  • Friendly Fandoms: Fans have followed Indy from The Great War and there is also crossover with the Sabaton community since TimeGhost started collaborating with the band on the Sabaton History channel explaining the backstories to the songs.

  • Tear Jerker: The story of 107 French soldiers at Ouvrage La Ferté in May 1940, covered during the French road trip by Richard Tucker, is unbelievably sad. The garrison, trapped underground by a fire in Block 1, suffocated from carbon monoxide poisoning - none of them survived. In the years after the battle, it was rumoured that the French commander, Lieutenant Bourguignon, had handed over the position to the Germans - only in 1973 did his son find out (from a German veteran) where the bodies of the garrison were buried - Bourguignon was identified and finally recognised as a hero who'd died with his men. When explaining this, Richard Tucker's voice audibly cracks.
