Zur Erinnerung an die Kriegszeit Anno Domini 1916
Wenn wir felt zusammenhalten, treu nach Bethmann-Hollwegs Lehren,
Dann wird sich der Hungerteufel bald zu allen Teufeln scheeren!
To commemorate the war Anno Domini 1916
If we stick together firmly, true to Bethmann Hollweg's teachings,
Soon the demon of hunger will go to the devil for shearing!
Oskar Beringer.
