Cpl-Hitler

When the First World War broke out Hitler said.
"Overpowered by stormy enthusiasm- I fell down
on my knees and thanked heaven for granting me
the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time".

Cpl.Adolph 'Adi' Hitler. 1889 -1945.

Hitler was rescued from his drifting life,
By rumblings of war and oncoming strife,
Germany not Austria his leanings were bent,
His spirits lifted by this awesome event.

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand,
By a man named Princip from Serbian land,
Austro-Hungary attacked the Serbs.
Then Russia and France called on reserves.

Belgian nuetrality the Germans ignored,
The British lion -awakened then roared,
Hitler signing for Bavarian command,
Overcome with enthusiasm-for his adopted land.

For Hitler the army a base and a home,
Stopping his restless urge to roam,
With the 'List' regiment he first saw war,
At Ypres in Belgium he started his tour.

Decorated early- in this vicious war,
The Iron Cross 2nd class he very soon wore.
Competent, courageous, alert and keen,
A credit to any fighting machine.

Between actions quietly reserved,
Drawing and philosophy studiously observed,
No presents or cards at Christmas time,
His pet dog 'Foxl' suited him fine.

Surviving Ypres and making his name,
The battle at Somme his next little game,
A wound in the leg caused him to fall,
Convalescing, his nature, not suited at all.

Back in action for the last great push,
Heading for Paris in a desperate rush,
Nearly, the name of this little game,
A desperate attempt before Americans came.

A First Class Iron Cross Hitlers reward,
A Jewish officer gave the award,
At the second Ypres in a gas attack,
Partly blinded -but he would be back.

Jb a coy 3 para
The Iron Cross First Class normally only given to
Commissioned officers.

any comments on this fine catholic

You have crossed the line this time and I seriously think strong action needs to be taken with regards to your membership on this forum.

A forums reputation is built on the comments of its members and I think any local body (public or private) would seriously reconsider any ties with WO due to the potentially damaging comments you sumbit on a regular basis.

You do not promote a friendly persona. You launch personal attacks on other members, for no reason. You post (imo) utter rubbish to provoke argumentative threads and not content with that you bring Hitler into it.

Hitler was brought up a staunch catholic-he also tried to wipe out another religion -judaism-ORGANISED religion has always been trouble-indeed as far
back as henry 11 he tried to shut beckets rantings up- religion belongs to the individual it should never have become institutionalised-i am NOT anti religious-stop your hysterics

clearly jobbe you still havent grasped the difference between religion and faith... almost every post of yours is anti religion

cleary- i do not like 'blind faith' if you cannot prove it please PLEASE shut up-
