This song makes me think about a German soldier stepping past the Soviet border, through that invisible line that would change the world as we know it. There would be a loud series of shouts and orders, and engines of tanks and vehicles revving. But when they enter Soviet land, there is silence for a long while, as they march in unison into the enemy territory. Every man is lost in his own thoughts, fear, determination, resignation, or maybe just the numbness of trying to push away what’s coming. Until finally, the gunfire breaks out, and all hell lets loose.
