The song is about Nazis, especially the claims at the Nurnburg Trials after Germany surrendered that the soldiers were "just following orders" which was ultimately rejected as an excuse for abuses inflicted on Jews, homosexuals, etc. The instrumental song that precedes it on the album features words from the Twilight Zone Episode "Deaths-Head Revisted" which dealt with the same subject matter.
