Hi!
I have one of these leaflets to.
I believe they were dropped by air over German Army positions in Europe, in an effort to persuade soldiers to surrender without a fight.
They were produced in very high numbers, and are quite common - but they are attractive and interesting items; at least in my opinion!
Often wonder if many German soldiers actually used these "passes" in a bid to surrender?
A thread on these propaganda leaflets would also be of great interest to me also.
Best regards.
