Description: The September 1945 issue of ARMY TALKS, an Information and Education Division news magazine for Allied troops mentions Battle of the Bulge propaganda: During the first week or ten days of the German push leafleting operations on the break-through were completely suspended. As soon as the enemy drive had been stopped and the Allies went over on the offensive, then the area was covered in a continuous schedule of nightly missions. Added to this night-after-night leaflet saturation by the 406th [a British RAF squadron assigned to leaflet dropping], there was a further drop of 24,800,000 leaflets in twenty-four daylight missions against communication targets behind enemy lines. Four leaflets proved to be of special value: the two versions of “This was the plan,” [Z.G. 95 and Z.G. 98] “The stake, your life,” [Z.G 99] and “Lost.” [Z.G. 100]. These almost identical leaflets that showed a map of the Rundstedt Plan were produced by SHAEF in London and were dropped from the North Sea to the Swiss border. 7 million copies of ZG-95 were dropped between 6 January and 15 February 1945. 16,688,032 of leaflet ZG-98 were dropped between 4 January and 21 February 1945. Though millions of leaflets were dropped, very few survived. Thank you!
