Pink Floyd: 'When The Tigers Broke Free' - Written about the death of singer Roger Waters' Father in World War Two's Operation Shingle the 1982 song is taken from the movie version of The Wall. As Waters tells it, the forward commander had asked to withdraw his forces from a German Tiger I tank assault, but the generals refused, and "the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price / Of a few hundred ordinary lives" as the Tigers eventually broke through the British defence, killing all of C Company, including Eric Waters.
