This song is about German's invading Poland and attacking with the Blitzkrieg and it's also talking about how the Jew's were killed "Take no prisoners, cremate them"

This album completely destroys all other megadeth albums. Every song is amazing and thats more then i can say about any other megadeth song. Mustane is an amazing axeman, its just too bad hes only put out 2 good cds (the system has failed and ofcourse the godly Rust in Peace). Metallica is better.

Marty Friedman left the band a long time after that and that was because, aparently as he says on VH1 behind the music, "Im not a big fan of thrash metal, i love rock and pop""if you wanna be in megadeth your music has to be gun-shot grey, i like to paint my music with Blue's and Red's and Yellows" wat a fag. But yeah him singing back up vocals to this was pretty bad for him cause he is a jew and it has references to nazi tanks and shit. freakin great song though.

man, as good as he his its just a song. if he got upset everytime someone mention WWII or the Holocaust hed be too busy crying to be in a band. but aside from my views on him, this song kicks so much ass. obviously about WWII. hard as hell to play on the guitar.
