OUR PATH TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY
German-Soviet friendship thwarts all the Plans of the warmongers
1. Let us never forget the sufferings
that German armies inflicted an the Soviet Union. Let us never forget
that the heroic Soviet army liberated not only its own homeland but also
our fatherland from the fascist barbarians.
2. It took enormous efforts an the part of Soviet citizens to heal the
wounds of war. That our people should make reparations for at least a
fraction of the damage caused should be apparent to all honest Germans.
3. Hitlers come and go, the German people, the German state, remains.
These words of Generalissimo Stalin have been proved true. The establishment
of our antifascist democratic order has created the foundations for a
unified, democratic and peace-loving Germany...
4. ... while in the west of our homeland the Anglo-American and French
occupying powers are, at the behest of American monopolism and with the
aid of the puppets in Bonn, starting to establish a colony, an assembly
point from which to launch a new war.
5. The harmony and resolution shown by the working masses in the German
Democratic Republic in the struggle for peace has led to renewed evidence
of the trust and friendship of the Soviet Union.
6. Facts speak clearly and every honest German knows who is the enemy
and who the friend of the German people.

THWART THE PLANS OF THE WARMONGERS (Extracts)
Harry Truman broke with the policy of friendly
cooperation with the USSR and became the chief spokesman of the warmongers
who, by means of a bloody atomic war, seek to establish the worldwide
domination of American imperialism.
Konrad Adenauer. The President of the West German colonial "Republic"
is an old and trusted mainstay of the war-hungry industrialists. Today
he is in the Service of Wall Street and carries out their orders: the
establishment of an army of German mercenaries and the transformation
of Germany into a battlefield for the fight against the Soviet Union,
the people's democracies and the German Democratic Republic.
Karl Spalke. Anyone who experienced the air raid an Dresden an 23 February
1945 cannot but hate the American warmongers.
