[Cz-L] Turks !

One early morning in 1946 , we heard tank rumble down the Russischegasse.
  In minutes we were there to find out the facts.
   An endless column of T-34 tanks was coming from Horecea, crossing the
  rail bridge and then,doing a left turn, into the Neueweltgasse .
  This left turn soon uprooted the pavement and soon a hillock
  of cobble stones formed at the intersection.
    Curious people started asking questions.
    The soldiers in the tanks when asked what was going on said:
      "Turtzya " that is Turkey in Russian.
     This was picked up by by-standers and brought into town where the IPA
   (Yiddshe Plotke Agentur ) picked up the information and distributed it
     through the streets. From mouth to ear the news went:
    " The Russian are attacking Turkey".
        " Because of the Dardanelles !" commented Yossel from the first
        floor.
      "All was fixed at Yalta with Churchill " added Schloyme who knew
better.
    The next day all was over.
     The cobble stones at the Neueweltgasse remained uprooted
    for a long time.
     As a reminder of the Turkish war.
