The story of the 3 heroes, Italy 1945. In the year 1945, in the middle of the Italian campaign, a battle of Brazilian soldiers faced more than 100 German soldiers, in the midst of the combat 3 soldiers distanced themselves from the main group and found themselves in an advantageous position to send fire on the German troops, as well these 3 soldiers started a barrage of fire which the German troops believed was another battle of Brazilian soldiers, thus causing the fire to be divided and in this way that the main group of Brazilian soldiers could better protect themselves and retreat before the enemy superior troop, these 3 soldiers continued the fire until the end of their ammunition, at which moment they knew that they had to keep the fire on themselves so that the main troop could retreat, closed their bayonets and burst against the Germans, being killed immediately, the German group advanced cautiously because they believed it was a larger troop, and they were incredulous when they saw that they were dealing with only one thing. 3 solitary soldiers, before such an act the German commander carried out the burial of the 3 Brazilian soldiers (something totally unusual in that theater of operations), and finally placing 3 crosses with the words in German, “Drei Brasilianischen Helden” or “Three Brazilian heroes ”, this story inspired the band Sabaton to compose the song "Smoken Snakes" in honor of these soldiers. There are some disagreements in this story pointed out by scholars, but almost always these are indicated as the 3 soldiers Geraldo Baêta da Cruz, then 28 years old, born in Entre Rios de Minas, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Arlindo Lúcio da Silva, 25, born in São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza, 26, born in Rio Preto, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. These 3 soldiers were awarded the following medals, campaign medal, Blood of Brazil and second class combat medal. In the decree that granted them these last decorations, it reads, "For an action of exceptional deed in the campaign of Italy". P.S. Why were Brazilian soldiers in WW2 known as smoking snakes? The story is told how when Hitler learned that Brazil had declared war on Germany, he would have said "it is easier for a snake to smoke than for Brazil to participate in the war".

Geraldo Baeta da Cruz, Arlindo Lúcio da Silva and Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza. Theoretically, they're the 3 ones in this song. They faced a whole German division. The nazis thought they were facing an American division. When they realized that they were only three Brazilian soldiers, they bared them by the road, and wrote on a crucifix: "Three Brazilian heroes".

You may also like "Lordi" if you like this band. I suggest "Hard Rock Hallelujah, Night Of The Loving Dead and Mr. Killjoy."
