us to cut the enemy's communications with the world
"Endurei Fight While the Russians continue to
carry a decisive blow to the heart of the German en-
pre.

stances We will win final victory. We will obtain 1t
nv our unreenng will, by our endurance, by our ten
actv The nation which does not desire to perish and
which does not before suffering or sacrifice is
