The title track is placed as the last title on page 1. It deals with the fear of nuclear war and its consequences for the population of the earth. Influenced by the current zeitgeist (tightening of the Cold War, a boycott of the Olympic Games in Moscow by many Western countries, further increase of the arms race s between the Soviet Union and the United States succeeds) to them with this title an impressive warning against escalation. Anthemic sounds like the song, with the support of the FDJ from the Choir School of East Berlin.
