I wouldn't say about a single soldier, more about the young men who fought in the Wehrmacht together. It's about how the young men of Germany were, you could say brainwashed, into doing the bidding of the Nazi's and Hitler. They were told they would be building an empire that would last a thousand years, they were stronger than anyone, they could never be defeated in battle, Germans would rise above everything and everyone because it was their duty as the master race.

This song is about a soldier in the Wehrmacht starting with hitlers visions and soldiers being pulled into the Wehrmacht.

"As casualties rise and millions die around them Did they see it all?
"What about the men executing orders?"
