    ========= Ghost Division LYRICS =========
    Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun
    Shaking the ground with the force of thousand guns
    First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
    Tanks leading the way, leading the way
    Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm
    Fast as the lighting phantoms swarm
    200 miles at nightfall, taken within a day
    Thus earning the name, earning the fame
    [Chorus:]
    They are the panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
    Living or dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
    Always ahead, as the blitzkrieg rages on
    Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns
    First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
    Tanks leading the way, leading the way
    Leaving a trail of destruction through a foreign land
    (Waging war with conviction)
    Massive assault live to serve the Nazi plan
    (Wehrmacht’s pride, ghost division)
    Communications broken, phantoms too far away
    Thus earning the name, earning the fame
    [Chorus]
    Pushing the frontline forth with a tremendous force
    (Far ahead, breaks resistance)
    Breaching the way for panzer corps
    (Shows no fear, self-subsistent)
    First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
    Tanks leading the way, claiming the fame
    [Chorus]
    Panzer elite, born to compete, never retreat (ghost division)
    Living our dead, always ahead, fed by your dread
    ========= Historic Fact ==========
    The 7th Panzer Division invaded Belgium and France in 1940 under the command of Generalmajor Erwin Rommel. The Division was nicknamed 'La Division Fantôme' by the French, which translates into ‘Ghost Division’, for its speed, agility and surprise tactics.

    there are two ways to learn history:

    -> learn it
    -> wasted time
    2. Sabaton
    -> find high quality music instantly after finding sabaton
    -> get interested in what the music is about by listening to the music
    -> learning more
    -> learning the details still beeing interested in whatever the music was about
    -> fun, knowledge and good music that probably never gets boring

    Your lyrics are heavily inspiring. If not for the hard, heavy and historical sound of Sabaton, I doubt I would have had the strength or will to complete physical therapy. Im off crutches and walking normally again.

One was part of the 1.8 million captured and taken to a Stalag, the other had to live out the Occupation in hiding because he was Jewish. I don't care if you make fun of French generals for being absolute idiots - they were, and those are funny because they're accurate - but disrespecting people who died in such a recent and major war only to make a poor joke is just pathetic.

    Honestly this piece of music probably has influenced me the most of all songs. When I first heard of this I really got into history and the stories of people of the past. First it was of course the WW2 era, but then the areas I was interested just grew, and now I am fascinated about the whole history of the world and how the decisions of some people affected the creation of our current world. It has grown so much that I am honestly thinking about going to go university with the goal of studying history and graduating on that topic.
    So thanks for making these songs. Literally changed the course of my life. 10/10 would recommend.

      I think the first song I heard was attack of the dead men, but I actually thought that was a song from a show or something like that. Then I heard Bismarck and thought "wait wasn't that a actual ship" so I looked further into it and I was actually disappointed at first and I didn't like it at all. But sabaton has songs that grow on you.
      The first song I actively listened to was the red baron, then shiroyama, then No bullets fly, and it just rapidly expanded from there.

    The fact the Rommel went into France with mostly outdated tanks, ie: Pz Is, Pz IIs, and Pz 38(t)s, and absolutely wiped the floor with the French is mind-blowing. Rommel was a genius and a madman.

    I'm new to Sabaton, so people can correct me if this has already been done:
    I think Sabaton should make a song about 1.) Kamikaze pilots. If done right, that song could blend in some Japanese instruments to sound really cool.
    2.) Rhodesian special forces.
