{Dr. Goebbels, reinforced by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, sent a tribute to Hitler on the Fuhrer’s 53rd birthday. He described ‘our Hitler" as "standing at his post on the Eastern Front, weighing up the position and radiating waves of will-power to every soldier of his hard-pressed regiments."’Cable news item.] PERCHED, I imagine, on some eastern Hill, The Fuhrer radiates his mystic Will; His Legions, in a Land of Blood and Mire: Bathe gratefully in that restoring Fire: Even his Guns and Tanks Clash their metallic Thanks, And Messerschmitts, responsive to his Power, Improve their Speed by several miles an Hour. HE Panzers parried and the Spearheads blunt Feel Waves of Will-power roll along the Front. The Dogs of War lift up their drooping Tails! The Fuhrer’s Emanation riéver fails To rally his hard-pressed Divisions to the Test: Knee-deep in Mud, blown back by Bomb and Sheil, They catch the Influence, and All is welll!H OW far the German Fuhrer throws his Beams! And yet the practical Result, it seems, Of all that rare Effulgence, is no more Than mounting Losses and protracted War. Oh, is the Light that shines Along the Nordic LinesThe Fuhrer’s Beacon and the Fuhrer’s CallOnly an Ignis Fatuus after all?
