20 aWhen all the trains were running on time,
21 bAnd the war was going so well,
22 And is that really so awful?
CHAPTER 321 cAnd so what if a lot of people joined the Nazi party?
2 dThere was the Gestapo, after all,
3 And everybody knew that it wasn't just Jews who went to econcentration camps,
4 fAnd Goebbels made sure nobody ever knew the truth about anything anyway,
5 gBecause nobody really knew what was happening,
6 Except a handful of Nazis, of course,
7 And besides, Germany was at war,
8 hAnd you have to support your leader in wartime,
9 iUnless you don't really love your country,
10 But hate it instead,

9 With bodies coming home to Germany from the eastern front in Russia,
10 And the western front in France,
11 And the southern front in Italy,
12 vWhere the worthless, cowardly Wops had caved in like a bunch of sniveling Jews,
13 Which is only a figure of speech, of course,
14 And shouldn't be taken the wrong way,
15 But will be, of course,
16 wBecause no one can give Germany a break,
17 Ever.
CHAPTER 341 And the Allies turned Dresden into a firestorm,
2 xWhich was an atrocity,
3 yEven if nobody remembers it,
4 And the Russians came marching back through the Ukraine into eastern Germany,
5 zRaping and looting and slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians,
6 Which was an atrocity,
7 aaEven if nobody remembers it,
8 bbAnd the German High Command tried to assassinate Hitler,
