Where Everybody Fights
'Hitler said in "Mein •Kampf".
thet •the bandit was the only fac-
tor that could render a• mechan•
-
ized army. impotent. In Russia
every soldier is trained ,in - guer-
illa warfare, and every Commun-
iht man= or woman, is trained in
the "art" of sabotage. The "whole
Russian nation has had a, certain
'amount of military 'training and:
at least a quarter of the ,popul•a-
tion l.now how to• handle fireartbs.
Throughout the last, twenty years
life has been. . organized around
the idea of meeting the threat of
•war, and the -role of eaqh individ-
ual planned for defense. Every
industrial plant .has an an•ined
defense force and its secret muni•- •
tions depot to .be used if there•
is need to sabotage, the plant.
The attitude of the ordinary work-
er in Russia is that the . welfare
of the Fatherland 'depends ' on
hint •and • him alone. War has
.strengthened -this_ attitude, so that•
now any Russian may be counted .
upon at the proper time to risk
all he bas, even •his life. These
are the people who are prepared
