Sept 3rd 2021 #IronMaiden#TheWritingOnTheWall#DarkestHour#HeavyMetal Did you know.. It is the band's first studio album in nearly six years, following The Book of Souls, marking the longest gap between two studio Iron Maiden albums.
Thanks for the ๐งต link!!! The Churchill, FDR phone call was one of the moments in #DarkestHour that I didnโt like. In reality, FDR was doing everything he could to move the US towards more open support of the allies, and the 1939 โNeutrality Actโ was a huge shift for the US and led to Lend-Lease.
Thread on the glorious malicious compliance with the Neutrality Act that helped the Nazis by forbidding export of war materiel to anybody (but affecting only the allies). Mentioned implicitly in #DarkestHour#HATM
It took me until the credits to realize that when he mentioned taking a ride with "Clemmie" early in the film, he was not referring to Clement Attlee. #DarkestHour#HATM
