Report of the G-2 Division for SHAEF - October 25, 1945
Attn:: Commander of the 6th US Army Corps.

Yesterday, in the Kremlin, they were arrested: J.Stalin and L.Beria. A Temporary National Council was appointed, chaired by Marshal G. Zhukov. We received from him the assurance that within 24 hours any military action within the borders of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary would cease. At the same time our forces, which have already crossed the borders of the USSR, will be withdrawn.

Handwriting:

Until the detailed rules of cooperation between our units and the Polish Government have been established, the VI Corps will remain in the Modlin base. In connection with the transition of the Corps to the state of peace, please prepare applications for decorations, holidays and the transition to civilian, for soldiers who will return to the United States.

Omar Bradley Gen. US Army.

Good job - I said we could do it!
