Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS Propagandakompanie (Public Relations Companies) were the equivalent of American War Correspondents, taking photographs and reporting on the activities of troops in war zones and rear echelon areas. They had nothing to do with propaganda in the American sense of the word and they were not responsible for these propaganda leaflets.
What Americans think of as propaganda was the business of German Psychological Warfare Units, and that was not an armed forces or Wehrmacht function in Nazi Germany. It was a far more serious matter. The thrust of the propaganda contained in the leaflets aimed at American fighting men was to take him out of combat - get him to surrender, defect, or end up in a hospital, so he wasn’t fighting Germans.
The German used delivery systems similar to those used by the Americans. Propaganda leaflets were rolled up in artillery shells and exploded over American positions, they were dropped by aircraft, and they were simply left where Americans would find them. The Nazi Psychological Warfare propaganda leaflets we offer here are ORIGINALS and were picked up on battlefields in Europe during World War II by American GIs. All are very rare today.

PLEASE HELP BRING
MY DADDY HOME
|
5-3/4 x 8-3/16 inch, two-sided
|
This is a simple but extremely effective piece with a black & white front showing a pretty, big-eyed girl of four or so, above a handwritten caption in English saying “Please help bring my Daddy home”. On the back side in red letters it simply says “The dead never return. The P.O.W’.s do.”
Small portion of the lower left corner is ripped off, folded twice. **SOLD**
A GRAVE IN
EUROPE ...
|
5-5/8 x 7-1/2 inch (folds to 3-3/4
x 5-5/8), four pages, two-color
|
The cover of this propaganda leaflet shows the Statue of Liberty, Christian crosses and a red star in which white lettering says “A grave in Europe is not the right place for a boy from the US”.
The following three pages explain in detail precisely how an American soldier using animal blood could feign ulcers and end up in a hospital rather in a front line combat unit.
Excellent condition. **SOLD**
MY DADDY TOO
WAS A SOLDIER
|
5-7/8 x 7-5/16 inch, two-sided
|
This heart-rending Nazi propaganda leaflet shows a picture of a sad eight year old boy wearing his father’s Congressional Medal of Honor and holding a Captain’s overseas cap above the caption “My Daddy too was a soldier”.
The text on the back says “your boy too would be proud to get your posthumous medal and a letter from your Congressman. BUT would this medal replace him his daddy...? Water stained but good condition. **SOLD**
