Allied propaganda newspaper dropped from planes...



Item # 698846

May 29, 1944

NACHRICHTEN FUR DIE TRUPPE, Europe, May 29, 1944  

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


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. Notice this dates about a week before D-Day. The headline translates: "Half of Germany Had an Air Warning".
Measures 9 by 13 inches, very nice condition, totally in the German language, and an uncommon bit of aerial propaganda.
