Allies' and anti Nazi propaganda

The file contains several leaflets of the student organization in Munich, known as the Weisse Rose (white Rose) and anti-Nazi leaflets dropped by the Allies. Airborne leaflet propaganda is a form of psychological warfare in which leaflets are scattered in the air. Military forces have used aircraft to drop leaflets to attempt to alter the behavior of combatants and non-combatants in enemy-controlled territory. Leaflets, written in German by the white Rose, appeared in England and the Allies decided to duplicate it and drop it above Germany. The white Rose was a student group in Munich, active in the non-violent resistance movement in Nazi Germany, especially in distributing flyers against the war and the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. The explaination given by the Allies is that the German nation also needed to help themselves and that the opinion of these people should be known by the whole population in Germany. Furthermore the Allies dropped leaflets with informations about the war situation and the role of the German nation. How Hitler, Goebbels, Göring and others lied to them and how these promissed dead to the nation if they continue the war. Hitler refused to capitulate but he only achieves that the cities of Germany will be distroyed. Slogans like: "to defend the party means to distroy the homeland", "Schluss mit den Lügenmärchen" (end the fabrication/fall stories), or that the Nazis should not force the German soldiers anymore to fight in a war, which can not be won.
