This is a song by Erhard Bauschke and his orchestra, recorded by Deutsche Grammophon on October 11, 1939. It was recorded at the start of WW2, when the British Expeditionary Force was fighting in France.

Many Jewish companies are mentioned here, which to this day remain well known in the UK: Monty Burtons provided clothing, while Marks and Spencers and Joe Lyons provided pies to eat.

And so, as a million british men died defending Poland in ruins, this song asked: "Why must we fight when the Jews are still at home, profiting from war?"
===================================================
Onward conscript army!
You have nought to fear;
Isaac Hore Belisha
Will lead you from the rear!

Clad by Monty Burton,
Fed on Lyons Pies,
Fight for Yiddish conquest!
While the Briton dies...

Onward conscript army!
Marching on to war;
Fight and die for Jewry,
As we did before!

You must die for Poland,
Pay your debt of thanks,
To your benefactors:
International banks!

To place again the Germans,
Beneath the Jewish star;
Onwards to the shambles:
"Goy cattle that you are!".

Poor? Perscuted Jewry
Will finance war again!
Forward to the slaughter,
For the Hebrews gain!

Driven to the shambles,
Like a flock of sheep...
By lying propaganda!
By their plans laid deep!

So for Israel Moses Sieff,
You must fight and die!
That Marks & Spencer's neon signs,
May still light up our sky...

Forward, on to Poland,
Ten million men shall fall!
That Judah's reign of terror,
May hold us all in thrall!
