Evening star., 1942-11-07
Soviet State and the freedom and

independence of our motherland.
Our Soviet people have come
through with honor from the trials
which have fallen to their lot and
are filled with unshakable faith in
victory.
The war has been stern test of
strength and stability of the Soviet
/ system The calculations of Ger
man imperialists that the Soviet
state would disintegrate have been
completely overthrown.
In its Socialist industry, collective
farming system, friendship of peo-
| Piles of our country, the Soviet state
has shown its stability and invinci-
bility.
Workers and peasants, all the in
telligensia, our whole rear are hon.
estly and self-sacrif1cingly working
to satisfy the requirements OF our
fronts
Self Sacrificing Struggle.
The Red Army is carrying the full
weight Of the war against Hitlerite
Germany and its accomplices.
BY its self-sacrificing struggle
against the Fascist Army it has won
the love and respect of all freedom
loving peoples of the world.
Men and commanders of the Red
! Army who had not previously had
enough military experience learned
! to smite the enemy for sure to
destroy his manpower and equip
ment, to discover enemy plans and
to defend steadfastly our towns and
villages from the foreign enslavers.
The heroic defenders of Moscow,
Tula, Odessa, Sevastopol, Lenin-
grad and Stalingrad have displayed
examples OF supreme courage.
The whole Of our Red Aamy fol-
lows in the footsteps of these heroes.
The enemy has, already felt on
his skin the ability of the Red Army
to resist, He will know still more
the force of the devastating blows
of Red Army.
There can be no doubt that the
German invaders will again hurl
themselves into new adventures.
But the forces of the enemy have
already been blunted and have been
stretched to limit.
During the course of the war the
Red Army has put out of action over
100000 enemy officers and men.
Nazi Army Weaker.
Now the Hitlerite army watered
down with Rumanians, Hungarians,
Italians and Firms, has become con-
siderably weaker than in the sum-
mer and autumn of 1941.
Comrades, Red Army men and
commanders, political workers, men
and women guerrillas. On your
stubbornness and steadfastness, on
your fighting ability and readiness
to perform your duty to the mother
land depends the defeat of the Ger
man Fascist army and the clearing
of the Hitlerite invaders out of
Soviet soil.
We can and must clear the Hit
lerite filth from our Soviet soil. To
do this it is essential:
/. Steadfastly and stubbornly to
defend the line of our front, not to
allow the enemy to advance further,
to strain all efforts to wear down
the enemy, to exterminate his man
power and to destroy his equipment.
2. To strengthen to the maximum
the iron discipline, strict order and
singleness of command in our army,
to perfect the military training of
troops, stubbornly and persistently
to prepare devastating blows against
the enemy.
3. To fan the flames of the pop
ular guerrilla movement in the rear
of the enemy. to devastate enemy
rear and to exterminate the Ger
man Fascist scoundrel.
New Blows Forecast.
Comrades, the enemy has already
once experienced the force of blows
of the Red Army before Rostov, be-
fore Moscow, before Tikhvin. The
day is not far off when the enemy
will feel the force of new blows
OF the Red Army.
There will be holiday in our
streets.
Long live the 25th anniversary Of
the great socialist october revo-
luton.
Long live our Red Army.
Long live our Navy.
Long live our gallant men and
women guerrilas.
! Death to German Fascist invaders.
