LOL, as a German I had never seen any of these neat Bierseidels back in Deutschland. The writing is in the old German alphabet called Fraktur from the 1700\'s that we still had been taught in 1950\'s Berlin schools. Many of our school books came in that font.
Anyway, let\'s translate: Das allergroesste Kriegesheer kann ohne uns nichts machen *** The largest military army can do nothing without us --- Die Siegesgoettin lacht nicht eher bis die Haubitzen krachen *** The goddess of victory doesn\'t laugh until the howitzers rumble --- Wo Artillerie sich zeigen thut zieht jeder hoeflichst seinen Hut *** When Artillery appears everyone politely lifts their hat Macht Platz Haubitzen kommen die keinen Mann verschonen *** Make way for Howitzers that don\'t spare a man
By the handle the woman is saying: Behuete Dich Gott es waer so schoen gewesen ***God bless you, it would have been so beautiful
On the opposite side Heil dem Koenig den es blitzt *** Hail to the King who sends those flashes Fuers Vaterland aus der Haubitze *** For the Fatherland with the Howitzer
