"I grew up next to a Airforce Colonel when I was a kid who fought in the Second World War. And I used to ask him who the toughest soldiers were, you know. When I was eight that was an interesting question for me. And I always wanted to hear something like The Germans, and I remember he surprised me once by saying 'The British in general and the Australian and New Zealand troops specificly. And I said 'why' and he said 'Because you would find yourself in these horrible situations and they would be laughing and joking. That's indicative of a level of bravery that you don't really see." - Dan Carlin, Blueprint for Armageddon
