During the course of WW2
The Kriegsmarine had to make do
The U-boat threat to Britain proved
100 boats were just too few

Nevertheless, they did their best
Surface and periscope depth
Sunk convoys and enemy threats
Big guns and "fish" signaled their death

Sheer tonnage
Hard to beat
Sheer tonnage
Sunken feat

Now the numbers do not lie
Germans enjoyed two “Happy Times”
And when the escorts soon arrived
The U-boats were then forced to dive

Yet though they were bloodied- a mess
They took their toll under Doenitz
Built new U-boats that were the best
Allied ships were laid to rest

Sheer tonnage
Hard to beat
Sheer tonnage
Sunken feat

Though they rest forever more
Kriegsmarine's final score:

2800 ships sunk
U-boats with their Schnorkle trunks:
(14.3 million tons)
Raiders with their false flag stunts:
(2.5 million tons)
Mines that their enemies struck:
(1.4 million tons)
Condor “Scourge of the Atlantic” luck:
(450,000 tons)
The S-boats that were fast and tough:
(365,000 tons)
And the surface fleet’s best shots:
(100s of thousands of tons)
Luftwaffe other aircraft drops:
(100s of thousands of tons)
Destroyers and misc guns:
(100s of thousands of tons)
Total= Over 19 million tons!!!

Sheer tonnage
Hard to beat
Sheer tonnage
Sunken feat

Even under complete defeat
They beat all other Allied fleets…

Combined!!!
