Imagining the 1960s if Hitler Won in World War II
Reich | Infographics Show
Heavy boots march, a loud, repeating sound
As the Reich's evil flags are displayed around
Silencing freedom's voice, creating a dark link
To chain the dreams of the world on the brink
From Auschwitz's jaws, the chimneys spew
Smelling of humanity's burning residue
As cries of the doomed echo and burn
Hope's resilient, defiant return
Yet in Ural strongholds, that flame is stirred
By partisan spirits who'll never be deterred
Waiting for their chance to take a firm stand
And break evil's cruel commands
While in the New World, a different dream takes flight
A bright starry promise to conquer night's plight
As freedom's engines, their white trails behind,
Soar to free mankind from its bind
Two visions now battle, their destinies linked
Despotic horror, its harsh doctrine sinks
Or liberty's victory, its brilliance restored
Over tyranny's ashes, its truth underscored
Can that moonlit path outshine oppression's gloom?
When bravery reignites the unchained mind's bloom?
Let those beacons light the way for everyone
No totalitarian force can long overrun
