SOVIET ORDER FOR THE SURRENDER OF GERMAN TROOPS
Great broadside issued by Soviet Commander-in-Chief of the 4th Ukrainian Front Andrey Yeryomenko, 1p. 8vo., published May 8, 1945, an forceful appeal to German troops to lay down their arms after the surrender of the German High Command. In part: 'On May 1, 1945, the High Command of the German Wehrmacht signed the unconditional military surrender of all German troops...soldiers, officers and generals must cease all acts of war...I warn: if [you] do not comply with my demand to stop the war...I will issue the order to remove all remnants of the German troops facing my troops, and to destroy [you]...' Lightly toned, else fine.
