Hindenburg and Hitler, TASS No. 1178, February 28, 1945

In January 1933, Hindenburg gave Hitler “full power.”
In January 1945 Hitler hurriedly shipped the remains of Hindenburg out of Eastern Prussia.

The general said to the bandit:
“Get down to work, bitte!
You’re all fresh, and I am tired.
I’m beaten, and you’re not yet beaten.”

But awesome 1945
Beat even this old thug.
And the beaten one carries the another beaten one
To the rubbish heap, to a common grave.
