How happy I am to go to the front at last. To do my bit. To prove with my life what I think I feel.

Each had defended his own country; the Germans Germany, the Frenchmen France; they had done their duty.

Deutschland

Through the grill of my cell
I see children playing.
Pinned there, shrinking there,
prison-years… torture-years…

Germany,
your sons will
no longer play
as children.
