Following the battle of Kursk
The Wehrmacht was determined
To push through the line of the Red Army
With heavy artillery and air support
They were met by the forces of the Soviet Union
On the defensive in the southern Ukraine
A line to be held, and never to be broken
An army so big, with so many lives to sacrifice

Boots causing the ground to rumble
From the marching soldiers
Many facing death, facing death for the motherland
From the the Sea of Azov
A major offensive was launched
A campaign that would stain the ground red
Where the Red Army's numerical strength... would prevail

The crushing forces of the axis powers
Stopped in their wave of destruction
8 million men, fallen brothers
In the age of the thundering war

Under the boot of the German forces
Europe was shaken to its core
Like the vibrations from the tank
A continent trembles with fear
In the last years of totalitarian horrors
Trading one bad for another
A sacrifice for peace, in a time of war
The sons, the fathers and brothers
All lost, all dead under the smoke filled sky
No one ever wins, everything lost
One last bullet, one last kill, the end before the retreat

The crushing forces of the axis powers
Stopped in their wave of destruction
8 million men, fallen brothers
In the age of the thundering war

The crushing forces of the axis powers
Stopped in their wave of destruction
8 million men, fallen brothers
In the age of the thundering war
