Description
WWII United States Propaganda Leaflet dropped on German troopers urging them to surrender. German anti-Hitler leaflet, which shows Hitler standing, smiling, while German soldiers lay frozen on the ground in snow and reads, Ich Fule mich so frisch. Es kommt der Fruhling, (I feel so fresh. Spring is coming). This ironic quote refers to the invasion of Poland and Hitlers oblivious attitude concerning German casualties, where soldiers were listed as, missing, instead of dead to bolster survival numbers. Page 1 shows Hitler standing amongst scores of dead German soldiers but smilingly looking forward to Spring on the Eastern Front. Page 2 is a excerpt from a German Army document describing the 4 month delay in registering casualties and a paragraph commenting that Hitler's published figures had excluded many deaths. Approximate size is 5.25 x 8.25. Good condition for its age.
