Vlugschrift 2

De "Front-Illustrierte" telt maar vier bladzijden. Het totaal geldt zeker als voorbeeld van psychologische oorlogsvoering. Ik veronderstel  dat de Duitsers soortgelijke literatuur afwierpen boven Russische stellingen. De Nazis maakten ook aan het westelijk front propaganda en gebruikten daarvoor o.a. radiouitzendingen waarin bekende tophits werden voorzien van een  veranderde tekst, Handy's St.Louis Blues kreeg deze woorden: "I hate to see the evenin' sun go  down, Hate to see the evenin' sun go  down, 'Cause the German, he  done bombed this town. Feelin' tomorrow, like I feel today, Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today, I'll pack my trunk, make my getaway. That Churchill badman with his wars and things, Pulls folks 'round be his apron strings. Wasn't for Churchill and his bloody was, I wouldn't feel, yeah, so doggone sore. Got the black-out  blues, yeah, blue as I can be - That man got a heart like a rock cast in the sea. He just won't let folks live as they want to be - Doggone it." Dit is slechts één voorbeeld. Ook onder andere "South of the border", "Daisy", "I can't give you anything but love", "Blue Moon" en "You're driving me crazy" kregen een propaganda tekst. Laatsgenoemd liedje aldus: "Yes, the Germans are driving me crazy! I thought that I had brains, But they shattered my planes. They built up a front against me, It's quite amazing, clouding the skies with their planes. The Jews are the friends who are near me to cheer me - Believe me, they do. But Jews are the kind that now hurt me, desert me, and laugh at me too."
