Dietrich

Colonel-General Joseph ‘Sepp’ Dietrich SS Sepp Dietrich spent part of his youth as a butchers apprentice, then rose through the ranks of the German army to command the sixth SS Panzer Army. Colonel-General Joseph ‘Sepp’ Dietrich SS 1893-1966

Ever met that kind of guy
that sits, stares you in the eye.
You know he’s squaring for a fight
just hoping for a scrap tonight.
Pugnacious looking cocky too
violence comes oozing through.
Never seen him in your life
clocking you then your wife.
‘Sepp‘ Dietrich fits that bill
punching people for a thrill.
Swaggering braggart, bully too
glowering over yours, you.
You would have thought this man
would have been an also ran.
No education to speak of
seemingly, all push, shove.
 
Then soldiering caught Seppy’s eye
he waved the butchers shop good bye.
In 1911 he starts his climb
through the ranks in double time.
The Great War came, went
a rising star in this event.
A Sgt. Majors badge he wore
well decorated for this tour.
The war lost on Berlins say
the Freikorps his next foray.
Fighting Commies on the street
the reds soon beat a quick retreat.
 
Dietrich soon caught Hitler’s ear
Hitler quick to commandeer.
They formed the SS Leibstandarte
head bouncer was Seppy’s part.

33’ became Dietrich’s year
A star in Major-Generals gear.
In charge of Hitler’s murder squad
  and boy! did he ride roughshod?
  Killing all no questions asked
  for Dietrich just a menial task.
But soon again the winds of war
had General Dietrich back on tour.
No disgrace at high command
with some success on Russian land.
Then he moved to western shores
allied pilots closed the doors.
Through a long military career
  Geneva’s rules did not appear.
To concern Dietrich in any way
only Dietrich would hold sway.
At Nurembourg we would hear
the cruelties of this career.
Unarmed prisoners made to stand
the last word heard--the FIRE! command.
