Battle of the Bulge<br />

The <strong>Allies</strong> stand at Germanyʹs threshfold,<br />

Hitler denudes defences in the East,<br />

Inspires his troops with the gusto of old,<br />

Once more the grand gods of battle may feast!<br />

Thro the Ardennes<br />

Trail miles of martial queues,<br />

Fresh aircraft, tanks & men, ʺTo Antwerp & the Meuse!ʺ<br />

Canto III<br />

The destruction of Germany & Japan by the Allied armies<br />

Fog drowns the leaves, the ice breeze chills,<br />

Vee‐Twos trail fiery blazes,<br />

Twisted vales wrapp’d by snow‐capt hills<br />

Are flush with many panzers,<br />

No vernal clusterʹd Daffodils<br />

Shall escort these soldiers,<br />

Attacking Allied lines desperately,<br />

How different from triumphal ʹforty.<br />

All‐in for the Fascist menace,<br />

Three aces... all is hush,<br />

Hitlerʹs grimace, the other ace<br />

Flippʹd for a royal flush,<br />

The <strong>Allies</strong> claim the bulging pot, upon three sides now push.<br />

France<br />

December 27th<br />

It is Magnificent, but it is not war<br />

Marshall Canrobert
