I have 2 similar pieces from the Eastern Front encouraging Soviet troops to 'come across'.


"Entry Ticket/Ausweiss

Fighters of the 16th Army!

You have been promised certain victory and this promise happened to be false. The Stalin winter campaign totally failed. Do not believe to promises and fairy tales of your commanders. The German Army is advancing successfully. Kharkov (in Ukraine) is again in our hands. The choice is in your hands.. Either certain death in battle or to save you life shifting to the German Army's side. Where the good attitude, food and work according to your profession will be provided".



And another example this time from around Stalingrad where, apparently if you surrender you get to dig potatoes with a blond bird..

So German prisoners were paid for working in the US or Canada but not in the UK?
