Description
This German propaganda leaflet from the Second World War is a sharp example of political and psychological warfare aimed at creating doubt within Allied ranks. With the provocative slogan 'Why die for Stalin?' the leaflet seeks to influence Allied soldiers by stirring distrust toward the Soviet Union and the Allied cooperation. Quotes, rhetorical questions, and anti-Soviet rhetoric are strategically used to promote division, uncertainty, and demotivation.Thanks to its striking red border and clear typography, this leaflet is not only propagandistic but also visually distinctive.A remarkable item for collectors of militaria, front-line propaganda, and Second World War leaflets.Caption:Why die for Stalin ? Who's your most ambitious Ally ? Sowjet-Russia – isn't she ? If Jerry, the best soldier in the world, would'nt stop the Bolshies, do you think you could even if you'd have to one day !? Listen, what one of your folks, Mr. John Amery, son of the Secretary for India, the Rt. Honourable Leopold Stennett Amery, – who spent the passed years in a neutral country recently declared in a broadcast for Britain : 'Our alliance with the Sowjets is an alliance with the people whose leader Stalin dreams of nothing but the destruction of the heritage of our fathers ! Morally this is a stain on our honour, practically it can only lead sooner or later to disaster and communism in Britain herself. …..' So what's the use to quarrel and fight with neighbours if the Big – Red – Wolf is after all grabbing the pie !?Article number: 17265
