UNSEEN ENEMIES

OF HITLER. The German working class are very definitely not all Fascist fanatics, on the contrary they are working in their • own way for the overthrow of Hitler s regime. | The German fighters for freedom have created their own literature, their own slogans. It is the only worth while literature that has come from the new Germany. This song, the Fluesterlied of the Austrian poet, Fritz Bruegel, is whispered and hummed everywhere in the Reich. We are unseen, unknown are we; No tell-tale badge is ours; The enemy’s hatred leaves us free, We mock his brutal powers. We are uncaptured, unrepressed, In darkness ever-dwelling, In spite of the revengeful foe, Our silent ranks are swelling. The net grows finer as we spin; In darkest night-arisen, It spreads through cities and through towns, Defying court and prison. We are the aim you breathe; we slip Through enemy's hands unknowing, He watches till his eyes grow blind, Can only sense our growing. The light of dawn'gives us no rest/ Through secret lanes we burrow; To-day we are the deposed, but ours Shall be to-morrow.
