GERMAN PROPAGANDA (WORLD WAR II - WESTERN FRONT 1944-1945):
1. "Dead Line The Rhine" (German code 980245/75) – Iconic imagery of US flag-draped coffins floating on the Rhine. The reverse side features the infamous, aggressive Waffen-XX warning: "You now face Elite Troops of the Waffen XX!".

3. "It was a nice evening..." (The famous Pin-Up leaflet) – Highly sought-after erotic 'sex leaflet' depicting a pin-up girl on a sofa, designed to trigger homesickness.

4. "Look at it properly!" (Tank/Militaria leaflet) – Striking artwork of a heavy German armored vehicle crushing Allied lines. The reverse contains the full propaganda text "Look at it properly!".
