The Year's At The Spring
By
WHIM-WHAM
"A Soviet broadcast . .. gave the lie to German statements about the severe weather, the exaggerated German reports obviously being designed to excuse the lack of successes’’.-Cable news item. "We had to face ... a winter such as has not been known for forty years. What is to come can only be easier’’-Hitler speaking in Berlin. IN Spring the Fuehrer’s Fancy turns To new offensive Plans; His Thoughts in that sweet Season aren’t Like any other Man’s; The tender Leaf, the opening Flower, Speak to him'not of Love, but Power. I N Spring the Fuehrer tells his Flock That Winter’s Worst is past; Goering shall come galumphing back With Stalin’s Scalp at last. ‘The Herrenvolk, morosely pensive, Await that promised Spring Offensive! WARMER Sun will soon appear And melt the Russian Snows Where Panzers limp, and in Reverse A battered Blitzkrieg goes. Can Adolf too turn on the Heat To warm the Herrenvolk’s’ Cold Feet? ": [AST Winter was the worst for Years! We fought and froze together," Mein Fuehrer, what a Time to choose To talk about the Weather! ° The Weather is too cold? So what? Or is the Pace perhaps too hot?
