* REJECTED - A propaganda pamphlet mocking Franklin Roosevelt (President of the United States during the war). On the title page is a cartoon of Roosevelt, On the inside pages there is a story that Roosevelt himself allegedly tells in which he describes how he controls and abuses the American people for the sake of his personal interests. A propaganda pamphlet created and distributed by the Nazi propaganda company PK698 from the 15th Division of the German Wehrmacht. In 1944-1945 this company was located in the Düsseldorf area and from there distributed propaganda materials against the Americans in the language and manner in which the American propagandists themselves used against Hitler and the Nazi regime. [4] pages. Tiny tear in title page. Tears repaired by paper gluing. Good condition.

* A two-sided propaganda proclamation which was used to intimidate the American soldiers towards the end of the war, and was deliberately printed in the same exterior style as the proclamations the Americans themselves distributed against Wehrmacht soldiers, with the aim that any soldier who found it on the ground would raise him curiously. In front, is a quote in German and English under the heading: SAFE CONDUCT from the Allied Commander-in-Chief in which he says that the German soldier is ready to be captured, and never to return home to his wife and children. At the bottom of the page was printed: "PLEASE TURN OVER" - On the other side of the page under the heading 'Our dear friends' provoking the provocations of the Allied soldiers, announcing that "it should be clear to you that the ideals for which 90 million Germans fought for "like lions" (as Churchill defined it) for more than five years, they can not be so rotten, that we can be tempted to surrender through pork and eggs", and sign that "we remain as before with Heil Hitler!". The proclamation was distributed towards the end of the war, at a time when the Germans already knew that their defeat was imminent, and it was intended to inflict on the Allied soldiers that the Germans were still ready to fight to the last drop of their blood. The design of the proclamation is an exact imitation of an American propaganda proclamation W.G. 21.Size: 21x13 cm. Good condition.
