| Notes | This poem is likely in reference to an event during World War II. Russians are hung from lampposts and left there over winter, as a 'present' from the Germans. Soviet soldiers, civilians, and prisoners of war could be shot and executed with impunity on the orders of German officers, under the Barbarossa decree of 1941. This poem showcases an example of this cruelty. |
