On Berlin's "Avenue of Victories", TASS No. 1236, May 12, 1945

Stencil
1655 x 860 mm
Berlin raised its hands and shouted “Kaput!”
Our tanks advance along the “Avenue of Victories”:
Frederick is frightened and Bismarck trembles,
And Hitler's shadow flees without a backward glance.
And even the name “Avenue of Victories” has apparently
Changed to the “Avenue of Kaput!”
