Greatest Propaganda Raid in History
LONDON, September 5,
The “Daily Express” says: “At the time the Athenia was sinking after the attack by a German U-boat, machines of the Royal Air Firce carried out our greatest propaganda raid in history. “Six million leaflets were dropped over northern and western Germany in a gigantic endeavour to bring the truth to the German people and to break through the barricade of lies and suppressions which—mightier than the Siegfried Line —stands between the ordinary German and the democracies of the West.” Differs From Previous Wars.
The “News Chronicle” says: “So far as Britain is concerned, this war has opened in the right way.
“The fact is that this war differs from all previous war. “It is ,a struggle by 'all men and women —British and German —who believe in liberty and peace, against the intolerable tyranny of the Nazi Government. It is a war for principles which knows no frontiers.”
