Original WW2 German Leaflet - Automne Leaf (1939)

Original WW2 German Leaflet - Automne Leaf (1939)

The Luftwaffe dropped this leaflet above France during the phoney war in 1939. There are two tape spots and a small piece of the leaflet has been torn, see pictures.

Translated from French:

''AUTUMN

The leaves fall. We fall like them.
The leaves fall because God wills it,
but we fall because the English will it.
In the coming spring,
nobody will remember the dead leaves
any more than the dead soldiers.
Life will pass on over our graves.''
