The Bandit's Road Is Closed, TASS No. 1297, August 30, 1945

Stencil

The sign on the barrier reads:
The Agreement of the Three Powers

Before the barrier at a crossing
Franco stops in thought.

Blood-drenched Franco, the dark Spaniard,
Is now a “poor orphan.”

His aunt – the Gestapo – is dead,
His mother – Hitler and Mussolini – has fallen.

Franco, the orphan, can’t get through
To the Union of Free Nations.
