And in the comment section it says:


Samuel Lord:
The Boar is the Symbol of the Belgian Regiment de Chasseurs Ardennais. (Litter. Battalion of hunters from the Ardennes).

The song is about 40 Chasseurs Ardennais being tasked to harass the Germans at the border during the battle of France and slow their advance. Intel soon discovered Rommel and Guderian were stationed at that section of the border and ordered a retreat, but due:ohmy: to a mistake in communications, that unit of 40 men didn't get the retreat order. They proceeded to harass the German divisions for the next 18 days. When finally captured, they were asked by the German officer where is the rest of their unit(thinking a much larger detachment was harassing them), they laughed and said they were all there was.
Me paraphrasing an interview where Joakim explained the songs.
The symbol of the chasseurs is a wild boar and their motto is "resist and bite", to further clarify the lyrics.



So i was thinking does anyone know if there has been made a movie about this?
