Poland, thus divided, was in bad shape!
The murders began, France felt our great weight
Bypassed the Maginot Line and came down
Into gay Paris, we rolled into town!
For me, Hitler sent from above! - We marched in triumph
Sang songs of youth - Of War! The iron glove!
French crying madness, such a meek surrender
Hitler, our Treaty of Versailles avenger,
That but for years our torment had fled away! -
Hitler had seized both the nation and the day,
We held the Continent, that much was true,
At Dunkirk, the Brits rescued quite a few
And across the Channel: there was a sound,
BBC radio, all gather round, Churchill spoke proud
“We shall fight them here and there”.. as unto death
And when push comes to shove: unto our last breath
We will fiercely battle in the hot summer air,
Spits and Hurris gather round, Oh, do not despair!
How passion stirs the heart!
We will not bow
“We shall survive”
He led, watched. Adler Tag starting now!

Terror now came from above: Hit and miss,
Heinkels and Messers with Hurris and Spits! -
Thought he, «I will not fear the Luftwaffe dread,
Through the “Arsenal of Democracy” fed
We have the RN, still controls the world’s seas
Build-up! Germans put us to the test: we’ll see
U-boat threat best they got - no, no, no -
Still, the Lend-Lease materials do flow. -
Fighter Command still holds! Fighting intense -
At sea, “Scourge of the Atlantic” is a menace,
We fight alone, we defy the Germans.»

But the Germans kept coming, day without end
Heinkel bombing runs, targets military
Home Guard drilling, fear of German victory
Fighting in the sky got worse: price to pay,
But a lone German bomber blew-it one day;
Ditched bombs on London, oh what a surprise!
Bomber Command came alive. Berlin reply.
Hitler angered, full fury! Would not let it be
Switched from strategic targets to cities!
For the British, this was such a relief -
Met a great need, worked out well! Beyond belief!
RAF repaired air bases forthwith
Airframes and fuel rose, thank Hitler. What a gift!
The urban bombing was intense, rain of steel
German losses mounted, they lost their zeal,
Messers then performing triple duty,
Aerial campaign denied them victory;
Bf 110 and Stukas failed right away:
With the 109 overworked each day,
Hitler just cursed; he did not understand
He lifted their burden through tough demands. -
Denied victory, Goering thus did lament
Invasion troops? Could not be sent!
Londoners held fast in the Tube under earth
RAF fought hard through radar network search
Lost time, the Messers and Heinkels force-ditched
Into the Atlantic - Hitler and Goering were pissed
Then Dowding smiled, and Churchill replied
That the German invasion was thus denied
That “300” saved the day? Propaganda for books
Heinkel bombing misfortune! Overlooked!
Hitler lost his nerve. Goering just blushed,
“Sealion” postponed after such a rush
German forces take a rest, Hitler resents -
What’s next? To Africa DAK will be sent…
