Original WWII German propaganda leaflet 'Das war ein traum'

This Allied propaganda leaflet from the Second World War, titled 'Das war ein Traum' ('That was a dream'), is an illustrative example of psychological warfare aimed at demoralising German troops and encouraging surrender. The front side shows a German soldier daydreaming about a better life, followed by confronting text that emphasises the harsh reality of the front lines and the futility of continued fighting. On the reverse side, clear instructions are provided for a safe and honourable surrender to Allied forces, including an English-language notice intended for Allied soldiers.Through its combination of cartoon-style illustration, direct messaging, and practical guidance, this leaflet forms a vivid and rare document from the Allied propaganda efforts. An interesting addition for collectors of militaria, wartime propaganda, and Second World War documents.Article number: 17266
