Szwadron 97 (English: "Troop 97", Polish analogue to the Troop) is Polish Rock Against Communism (RAC) band, which is credited as one of the most influential bands in Polish RAC movement. Szwadron's lyrics aren't typical for "World RAC scene" because they don't include any form of neo-Nazi or racist themes. However, all of the lyrics feature nationalist and some even anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist themes.
