The leaflet opposite was of
Russian origin and was intended for the Germans. It translates as
follows:
"If you cross over to the side of the Allies then you will be treated well and with friendship. You will eat well, as well as an Allied soldier. Remember that the Allies are your friends and do not believe what the Germans say - they are lying. Come to us willingly or be taken prisoner in this battle - you will be welcomed kindly and well. Only let our soldiers know you are surrendering. Put up your hands when you come to us. Take off your helmets. Preserve this leaflet. Show it to the Allied soldiers when you surrender. |
