ALL OF MY FUCKING YES!
I love learning about World War II, and I especially love learning about the air war, as it was the last great war for air-superiority in history... At least on such a grand scale. To hear fucking World War II metal is probably the most bad-ass thing I think I have ever heard.
In that first one, the fact that they shout out to the Poles, Czechs, and Canadians sent a chill right up my spine. Those guys basically saved the asses of the Brits during the Battle of Britain, in addition to so many others affectionately referred to as "the Few" during Winston Churchill's address after the battle was won. According to Wikipedia (hey, can't be arsed to remember numbers all the time):
145 Poles of No. 303 Fighter Squadron, Dywizjon 303
112 Canadians of No. 401 Squadron RCAF,
and 88 Czechoslovaks of No. 310 Squadron
were sent to fight in the skies above England. I'm a bit surprised at this song though, because they didn't figure out a way to shout out to the 127 New Zealanders of No. 603 Squadron that fought.
As for Panzer Battalion, before you get your knickers in a twist, Panzer is short for Panzerkampfwagen, or literally "armoured war wagon". A tank. It is not a specific model, just a generic term for a 500 Ton armoured death machine of MOTHERFUCKING DESTRUCTION! "Panzer" means "armour".
