At Monte Cassino, a failed gamble
They bombed the monastery, angered the Pope
But the Nazis hid well in the rubble
And made it harder for Allies to cope
Rome freed, D-Day in June, Parisians group
To welcome De Gaulle, then Caen and Brussels
Taken, but problems in Holland. The scope
Of Nazism shrinks, but informers tell
On Anne Frank's family. Warsaw rebels
Too soon, the town destroyed, Soviet tanks roll
In after the Germans leave. The Japs hope
Their suicidal banzai tactics will
Deter Yank progress, enough islands fall
To bomb their mainland - tightening of the rope
