documentary heritage
  • Description

    Propaganda flyer written in German. Title text reads "Wer den Tiger reitet, kann nicht absteigen!" [Who rides the Tiger can not dismount! - so goes an old proverb.]

    Body of the text speaks of the futility of resisting the Allied advance into Germany, from the South and the East - "[resisting means enormous blood sacrifice]" and "[advancing is out of the question]". "[The bone mill in the south grinds on, while the retreat in the East continues, while at home the defence industry continues to be destroyed]". Distributed by the Allies to the German army.

    Verso: An account of the journey a German prisoner took to a P.O.W. camp in Trinidad, Colorado (United States).
