# "Siemens-Plania grüßt die Vorhut der internat. Arbeiterklasse": factory delegation at the Soviet memorial, Treptow

Workers carry a banner reading 'Siemens-Plania grüßt die Vorhut der internat. Arbeiterklasse im Kampf für d. Frieden!' on the way to lay wreaths at the Soviet war memorial. The vanguard and peace wording flatters the viewer's side in broad terms, and the memorial setting attaches the memory of the Soviet army's dead to the congress.
