A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army by Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. These leaflets would be distributed to Soviet soldiers to give them the impression that Jews were destroying their homeland and were gathering wealth and power while Soviet soldiers risked their lives. German propagandists pushed the idea of Judeo-Bolshevism, that Jews were at the origin of the Revolution in Russia and had control of the government. This conspiracy might convince Soviets that their fight was not with the Germans, but rather at home with the Jews. The cartoon featured on the leaflet shows Jews conducting business and sitting on bags of money, while a dignified Soviet soldier is wounded in battle.

A letter from the head of the 2nd branch of the 6th division of the Kiev military district of the Soviet Red Army asserting that an officer should be discharged from the Red Army and the Communist Party because of the officer in question’s anti-Semitism. This document is most likely from 1941 (when the USSR joined the Allied forces) or later because it would be in the same interest as the Allied forces to punish anti-Semites (those possessing a key value of Nazi Germans).

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army by Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. These leaflets would be distributed to Soviet soldiers to give them the impression that Jews were destroying their homeland by offering local news in the USSR. It mentions anti-Semitic protests got over 300 Soviet citizens arrested. German propagandists pushed the idea of Judeo-Bolshevism, that Jews were at the origin of the Revolution in Russia and had control of the government. This conspiracy might convince Soviets that their fight was not with the Germans, but rather at home with the Jews.

The leaflet also asserts that Stalin and his police force are brutes, citing examples of drunkenness in church and accidental and unnecessary violence. The cartoon featured on the leaflet has a heading that reads “On the Other Side” showing a Jew safe behind government walls while the Soviet soldiers are on the other side of the wall being killed in battle.

A Russian narrative drawing political parallels between Joseph Stalin and Boris Godunov by even explicitly mentioning Pushkin’s famous play about the latter of the two. Boris Godunov was the tsar of Russia from 1598 to 1605 whose reign ended in troubled times for Russia. This leaflet makes the case that Stalin’s rise to power also led to a time of trouble in Russia, with mass murders and civil unrest. The narrative reminds us of the rumor of Godunov’s suspected murder the son of Tsar Ivan IV Vasilyevich, or Ivan the Terrible, in order to become the de facto tsar of Russia. Similarly, in this narrative, it is mentioned that Stalin killed many of his colleagues and allies such as Lenin and Trotsky. The style of writing here alludes to the play, as Stalin bemoans his guilty conscience, just as Godunov does. 

This narrative was most likely created by Russians who did not support the Soviet regime, as opposed to Soviets collaborating with Germany. The references to Russian culture and the Byzantine style of Russian history suggest this is the work of anti-Stalinist Russians.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Ukrainian civil authorities who are collaborators with Nazi Germany. These leaflets would be distributed to Soviet soldiers to give them the impression that Jews were destroying their homeland and were fighting against the new “free Europe”, a Nazi conception of a German empire free of Jews, Bolsheviks, and capitalists.   The leaflet is entitled “War and the Jews” and explains that while the Soviets fight the Jews not only stay safe, but also are free to run the government behind the scenes. The caricature featured bolsters this argument as a Jew drives the Communist cart filled with money with his whip made of Stars of David. This leaflet is most likely created solely by Ukrainian collaborators as the document is completely in Ukrainian and does not call the Soviet soldiers to surrender.

These leaflets would be distributed to Soviet soldiers to give them the impression that Jews were destroying their homeland and were fighting against the new “free Europe”, a Nazi conception of a German empire free of Jews, Bolsheviks, and capitalists.   The leaflet is entitled “The Shameless Race without Mercy: Jews in the Soviet Union” and explains that while the Soviets fight the Jews not only stay safe, but also are free to mercilessly run the government into the ground. It cites specific Jewish leaders that Stalin has aligned himself with, only to the detriment of the Soviet Union. The caricature featured bolsters this argument as a Jew, an Englishman (entitled “plutocrat”), and a Bolshevik are three branches of one tree on top of countless skulls. The Allied forces are seen as responsible for the merciless deaths of thousands, with the Jews as the central branch responsible for the killing.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services and/or Russian collaborators in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. The leaflet is written in Russian, offering a story from an experienced Soviet soldier and the wise words of his grandfather. His grandfather explained that Russia was strong and powerful. Germans and Russians got along for centuries, until Jews gained power in the government. While Soviet soldiers fight today, Jews remain in the back, unharmed. The Jews have ruined the government and relations with Germany. Included is a cartoon of the Soviet soldier and his honorable Russian grandfather. Here, Germans are blaming Jews in order to make them the scapegoat of the war.

A German leaflet urging German citizens to stop shopping at Jewish-owned stores and took look for the “German” sign. The push for the boycott of Jewish stores began at the start of 1933, the same time the Nazi party came to power in Germany, although this placard was probably released before the official Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses, enforced in April 1933. The leaflet also includes a cartoon of a shop with a Jewish name with a large black hand in front asking you to “Halt!”

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. The leaflet is written in Russian, asserting that the Jews are the cause of all the suffering in the Soviet Union. It asserts that while Soviet soldiers risk their lives, Jews stay safe behind the front lines and fill their pockets with money. The only way to end the war is to banish every last Jew out of the USSR. This leaflet goes so far as to compare Jews to rats, with an illustration of a rat in front of a Star of David. By making Jews the scapegoat, it encourages Soviet soldiers to defect or surrender to the Germans. This leaflet also serves as a valid surrender pass. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by surrendering might be a more attractive offer.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front with the help of what was most likely Ukrainian collaborators. Although most of the document is written in Russian, the main message is written n Ukrainian, in bold letters. It asks the Ukrainians to work in Germany to help fight the Judeo-Bolshevism that is ruining Germany’s plans for a “free Europe”. The leaflet explains that the Soviet regime is shrouded in lies and mistrust, a regime promoted by Marxist-Jews. By making Jews the scapegoat, it encourages Soviet soldiers to defect or surrender to the Germans. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by offering them work in Germany might have been a more attractive offer and convince Soviet soldiers to surrender.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. The leaflet is a surrender pass written in Russian, targeted towards the Soviet soldiers that formed the Volkhov front, formed to help support the Leningrad Front. It asserts that the Jews are the cause of all the suffering in the Soviet Union, as they ask the soldiers to fight, while they stay out of harm’s way and run the government. By making Jews the scapegoat, it encourages Soviet soldiers to defect or surrender to the Germans. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by surrendering might have been a more attractive offer than facing their merciless officers.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. The leaflet is a surrender pass written in Russian, targeted towards the Soviet soldiers. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by surrendering might have been a more attractive offer than facing their merciless officers.  The leaflet describes the Soviet regime as oppressive. It goes so far as to say that Germany can give Russia its freedom back. Included on the back of the pass is a photograph of Soviet prisoners of war with their families looking happy and healthy.

This leaflet is most likely from the tail end of the fighting in the USSR, as the Germans wanted to get closer to the Allies and thus dropped all anti-Semitic and anti-Bolshevik attitudes in their propoganda.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front during the Second World War. The leaflet is a surrender pass written in Russian, targeted towards the Soviet soldiers that formed the Volkhov Front, formed to help support the Leningrad Front. It asserts that the Jews are the cause of all the suffering in the Soviet Union, as they ask the soldiers to fight, while they stay out of harm’s way and run the government. By making Jews the scapegoat, it encourages Soviet soldiers to defect or surrender to the Germans. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by surrendering might have been a more attractive offer than facing their merciless officers.

Not only does the leaflet suggest that the Soviet soldiers surrender, but that they join the Russian Liberation Army, Russian forces under the command of the Nazi Wehrmacht. It was to be led by Red Army general Andrey Vlasov and meant to unite anti-communist and anti-Bolshevik Russians. However, because Hitler did not trust the Soviet prisoners of war, the Russian Liberation Army was simply a piece of propaganda starting in 1942 and did not actually exist until 1944 when Germany was desperate for the labor.

A leaflet distributed to the Soviet Red Army from Nazi-German propaganda services in the Eastern Front with the help of Russian collaborators. It asks the Soviet soldiers to take refuge from the horrors of war by joining the Germans. Stalin has caused the soldiers to suffer and the Germans can help the Soviets help themselves by giving them work. This leaflet portrays Stalin as a cruel fool, while Hitler is strong, wise, and just. The Germans were aware that Soviet soldiers were not allowed to retreat, so giving them the chance to live by offering them work in Germany might have been a more attractive offer and convince Soviet soldiers to surrender.

This document is most likely from the tail end of the fighting in the Eastern Front, as there is no anti-Semitic content in this leaflet. In order to get closer to the Allies, the Germans needed to drop the anti-Semitic message and treat the Soviet people as a whole. The Germans were willing to make this sacrifice because at this point in the war they needed the Russian manpower in the German labor force.

Also attached is a list of National Socialist propaganda literature written in German.
