your strength reading it. You've heard quite a lot about me, if your remember correct. I'll help your remember. Some of my stories I've written in the past few years. You remember "Monster of the Grave"* and"Monster of the Cave"?** There's plenty of others, but I can't think of them just now. My friends, I'm closing this now, and I hope your mind has more thought about Hell, for I'm sure I've given you the correct thoughts of all time.

                 SONGS OF THE DEUTSCHLAND

HEREIN we present to the publish, "For the First Time", new songs released by the Office of Public Enlightenment for mass singing in Germany. These ballands, the pedantic observer will note, were all written after Germany's serious defeats, beginning with Stalingrad, and express the new spirit in Germany: that of defense, and clinging to the faith, and the will to win in spite of all odds. They are not to be confused with earlier Herst-Wessel songs__and instead of expressing a mood of "Tomorrow We Sail 'Gaist England", the atmosphere is rather one of "Shut fast the doors--guard Europe's shores!" and the delightful times in store for everyone "When the Panzers Roll Again". Here, undiluted and uncesored, is the quintessence of German morale in these troubled days, compiled from Nazi handbooks and Meisterzingerfleuggenheimengefangenlagerearhardtiststadburgeigensteiner throught the efforts of secret agents whose names must not be mentioned for reasons of security. It is interersting to note that few persons with an artistic bent remain in the New Germany; many melodies have been borrowed from popular American music to provide vehicles for these soul-stirring ditties from a nation of goose-stepping Siegfrieds.

                   WHEN THE PANZERS ROLL AGAIN, (1
            (Melody:   When the Roses Bloom Again)

                   When the Panzers roll again,
                   We will all take a vow:
                   We will get to Stalingrad,
                   Somehow...
                   When our planes take back the sky,
                   When they swoop to the fore--
                   We will cross the dear old Don,
                   Once more.
                      Although you've said we're beaten,
                      "They've lost too many men,"
                      You'll find our foes retreatin'
                      When the Panzers rolls Eastward again...
                     When the Panzers roll again,
                    And the war starts anew,
                    You will find the German heart
                    Still true.
