I like it. We should make it a project.
So when are you making the expanded list?
Quite simply, a playlist consisting of songs about the Second World War in Europe, in chronological order of events. This is work in progress, everybody is invited to participate.
Right now, this consists of the list of Sabaton songs I made last night and a few others that I included from the top of my head. Hail of Bullets (...Of Frost and War, Warsaw Rising, The Rommel Chronicles) and Vreid (Milorg) have entire albums about parts of the war, and I'll break them down later. Suggestions and additions are very welcome, and if you want to make my life easier, include information about the when and where of the song's content.
If somebody wants to make a Youtube playlist of this, they get a free smiley.
Oh, and to answer the inevitable question: Bands qualify as metal for the purpose of this playlist if they can be found here or here.
Another note: I've listened to all of this but the 2014 Eastern Front album. So I just went by the lyrics as far as I could find them.
