A child becomes a soldier,
Doomed to conscription,
Baptized in the firestorm,
He becomes a man in war.
He is the Landser
invincible soldier.
Battles, battle after battle,
undefeated in all of them,
only an iron cross,
testifies to his deeds.
The direction of march changed:< br/>To the East! - In enemy territory
Knee-deep in snow and ice,
The advance now succumbs.
The leader lets him freeze,
Death tastes bitter,
doubtful and without Hope
he escapes this hardship!
After the first winter
he storms forward again,
a merciless lightning attack
on unknown land.
Without a break< br/>into the hellish fighting,
the Stalingrad Inferno,
will he survive?
He is the soldier
the exhausted soldier.
From Generà ¤len burned,
perished in blood and death,
the realization pains him:
A soldier is nothing but dirt.
He is the soldier
the betrayed soldier.
Only a few made it through,
returned home
and in mother's embrace
the countryman also starts to cry...
