Camouflage - and a History of Military Deception Aflevering 4

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.
