Street Fighting Years

In the cold Russian Winters To deter the enemy so These red starred fighters Street fighting they would know The bloodiest in modern history Thousands fell to earth Fighting for their freedom On the country of their birth Hand to hand engagements A bayonet to the girth Another fallen soldier Fighting for their worth Operation Barbarossa Is the theatre to discuss In the boundaries of success To free the likes of us The power of it's industry German's desired to greed Avenue to the Caucasus Would fuel their war torn seed In the midst of battle So many mechanical germs The Stuka, dive bomber German The T-34 in volume swarmed But the winner in this battle Was the want to save their city Mother nature intervened And the Germans were shown no pity For all their strategy and might The winter took it's toll With fighting on two fronts Their armies no longer strolled Supplies were short in demand What were, struggled through For mother nature we thank She was on the side of the true When history looks back In view to the red star brigades The Germans held ninety percent But the street fighters would never fade http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-2.php

Amazing write, James! I love the way you describe Mother Nature showing "no pity." You have brought the red star brigade period to life in a brilliant fashion. I could see the events unfolding so clearly through your words. Excellent write, James! Love you, Carolyn
