On a Reconnaissance Mission, TASS No. 0844, October 23, 1943

Stencil
1822 x 855 mm
A scout’s step is never heard,
Our vision is sharp.
Our task is to carry out orders
Precisely and boldly,
Quickly, skillfully and honestly.

Here’s a German sentry.
We take him neatly.
From our reconnaissance mission
We will return with a "tongue" [i.e., a prisoner for interrogation].
