Original WWII German Propaganda Leaflet – Antisemitic – Rare

Description

A really rare leaflet dropped by German Propaganda Units on Soviet Trenches to try and get them to surrender.

Translation

This pass is valid for an unlimited number of commanders and soldiers of the Red Army who cross over to the side of the German troops.

The bearer of this, not wishing senseless bloodshed for the interests of Jews and commissars, leaves the defeated Red Army and crosses over to the side of the German Armed Forces. German officers and soldiers will receive the one crossing over well, feed him and arrange work for him.

Commanders and fighters of the Red Army!

Your situation is hopeless.
The iron ring of German troops is tightening tighter and tighter around you.
You lack ammunition, supplies, and food; your rulers and leaders are incapable of anything, they flee and abandon you to fate.
Many of you have been oppressed until now, deprived of rights — now you are being used only to defend their regime.

Your struggle is useless!
Is it really permissible that your command, out of stubbornness, still drives you mercilessly to inevitable death?
No — your life is dear! Save it for a better future and for your families.

Cross over to the Germans — there you will find good treatment and food, as well as a quick return home.

Hurry!
In the areas occupied by them, the Germans have already begun resolving the land question.

Red Army soldiers, do not delay, otherwise you will be left without land!

Headline (Russian):

“Beat the Jew–political commissar, his mug begs for a brick!”
