When the tigers broke free: "It was just before dawn One miserable morning in black 'forty four When the forward commander Was told to sit tight When he asked that his men be withdrawn And the Generals gave thanks As the other ranks held back The enemy tanks for a while And the Anzio bridgehead Was held for the price Of a few hundred ordinary lives And kind old King George Sent mother a note When he heard that father was gone It was, I recall In the form of a scroll With gold leaf adorned And I found it one day In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away And my eyes still grow damp to remember His Majesty signed With his own rubber stamp It was dark all around There was frost in the ground When the tigers broke free And no one survived From the Royal Fusiliers Company Z They were all left behind Most of them dead The rest of them dying And that's how the High Command Took my daddy from me" For Eric Fletcher Waters

Thats my sexy babe Roger Waters he list his father so young he did a great job with his music and gŕeat tribute to his dad

Narcissist. What about the other 100,000’s that died there? Americans, Germans, Italians, Aussies......they had children, too! Understand his anger to the King, but he is not unique, just famous.

I don't know about the statement "the british high command took my daddy from me" - It was more like Hitler, Mussolini and their aspirations did. But of course that quote is art and it is very personal. I just hope , for logic and reasons sake....Waters really doesn't think that way

Hitler is Bolsonaro, Bolsonaro os Hitler

❤❤❤😢

I didn't know his dad's middle name was 'Fletcher' -- a name that has something to do with attaching the feathers to arrows, back in the day before the invention of the gun. The song "The Fletcher Memorial Home" from THE FINAL CUT takes on a whole new meaning now, his dad's death being due to decisions by "incurable wasters of life and limb" -- with Roger, if he had his way, establishing a kind of insane asylum where all the world's evil war promulgators ought to be incarcerated . . . "Now the final solution can be applied..."

My maternal grand father was drafted from Canada to Uk in WW2

Wow man that is amazing that Roger was able to go there to see his dad it moved me to tears

His father helped to bring Hitler to his end...

I'm happy for Roger , glad he got a memorial for his father and fellow soldiers.

What GOD wants GOD Gets

Hey Roger Water this is GoD

Roger Water I wrote the Wall Live in Berlin 1990 by Roger Water

Well his dad would turn over his grave if he knew Waters is a tankie

Thanks for posting

With all due respect Mr . Waters, thousands of young boys and girls lost their fathers in the War.

Another great album that only Roger wrote! How Davo gets away with performing the songs is beyond me 🥺

When the Tigers Broke Free

Makes sense now.

So sad and tragic maybe this will bring some closure to Roger.

Tem Quase 2 mil Brasileiros Enterrados aí na Itália !!!! Aqui no Brasil , o Chamamos de " Pracinhas " . 50 mil Homens foram enviados á Itália , Muitos Morreram , porém Lutaram grandes Batalhas , Conquistando Território Ocupado . Como em ; Monte Castello , Batalha contra um batalhão Alemão que Durou 2 meses .... Pena que aqui , É um País sem memória .

the war, for you. is over now roger. let yourself rest now...

LEST WE FORGET.

Thanks for recording this broadcast. I was trying to explain to my kids the song’s meaning and this was perfect to share with them. Lost my grandfather and his brother during the Italy Campaign. US Army but still the same thing. It’s almost 17 years since I lost my brother in Iraq. I made it through to retirement in the Marines. My father made it through Vietnam. I’m starting to understand why he never gets patriotic about having to go to war, I’m starting to feel that way myself now. Like the song “the band played waltzing Matilda” I understand that song now. I hope my kids don’t join the military. I need to break the cycle.

Shame on you Roger for being a Jew-hating, anti-Israel activist! Your Da & millions of other WW2 Allied Dead would smack you if they could!

if only some fathers were as good as roger was a good son .............. The world will be much better. We are talking about a son that never meet his father still he always look for him.

Forever grateful for their service and sacrifice on both sides. Fcuk the warmongers

oh god, thank you for posting this

Wow that is incredible. Amazing the amount of emotions Roger revealed through the wall album

Now seventy five years gone, RIP.

Jesus, the little bitch is still whining over this?

Warriors weigh only one thing. victory, that anything other than victory is unacceptable. freedom we fight for and the love for his brethren.

Well done Harry once again you have gone beyond what is expected of an ordinary man.You are no ordinary man. From an ex serving soldier.

FU MOD! For all the Soldiers you threw under the bus to while you Sod off and Polished your Oakleaf Cluster Fuck!

And the day after the broadcast, on 19th February 2014, Harry was made an MBE www.gov.uk/government/news/harry-shindler-receives-mbe-from-british-ambassador-to-italy

He made a song called "when the tigers broke free" with the lyrics at the end saying "and that's how the high command took my daddy...from me"

Sorry for the loss of your father, hopefully this is at least some closure to you and your family.

"Ashes and diamonds Foe and friend We were all equal In the end..." A quote from the track "Two Suns In The Sunset" from the Final Cut album. Always moved me, that song...

that sound of drop...just a drop filled us with emotion. thank you for posting
