Zombie Soldier Song

Now I was first introduced to this song by my tutee. Yes, I am a part time tutor too, gonna make a living of something.

So this is what I call the zombie soldier song. Initially, it is more of the tune that attracted me. After reading up about it, then I realise how insane the song is about.

Before anything, here is the song

Now for a more accurate description, here is an awesome infographic video!

So basically in the 19th Century, the German was attacking the Russian Empire and attempting to take a key position, which is the Osoweic Fortress. The Russian was impregnable, and the Germans tried all ways, including chemical warfare. Now just a pause, isn't it impressive that in the 19th century, chemical warfare??? I didn't expect them to be so advance!

And chemical gas was used, gassing the Russians who were holding out within the fortress. Being gassed, the Russian soldiers knew they would die eventually. As such, they went on with their last ditch attack. I mean, since they are already dying right, so why not?

And that is exactly what they did. They charged out, and attacked furiously. Along with the chemical scars they were inflicted with, the Germans were shocked and thought that it is zombies that were attacking them, thus the song.

A bit of history lessons for this eh?

As cool as it seem, come on... World Peace man. Can't countries or parties settle it off amicably? Like if there is a head of state for the world, maybe I would convert wars to like cooking competitions. Haha. Countries will have to cook off. Losers have to pay for the ingredients that the winners used! Yea, isn't that more fun? End of the day everyone goes home with a full belly! HAHA.

Question of the day
