Allied propaganda newspaper dropped from planes...



Item # 716338

May 24, 1944

NACHRICHTEN FUR DIE TRUPPE, Europe, May 24, 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 from just weeks before the D-Day invasion.
This newspaper/leaflet was created to counter Goebbels' propaganda machine. Notice this dates shortly after D-Day. The headline translates to: "The Allies Arrive in the Nettuno Landing Head".
Measures 9 by 13 inches, minor chip to the right blank margin, very good condition. Totally in German and an uncommon bit of aerial propaganda.
