The eminent guests were accompanied by SED Politburo member Werner Lamberz, State Security Minister Erich Mielke, Deputy Defense Minister Col. Gen. Heinz Kessler, and other leading officials of the GDR. The first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party Central Committee, Premier Fidel Castro, wrote the following lines in the guest book of the city commandant of the GDR capital: "One can take note here of the extraordinary difficulties created by imperialism around and in the heart of the GDR. Yet one also notices the outstanding merits of the revolutionary people of this country in the overcoming of these difficulties which were of a dimension hard to imagine. Nearby one can notice the relics of the former symbols of fascism, reaction, and imperialism, the defenders and ideological successors of which are endeavoring in vain to revive them." The entry continues: "It is also clearly evident that the GDR will still have to wage a hard struggle in its defense against provocations and subversive actions of imperialism, against propaganda and dastardly lies which are spread all the time. Yet there is no doubt that it will emerge victorious form this struggle and that no one and nothing will be able to prevent the new generations now raised here and the people form having a creative and peaceful future. "The new generation, as I said, is being raised in the spirit of the glorious and invincible ideas of solidarity and internationalism. Our fraternal and cordial greetings are extended to the brave and selfless border troops of the GDR's National People's Army, standing guard here in the first line of defense of their fatherland and the whole socialist community." -END-
