Original WWII US Allied Propaganda - Geneva Convention POW - Translated - Rare
Allied psychological warfare leaflet dropped over German positions in late WWII. It’s designed to break morale and encourage surrender. Note this is shaped in a very different way, and is the first I have encountered like it. Resembles a German Gas Mask Lens Pack.
