This is a machine to help Germans remember t works very simply. An American steps before it and calmly eads a script in German. Powerful short-wave transmitters leam the words to Axis Europe. That's all there is to it. Yet to the Fascist dictators, this simple process is a thorn a their sides, a threat to their power, a danger to the uccess of their bloody schemes. Why? Because these American short-wave broadcasts are iften devoted to waking up German memories — on a subject Der Fuehrer would prefer to be forgotten. That subject is: Vhat Anierica's might and manpower will mean to he cause of the United Nations. Hitler wants the Germans to forget what happened in the ast war when America swung in its full strength. He wants hem to forget the boatloads of ammunition, the fleets of oldier-packed transports, the food and the weapons. He wants them to forget the Yanks ever came, because mem- ories like that are not good for Fascist morale. That's why American short-wave stations WRCA and WNBI are so busy nowadays giving a memory course to the German people. RCA is proud that its equipment, used by these stations, can help remind Axis-dominated Europe that America is again on the march, that America's factories are rolling out the tanks and the planes and the guns, that America's shipyards are sending out an ar- mada of transports and freighters and battle- ships, that America's manpower is moving . . . moving fast . . . moving with all its might. Yes, you Fascists who fight for Hitler, this is something to remember; the Yanks are coming— again! FqP»VICTORY WAR BONDS RCA BROADCAST EQUIPMENT
