There are many inventors whose creations have been turned into weapons of war. A couple that really stand out are Alfred Nobel and Wernher von Braun. Today we'll take a deep dive into their stories and the paradox of using destructive weapons for good, or creative weapons for destruction.

Sabaton has written several songs about tanks - the boys are tank CRAZY! Songs like “Ghost Division” or “Panzerkampf” are about the German panzers and even the Soviet ones, but what about those of the Western Allies? Were they any good? And if so, how did they lose the Battle of France?

Today's episode is about a song that is not a Sabaton original, but a cover they did of Stan Ridgway's "Camouflage" from 1986. The story itself is easy enough to understand if you follow the lyrics, but it inspired us to do an episode not about the song, but about camouflage itself; its history, how it works, how it's supposed to work, and even its limitations.
