(Unter der Laterne)
This blitzkrieg has been going on for 4 years now,
Hitler wanted to win, but he couldn‘t pull it off
Things turned out differently than he thought
He will surely be overthrown,
2 × It will get done
Our dear Russians are sorting things out
They grab the Moff and hit him on the head.
Everyone finds it quite fine!
For soon there will be peace
2 × And that‘s really no joke.
Roosevelt and Churchill talk too much for me,
Constantly holding conferences, it sticks in my throat,
Do less with your mouth
And soon form the second front
2 × And carry your share of the war.
As the war comes to an end, the method is like this
They turn many strong ropes into many powerful nooses
And with such a strong rope
They hang the NSB members
2 × And thus treachery is punished.
