This is the TRUE story of Roger Waters father. His father was in the invasion of anzio. His father died."And that's how the High Command Took my daddy from me." Then, his father was just common infantry "And the Anzio bridgehead Was held for the price Of a few hundred ordinary lives."

"His Majesty signed With his own rubber stamp." The British governemnt doesn't care about everyone that dies, they are just a number, not worth their time.

It's an amazing TRUE song. The last line always sends chills down my spine.

@OrionDartanyu The biggest shame of The Wall album is that "When the tigers broke free " is not on the album just included in the film when it basically sets the narrative of the album and the album and why Roger wrote it, aswell as alienation..!! From what I've heard it was because the record label and production reasons had to cut short some of the songs as it would have made the album to long..?? WTF it's a double album and an extra minute or so I'm pretty sure wouldn't have made that much difference ???? I'm sure less...
