Our Red Army Ally - War Department Pamphlet No. 21-30 1944

booklet is to introduce you to the Red Army soldier—the everyday “G.I.”

of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. You have heard and read a lot

about him, now you are seeing and meeting him personally. He is your friend.

He is your ally. He has fought hard in this war, just as you have, to bring

about a United Nations victory. The meeting of troops of the United States

Army and of the Red Army is an historical occasion. It is the first time in

history that so many citizens of the United States have met face-to-face with

so many citizens of the USSR.
