An issue of the "East Sweden Tidings", a monthly church newsletter, reporting the names and locations of 19 East Sweden area servicemen; describing area V-E Day services; commentating on food shortages while also reporting that more than 1200 disobedient prisoners of war have been placed on bread and water for more than a week and "are put to work gardening to raise their own food in part"; providing a local calendar of events; and characterizing the Germans as self-styled "godless supermen" who forgot that the nations they attacked would "rise with vehemence in defense of their righteous principles" as should all Christians striving to have a "VS Day" (Victory in the Soul.)
