The line "As millions die around them, did they see it all?" I believe is referring to the German casualties in the war.

Yup. Approximately 90k on the western front before 1941... Millions on the eastern afterwards. Also the fact that they're spreading absolute chaos, destruction and death, in a war that was supposed to be over quickly.

Not all germans were evil. It was the high command and specially commanders in charge of the occupied zones that more or less were sadistic. The officers executed soldiers that refused to execute orders or if they were lucky were sent to the worst front. Often in special straff kommando (prison batallions). Sovjetunion had the same thing. You cannot fault the common soldier. If i were a german soldier at that time and saw all that horror Sovjetunion unleashed on not only sovjet people itself like in Ukraine but also the suffering former free states like in Baltikum then i would become ruthless too if it meant id have a better chance to protect my homeland and my family. You cannot put a blame on one people or nation. USA had warcamps were german soldiers died of sickness and starvation because USA didnt put enough resources to that. On western front a large portion of german soldiers died more in POW camps than on the frontline. USA also firebombed german civilian high population cities. You dont get to hear that everyday though because USA was one of the nations that won the war . Not saying Germany were blameless just saying war has no victors when millions die on every side.

The Wehrmacht was highly indoctrinated into Nazi ideology which makes sense considering most 18 year old soldiers by 1942 would have spent their formulative years under Nazi teachings. The army assisted the Einsatzgruppen and the SS reported relations with the Heer to be cordial.

@Half life 3 what you don’t understand is that even though they were indeed under nazi indoctrination doesn’t mean that they are nazis. To say that all German soldiers of the Wehrmacht is evil and ruthless is ignorant but it is also ignorant to say that none of them weren’t. Many Germans in the 30s were in a deep economic depression especially after the Great Depression that wrought painand suffering soon the Germans and even with Germans being killed in the Ruhr a area in Germany that was under French rule because Germany couldn’t pay them for ww1. Back then the Germans had two options the communists or the nazis the communist already had a bad reputation of ruthlessness and bad economy and the nazis looked a awful lot like a breath of fresh air for the Germans and a lot of the Germans didn’t like the racism but because the nazis were their best option they voted for them and some didn’t even like the nazis. If the allies didnt put all the blame and hate on Germany for ww1 maybe ww2 and many many life’s would of been saved but no France, Great Britain, and America decided to tear into Germany for a war they weren’t responsible for and even tho the Americans and British were willing to help the Germans economy and help rebuild Germany they ended up shoving all of that into a furnace when the Great Depression hit. So yea the Wehrmacht wasn’t entirely nazis but weren’t entirely clean heart full soldiers either but neither was the US or any allied country just look at Dresden a German city that America and England firebombed to the ground and caused lots of unneeded suffering. Also I don’t mean any insult or anger towards you i am simply correcting a possible misunderstanding or misinformation.

Wehrmacht is pronounced like "where mark" but the "w" has a "v" sound and there's a hint of a "t" at the end. I also particularly like the lines "Were they the victims of their time or proud parts of larger goals?" and "Crazy madmen on a leash or young men who lost their way?" Sabaton did a good video with Indy Neidell about the song explaining that kind of stuff.

For example: "Eeek!", the sound u make if something is disgustig, is in germany spelled "Iiiihh!", or with the word "Igitt!" german i sound = english e sound.

You say "killing civilians" as if the allies had not committed any war crimes ... of course it is terrible what Germany has done, and as a German I am ashamed of it. But the allies did just as shit for me, such statements always come across as if Germany is always the absolute bad and the allies are always the absolutely good who bring coffee and cake. I'm sorry but that had to come out.

Wow it's funny, I was unaware that the Allies were fighting for the stated goal of exterminating millions of people for racial reasons, but surely the Allies are "as bad as the Nazis", this stupid moral relativism sucks, accept it, the Wehrmacht and the Nazi Germany were fighting a fucking war of annihilation, you can't be as bad as everyone else while doing that.

Atleast the allies dont do it in such massive scale, not to mentioned the Nazis tortured most of them first. The holocaust is a crime against humanity and cant be compared with normal war crimes that every side did, cant compare a house robbery with an armed bank heist after all, both are different. This is not a hate comment against current Germany or the German people but im just merely stating that when comparing the Axis(including Japan) war crimes and the Allies war crimes(Including the Soviet Union) by scale and atrocities, it has a clear result. Tho, I wouldnt say that Axis is absolute bad and Allies is absolute good either. Both sides still have humans with minds and hearts
