  • Stobsiade Military, Issue No. 26 (40)

    The final edition of the Military Stobsiade has the following quote “We do not intend to publish the newspaper any more, not because we believe that we would soon be able to return home; we know just as little as other comrades about that. On the other hand, it is conceivable that during the final months in Stobs changes could occur which would interfere with our work and might especially compromise the publication of a proper final edition. Should our return home unexpectedly take far longer, then we would publish a supplementary edition.”
