Axis & Allies - damowords

Canto III
D‐Day & the Allied invasion of Normandy
Traitors!
With certain gen’ralry new thought took hold,
With growing doubt comes disillusionment,
Der Fuhrer naught but bemustach’d cuckold
Upon der Fatherland’s destruction bent;
“Soon Stalin comes…”
“We must conduct a plan…”
“Wrench our petty kingdoms away from that madman!”
Having lost both an arm & eye,
Tho mind in prime condition,
Von Stauffenburg, willing to die,
Gneis’nau’s dashing great‐grandson,
Responded to the sacred cry
Of this secret mission,
“I’ll do it if you guarantee the coup!”
“Assured, but first there’s one thing we must do…”
Von Falkenburg & Steulpagnel
Pour’d Rommel a fresh Schnapps,
“Just your name vil avoid civil
War & Deutschland’s collapse!”
He thought awhile then gave it, “He’ll be martyr’d” “Yes,
perhaps…”
In the track of great armies there must follow lean years
