Hitleriada: a Short Biography of the Fascist Beast, TASS No. 0503, July 30, 1942

Still green in his Fascist development,
He was a paid spy for the factory owners,
Trying for all he was worth
To inform on workers.

Inscribed on the paper Hitler holds in his hand:
Denunciation

Furiously inciting pogroms,
Never taking his eyes off the bosses,
He recruited rabble from Munich beer halls
To defeat the working class.

Hangman, savage, “knave” in the bankers’ nasty game,
Having poisoned the blood of the Germans with racism,
He began burning the works of geniuses in bonfires
To resurrect the Dark Ages.

"Mein Kampf," "My Struggle,” his little book,
His fascist balderdash
With its bandit ideology,
He turned into a steady income
It is his cash cow.

Beast, “Hitler-cannibal,” he shook the world with war,
Wanting to make the whole globe Fascist.
Rushing heedlessly at everyone like a mad dog,
He engaged the Soviet land in battle
And has tasted the power of Soviet resistance.

The beast is still dangerous, though in the throes of delirium,
He hoarsely calls the Eastern Front "hell."
And the Western Front promises him new misfortune.
Forward, comrades! We must finish off
This vile Fascist beast in 1942.
