Air War: Today by day targets were attacked in Silesia, in the area of Vienna and in West-Unfortunately by American planes. Gen. Ludvik Svoboda, who crossed the borders of the Republic, gave an interview to our special judge in Russia in which he gave the feeling of the, čsl. soldiers on this deserving day Ausdruek, "It is above all an inexpressible joy. For at last came the day that we had longed so hard for for five years and for which we worked tirelessly and struggled. We are happy that we did not wait until the others freed us, but fulfilled our task. I am convinced that every soldier under my command feels the same as I do. We were never as close to each other as we are today. We are deeply grateful to our powerful Soviet ally for everything he has done for us! We say goodbye to him, but not forever. The borders that have been cleansed by the enemy in the common struggle, and where the blood of the best sons of the Soviet Union and the ČsR has flowed, these borders do not separate us, but connect them. The Red Army is fighting not only for its country, but also for us and all the oppressed peoples of Europe, and it is fighting for us today as well as for us.
