Actually, the Iron Curtain was of tremendous strategic just. propaganda prints of the significance for the Russians even before as well as during

World War IL tll Hungarian general-who!. fought in the Russian cam-

difficulties the German general |® staff had to overcome when, dur ing the invasion of Russia, they, discovered that all the maps and charts they used, were completaly false. Maps indicated cities where there was nothing but wilderness, | and in areas marked on. charts as waste land, the advancing Ger-! man army came upon extensive industrial plants. The Iron Cur tain was so effective before the war, that not even .the highly trained agents of the German! Army Intelligence were able to get reliable geographic and Industrial Information. ” » AFTER ™E WAR, the Soviet authorities faced a serious prob-| lem when demobilizing those millions of soldiers who for the fist yond the Soviet borders. Those soldiers who saw the higher, standard of living of the German, Austrian, Czechoslovakian and Hungarian populations, were considered the greatest danger for the internal security of the Soviet! Union. For they could compare the situation of workers living under “capitalist slavery” with those In the “Soviet paradise.” An epigram was coined in Europe about this Russian problem: “Stalin has committed two grave errors. He has shown the Russians to Europe, and he has shown Europe to the Russians.”

slans against this danger were drastic as well as skillful. Special commissions of the Secret Police met the returning troops. First,| jewels, clothing and other articles) which they had “liberated” from the unhappy citizens of Vienna, Budapest and Berlin, were taken | from them, (These articles were, sold later in the governmentowned commissary shops through-| out the Saviet Union).

When 1 wis in the Soviet Union, I saw the enormous difficulties, | technical as well as psychological, | whlch hamper the effectiveness of | the Voice of America in Russia, | Besides the the greatest obstacle is the rela-| tively small number of privately| {owned radio sets which can pick] up foreign stations, According to—a— reliable estimite, I obtained during my long stay in the Boviet Union, the number of those individual sets is slightly less than 2 milllon-—in a country of about 200 million population. Most Russians eape- « cially in the more remote districts, hear radio only through public loud speakers installed on | | streets, in clubs, former churches, | schools, restaurants or collective] farms, Even in the cities, there is gen-| erally one radio set to each big ¢ apartment house, and It is con-; trolled by the political commissar | of the housing unit.
