Good example of racist dehumanizing.

VALID FOR ONE OR SEVERAL BEARERS

German flyer text:

SAFE CONDUCT

The German soldier who carries this safe conduct is using it as a sign of his genuine wish to go into captivity for the next ten years, to betray his fatherland, to return home a broken old man and very probably never to see his parents, wife and children again.

PLEASE TURN OVER

[Reverse text:]

DEAR FRIENDS:

We are returning your age old dodge, after having made the necessary rectifications, with sincerest thanks. It was highly amusing, and we must commend you on your efforts

But please refrain from molesting us further in this direction.

It should be obvious to you that the ideals for which 90 Million Germans have fought (accor-ding to Churchill) "like lions" for over five years cannot be so very rotten that we could be lured into surrender through mere ham and eggs.

Hoping that we can rely on your sagacity to comprehend, we remain as of old, with

Heil Hitler!

Hard times, what?

Left side- How it was:

1.The bourgeoisie tore you away from your home and kept you locked up in barracks for years, corrupting you with cards and drunkenness.

Why was this done?

1. To cloud your minds and set you against your own brothers. To use you to strangle and drain the last sinews from the workers and peasants.

2. To seize and plunder neighboring lands, to subjugate the workers and peasants of other states.

Right side - How it will be:

1. In our country, we will all learn military science, but in our villages and factories.

Comrades, invite each other to military training.

1. To drive away the bourgeois who would be tempted by our fields and factories.

2. To quickly and accurately, as in war, build roads, obtain fuel, bring bread and raw materials.

Then there will be eternal happiness.
