Notes

The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

ORIGINAL CAPTION:
Tower of Truth - one of many Radio Free Europe antennas engaged in piercing the Iron Curtain with powerful broadcasts - is in use night and day carrying the voices of anti-communist refugees back to their homelands.
