...National Socialist storm troopers liked the snappy tune and text so well that they very soon adopted the entire twelve lines, almost without alterations. Only in the last two lines, the bloody-red standard had to be replaced by the swastika standard, and the proposed reversal of the "Jewish throne" was substituted for the program of protecting the Soviet Union: "Die Hakenkreuzfahne zum Himmel empor; wir stürzen den jüdischen Thron." The choice of Higher and Higher therefore was rather appropriate for the occasion, as hosts as well as guests could silently accompany the band with their...
...sailors grinned as Nazi steamers, busy in Tallinn harbor taking aboard Germans for evacuation to the Reich (see p. 21) , dipped their swastika flags three times in salute to the Soviet flotilla which replied with three dips of the hammer & sickle. Orders then cracked, Soviet gunners leaped to their positions, and a Red salute of 21 guns belched out over Tallinn, smartly returned by shore batteries...

...bridges had been destroyed, either by German bombers or retreating Polish troops, and the first big job of the Labor Service was floating pontoons and patching up Polish bridgework which could be repaired. Meanwhile, the arms and eagles of Poland were torn down from municipal buildings, replaced by the swastika, and Polish street names were swiftly changed to German. The principal stores, hotels and business houses were left in the possession of their Polish owners and staffs, but in each a Nazi was installed as boss. Many of these new bosses were former members of the German minority in Poland...
