Dear Comrade General,

On behalf of all employees of the State Committee for Radio Broadcasting, we send you personally and the servicemen of the Soviet Armed Forces our most cordial congratulations on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the glorious Soviet Army.

The staff of our radio feels bound by sincere affection and gratitude to the Soviet comrades who 18 years ago brought us liberation from the fascist yoke and who, under the leadership of the Communist Party, have always stood by our side in building a new life.

We especially feel connected with the servicemen of the Soviet Armed Forces in Germany, who selflessly and selflessly help protect the borders of our German Democratic Republic and build socialism in our country.

As employees of the Broadcasting Committee, we will always give all our love and all our strength to help strengthen friendship between peoples while building socialism and protecting peace.

The party leadership of the SED (SPD)
