GERMANS WILL NOT MAKE IT!

By Nikolai Aseev

 

 

 

-- Germans, you've got to make it! But the Germans are tired.

The news from the Eastern Front makes them sick; so does the news from the Western Front.

Bomb explosions on the territory of Germany make things worse.

No way for Germans to make it. They'd do better to die.

THE FORMER LANDOWNER

by Samuil Marshak

 

Two beggars can be seen on the streets of Berlin: a former landowner from Ukrain and his wife.

The wife likes to talk about the good old times. They used to have a large estate -- Hitler's present, and two hundred slave-peasants.

One day all the peasants joined the Soviet troops, and the couple had to flee the country. The old bicycle is all they have left. Could anyone pay for their dinner?
