Inscriptions
- The hardened SS Fritzes Are playing a last-gasp masquerade. Attempting to hide from the Red Army, They change their visage and their clothes. Fleeing from justice and from punishment, They shave off their beards and mustaches They put on peaceful robes And ladies’ bonnets instead of helmets! But no kind of masquerade Will ever trick the Soviet fighter. Behind any mask or costume He will expose the Fascist scoundrel!
