maybe its something that has to do with the cruscifiction of jesus, but i think the swastika theory is a good one.

I read (and hear) the lyrics, and my head says conscripts on the Nazi side in WW2. Aside from the obvious "crooked cross", you have "trapped by a cause that I once understood", maybe relating to the fact Hitler was voted into power.

I agree it is about hitler's true intentions. Jeff Hanneman is interested in WWII. Another song mentioning Nazis is "Angel of Death".
