The Yanks hurt everybody’s feelingsThe Krauts start to understand the Yanks
Chapter 113
The Yanks back home were also in a big hurry,
2tBecause building the biggest army in history had pretty well cured the depression,
3uBut everything was being rationed,
4Which meant that nobody would get to spend any of the money they were making till the troops came home,
5And so they tried to figure out some new ways of getting the war over with faster,
6Which they did.
7aTheir biggest idea was to build an enormous bomb that could destroy an entire city in a few seconds,
8bWhich they thought would shorten the war,
9And besides, they knew that their idea was the kind of idea that Krauts usually had,
10cWhich they knew because the Yanks who had come up with this idea were really Krauts who had decided to be Yanks after it got dtoo dangerous to live in Germany anymore,
11Which meant that honest-to-goodness eKraut-type Krauts might be thinking along the same lines,
12And it just wouldn’t do to let the Krauts get a bomb like that first.
13So the Yanks started something called the fManhattan Project,
14Which changed everything,
15Forever.
