The Lyrics

Parody of a parody X48! From April 19, 1943- May 16, 1943 the second Warsaw Ghetto battle was raging. At first both Polish and Jewish Resistance Groups (ZOB + ZZW) struck w/o warning when the Germans entered the Ghetto. The SS under Brigadefuhrer Jurgen Stroop was called in and immediately engaged the enemy which was using improvised weapons and crude reinforced bunkers in Ghetto cellars. The SS brought in artillery and systematically started to destroy everything in their path. A particular nasty weapon used was "Pandora" which used coal dust explosive shells to pulverize hard targets of mass rubble into nothing. One shell could bring down an entire building! And yet the resistance continued, the Jews seeking shelter in the sewers. The German used tear gas to flush them out and used dogs to sniff out others hiding in the area. The ZZW fled into an underground tunnel and out into the forest leaving helpless civilians to the SS. Those still hiding in the tunnels were sealed in and then trucks carrying a cyanide gas pumped it in, killing them. The battle raged for over a month but by May 16th was over. The Germans lost 17 killed + 93 wounded. The Jews lost 7,000 killed and 56,000 captured- to be transported to death camps. All attempts to breach the 10 ft walls failed...
The Jewish roundup—relocation to death camps thrivin’. . .
ZOB and ZZW defiant this time
In the Ghetto they built more forts. . .arms smuggled in;
sewers, under; last effort to save lives

(German forces slaughtered those inside)

Flamethrowers to start then new experimentals;
“Pandora” firedamp weapon tears rubble apart!
SS dogs unleashed caused hidden Jews terror,
seeking and biting, jaws were bloody
Liquidation- hard for the Jews to fight back:
ten foot walls hard to top; so down into the dark

Using sewers wasn‘t smart—tear gas brought them up!

Ghetto’s sealed up, is impossible to escape
Fighting is fearsome, ZZW departs;
The Jews succumb to German firepower
Success rare, SS everywhere
Those still hiding were sealed in the sewers;
Gas cyanide; pumped in from trucks that remained parked

The Germans had ev’ry advantage from the start
To fight with improvised weapons wasn‘t too smart;
through Muranowski Tunnel ZZW departs
7,000 killed and tens of thousands lives marked
for suffering and death when the trains last depart…

[17 killed + 93 wounded Stroop remarks]
