Bush announced the opening of the second Persian Gulf War at 10:15 pm on 19 March 2003, just 90 minutes after the deadline for President Saddam Hussein to exile himself and his sons from Iraq.

The texts are similar in Serbian language (Cyrillic letters) on one side and in Croat, Bosnian languages (Latin letters) on reverse; American flag or United Nations emblem were used as a background: “[American, Attention!] aircraft will be dropping humanitarian aid for all people.

Sales List No.1

The Leaflet Collector Sales List No. 1 27 1959 – 1972 East Germany ¤West Germans Note: During the Cold War in Germany, 1959 – 1972, aerial propaganda leaflets were exchanged across the demarcation line. 7 In the beginning financing was provided by the secret services of the USA and USSR respectively. In later years the two Germanies took over, closely watched and controlled by the two super powers. The West used almost exclusively balloons, and the East small paper rockets to disseminate leaflets in each others countries of interest. Millions of leaflets were dissemi- nated, but almost all have disappeared. Today only a few historians are aware of what had been going on in the Cold War.

Dissemination of leaflets stopped in 1972 when West- and East-

Germany agreed to do so in a treaty. #S1-47.....Bundeskanzler¤ Brandt in Warschau 10x15 cm – 2 – red, yellow – preservation: 1 – 1970 – rocket dissemination – see complete illustration – description: [...

This “black” leaflet ¤ newspaper disseminated by West-Germany used only the title as camouflage. The origin of the leaflet was evident by the beginning of the text of the subtitle. The four pages of the leaflet give information not easily available in East-Germany: Methods of

forging photographs; more than two divisions of the “Volksarmee”

had deserted since its inauguration; Stalin’s daughter defected to the ¤ West; photograph of Walter Ulbricht as an officer of the Red Army in World War II... Euro 37 The “ball” of about 12 cm diameter, see photograph on the right, was used by East-Germany “since a decade” to transport leaflets across the demarcation line. West-Germany used mostly balloons to disseminate leaflets eastwards, this method was simple, far reaching and relatively more accurate than the East-German “balls”.
