Victory Garden

Chronology

• God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It

Interpretations

• During World War I and World War II governments encouraged individuals to develop "victory gardens," both to supplement food and to raise morale. They were planted in private homes and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany.
• "Your suit of chrome" may be a reference to the painting "The Standard Bearer" by Hubert Lanzinger, completed between 1934 and 1936 and first publicly displayed at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1937. It depicts Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, wearing a suit of armor.
• The narrator of the song appears to plead with Hitler not to commit suicide
