Win And Place
(By
WHIM-WHAM
{On reading the commentaries of some commentators on the state of morale in Axis countries, and its bearing (if any) on the duration of the war.] ARE Berliners bold and unshaken? Is Munich’s Morale on the Wane? Has the Grip of the Fuhrer grown feebler or surer? Do Germans rejoice or complain? OF: No-one has asked me these Questions, No well-informed Quarter am I, I’ve not had the chances of learning the Answers Such Quarters so glibly supplyBut, making my own Observations (One Guess is as good as the Next) I’ve come to Conclusions-no wishful sions/To comfort and guide the Perplexed. THEYRE sick of the War, I feel certain, In Hamburg, Cologne, and Berlin, But don’t be elated, because (it is stated) They’re not sick enough to give in! OF: Hunger (the Harvest is meagre) Must weaken the Herrenvolk’s Will; But Teutons can tighten their Belts and keep fightingThey'll have to be hungrier still! AND Hitler? He’s not the Dictator He was-but that isn’t to say There’s Room for surmising a popular Rising Is likely to sweep him away... I HOPE that by now you have gathered The point up to which I am leading? The War, so to speak, won’t be over this Week, Because it will still be proceeding.
