 July 1941 letter from Göring to Heydrich concerning the "final solution" of the Jewish question |
 Propaganda leaflet dropped by RAF Bomber Command over Germany in 1942. The leaflet comically shows Hermann Goering, head of the German Luftwaffe, and his supposed reaction to aerial warfare. Happy at the German raids against European cities during the early days of the war which changes to fear and anguish of the retaliatory RAF bombing of German cities. |
