In Episode 8, I went solo, as this was an episode I wrote before inviting Samuel to join me as my partner. In it, I uncover the real story behind the "Three Braves of Montese," also known as the Drei Brasilianische Helden, immortalized in Sabaton's powerful song Smoking Snakes.
Stories about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) are often exaggerated or shaped by post-war narratives. That’s why I wanted to bring clarity to the events Sabaton
chose to represent in their tribute to Brazilian heroism.
You can also catch this episode on YouTube, Deezer, and Amazon. Make sure to follow us here for more, and if you’re a World War II enthusiast, follow me and Samuel on Instagram for daily content: @worldwarii_daily and @samuel.dekorte.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce our next guest: Cesar Campiani Maximiano, one of the most recognized researchers on the FEB and the author of several essential books on the subject. It’s an interview you won’t want to miss—stay tuned!
