Brecht made this book when he was in exile in Denmark and consists of photographs cut from magazines accompanied by four-line rhyming poems. It is a very interesting anti-war protest book but also focusses on the Americans fighting the war with reluctance and seeing Russia and socialism as their true enemy. One of the (translated) poems:
A summer day was dawning near Cherbourg
A man from Maine came crawling up the sand
Supposedly against men from the Ruhr
In fact against the men of Stalingrad.
