This leaflet appears to be a Soviet produced leaflet dropped on German forces in Yugoslavia. At least, that is what I can decypher from the few words I can pick up. The leaflet talks about German troops killed near Sinjawino and lists soldiers from the 170 I.D., the 11, I.D. and the 58 I.D. It also quotes a Frau Donges, whose husband was Karl Donges, an obergefreiter in I.R. 355.

The back side of the leaflet has lists of individual soldiers killed from the 355th and 367th Grenadier Regiments.
At the very bottom of the leaflet is a sentence in Cyrillic that says this leaflet was made by the Red Army.
Again, any discussion, valuations etc. would be appreciated.

Certainly looks like a good one...I have seen several similar ones...how large is it? Because it was produced to be dropped onto specific units, that will make it very collectable to specialist collectors for those units...best place to sell it would be ebay.com and you have to make sure to state the units that it was intended for...good luck.

Torsten,
Thanks for the reply. The leaflet is approximately 5 1/2" by 8" or about the size of a half sheet of typing paper. The paper is really not very good quality with heavy pulp. I have no doubt about the authenticity, was just hoping that someone here might be interested in the unit or the fact that it was propaganda.
I will probably follow your advice and ePay it.
Allan

Particularly www.psywar.org/leaflets.php where I have a database of propaganda leaflets from WWI to Iraqi Freedom. Most of the WWII leaflets shown were produced by the Allies for German troops and civilians.
Here you will find leaflets dropped on Allied troops by Germany:
