40:1 - The Battle of Wizna - Sabaton History 001
Sabaton wrote a song about the Battle of Wizna, called 40:1. When the Germans invaded Poland in 1939, they met determined and fierce resistance. Multiple battles show the steadiness of the Polish defenders, in contrast to the common narrative about the Polish defence. One of these Battles is the Battle of Wizna, where a Polish defensive force managed to hold off a much larger German army for several days.

It's unfortunate that Sabaton isn't as famed in the United States (which my home country, for those who aren't aware). I wonder what could be done to spread the word about them and their music, which I think is unique enough to distinguish itself from that of mainstream American tastes.
But honestly, I don't know; we'll probably have to see if things change where I live. Until then, g'night.
