Original WW2 German Leaflet - Automne leaf (1939)

Original WW2 German Leaflet - Automne leaf (1939)

This leaflet was dropped by the Luftwaffe above France during the phony war in 1939. The left corner is torn.

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.''
