History
A bagpiper marched into the Normandy landings
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
In the chaos of war, the most terrifying sound isn't artillery; it's a guy in a kilt aggressively squeezing a sack of air. During WWII, notable soldiers like Bill Millin heavily insisted on marching onto the beaches of Normandy while loudly playing the bagpipes. German snipers later revealed they deliberately didn't shoot the pipers because they completely assumed the men had gone totally insane from battle stress.
One discovery leads to another.
