NACHRICHTEN FUR DIE TRUPPE, Europe, May 5, 1945
* Rare allied issue dropped from aircraft
* Germany surrendering throughout Europe
A most fascinating single sheet newspaper, which translates to "News For The Troops", published by the Psychological Warfare Division of the Allied forces and dropped by Allied aircraft over Germany during the closing year of the war. This newspaper/leaflet was created to counter Goebbels' propaganda machine.
This is perhaps the best issue of this title to have, as it reports the surrender of German forces. The headline translates to: "ENDING !" "German Armies in Holland, Denmark and In Germany Surrender Unconditionally".
The back page has a banner headline: "How Admiral Friedeburg Capitulated" with related articles and several photos on the closing days of Nazi Germany,
Complete as a single sheet issue, 12 1/4 by 16 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
