Epigraph: As long as I am minister of aviation, not one bomb will be dropped over Germany. If that’s not true, then my name isn’t Goering, but Meier.
(From a speech by Goering)
The Germans feel the heat of all these bombs.
Everyone sees: not just once, not just twice,
The minister's words are tarnished
And have come to nothing.
Those who believed Goering
Have now found out with him
That Goering was lying,
Not like Meier, but like a snake.
