The germans made use of nearly every civilian industry they had. Under the pictures: Hitler examines the model 1938. The ready car in Africa 1943. At the top of the leaflet is a quote of Hitler who said: I calculated every possible option. The leaflets reverse text is, of course, about the bad situation in Africa. It says: After STALINGRAD - now TUNIS? After the debacle of Tunis, a new term was used by the allied: Tunisgrad. David Wed, 11 Dec 2002 15:44:46 -0800
