Thanks for showing and congratulations on this unusual piece...I've seen other V-Weapon Propaganda Leaflets, but not this particular example...I wonder if the newspaper quotations were real or if they were made up by the Nazis to lend credence to their boasting...
cheers, Glenn

Thanks Glenn, Yes that is a very good point. I feel that the newspaper quotes were real, although I have not researched them fully. As we know the later V2 strikes were kept quiet by the British Government for a while, although they could not cover up the V1 strikes due to them being so conspicuous in the skies.
