Romanian Rats, TASS No. 0933, March 20, 1944

Stencil
1500 x 1198 mm
The echo of fearsome shelling
And the day of reckoning is near!
The rats have left their places,
And escape from Bucharest.
The restaurants have emptied out.
The rats are all wildly alarmed.
All the plans for Great Romania
Have flown away.
“Don’t you think this plan is nonsense?”
“I don’t know, but beggars can’t be choosers!”
“The Russians are beating the Germans – have you heard?”
“They’re being beaten everywhere, from tail to mane!”
