Vincennes Posted May 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2019 Over the weekend I bought 2 3 ring binders assembled by Monte Bankhead [38325696] a Tec 4 Sgt in the 250th Field Artillery Battalion during WW2, These were apparently assembled for a reunion of the unit and contain the History of the unit during WW2, many photos of the men at reunions, and original WW2 photos of Monte during the war with somw documentary papers. Included in the material was these two propaganda leaflets. The first leaflet (ZG 76) has a note written on the bottom saying "Leaflets which were shot to the Germans in Artillery sheells." There are several varieties of this safe conduct leaflet but this is the one in 3 languages, German, French, and English. So the Germans could surrender to either French or English/American forces.

Vincennes Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted May 20, 2019 Here is the reverse. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincennes Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted May 20, 2019 The other leaflet is ZG 40 and I have NOT found a translation of it on the web. So I do not know what it says or what it was used for. It is titled "In the West" on the PsyWar web page. That is a translation of the Bold first line. My copy has apparently had the borders trimmed.

dhcoleterracina Posted May 20, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 20, 2019 I've always found these leaflets used by both sides to be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
