To turn the right strategic screw
A blitzkrieg plan they would brew
A nail through the hexagonic shape
European borders violently changed

The operation led through the Ardennes
Demise along the Somme valley
Allied units cut off, caught in surprise
Pushed back into a sea of gray

Borders moved, from the map scraped
Baptized in blood, lands draped in red
Before the fall the sky was often blue
The victims of war fell hard and cruel

On june 5th the case turned red
Licking their wounds counting the dead
Eight divisions, last stand soon gone
June the 14th the end game was done
