PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS DROPPED ON AMERICAN TROOPS BY
GERMAN PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE UNITS DURING WW2
USMBOOKS.com has four pages of rare, original Nazi
propaganda in ENGLISH for sale.
This is page 4.
Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS Propagandakompanie (Public Relations Companies) were the equivalent of American War Correspondents, taking photographs and reporting on the activities of troops in war zones and rear echelon areas. They had nothing to do with propaganda in the American sense of the word and they were not responsible for these propaganda leaflets.

What Americans think of as propaganda was the business of German Psychological Warfare Units, and that was not an armed forces or Wehrmacht function in Nazi Germany. It was a far more serious matter. The thrust of the propaganda contained in the leaflets aimed at American fighting men was to take him out of combat - get him to surrender, defect, or end up in a hospital, so he wasn’t fighting Germans.

The German used delivery systems similar to those used by the Americans. Propaganda leaflets were rolled up in artillery shells and exploded over American positions, they were dropped by aircraft, and they were simply left where Americans would find them. The Nazi Psychological Warfare propaganda leaflets we offer here are ORIGINALS and were picked up on battlefields in Europe during World War II by American GIs. All are very rare today.

AMERICAN PROPAGANDA
LEAFLETS
While the leaflets on this web page are in German, they were not printed in Germany. They are American propaganda leaflets printed in Europe to induce German Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS soldiers to give up the fight and surrender.
Nazi Party newspaper
VÖLKISCHER BEOBACHTER 1944
8-3/8 x 10-3/8 inch, two-sided
The front of this rare leaflet is a reproduction of the Nazi Party newspaper Völkischer Beobachter dated Berlin, 10 October 1941 which showed Russian forces falling back everywhere at the apex of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The back side by contrast is dated 15 July 1944 and quotes Nazi Generalleutnant Kurt Dittmar speaking for the OKW on the radio about the Russian forces closing in on Königsberg in East Prussia. Among the most effective of Allied propaganda leaflets. **SOLD**.

FRONT POST NEWSPAPER
FOR GERMAN SOLDIERS
9-3/4 x 14 inch, two-sided
This is the rare premier edition of FRONTPOST - a Newspaper for German Soldiers Published by the American Troops in France. Dated 14 August 1944, the front page shows a map of the American front outside of Chartres and Chateaudun about to close in on Paris.
Note the German headline that translates “100,000 [German] Prisoners in France - the Great Parade of the Paratroopers”. Other news explains that German troops were driven out of Florence, Italy, 500 German U-boats had been lost and that all Gestapo prisoners on the Greek island of Lesbos had been freed and all the German garrison killed. The news on the back side is only worse for any German soldier and is highlighted by quotations attributed to Dr. Goebbels that virtually everything is forbidden back in Germany. This example has a handwritten GI note at the top saying “Allied propaganda to the Germans”. Very good condition with minor tears to the edges. **SOLD**
