- Nazi Propaganda leaflet dropped on fighting American soldiers. The front features a soldier walking through the snow past a barbed wire fence. The other side reminds soldiers what Christmas was like back home and how the war means that they may never make it home for turkey, sherry, or Christmas pudding. It told the soldiers that the safest place to be in Italy was as a P.O.W., where they would be fed, have cigarettes, and would be guaranteed to see Christmas at home again.

- Notes:
- Election campaign leaflet in support of the SPD in the 1932 Reichstag elections. It challenges the words of Hitler, "In 1918 the SPD took over a super Reich," by explaining the massive debt that the Treaty of Versailles had left Germany. Therefore, the SPD inherited a suffering Germany, crippled by the reparations they owed to the Allied powers. It was in no way their fault that the Weimar Republic had suffered to a great extent.
