Wasted155 said:I seem to recall that the way the German nation was treated after the end of WWI was the catalyst for WWII-- or something to that affect.
"Treaty of Versailles" is the keyword. However, that was mostly propaganda. By the time the nazis had taken power in Germany, the treaty had been watered down. The nazis were only successful because of the economical crisis, and most of their propagandistic ideals predated the treaty itself. If you like, I can post my views more detailed in the WWII thread.
For now, I'll leave you with the knowledge that the Grave Digger/Alestorm gig was a blast. They didn't play "Curse of Jacques", but in the end that didn't matter anymore. Alestorm played all the hits and a brand new song, and the first support band, Taleteller, was also very good, a simple, plain, down-to-earth old-school heavy metal band that didn't try to be anything else.
I'll post a detailed review tomorrow.
