Der 10. Tag im Streik, ich habe den 5. Tag Urlaub, komme aber nirgends hin weil nichts faehrt. Ich habe aber Durchhaltewillen! “Ihr Völker der Welt, schaut auf diese Stadt!” Was der Sowjetunion, die die Berliner niederringen und als Geisel nehmen wollte, nicht gelungen ist mit ihrer Blockade, wird Verdi mit dem Streik nicht schaffen!
