Birthday Poem: Once again we stand on the battlefield With hearts ablaze Ready to bear any pain For our great Fatherland   The battle is hard The enemy holds us in no regard But at the end of our long way We will meet German victory   As on the wide steppe of Kuban On the Laban passage The Panzers’ treads chime on Their battle-tune   At Malgobek and Ssagopschin As Panzer faced Panzer There stood the 2nd Company With glory by the first tank battle

Hand embroidered in flat and rounded silver wires
