I know a German lullaby which was told to me at an nursing home where I used to volunteer. she explained to me that children why their parents weren't coming home during/after the war: "Schlaf Kindlein schlaf" (sleep child sleep)

The disturbing part: "Papa ist in Pommerland Pommerland ist abgebrand Schlaf Kindlein schlaf"

It translates to: "Papa is in Pomerania (region between Poland and Germany) Pomerania burned down Sleep child sleep"

I doubt it actually helped any child understand the situation.

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all
