A leaflet meant to be dropped onto a German city. This is an example of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/psychological_warfare" class="extiw" title="w:psychological warfare">psychological warfare</a> on the part of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_Air_Force" class="extiw" title="w:8th Air Force">8th Air Force</a>. Translation:
<blockquote><p>On February 18, 1943, a few weeks after the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad" class="extiw" title="w:Battle of Stalingrad">catastrophe of Stalingrad</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels" class="extiw" title="w:Joseph Goebbels">Dr. Goebbels</a> posed a mass gathering in Berlin's Sportpalast the question:
</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportpalast_speech" class="extiw" title="w:Sportpalast speech">"DO YOU WANT TOTAL WAR?"</a>
</p><p>An enthusiastic "yes" was the Nazi gathering's answer. Today Germany knows what "total war" means, better than Goebbels and his yes-shouters in the Sportpalast foresaw.  The total war that the Nazis wanted will be continued with ever severer force and effect until Germany capitulates unconditionally.
</p><p>THE GERMAN PEOPLE MUST CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES:
</p><p>
EITHER continuation of the total Nazi war until German manpower and industry is completely destroyed — OR: <i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:8th_Air_Force_psychological_warfare_leaflet_text.jpg" title="File:8th Air Force psychological warfare leaflet text.jpg">see back</a></i></p></blockquote>
The word <i>weiss</i> is a typographical error because the American printing presses lack the correct German letter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F" class="extiw" title="w:ß">ß</a>.
