For me WW2 is just what I read in the history books, but it's still important I think, to remember that people fought and died so that we can live in peace... As for the V2s: I know they were launched from Holland rather than at Holland (Rotterdam was destroyed by planes), but they seem to be a clear symbol of the horrors of that war. May 10, '40 A small nation was awoken, As tanks rolled into the polders. Waterlinie, Grebbelinie; Useless against the violence.
And then a rain of bombs came down. Rotterdam perished in the flames. The blaze could be seen from afar, And the smell of death filled the air.
May 5, '45
After five years of oppression After famine and manmade floods The V2 engines fell silent The smouldering of ruins stopped
No more people shot at random No more trains left for German camps How many never saw this end? Never forget. Never again...
