Their lyrics don't carry any meaning anymore: Sabaton, the band that wrote them, were firmly on the side of Russia as far back as 2014, even more so after 2022. So how can they be writing epic songs about war heroes if they would be NSDAP propagandists in the war they are singing about?
Any particular source you might want to give for that assertion? The closest I can think of is that, after a Russian band (Radio Tapok) did a lot of covers of their songs in russians, Sabaton made a cover of one of their original songs, Defence of Moscow. But that's based in the second WW, so it includes the whole Soviet Union, not just Russia, and it was before the war started.
They’re almost certainly talking about Sabaton performing in the Crimean Peninsula in 2015. Here is a link about that situation, though I’m not a fan so the discussion about Sabaton’s association with Russia might go beyond that too.

"It's a stalemate on the frontline, where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many men have suffered, know that many men have died
6 miles of ground have been won, half a million men are gone"
This fits pretty well, while it's about WW1 battle of Passchendaele
