Defense of Berlin Rivaled Stalingrad Stand
Their story in aggregate empha~ sized the intensity with which the Germans defended Berlin. -. « It explained how Gen.

to help organize a new German government headed by Goebbels. The Russian answer was abrupt: Nothing but unconditional surrender and no discussion about a new government. Only .Stalingrad had more furious fighting, these Red army men said. Those who had not participated in Stalingrad said the battle of Berlin was the hardest battle they had known. All Berlin seemed on fire at the end of the fighting, The fires burned for days after the surrender.

STARTING. YOUR DAY RIGHT
is part of our job
A cup of steaming fresh. coffee is the breakfast springboard that launches most of us on our day’s activities. It’s one of those small luxuries that Americans have come to depend upon. Your supply of breakfast coffee is as near as theshelves of your local stores. But it travels far to reach those shelves, and the Illinois, Central brings it a good part of the way. ¢ Coffee's long journey begins at Latin-American
_ports ‘in the holds of ships that *steam northward
for many days. At New Orleans, the bags are unloaded at the great Poydras coffee wharf and hauled to the Illinois Central's long coffee shed. There we load 32 freight cars at a time and start them on their way to processors who roast, blend and package coffee. Then we take over again as the coffee travels to your local merchants and to you.
That's why we say—!‘Starting your day right is
“part of our joh."
Delivering foods at low cost is one of many services the American people rely on railroads to perform. After Victory, the Illinois Central looks forward to providing finer transportation, thanks to new materials, improved methods and knowledge gained serving America at war. - :
