NACHRICHTEN FUR DIE TRUPPE, Europe, May 20, 1944 

* Rare allied issue dropped from aircraft
* Occupied France World war II - WWII


A most fascinating single sheet newspaper printed front & back, which translates to "News For The Troops", published by the Psychological Warfare Division of the Allied forces and dropped by Allied aircraft over Germany from just weeks before the D-Day invasion.
This newspaper/leaflet was created to counter Goebbels' propaganda machine. Notice this dates shortly before D-Day. The headline translates to: "Again Too Few Hunters" 2000 Fighter Planes Bomb Berlin and Brunswick Twice A Day".
Measures 9 by 13 inches, very nice condition. Totally in German and an uncommon bit of aerial propaganda.
