I have no wish to conceal much hard fighting and hard marching lies before us. . We are a long way yet to the end and Japan is still strong and aggressive. but we hold the initiative.. and the end is short .already, more and better inter and US entertainment are on their way. more movie projectors and films will arrive and more and better cigarettes will be available. and last but not least - beer. we were never really the forgotten front. although it seemed a bit so. but from now we can assure you that we we shall be more and more so in the thoughts of those at home who realise fully what we are doing and what we are achieving.
