Openly ignoring the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, in 1935, Hitler formed the new German Wehrmacht, which was made up of the army, the Kriegsmarine and the newly established Luftwaffe. From a force of 100,000 men in 1933, the army increased to 2.6 million in 1936.

Hi, not sure if this will reach the band or not, but I wrote a fantasy book which partly follows the difficulty of leadership and conducting war on a major scale. While many of the more intense battles and moments were written while listening to metal. The song Wolfpack actually inspired its own add-on entirely, "Battle of the Fog." Two advanced, well equiped, and well armored steam ships are targeted by a sail driven dreadnought and a litter of smaller vessels. The latter group has planning, numbers and the night on thier side. The entire story follows the steamship's bridge crew and one of her gun turret crews. At the end of the add on I wanted to give credit to the song and to Sabaton for creating it. The book it will be published, just like it's predecessor. I have read up on the origional skirmish that Wolfpack was about and I did not want to offend, so I would like to mention it now... and say thank you for the inspiration!

WHAT ABOUT THE MEN EXECUTING ORDERS?

What I find so compelling about this song is that the chorus so vividly paints the message of the entire song. As the booming voices of propaganda shout at us the image that the high command wanted us to see “Panzers on a line, form the Wehrmacht’s spine” it drowns out the singer who says “what about the men executing orders?”. It’s like the singer asks “what of the men?” And the shouting voice of propaganda is to say “don’t think of the men. Think of the machine. Think of the mighty panzer. Think of the image. Think of the vision. Think of the goal. The men are only parts of that.” And yet the singer still proclaims: “what about the men?”.

"To victory through the machine! Not for oneself, but for the fatherland!" A looser interpretation, closer to what this verse is supposed to convey. World War II is the first war with overwhelming mechanization of every aspect, every branch used some form of mechanized transport or weapon system. And especially the Germans were at the forefront of technological advancement in combat, so while this line could be generalized for all nations that participated, it could just as well be considered to be one dedicated to the Germans alone.

An epic track! I love the, “AD VICTORIAM! EX MACHINA….!!!” The lesson is, “What about the men executing orders?” Label them what you wish but they were someone’s son, husband, and father. Continue releasing a video for each and every track! Well done!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾

Finding a Sabaton song u haven’t heard or seen is like finding a gem

"Ou apenas homens cumprindo ordens?" "Conquistando a vitória, não para si, mas para a pátria!" Com certeza essa música ta na lista de top 10 de cada fã dessa banda!

This might be a place as good as any other to write this down: My great grandfather (the biological father of my grandma) fought in the Wehrmacht as many German men did. He wrote a lot of letters home and man Grandma still has a lot of them. In the fist years of the war he was a part of the coccupying force in France. He loved photography, and send a lot of pictures, so the letters read basically like a big adventurious vacation. He never was a full convinced Fascist but he war very patriotic, loved the uniforms, the comradery and showing off for the girls. In the later years of the war, he was re-deployed to the Eastern front, where he saw (and let's be honest also did) a lot of messy shit. My Grandma keeps this part of the letters always very close hidden and doesn't like to show them around. In 1944, in one of the most impressive passages he writes: "I pray, the Germany wins this war. Because if we lose, they will take revenge on us. I know, what we have done, they have every right to hate and noone will be able to protect you fro their rightious anger, if we los." He was killed soon after and never returned home. It haunts me till this day. He was a controversial man in an problematic time but in this passage, I feel so much for him. I am happy and greatful for two things: For the fact that Germany lost and is a free country today and for the fact, that my great grandfather was wrong and the world forgave us. R.I.P Great Grandpa Bruno.

The world has very clearly not forgiven Germany, nor does Germany look like a free country. Self-hatred seems to be ingrained into their citizens. A German who isn’t ashamed of themselves is assumed to be a Nazi. They’ve given their culture away to a people who will never respect them and their citizens freeze in unheated homes because they chose to rely on Russia for energy because a little autistic girl was told the world would end from fossil fuels.

Have you learned what happened to the German people after 45 ? They paid for what the army did, and paid a very high price, especially during the Soviet occupation. I'm french and yet, at school, I didn't understand why to humiliate people like that because of the government. Then, I recently read about rapes in Germany, that just broke my heart.

"Panzers on a line form the Wehrmacht's spine" always grabs me. Ja, ja, wir Deutschen und unsere Panzer... But seriously. A great song with a heavy background. I just say: "Part of a machine, unstoppable, as merciless as tidel waves." This is what it feels like to be part of a machinery of destruction. I am not defending anything here. I'm just saying that as a German today, I would never want to be part of such a system again. And it's good to remember that through Sabaton songs.

The biggest trajedy is that Admiral Canaris wasn't successful, and Roosevelt wanted German blood. I used to be a fan of Roosevelt, his character and his audacity, but when I learned that he hated Germany, demanded unconditional surrender, and refused to work with the one man who had the best chance at stopping the Nazi party from the inside, I can't look at him in the same light anymore. Roosevelt, and to a lesser extent Churchill, caused and needlessly prolonged WWII, and lead to the destruction of Germany for decades. Patton was right, we fought the wrong enemy.

I like how there are two parts, the more "mechanical" and powerful part about panzers, the grand design and "ad victoriam, ex machinam, non sibi sed, patriae (to victory, using machines, not for yourself, but for the fatherland", and the other, more "reasonable" part worried about young men tricked into believing in the plan, by the propaganda and lies. I think this perfectly illustrates how the Wehrmacht worked, thank you for this amazing song.

The wehrmacht didnt do anything, the SS committed those attrocities. The wehrmacht was just a military. Interesting how the Soviet union never gets mocked but they were more evil than any wehrmacht soldier. My friend's grandmother told the difference. In ww2 a german soldier knocked on their door and asked if he could shoot out of their window.. When the soviets came to hungary they r*ped and ravaged through their homes and killed a lot of innocent people..

My grandfather (german WW2 veteran, Kursk) always said that it was believed that an attack would forestall a great intrigue and actually wage a defensive war.

This thing begins without warning,just like Blitzkrieg!

Everything is fine in this song. Powerful guitar beats at the beginning, which personify the power of the Wehrmacht, with which he marched through Europe and the USSR. Couplets that are reflections of a simple, sober-minded person about the Wehrmacht and the propaganda of the Third Reich. The refrain, where those very reflections are drowned out by propaganda cries about the power of German tanks and only a person asks a question about ordinary soldiers, propaganda again bends its line. It's hard to believe that all this was transmitted through a 4-minute song. Sabaton - you are geniuses!

After hearing the speeches from the man with the funny lip fuzz, one would presume that fuzzy lips' oratory skills lead those to believe his butter smooth honeyed words to be true. Now how hard core was a soldier, one can't know for certain, as war really changes a man once they have served. Having relatives who have served in WW2 and there experiences of being either an early enlistee, being a British or French trained pilot or an average enlistee Screaming Eagle, war changed them from what they where in the beginning. Since there are fewer WW2 remaining veterans, we'll rarely know the truest extent of what hell they had gone through on both sides of the conflict.

I can feel the destructive ruthlessness coming from these lyrics. Chills, man. I got em. Yet another great song! Keep up the great lessons and tunes, Sabaton!

More so the other way around with the BoS being a history refernce.

It perfectly portrays the fact that the German high command didn’t care about the soldiers, they cared about how they looked as an opposing force (1:48) „What about the men executing ord- PANZERS ON A LINE, FORM THE WEHRMACHT‘S SPINE! LETHAL GRAND DESIGN!“. The question is drowned out by the propaganda that the 3rd reicht was throwing out. the soldiers and their condition was never acknowledged by high command, only how fierce they looked and acted.

German MP40 "Maschinenpistole.40" submachine gun,.40 caliber. General History The Maschinenpistole 40, commonly known as the MP40, is similar to the Thompson, but uses a smaller 9-mm round. This submachine gun evolved out of the MP38, which was prone to misfirings that had sometimes lethal results. A simple technical innovation to the hammer eliminated the problem, and the MP40 was born. Total production is unknown but it is believed that more that one million of these weapons were produced between 1940 and 1944.

I love that sabaton celebrates both sides of wars

I love the mechanical-like sounds in the intro, and sprinkled throghout the song. It really makes up the machine vibe.

I always loved the insane brutality put into the main chorus, a momentum contrasted by a much more subtle message. It's simple, but still somehow nuanced. That means you can listen to it for both the lyrics as well as the sound alone. A perfect storm, really.

This song has the best beat in all of Sabaton's songs in my opinion. I love how heavy it is and the use of latin in it and how it was used. I hope I see more songs crafted in the way that this was (of course there are lots but this has a unique feel). I don't have favorites because I could never have a solid choice but this is definitely one of the best songs in my opinion up there with Bismarck, Aces in Exile, and Dreadnoughts. Can't wait for new songs and for Oct 8th can't wait to see you perform in person!!!🤘🤘

Jordan Peterson has a very good discussion about this topic; something along the lines of "More than likely you would have been a Nazi Camp Guard." It talks about the psychology of people and crazy situations that can lead people down a dark path. A real gut punch of reality if you think everyone is just so much more virtuous than the people that did that job and others like it across the world during ww2. Including yourself. If we don't understand history and psychology of mankind we are doomed to repeat it.

Only now, having the human, industrial and material resources of the entire united Europe, Hitler and his soldiers built their Wehrmacht in such a way that it was literally inferior to the Red Army in everything (except quantity). And given the direction in which the Red Army was developing, and it openly told its potential enemies that a fiery apocalypse awaited them, the Barbarossa plan was an extremely sophisticated way of suicide.

feels so ominous at the start

No man is pure Evil and no man is pure Good, sometimes people get forced into situations were they just get labeled as such.
