OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG
Things stop going so well
Chapter 33
But then the oAmericans entered the war, and things stopped going quite so well.
2pThe Russians got stubborn about Stalingrad,
3qAnd the Brits got lucky in North Africa,
4And the British and American bombers started taking Kraut cities apart,
5rDay and night,
6sAnd then there was D-Day,
7tWhen it turned out that a nation of two hundred million people could produce more weapons and ships and soldiers than a nation of eighty million people,
8uAnd the long, slow retreat began,
9With bodies coming home to Germany from the eastern front in Russia,
10And the western front in France,
11And the southern front in Italy,
12vWhere the worthless, cowardly Wops had caved in like a bunch of sniveling Jews,
13Which is only a figure of speech, of course,
14And shouldn’t be taken the wrong way,
15But will be, of course,
16wBecause no one can give Germany a break,
17Ever.
