The Lyrics

The Ju-322 Mammut (Mammoth) was an airborne glider ordered by the RLM for the invasion of Britain (Operation Sealion). It was a massive wooden glider that could carry either 140 fully armed troops or a light AFV or a light panzer. As such, the floor of the tranport section had to be reinforced which meant sluggish performance and dangerous handling. It was planned to tow 200 of these over Britain carrying over 20,000 troops and X-quantity of tanks to be used against the ill-equipped Home Guard. But only one machine flew in 1941 and lost control. It crashed in a farmer's field and sat for two weeks before being recovered. At that time Sealion was postponed indefinately. There were 2 prototypes + 98 under construction that were sawed-up for firewood! A total waste of time as the Me-321 heavy glider was adapted with captured French engines to become the Me-323 Gigant (Giant) transport suitable for the Med and Eastern Fronts. The Mammut would have been an easy target as it had to be towed to Britain by various aircraft like the Ju-90, several Bf 110s, or a Ju-52. It was perhaps a blessing in disguise that it got cancelled. Only a few photos of it exist (see below)...
Sad JU 3-2-2
flew one time

Was a project for airborne troops
Lift requirin’
Flying wing tryin’

A real demand for it
To be England bound
140 troops ready (in each)
200 Mammoths would set them down!!!

[Over 20,000 troops spread round]

Sad JU 3-2-2
flew one time
Declined

Cancelled you
Cancelled you
Cancelled you
A strong glider of wood
Sight in the air
From the tug broke free
Control no good

[Crash down it would]

Not to be
Sad JU 3-2-2
flew one time
(“Sealion” postponed indefinitely)

I've seen photos of the Me.323. They apparently saw some service. Would have been one hell of a tempting target for any fighter jock.

Most Me-323s had defensive armament of up to 11 cannons + MGs... but the E-2/WT featured 11x 20mm MG-151 cannons (4 above wing, 1 nose, and 6 body) plus 4x 13mm MG-131: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Bilder/Me323/Me323E2WT-2.jpg

In the Med the Me-323 took a beating being easy prey for the Spits but on the Ostfront where the Germans held air superiority they did a decent job at transport. One experimental Me-323 was modified to drop a 17.7 ton bomb, but crashed due to breaking the spine!
