Poem

When the Germans invaded Latvia and Estonia
They decided these people would have 3rd Reich favours
And so they recruited or drafted young men into the Waffen SS 
Who fought on the Eastern Front battles showing their mettle

When the war started to go bad for the Germans
These troops were still fighting backs to the wall without end
Then Hitler suicided and the Germans surrendered 
The Latvian and Estonians couldn’t go home and were stranded

The Nazis had to be tried for criminal behaviour 
So these Waffen SS volunteered to guard their old Nazi leaders without favour
And were trained and uniformed as American soldiers
Learning American military drill not goose stepping bolder

Isn’t it ironic that the SS soldiers were in the pay
Of the country seen as an enemy now in a shade of grey
So they stood guard in the Nuremberg courts
As non-goose stepping Ex-Waffen SS Soldiers of sorts

Looking back at the guards so pristine 
And know they are not all that very clean
When the Nazi criminals were tried hung or jailed
These ex-Waffen SS ended up in the USA after the war ending prevailed.
