" I knew perfectly what that meant. From their facility it seemed as if the Germans must practise this exclamation as our boys at home practise their college yells. " Gott Strafe England. " Many times in the months to come I was to hear that same remark addressed to myself and other British prisoners. As we passed along the streets of Germany we saw signs upon the walls bearing that same inscription. The women-folk would also stand and scream it at us and show the little German children, kiddie...s not old enough to understand, how to hold up their fists to the British prisoners and shout " Gott strafe England. " We prisoners heard it so often that it became a joke among us. We said that the reason the Germans called upon God so frequently to punish England, was because they realized that they themselves were quite unable to punish England. 126 A GUEST OF THE KAISER It seems that the Germans connect the name of God with everything German. The Kaiser con- tinually speaks of " Me und Gott" On the belts worn by the German soldiers is the inscription " Gott mit uns " (God with us), amj on the Ger- man helmet is inscribed, " Mit Gott und dem Vaterland" (With God and the Fatherland).
