Nazi Germany is the common English name for Germany between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) controlled the country through a dictatorship. Under Hitler’s rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich (German Reich) until 1943 and Großdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich) from 1943 to 1945. Nazi Germany is also known as the Third Reich (Drittes Reich), meaning „Third Realm” or „Third Empire”, the first two being the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and the German Empire (1871–1918). The Nazi regime ended after the Allies defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War II in Europe.

A nation in despair, weakened by war, defeated
Lost their pride in Versailles
A former prisoner, with a vision or a grand delusion
Rise to power in the reich
Rebuilding an army
Make the nation proud
Disregarding the treaty
Secret plans for “lebensraum”
Start the holocaust… The reich will rise…
Propaganda, the reich will rise…
To last a thousand years…
Burning books to spread, anti-semite propaganda
Who will stop the madman’s reign?
Night of broken glass, send the Jews to Dachau death camp
On a path to certain death
The “anschluss” completed
On the brink of war
Act brutal with no pity
Be harsh, show no remorse
Start the warmachine… The reich will rise…
Propaganda, the reich will rise…
To last a thousand years…
I see the evil rising… The rise of evil…
In the last days of peace, Europe holding it’s breath
An invasion is coming, but when will it start?
Who will be first to fall? Who will be last to stand?
Who will stop all this madness that has consequences? No man understand?
No man! No land!
Start the holocaust… The reich will rise…
Propaganda, the reich will rise…
To last a thousand years…
I see the evil rising… The rise of evil…
