War - Ww1 - Hitler's Great War Poem by Paul Warren

At first he ran from the Austro-Hungarian army call
To Munich as an artist painting buildings for sale to all
He was not successful and nearing the end of his tether
When the Great War came along volunteering in the first army gather
So he went to France and became a company runner
As a trusted and a brave soldier as no other
He won two Iron Cross awards for brave deeds done
And was wounded including a gassing on the wind was brung

In his rise to power questions were asked
About how his time as a soldier was passed
He was more a trusted private than a corporal made
But once examined his bravery record would not fade
There were times when near misses meant
He thought he was kept for important times to be spent
So he survived through that war with the last weeks in hospital
And lamented the end of the war and in Germany's fall.
