4 жыл бұрынIt happened during the last stage of the Soviet-Afghan War.
Already withdrawing its forces, Soviet High Command needed to display its might one last time by recapturing the vital Satukandav Pass. But to achieve that goal, the commanding heights surrounding the pass had to be held against continuous Mujahideen attacks.
In the Battle for Hill 3234, an outnumbered force of Soviet paratroopers held their own against relentless attacks from the Afghan rebels.

They were only 39 They were told to hold the line... I'm sure most of you know the rest of those lyrics. And after watching this episode of Sabaton History, you also know the real historical events behind those words. What some of you might not know though, is the story of the guitar solo in Hill 3234. As usual when Joakim had written the song, he sent it out to the rest of the band. Much to his surprise though, this time Thobbe Englund - lead guitarist at the time - sent a file back within the hour. Thobbe had just plugged his guitar in and hit play. He was literally listening to Hill 3234 for the first time when the solo spontaneously popped into his head, and he recorded it on the spot. And to make this solo even more special: it is that very first recording Thobbe made that ended up on the album! Not one single re-take. Talk about a blessing from the Muses...

I want to break this rumor as well. The CIA did not fund anything that moved who was willing to fight against Afganistan. Remember the US wants to make Allies who would be useful in WWIII so they fund tribes and leaders who are friendly to the west both in idea and will. Bin Laden was not one of them. HIs supplies originated from Pakistan. People forget the top three suppliers of the Mujahadeen were the US, Pakistan, and China. And they all funded tribes based on their own ideas.

I remember reading at the time soviet prisoners, mostly conscripts, would be skinned alive by the women if they were captured. The Afghans considered it highly entertaining to skin one man at a time in front of his comrades so they knew what was going to happen to them. Every so often the Afghans would send a survivor back so his comrades knew what happened.

It baffles me that so few soldiers can do amazing feats that shouldn’t be able to happen. But in my American Literature class I wrote about sacrifices a soldier makes and I talked about how when a group of soldiers have a united motivation that they can become unstoppable. This is a major example of that. Even though I’m American I still have major respect for military forces. Thank you Sabaton history for continuing uploading. I really do appreciate your effort. Can’t wait for the next one.
