Sabaton - The Price of a Mile (Lyrics English & Deutsch)

“I died in hell - They called it Passchendaele“ Siegfried Sassoon in Memorial Tablet (Great War) The Battle of Passchendaele was one of the major battles of the First World War, taking place between 31 July and 6 November 1917. In a series of operations, Entente troops under British command attacked the Imperial German Army near the town Ypres in Belgium. Although inflicting irreplaceable casualties on the Germans, the Allies had captured a mere 5 miles (8 km) of new territory at a cost of 140,000 combat deaths, a ratio of roughly 2 inches (5 cm) gained per dead soldier. CAUTION! I won’t tolerate any racist, discriminatory or in any other form inappropriate comments! This song neither glorifies war, nor National Socialism, but should be considered as a historical work. “No, we don’t glorify anything, we just tell stories about things that have happened.“ (Rikard Sundén, founding member of Sabaton) Please support Sabaton and purchase the
