“... And Outdoors Ruleth”

Female anti-aircraft gun assistants
Following the instructor’s guidance, the anti-aircraft gun assistants, who are mainly recruited from volunteers and conscripts, learn to operate the equipment.

The German Nazi journalists
Wrote many a paid article,
In Spain, there were “shotgun women,”
And that wouldn’t be appropriate.

The Spanish government troops
They had a strong female presence.
No, Spanish woman doesn’t cook soup,
She’s being hurried into war

And must fight against Franco,
And against Adolf’s auxiliary legion,
But if their fighting spirit were to be quenched,
The results would be seen quickly.

After the Russian war began,
They told you as well
Perhaps it was true, perhaps imagined,
That in Russia, shotgun women fought

As Lionesses and heroines
A cruelly, wildly fight,
Even some Germans are by them
Quite slyly massacred.

And when speaking of such women,
Friedrich Schiller’s verse is valid:
“Then women become hyenas,”
Such a shotgun woman appears very perverse.

For she is bloodthirsty sadistic,
And is much more man than woman,
No wonder, she’s a Bolshevik,
And such a nature is

In line with Soviet doctrine,
In line with Stalin’s command,
Because if she weren’t sadistic,
Then she wouldn’t be red enough.

The shotgun women of Mr. Tito
Are of the same kidney
In terms of cruelty, quite the same,
So they stated, full of anger.

However, it favourably differentiates
The German woman beyond words,
She is so soft and so feminine,
With blond hair, blue eyes,

She makes the beautiful handicrafts
And cares for the beloved home,
The pearl of all femininity,
So sweet and gentle like honeycomb.

According to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi rules,
The German woman belongs at home,
Suddenly, one could get crazy
That’s thoroughly ended.

As is known in Germany’s regions,
There’s a significant shortage of men,
Now suddenly Germany’s women also
Join the war in uniform.

You see women and girls,
Dressed in smart uniforms,
As brave anti-aircraft soldiers –
The shortage now seems covered,

The German woman became an Amazon,
The German woman stands her ground,
And handles the cannon brilliantly,
And perhaps hits the mark now and then.

Yes, they all became Brunhildas
And fight for the Third Reich,
And will form a protective wall,
That was the sign from the Eternal.

The German woman became a Valkyrie,
And fights for the Reich with a lion’s courage,
And it has to be said she plays her
Soldier’s role very well.

She protects the homeland, what a delight,
Defending it with blood and body,
The latest under Adolf’s sun:
The swastika-cannon woman.
