I have always interpret "unbreakable war machine" as the will and dedication ppl have when they decide to fight back an invading force. Like the dedication shown by Polish uprising or French resistance.

The beatchange I interpret as the slow beginning being the setup of the ambush, coz you can't rush a trap... And the switch towards the end is when the battle begins, which will be quick and leaving no time for thought. As for Halloween, it isn't a tradition we really have in Sweden, though it has certainly arrived here on its own though media and movies. A few kids might dress up and go trick or treating - we even had someone who took the "trick" part to heart but didnt care for "treats" coz they walked by and egged the house. Ah well, it's raining, I don't care. We do have a different tradition now on Saturday called "all hallows eve" ( or "all saints/souls day" in sweden, which then would traditionally be the christian tradition) where we go to the graveyards to light candles and such, to remember the dead. TV and radio sometimes make programs about the lost famous people over the year that has passed and such. Sometimes they go even further back too. But its not a "celebration" as such. It is just a peaceful - sometimes sad - day that we have. (I'm not sure what happened to my internet, it just died and I dont know if I am double posting a comment coz of it lol)

I live in the city of Bielefeld in Germany and I live on the slopes of the what was called in modern times Teutoburger Wald (in English Teutoburg Forest) This was the location of a battle in 9 AD where the Romans lost two legions in an ambush and never invaded Germany beyond the Rhine and Danube (what is now the the South-West of modern Germany where they grow vines and make wine) The actual location they found was further north than this location but it is a very important battle in the history of Rome. This is a scene from "I, Claudius" the story of the first emperors of Rome and Augustus is concerned about his eagles (legions) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJOfm66msN-Yj6c.html
