They even had the guts of stressing that the allies were purposely bombing cultural places just to destroy them. The strange thing is that the german concern would strike the reader as unconvincing as he would say: if you germans would not have occupied countries, the allies would have had no need to bomb.
In general the propaganda aimed at the allied soldiers and at the occupied
countries looks clumsy to me.
The propaganda aimed at their own people is sometimes of a better quality.

I saw a propaganda leaflet from Iraq showing Saddam as a decisive battle commander taking command in the heat of battle. The leaflet was dated 2003. I wonder what use it would be to create this image: even his own people couldn't fail to see he had be soundly beaten in the first gulf war?
The gap between image and reality looks to great and this might have a tendency to backfire.

By the way, did you Father serve in WW II, if so what did he thought of the leaflet? And was there an image of US troops bombing indiscriminately?
