The nightmare began in Germany, but quickly spread
Black helmets bore two letter S, a lightning bolt style
The uniforms were black, with silver or white piping
Their job was to hunt down and kill or capture Jews
The SS was a criminal organization, and did a vile job
That the Allies had no equal unit in a similar purpose
When the Allies caught SS men, many killed them
Hitler wanted better efficiency, ordered a new unit
The new hunters were called the Einsatzgruppen
Russians thought of black crows, circling the dead
Survivors were shot, or they were taken away
A new kind of efficiency began, and few survived
For they had an incredible efficiency in killing
And they didn't only kill or capture Jews, but others
Have no pity upon the SS, they took lives with glee
For no good reason it happened, only vile thoughts
They did it because they agreed with their leader
Germany had been 'too kind to their Jewish populace'
And only they had the resolve to kill or harm their foe
