holocaust. Not only was it morally wrong, and and atrocity to humankind, but it also knocked out a huge chunk of the German military. something like 30% of the German army pre WWII was Jewish, not to mention the fact that it took a lot of man power to operate the Death camps, and to capture the Jews. A lot of the people involved in running the camps were Hitler's most loyal men. not to mention a lot of the scientists that worked on the atomic bomb were European Jews escaping the Nazis, including Albert Einstein who developed the formula E=MC^2 which states that a small particle (such as an atom) could release a vast amount of energy.



2 - allowing for the British army to evacuate France. Once France was conquered, Hitler ordered the German army to surround the south half of France. If they had of surrounded the north half, the completely defeated British army and remaining French army could have been finished off and most likely this would have forced Britain to surrender.



3 - not actually communicating with Japan. Japan proved to be a much more powerful ally than the almost useless Italy. However, had Hitler actually planned attacks with the Japanese, he could have had the Japanese attack the Soviets, while Germany cleared out UK and France, and once they were gone, turn around and give Russia the two front war that Hitler himself had so feared... instead, he let the Japanese (who had already beaten Russia badly before) bring USA into the conflict.

this could be a complicated question to respond to. somewhat from the standpoint of death the Stalingrad marketing campaign advance into far extra deadly. German/Soviet casualties numbered interior the thousands and thousands. The Soviet victory at Stalingrad saved an entire usa from being over run via the nazis. Normandy advance into the commencing up of a 2d front against Germany. With the western allies advancing by France, Holland and Belgium in the direction of Germany and the Soviets advancing from the east, victory against Germany grew to advance into certain. i might bypass with Normandy because of fact it somewhat is a risk that devoid of Normandy it somewhat is debatable no remember if the Soviets might have taken Germany on their very very own.

I can never think of Stalingrad without thinking of Vasily Zeitsev. and Hans-Ulrich Rudel and swarms of Stukas.



MA: Sabaton, though they are both good.



BA: Just non-obvious ones



Manhattan Project by Rush

--About dropping the atomic bombs on Japan



When The Tigers Broke Free by Pink Floyd

--About Roger Water's dad's unit at Anzio

well, you may guess what i'll pick as i listen to anything Dan does...but having said that, both songs are good. Sabaton is a fairly typical song by them and the heavier of the two, but I think Nightingale's song has more variation and to me..more emotion (i feel lame typing that, but it does)



BA:

umm, first one to pop into my head

Vreid - Speak Goddamnit
