NEWS FOR NAZIS
AMERICANS IN ITALY GERMAN LANGUAGE PAMPHLET New York, Dec. 17. Americans are giving German frontline soldiers a weekly German language news pamphlet known as the “Front Post,” reports a “New York Times” war correspondent with the Fifth Army in Italy. Thousands of the little newspapers flutter to earth around the German positions on delivery day—not propaganda but straightforward, uncoloured news from around the world. This is the latest development in a psychologica 1 war being waged to convince the German soldier that he is fighting for a hopeless cause The bulletins tell the enemy not only what reverses the German Army and people are suffering, but also what successes they have achieved. A notice on the front page explains the purpose of the bulletin: “This news sheet for the German front-line soldier shall be delivered weekly, weather permitting, by shell and by aircraft Its object is to give news from all sources—Axis, Allied, and neutral—that will enable the German soldier to form his own point of view.”
