YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED ! - Second World War German airborne Propaganda leaflet. Small-scale leaflet, front reads "YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED! You have landed on the Continent to face the armed might of Germany - but not for the benefit of Britain! Your country will gain ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from this struggle, no matter how well you may fight. THE BOLSHEVISTS ALONE WILL PROFIT by your sacrifices. You have been trapped into risking your life for but one purpose - the Bolshevization of Europe! Consider these points, and ask yourself WHY SHOULD YOU FIGHT FOR STALIN!" reverse reads "INVASION - WHY? - Have you any clear idea of the purpose of the attempted invasion of Western Europe? One thing is certain - the Allied casualties are and will continue to be enormous, although the amount of territory captured will be small. The only strategic effect that the invasion could have would be to lessen the resistance of the Germans in the East. If this plan succeeded, Bolshevism would triumph over Europe - and TRIUMPTH OVER BRITAIN AS WELL!" Numbered E114 / 3.44/ 11cm x 15cm.
