add to cart   close window

Red Front Fighters come to Berlin once a year to celebrate the future. They are an organization of over 200,000 men, 30,000 women, and some 50,000 youth. Although the leadership is Communist, only one-third of the members belong to the Party. Their fourth national gathering has just ended. They meet each year during the Whitsuntide holidays, and on Whitsunday is the great demonstration. This year 100,000 uniformed men and a few thousand women marched, followed by as many more non-uniformed Communist Party members. Seventy-five thousand came from outside Berlin, walking, riding bicycles, traveling in trucks or fourth-class railway carriages.
