In 1523, Swedish King Gustav I. Vasa gathered 16 of his bravest and most loyal soldiers around him and appointed them to be his royal bodyguards. From this day on, the Swedish Royal Guards were tasked to guard the King and the royal family in their palace in Stockholm with their lives. Throughout the centuries the Royal Guard took on many names, outfits, and weapons, yet their mission remained the same. They joined the King on his military campaigns, protected him from assassins, and policed the royal estate.
While it is legendary, there is a lot of confusion and a lot of myths about Operation Typhoon, the German drive on Moscow in the fall of 1941, and Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union that summer.

Join us on a short bio-episode where we highlight the grand steps of Judas Priest's career.

Impregnable to small-arms fire, they crushed barbed-wire and field fortifications underneath their tracks, paving the way for the infantry's advance. In independent formations they surged forward at the head of the offensive, outmaneuvering the enemy's defenses and wreaking havoc in their lines. From the Mark V to the T-34, from the Tiger to the Centurion, - the evolution of armor is the history of Steel Commanders.
ou've all heard about it, but here are the nuts and bolts for why and how it happened- the Christmas Truce on the Western Front in December 1914, the first Christmas of the Great War.
