I think I have an unhealthy obsession with The Attack of The Dead Men · 6:23pm Jul 23rd, 2020
Not just the song, but also the battle.
I have problems...

I don't think it's that bad...it just means you really like it...
5319705
Yeah, maybe
5319711
I mean, you could say I have an obsession with cuddling changelings...
5319714
Oh?
5319716
Yeah, as in, writing about them cuddling. I can't help it if they're so cute!
5319720
True
5319722
Yeah
I have a gigant probem with this song
IT'S TOO GOOD

YES
Well, it's just one of Germany's worst military embracements. They ran away from the enemy already defeated because of a superstition. Truly, a spectacular and dishonorable defeat.

True

They have a song about another battle and a glorious one at that. Named "Counterstrike," the song about the "Six-Day War," when frenzied Jews smashed up everyone they could get their hands on in just 6 days and would've done even better if not for the international outrage. Jews, while having only been half of the strength compared to their enemies and fighting on 3 fronts, inflicted 15 times of their own casualties upon the enemy. Jews did not run and hide over some superstitious fears, they did what honor dictated, they looked at the odds and instead of being terrified they grimly got to work.
5320095
Yeah, I’ve heard. Another could possibly be 40:1, where a group of only 1,000 Polish soldiers held their own for three days against 40,000 German soldiers.
5320096
Yes, that one was glorious as well. Poles, like Jews, Ukrainians, Balts, any other people that were wronged, tend to be extremely lethal when provoked. That kind of people knows the value of what others are trying to take from them and they would rather die than surrender. They may often fight when poorly equipped, but it is not a weapon that kills, it's the man.

Human factor is what decides a battle. 20th-century war is not a medival war with 200 knights on one side and 250 on the other with the rest being just auxiliary. 20th-century war is a war waged with armies of conscripts and it takes a lot to make a conscript fight. Conscripts are not knights, training from youth to do this one thing. They are not Vikings, who considered it disgraceful to die in their own beds. Conscripts are the people torn away from the things they wanted to do. This is why Soviets got beaten up so badly while having a vastly larger military than Germany had. The Red Army, in its entirety, practically turned and ran away the moment the fighting started. The Red Army was comprised of the same people it was used to oppress before. Balts, Tatars, Ukrainians, Kazakhs and the vast numbers of others, were drafted against their will and remembered well Lenin's and Stalin's purges against their nations. They had no interest fighting for comrade Stalin.

That’s also true

While poles and fins, they fought because they wanted to fight. Poland just got its freedom back after a hundred years of being occupied by various European powers. Being robbed of it again was more than they could swallow even considering that it was not a winnable fight even without Soviets helping Germans. The very same for fins. Poles and Fins fought so bitterly because those not willing to protect their freedom are not worthy of it, it was a matter of honor for every single man, not just a political affair.
You can even see it nowadays too. Poles are preparing to fight against Russians again, while Ukrainians already do so. Poles may be a lot more refined, for they are the nation of empire builders, but Ukrainians are just as, if not more, bitter fighters than poles ever were. Russia has a million large army, yet for 6 years now Ukraniaians are not afraid. To every threat Russians can spit at them, Ukrainians answer with: "Come." They have no illusions about winning, but they are determined to make Russians bleed for every centimetre of their land nonetheless.
5320153
Wow
5320157
The world does not really change much. Old enemies always remain enemies no matter what happens. While friends always remain friends no matter how much bad blood there may had been. Both Poles and Ukrainians hate each other pretty strongly, for both have accumulated a lot of unsettled grudges in the past thousand years, yet they are more than willing to forget about that for now. If there's someone Slavs hate more than each other, it is Russians. Russians are hated informally by practically everyone. They are like Mordor, it gets challenging to find anyone they didn't hurt yet.

Huh.
