The Lyrics
Not much to say except Germany took 1.3MT of bombs during WW2 and many of the latter 800-1000 bomber raids targeted Berlin.... Amazing that the Berliners still held out hope for Hitler to deliver a Wunderwaffe even by the 11th hour!!!
Berlin is a bonfire, consumed in flame
Allied Liberators, feed the fire with steel rain
And what do Berliners get, for all this pain?
Revenge desire, while Hitler goes insane
Even though they know - I suppose they'll show
They are defiant and cold - truth be told
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Now Berlin is in shambles, people livin’ like animals
But can you take it, for just a few months more?
And what do the Allies expect?
German character to change?
What you have got, is a Volk that stays the same…
Even though they know - I suppose they'll show
They are defiant and cold - truth be told
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Tell me the war can be won
Tell me there's more Wunderwaffen
Hitler is the only one, Ja!
Tell me he is the chosen one
Hitler is the only one for you
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully-
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully-
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Tell me the war can be won
Tell me there's more Wunderwaffen
Hitler is the only one for you
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Allied Liberators, feed the fire with steel rain
And what do Berliners get, for all this pain?
Revenge desire, while Hitler goes insane
Even though they know - I suppose they'll show
They are defiant and cold - truth be told
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Now Berlin is in shambles, people livin’ like animals
But can you take it, for just a few months more?
And what do the Allies expect?
German character to change?
What you have got, is a Volk that stays the same…
Even though they know - I suppose they'll show
They are defiant and cold - truth be told
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Tell me the war can be won
Tell me there's more Wunderwaffen
Hitler is the only one, Ja!
Tell me he is the chosen one
Hitler is the only one for you
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Then someone will say the war is lost, Reich can’t be saved
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully-
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully-
Despite all their rage they are still at war fully engaged
Tell me the war can be won
Tell me there's more Wunderwaffen
Hitler is the only one for you
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved
Yes, they still believe that Germany can be saved

Oh Man! looks like someone really "jumped the gun" with that war! ;-D Super job Rob! 555! :-)
It makes you wonder just how people manage to live in Berlin, or Beirut, or Sarajevo and other cities that have suffered from years of war. We all heard of the fighting in Belfast from the 1960's onward. But I believe just as many people were killed in criminal acts in Kansas City over the same period, and no one ever said we were under siege.
AFAIK, Berlin had a pre-war population of 3 million which was reduced to 1.2 million by 1945. Although hit by massive 800-1000 bomber raids with 500+ escorts, the LW still fought over Berlin until the end and the Allied a/c as well as the Soviets on the ground had a very hard time with the Zoo Bunker with its heavy 128mm guns and almost indestructable building. The Soviets actually "asked" the Germans to surrender the Zoo Bunker after even their biggest cannons of 203mm barely scratched the building at near point blank range. Germans refused and so it was ringed and isolated until the official German surrender.
