    Anyone Know What This Means?

    Writing an essay. None of my friends know German. I need to know what this phrase means: DEN KRIEG GEWINNEN WIR UND KEIN ANDERER!

    Online translators don't really help as the translation doesn't mean a lot of sense to me. I thought roughly that it might mean no one profits from war, but I need to be sure. Thanks for any help.
    System Specs:
    Gigabyte 8INXP - Pentium 4 2.8@3.4 - 1GB Corsair 3200 XMS - Enermax 550W PSU - 2 80GB WDs 8MB cache in RAID 0 array - 36GB Seagate 15.3K SCSI boot drive - ATI AIW 9700 - M-Audio Revolution - 16x Pioneer DVD slot load - Lite-On 48x24x48x CD-RW - Logitech MX700 - Koolance PC2-601BW case - Cambridge MegaWorks 550s - Mitsubishi 2070SB 22" CRT

    Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!
    May all 0ur base someday be belong to you!
    Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.
    And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz,
    just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.
    For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s 4ever and ever, 4m3n.

    Nevermind, a friend of a friend of a friend that speaks German was able to tell me. It means "We won the war and no other." Phew, glad I found out before deadline...

      Nope. It means "We WILL win the war and no one else".

        LOL...woops. Guess I'll have to change my essay a bit. Grrr...and I thought I was done.

        EDIT: Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, I can see how it makes sense to the picture that it's in now. Heh, you saved me from an F. Now to bed I go...finally.

          Additional info: The grammatical time used here is the present, but in german, you can use the present tense instead of future tense, especially when in english you'd say "we WILL win the war" - if you meant "we're GOING TO win the war" you'd use future I in german.
