Description
Song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV0tr2…This song tells about the Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident. This event accured 20th of December 1943. When, after a successful bomb run on Bremen, Charles Brown's B-17-plane was severely damaged by German fighters. Luftwaffe-pilot and ace Franz Stigler had an opportunity to shoot down the crippled bomber, but instead, for humanitarian reasons, decided to allow the crew to fly back to their airfield in England. The two pilots met each other 40 years later after an extensive search by Charlie Brown and the friendship that the two developed lasted until their deaths. A tale of two Heroes...
Song rightfully owned by Sabaton.

From down below an enemy spotted.
So hurry up, rearm and refuel.
But through the bomber's damaged airframe…
See wounded men scared to the bone.
Look to the right and then look again.
And see the enemy in the eye.
No bullets fly, spared by his mercy.
Escorted out…Out of harm’s way
Fly, fighting fair!
It's the code of the air!
Brothers, Heroes, Foes!
Killing machine!
Honour in the sky!
B-17…
flying home!
Killing machine!
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved!
He risked his life 2 times that day…
To save an unknown enemy.
Escort to safety, out of the kill zone.
A short salute then departed.
Fly, fighting fair!
It's the code of the air!
Brothers, Heroes, Foes!
Killing machine!
Honour in the sky!
B-17…
flying home!
Killing machine!
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved!
Fly, fighting fair!
It's the code of the air!
Brothers, Heroes, Foes!
Killing machine!
Honour in the sky!
B-17…
flying home!
Killing machine!
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved!

Eh, Sabaton's made sadder songs, such as Ballad of Bull and The Price of a Mile.
It's an amazing and touching story though.

I'm listening to that song. And it has so badass spirit that causes me to imagine myself as Doomguy fighting against Nazis with Chaingun and Heavy Assault Rifle.

That sure sounds like a trip if I ever had it.

Nah, I was referring rather to the mere experience of it, such as that of a drug trip.

Oh, I got it now. It's like "hallucination after taking drugs"

When people hear about something like this happening during WWII. They tend to think that isn't true. But when I first heard about it I wanted to know more about the event that took placed on 12/20/1943. And my search I then come across Leslie "Bull" Allen, an Australian who in 7/30/1943 at the battle of Mt. Tambu saved 12 wounded American G.I's when he went into enemy gunfire to save them.
Also this song might fit this

That one is for the Battle of Britain so it wouldn't fit that good, unfortunantly. But thanks anyways.
