Just a little thing that passed into my head. For those who do not know it, a Quatrain is a So why not we write it up, describing any soldier / politician / other important figures who fought directly or indirectly in the war? He ascended on the brink of defeat, Right upto the Fanatic's knee, Glory brought him no honor, For instead of blood, he proclaimed peace. Is about Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Paulus, (6th army). If you are still wondering how here is the key.. He ascended on the brink of defeat, {the time of his promotion} Right upto the Fanatic's knee, {Fanatic = Nazis} Glory brought him no honor, {The fate of the promotion} For instead of blood, he proclaimed peace. {He did not commit suicide, but . surrendered} And the like.. So shall i start off? Regards, TBA
The disillusioned hand that reeks purple, That made Millions cry out of pain, But he cared not, for he sought the superior throne for his people, The blue star was bled, again and again. Who am i talking about? Regards, TBA
Could it be Hirohito? Logic: Imperial purple POWs/Chinese Imperial expansion US forces (disillusioned hand has me a bit stumped though)
