Gentlemen, start your Stukas...

Wir fühlen in Horsten und Höhen
Des Adlers verwegenes Glück!
Wir steigen zum Tor
Der Sonne empor,
Wir lassen die Erde zurück.

What is this all about? Let's just call it Norbert Schultze Appreciation Day.

Kamerad! Kamerad!
Alle Mädels müssen warten!
Kamerad! Kamerad!
Der Befehl ist da, wir starten!
Kamerad! Kamerad!
Die Losung ist bekannt:
Ran an den Feind!
Ran an den Feind!
Bomben auf Engelland!

Yes, I recognize that it is never acceptible to bomb civilians, whether they be in Dresden or in London. And, certainly the cause of the German leadership was hardly a good one.

However, when I read about things like this, I really find it difficult to get teary-eyed over besieged London, and I can't say that the victory of Stalin and his allies was a great triumph for humanity, even though the end of Hitler was.
