[Cz-L] "Wir sind verloren"

The daily IPA plenary was gathering at Grinberg's on first floor.
  IPA was the Jewish Gossip Agency - the only reliable source for topics.
   The year was 1943 and the Russians were launching the big counter
   offensives after Stalingrad.
   Grinberg said : " Now they are going to encircle Kursk !"
    Ginsburg asked : "Who will encircle Kursk ?"
      Grinberg:" The Russians will , but Rundstedt has all the information..
     " Who is Rundstedt?"
      " You dont know General Rundstedt of the 3- rd Army Zentrum ?
         He has 1000 tanks on stand-by just for this ."
      " He will counterattack from the East while the Russians expect him
        from the North."
        Azoy" said Ginzburg and "what will we do?"
       " We are lost "
          "What about the Americans ?"
          " The Americans are in Africa - they fight Rommel !"
           " But Montgomery is fighting Rommel.
           " Who is Montgomery ?"
               " The French general who defeated the Wehrmacht at Dunkirk !"

            After this remark there was a silence
         Grinberg concluded:
         "Wir sind verloren "
           All agreed and went home.
