Description

Nazi soldier depicted as a gorilla wielding a gun. At his feet are the dead bodies of women and children. (Reduced version.)

Text:

If you don't want to give away
To a German, with his black gun,
Your house, your wife, your mother
And everything we call our native land.
Then know your homeland won't be saved
If you yourself do not save it.
And know the enemy won't be killed,
If you yourself do not kill him.
