After I came home, I heard from this song, but it was quite different, as I remeber it was this: I never teach my son to be a soldier or to take a rifle or a gin, or to lift the rifle on his shoulder, to fight against another mothers son. Let all the kings of the empire fight there battles quite alone, it wouldnt long a day and they will also say: I never teach my son to be a soldier, With this lyric in my mind, I raise my three boys in that way and they never became a soldier. I would like, much more people should know it. Poldi Hagenah I have been soldier in WWII, correct I have been a children soldier, because when I was prisonner, I was 17 years old.
