Germans read of Hitler's massacres by electrocution

This is the obverse of leaflet no. G2 which was dropped by the Royal Air Force on Düsseldorf and the Ruhr on, respectively, January 23/24 and 27/28, 1943. The headline translates to 'EXTERMINATION ZONE ON THE [river] BUG,' and the photograph purports to show a "smug German sentry standing by a row of corpses."*

The text begins:

DIE AUSROTTUNGSZONE AM BUG

DER östliche Wall der „Festung Europa” wird an dem polnischen Fluss Bug instandgesetzt. Diesen Ostwall hat Hitler zur „Ausrottungszone” erklärt.

Seit drie Jahren setzen die Naziführer in Polen ihre Lehree von der „totalen Vernichtung fremden Volkstums” in die Tat um. Hunderttausende von Unschuldigen sind dieser Vernichtungspoltik zum Opfer gefallen und mit Maschinengewehren, Giftgas und Starkstrom beseitigt worden.

Translated:

EXTERMINATION ZONE ON THE BUG

THE Eastern bastion of the Fortress of Europe is being got ready along the line of the Polish river Bug. This East wall has been declared "the area of extermination" by Hitler.

For three years now the Nazis leaders have in Poland been putting their maxim of "total destruction of foreign peoples" into practice. Hundreds of thousands of innocent peasants have been victims of this policy of extermination and have been killed off by machine-gunning, gassing and electrocution.

German Soldier Reports Gassing of Jewish Women and Children in Dusseldorf

June 17, 1943

LONDON (Jun. 16)

The Belgian Government-in-Exile today reported that a German soldier stationed in Herve, Belgium, has informed local non-Jews that the Nazis have been using poison gas on Jews in Dusseldorf.

“I shall never forget the tragedy which I witnessed when 100 Jewish women and children were assembled in a Dusseldorf hall,” he is quoted as saying. “I was among the soldiers who were ordered to release the poison gas and was forced to be present when the women and the children were dying.”

The Vienna radio today broadcast, for internal consumption, an article from the local edition of the Voelkischer Beobachter calling upon the “Aryan” population in Austria “to remember” that Jews are responsible for the Allied bombing of Germany. “A frenzy of hatred must seize every German when he sees and hears what the sadistic Jews have inflicted upon western German towns,” the article said.

Radio stations in Germany today also carried a broadcast attacking the Social Democratic Party in Hungary for its outspoken pro-Jewish attitude. The broadcast claimed that the Nepszawa, Social Democratic newspaper in Budapest, has gained 15,000 new Jewish readers. It also accused the Nepszawa of striking out the word “Jew” from a dispatch disseminated by the official Nazi news agency, DNB, reporting the assassination of Janakiev, a Gestapo agent in Bulgaria. The Nazi report stated that the assassination was committed by a Bulgarian Jew.
