In the Dens of Madrid, TASS No. 1283, August 14, 1945

Stencil
1644 x 857 mm
Safely hidden in Franco’s cellar,
In the Madrid den of deceit and lies,
Fleeing from justice, the Gauleiters, Führers,
Thieves and bandits gather to do business.
They sharpen knives covered in blood.
The Spanish boss of the Fascist “hideout”
Says with a smile to his German guests:
“Regretfully we no longer have Berlin.
But, thank God, we have Madrid!”
