Soldiers, Sailors and Airpeople of the Allied Relief Force!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You are about to embark upon the Great Shout-Out At Hitler, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world – even those very, very many parts of the world whom we have aggrieved in the past –\u00a0 are upon you. The hopes and prayers of security-loving people everywhere march, walk, and roll in their wheelchairs alongside you.
\nIn company with our brave Allies and brothers-and-sisters-in-arms on
\nother Fronts, you will bring about the prevention of the German human-caused-disaster machine from conquering any more territory until further communityorganization can take full effect, as well as, the bringing to justice in a court of law of the Nazi tyrants, who were the responsibility of the previous administration anyway, over the oppressed and, it needs to be said, at times oppressive peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a world with adequate social spending.<\/p>\n

Your task will not be an easy one. Your opponents are is well trained,
\nwell equipped and man-made-disaster hardened. He will fight savagely.
\nThey are, indeed, haters.<\/p>\n

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great setbacks in negotiations to preclude further man-made disasters. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity\u00a0 to wage war on the ground, while erroneous collateral damage is being paid for out of an international trust fund. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in money and political will, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained lawyers and organizers, as well as all of you alternate-resolution specialists. The tide has turned! The free men and women of the world are marching together to send a message to Mister Hitler; stop advancing!<\/p>\n

I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in dealing with this epic man-made disaster. We will accept nothing less than sending a very serious message!<\/p>\n

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Me upon this great
\nand noble undertaking.<\/p>\n
