The Fuehrer's Thoughts about the Waffen SS

Hitlers Freibrief für die SS - Political Warfare Executive - 1942

In this flyer that was 'flyered' by the British in 1942, the English made it clear to the German people that the SS was not only set up to wage a war of conquest, but also to suppress the German population. The evidence for this - in 1941 looted secret German documents - was printed on the pamphlet. Of course, it was strictly forbidden to the German people to have these pamphlets in possession. Even picking up and reading such a pamphlet was forbidden! Relatively few of these types of flyers have been preserved.

This leaflet is the first of its kind that has been given the new coding. the 'G' refers to Germany. The '42' is a reference to the year of distribution.
