Leaflet on Hitler’s assassination attempt July 20, 1944
Question, who put out or printed this leaflet on Hitler’s attempted assassination? I tried to translate it, but I can not tell if it’s Pro-Hitler or Anti-Hitler. One side seems pro and the other seems anti. It was put out the day after the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944.
I found it in a group of letters sent home by an American GI (Major Floyd I. Martin 0-297984, HQ 28th Cav Rcn Sq.)
This is how Google translated it:

Assassination attempt on Hitler:
GENERALE
PROCLAIM
GOVERNMENT PEACE!
Berlin, 21 July: In a radio address by 1 clock in the morning was to Hitler, that yesterday's proclamation of the peace movement by leading German generals came from.
Goering ordered the air force to suppress the movement and declared that it is, "deposed German generals' concerns. (Previously sold by Hitler: Field Marshal von Leeb, List, von Rundstedt, von Bock, von Brauchitsch, General von Falkenhausen and Haider). Goering and Doenitz pages of "Hitler's speech was immediately explained to the old imperial government followers. No such explanation was the OKH.
The government gave peace Wehrmacht commanders in and outside of Germany announced its proclamation and orders. Flight leaves are spread in Germany, which explained that it was irresponsible to the lost war to continue even longer and that the hour has come for action.
Himmler was appointed to replace General Fromm for "Commander of the homeland armies." General Guderian was appointed General Staff of the Army.

IT IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the German Generalist knows best how the utilitarian position is.
2. That the German Generalist has come to the realization that Germany lost the war.
3. That the German Generalist has, therefore, requires that you close your peace.
4. That the German Generalist, was not satisfied as to their desire to act, even had.
5. The fact that in Germany there is now a peace government, against Goering "warned" has.
6. The fact that this peace to the most experienced and best-informed German Government generals belong.
WHAT'S FOR YOU IS:
You know now what the Generalist-known that for weeks Germany has lost the war. The government may peace be depressed or not, this fact arouses nobody.
Every German government must capitulate to make peace. The conditions are laid down for you and your comrades by longstanding military law and the Geneva Convention. The Generalist has acted. Whatever you do yourself, consider what you have now learned.
