Allied propaganda newspaper dropped from planes... Three days after D-Day...



Item # 705457

June 09, 1944

NACHRICHTEN FUR DIE TRUPPE, Europe, June 9, 1944  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 just after D-Day. The headline translates: "Tank Battle Behind the Atlantic Wall" and "New Reinforcements Landed Tonight" with a ftpg. photo of Allied troops arriving on the beaches on the coast of France.
Measures 9 by 13 inches, great condition. All in the German language, and an uncommon bit of aerial propaganda.
