“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old…” Many countries around the world observe Armistice Day today - marking the end of World War One and remembering the millions who died in this conflict. Our amazing historian friend Indy Neidell created a whole Youtube Channel to tell the story of The Great War from start to finish. Anyone wanting to learn more about this important period in history should check it out - and where better to start than his interview with our own Pär Sundström? http://bit.ly/TheGreatWarPar Do you think Sabaton should write more songs about The Great War in the future?

Leslie “Bull” Allen - an Australian soldier who was awarded the United States Silver Star for rescuing 12 Americans wounded in the Battle of Mount Tambu in 1943 - was born 102 years ago today. The Ballad of Bull, from our album Heroes, tells the story of his role in that World War II battle. Listen to it here: http://bit.ly/BalladofBull
