Summary
A leaflet meant to be dropped onto a German city, this is an example of psychological warfare on the part of the 8th Air Force. Translation:
- At the top
- On February 18, 1943, a few weeks after the catastrophe of Stalingrad, Dr. Goebbels, to a mass meeting in the Berlin Sportpalast, put the question:
- Large print
- “DO YOU WANT TOTAL WAR?”
- On the right
- An enthusiastic “Yes” was the answer of the Nazi-Meeting. Today Germany knows what “total war” means, better than Goebbels and his yes-shouters foresaw. The total war, wanted by the Nazis, will be continued with ever increasing weight and effectiveness, until Germany capitulates unconditionally.
- Beneath the picture
- THE GERMAN PEOPLE MUST CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES:
EITHER continuation of the total Nazi-war until final destruction of German man-power and industry — OR: <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:8th_Air_Force_psychological_warfare_leaflet_text.jpg" title="File:8th Air Force psychological warfare leaflet text.jpg">see back</a>
