These leaflets dropped on British troops during the war proved true.
YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED!
YOU HAVE LANDED on the continent to face the armed might of Germany— but not for the benefit of Britain. Your country will gain ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from this struggle, no matter how well you may fight.
THE BOLSHEVISTS ALONE WILL PROFIT by your sacrifices. You have been trapped into risking your life for but one purpose—the Bolshevization of Europe!
‘Consider these points, and ask yourself:
WHY SHOULD You FIGHT FOR STALIN?
Why die for Stalin?
In dying for Stalin your soldiers are not dying for democracy or the preservation of the democratic form of government—they are
dying for the establishment of Communism and a form of Stalinist tyranny throughout the world. Furthermore, they are not dying for —
the preservation of the integrity of small nations (England's old war-cry) but are dying so that Poland shall be a Soviet state; so that the Baltic States shall he incorporated in the Seviet Union and so that Soviet influence shall extend from the Baltic to the Balkans.
Every British soldier ‘who lays down his life in this war is not only a loss to his own country, but is a loss to the common cause of European civilization. Germany’s and England’s quarrel is a form of traditional rivalry. It is more in the nature of a private quarrel which Germany did not seek. The Soviet Union's quarrel, however, is a quarrel with the WORLD. It is a quarrel with our common heritage and with all those values—moral, spiritual, culture! and ‘material which we have, all of us— Englishman and German.
