Resumen de Eine Kugel kam geflogen (A bullet came a-flying)
In Der gute Kamerad, Ludwig Uhland’s touching poem of conflict between military comradeship and military discipline, a veteran recalls the death of his buddy in battle. He remembers how, as they were advancing to the attack in cadence, he heard a bullet coming at them. Before the ball tore away his friend, as if it were a piece of himself, he had time to speculate 'Is it for me or is it for you?' When the fallen warrior reached for his comrade’s hand, the well-disciplined soldier could not give it. Since troops at that time loaded and fired at command, he could not give his hand, but he could express the hope that they would remain good comerades in eternity
