The End of the Third Reich Draws Near

Published:

Description

Into the motherland
The German army march

In the Soviet Union, summer 1943
Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
Ready for the onslaught
Ready for the fight
Waiting for the Axis to march into a trap
Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
Imminent invasion, imminent attack

Once the battle started
There's no turning back

The end of the Third Reich draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!

[Chorus:]
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!

Fields of Prokhorovka
Where the heat of battle burned
Suffered heavy losses
And the tide of war was turned
Driving back the Germans
Fighting on four fronts
Hunt them out of Russia
Out of Soviet land
Reinforce the front line
Force the Axis to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke the citadel
Ruins of an army
Axis rest in hell

The end of the Third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack

[Chorus:]
Into the motherland the German army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Nazi charge
Panzers on Russian soil a thunder in the east
One million men at war
Soviet wrath unleashed!

Onward comrades! Onwards for the Soviet Union! Charge!

Oh, Mother Russia!
Union of lands
Will of the people
Strong in command
Oh, Mother Russia!
Union of lands
Once more victorious the Red Army stands!

The end of the Third Reich draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time to attack!

~Sabaton, "Panzerkampf," The Art of War

I had a brief conversation earlier with Arminius1871 about screenshots, and it got me to thinking that I should post up the one and only screenshot that I've taken so far.  I usually don't do screenshots, as it interrupts the flow of my game, but this time, I just had to.

It's one of those game scenes that just reaches out and grabs you, know what I mean?  I saw it, and the first thing that went through my mind was, "Holy shit."

It's just one of those things for me.  I'm weird.  Tell me something I DON'T already know.

Where is it from?  Well, I've been playing this nifty little game called A Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie.  It's a decent game so far, as detective-type point-and-click games go...quite honestly, I've really only played about twenty minutes of it, as my netbook hates me...but whoever did the voice acting for the main character of SS-Standartenführer Gerhard Mayer needs a lesson in German pronunciation.

When he called Goebbels GAY-BELLS, I about fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.  There were some other pronunciations that had me cracking up, but none quite as wonderful as GAY-BELLS.
