Seeing Red

{Hitler did not attend the meeting in Berlin to celebrate the tenth birthday of the Nazi Party. Goebbels explained that Hitler regretted being unable to leave his headquarters where he was "conducting great defensive battles." All the Nazi leaders emphasised the danger of the Russian offensive, and pictured Germany as the protector of Europe against Bolshevism] HE Fuehrer has asked me to say That he’s sorry he cannot attend, He cannot be with us To-day While critical Battles impend. The Fuehrer regrets it as much As any of us, it is clear; But the present Position is such That he hasn’t the time to be here. O* soberly Heil him again! The Aryan Atmosphere’s tense, The Fuehrer, we’re bound to explain, Is up to his Eyes in Defence; And Goering and Goebbels (that’s me) Are doing the Best that we can To make One and One equal Three And Confusion resemble a Plan. t seu Line for the Party to take Is "Bolshevik Threat to the West." Oh, when will the British awake And see it was All for the Best That the Fuehrer resorted to War?+~ And when will Americans learn That the Safety of Europe-no MoreObliged us to slaughter and burn? O*® once we. had only to mention The Communist Menace, to scare The World, and divert its Attention From What we were doing Elsewhere. Now, redder than ever we thought it, That Menace has struck from behind; Alone we have faced it and fought itAnd Nobody Else seems to mind!
