The Lyrics
As the was situation grew more dangerous day-by-day in 1945 it was decided to move many secret weapons underground like the V-1, V-2, and jet aircraft. The He-162 was relocated to underground facilities built in salt mines all over Germany and used semi-skilled slave labor that were housed underground in damp barracks with inadequate heating, blankets, and food. I have no firm number on the deaths from He-162 production unlike the V-2 Mittelwerk that killed 20,000... but people did die down there. Close to 1000 He-162s were under assembly in May 1945. This parody is about a prisoner's account...
They put me in a zoo
A salt mine
Slave labor for the SS goons
Hands were tremblin’
Heinkel assemblin’
Aerial bombardment
Plants went underground
The cold could be deadly
Barracks were damp and food was not found
[Starving workers died all around]
They put me in a zoo
Underground mine
‘45
Lots to do
Was no food
SS goons
They beat us everyday
And didn’t care
About workers needs
Work without pay
[Worked as their slaves]
Denied pleas
They put me in a zoo
Underground mine
(Until liberation when we were freed)
[He-162 did not succeed]
A salt mine
Slave labor for the SS goons
Hands were tremblin’
Heinkel assemblin’
Aerial bombardment
Plants went underground
The cold could be deadly
Barracks were damp and food was not found
[Starving workers died all around]
They put me in a zoo
Underground mine
‘45
Lots to do
Was no food
SS goons
They beat us everyday
And didn’t care
About workers needs
Work without pay
[Worked as their slaves]
Denied pleas
They put me in a zoo
Underground mine
(Until liberation when we were freed)
[He-162 did not succeed]
