His name was Claus von Stauffenberg
A Wehrmacht officer
This man, once national socialist
Became against Hitler
He was stationed in northern Africa
There he lost two fingers,
A hand
And an eye in the world of war
When he was back in Germany
His hate of Hitler rose
He saw the terrible holocaust
Something's got to be moved
He took all them who were on his side
And planned an assassin
A bomb in a bag to kill the tyrant
For the Nazis an evil sin
For a holy Germany
A nation without wars
He died for all who wants to be free
He was a rebel with a cause
At first a thought of success
Was in the rebels' minds
The Fuehrer seemed to be dead and killed
But no, he was alive
He survived the assassin
How could that be?
That lucky tyrant lived
Oh why is it Germany's destiny?
At last they executed him
Two friends and he were shot
He died for his land
For a nation under god
He never thought that people today
Would praise him as a hero
Because in the Nazi Germany
He was killed as a deceiver
