The American magazine Time points out that for the German people, each new week signifies a new deadline and nurtures the expectation of a miracle, as expressed by Time. In recent weeks, the German military leadership has been solely focused on buying time, and they have succeeded. It must be considered that in April, the German army command will likely be able to deploy not only a series of well-equipped new divisions, consisting of young, fanatical National Socialists, but also a range of new secret weapons into the battle.
When the enemy
thinks today
that Hitler’s Germany is lost,
he is terribly
mistaken,
the danger will soon be averted.
Just be quiet,
just be quiet,
for we will manage it,
in April,
in April,
you will receive marvelous weapons.
Just be quiet,
in April,
you will receive new divisions,
in April,
when Dolf wants to,
with rifles and cannons.
Colossal,
innumerable,
in large numbers we will
not only
across the Rhine,
push back all enemies,
Even the Russians
will have to believe
in the miracle in the end,
Mr. Stalin,
not Berlin,
no, you will be thrown out
Of the Reich,
easy peasy
the Russian army will be defeated,
in April,
idyllic victory,
even though March may be difficult to bear.
Everyone
should and can
shout on the Führer’s birthday
in April
with a roar
„Adolf is the best.“
And they believe
and bow their heads
before him in Berlin and Munich,
In April,
no one wants
to lynch the Führer more than today.
Far and wide
unity
all suffering would be over,
war would be over,
Goebbels, Ley,
all bigwigs, all profiteers,
would be glad
that they finally saved their lives,
But April
throws these sad cadets
into the trash.
