Well this is the first of many historical songs written by Slayer with a Nazi theme. It's basically a brief synopsis of Hitler's reign and the Whermacht in general. I see it as a documentary type of tune. Later songs would go into much further detail but The Final Command (originally titled Blitzkrieg) was the one that gave Slayer it's original reputation as the hardest, fastest, most evil band around. They were also tagged with a Nazi label right away. A label that is absurd.
