American Propaganda Leaflet

This is an example of one of the many different propaganda leaflets produced by the US military to drop via aircraft over German military positions in the field as part of their psychological warfare campaign. The leaflets often had messages criticizing the Nazi government and Hitler, headlines discussing American victories, and offering free passage and fair treatment to any soldiers who surrendered to the allies. This particular example is encoded "USG-26" and it is referring to the Second World War as "Hitler's War" in hopes of alienating the German people from Hitler and the Nazi regime. This example also discusses the immense damage Hitler and "his war" has caused Germany and that the only way to save Germany and it's people is through peace. This example is unfortunately missing a large section of the pamphlet in the top right corner and was folded in half at one point. This example was acquired from a Facebook Marketplace listing in 2022.

Only By Peace Can Germany Still be Saved!
