It is in reference to runestones. Large rocks placed either to honor someone of great importance, or a significant event. They would have Futhark runes carved into them, if for a notable individual like a Jarl or King. These would be markers, not unlike headstones. |

The song is about the incident between Franz Stigler and Charles Brown. Charles, the pilot of a B-17 Flying Fortress received heavy damage and several of his crew was wounded. As the B-17 was limping back, attempting to reach the safety of England, Franz, after his Me 109 was restocked and refueled had initially been ordered to bring the B-17 down. When we reached within striking distance, Franz noticed the casualties involved and the extensive damage to the bomber. Remembering something he was told as a recruit, he felt it would be dishonorable to shoot the bomber down, as it reminded him akin to a man with his parachute deployed. |
