Despite his small stature and his peers’ scepticism, by the end of WW1 Albert had more than proved himself, having captured over 1,180 prisoners while fighting for the French Army. ================================== Recorded, mixed and mastered at Black Lounge studios by Jonas Kjellgren. ================================== Sabaton is a registered and protected trademark.
