Aft night Russian soldiers often carry packages of pamphlets across no man’s land and toss them into enemy trenches. . Where the lines are close the leaflets and news sheets are sometimes shot from sling shots or are tied to toy -balloons put adrift when the wind is in the right direction. Then riflemen puncture the balloons when they are above the Nazi positions.

Spread Fear of Winter

IN SOME PLACES, the Volga’'s current’ will carry: leaflets in ‘the shape of paper boats across to the German shore. Nazi propaganda in Hitler's army has built up such a fear among the soldiers of being executed as soon as they are captured by the Russians that these personal messages from German prisoners provide the most effec tive way to make Fritz scratch his head and think again. Full advantage also is being taken of the German soldier's pronounced fear of fhe Russian winter, By. leaflet and Ly loudspeaker he is constantly being re- , minded that another Russian winter is just around the corner. 1 And of what it inevitably means to the unfortunate invaders. “How many more winters, will Hitler ‘keep you here to freeze to death?” On this front the Russians’ loudspeakers must be a particular thorn in ‘the flesh: of the Nazi high command 1 ecause what the '| German soldiers hear, night after night, is - based especially upon ‘what ‘German prisoners say and reveal. German soldiers in Russia don’t know anything about allied bombing. raids on’ Germany, or the recent American bombing . visitation upon Lille, for instance. But “Fritzes” in Rzhev’s front lines get all such news very specifically nightly in their own language.
