German Army Hospice 1/2/1943

"This is Army Captain Wunderad,
paralyzed and shell shocked
in the Battle of Stalingrad,
irreversible injuries of the spinal cord
including head wounds affecting the brain,
the poor soul will never be the same,
we recommend to the hospice
to put him out of his miseries",
reported SS Captain Dr.Bliss.

"No problem", replied SS Captain Dr. Rots,
"well treat him well, give him the proper shots,
after the crematorium does the daily mass burn,
we'll send his family the ashes in an urn,
write them he fell for his fatherland
in the glorious battle for Stalingrad,
just write down the family home address
to mail the urn of our brave Captain Wunderad.
