This song is written about Reinhard Heydrich, who was second in command of the SS, next to Himmler.
Slayer writes about his assassination in 1942 with these lines :
Burning sense of mission
Assassination
Symbol of oppression
"Crusade led from exile
Obliteration
Sabotaged campaign
Check resistance from afar
Planning the death of one
When the plot is executed
There will be nowhere to run
Ramifications will be high
A price paid in torment
The end justifies the means
To hell you will be sent
The wolf leader now is the stalked
Expansion state of horror
Guns echo over the grave
A thousand fates are sealed
Murderous power brought to an end
Only to rise again
Cold and rustless and iron will
Protectorate of the dead"
Later Slayer sings of the vengance Hitler took after the killing, in which he completely obliterated an entire Czech village, Lidice, and all of it's residents.
It was Reinhard Heydrich who came up with the plan for "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question."
