Tannenberg, TASS No. 1161, February 9, 1945

Stencil
1815 x 870 mm
In 1410, in the historic battle of Tannenberg (East Prussia), the combined forces of the Slavs defeated the hordes of German knights.

Let us recall the great battle with pride.
The glory of our ancient ancestors is with us forever!
The brave Slavs beat the Teutonic knights
In Tannenberg many centuries ago.

Neither then nor now
Has Russian and Polish blood been shed in vain
The Soviet Army has once more,
Struck the Germans at Tannenberg with a thunderous blow.
