Brothers in arms was a self titled album made in 1985, by the dire straits.

Yeah, but this article is about the main song from it, and not the album (which has another page)...

[edit] Gordan Lederer

"During the Croatian war of Independence, one of the most famous video footages of the war was Banijska ratna praskozorja (Banija war dawns) featuring the "Brothers in Arms" melody in the background. The footage was made by a famous TV journalist, Gordan Lederer, showing dawn patrol of Croatian soldiers in the morning mist. At the end of the footage, which is very melancholic and much of it is in slow motion, Gordan Lederer was shot by a Serb sniper."

Is it famous? I've never heard of the clip. And how could Gordan Lenderer make the clip with the Brothers in Arms soundtrack if he was shot filming the footage? Kransky 13:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't heard of the clip either. Well, it can't be that famous, can it? Maybe in Croatia, but not worldwide. By the way, filming Croatian soldiers is like filming US-troops in Iraq or soldiers anywhere else in the world and putting a sad song over it. No matter if they are fighting for conquest, defence or independence. You never know if this is meant to be a tribute to those guys (and the reason they are fighting for) or an honest statement for peace.--80.133.229.86 16:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually it is very famous.It was shown on BBC and CNN and various other stations. The person who wrote it,unfortunatly made a mistake.The film indeed is filmed by Gordan Lederer,who was shot later vith a sniper. He is not shot on the end of the movie.
