RE: 1405/sh
First. Regarding the question of the
evacuation of Soviet specialists and their
families, as well as personnel of Soviet orga-
the complete takeover of all of Korea, and its
conversion into its military-strategic spring-
board for further aggression in the Far East.
In my opinion, the struggle of our people
for its independence, freedom and state sov-
ereignty will be protracted and very hard.
For a successful struggle against a strong
enemy armed with the latest achievements
of military science and technology we will
have to train pilots, tankists, radio operators,
and engineering officers urgently.
It is very difficult to train them inside
our country. Therefore, we turn to You,
comrade STALIN, with the following re-
quest:
1. To permit the training of 200-300
pilots from among Korean students studying
in the Soviet Union.
2. To permit the training of 1,000
tankists, 2,000 pilots, 500 radio operators,
and 500 engineering officers from among
Soviet Koreans residing in the Soviet Union.
I ask You, comrade STALIN, to render
us assistance in this regard.
Respectfully, KIM IL SUNG”
I support KIM IL SUNG’S request.
