Original WWII German Eastern Front Soviet Propaganda Nazi Leaflet Adolf Hitler Spring G.12

Offered here is a scarce original WWII Soviet propaganda leaflet produced for distribution to German Wehrmacht soldiers on the Eastern Front. This dramatic psychological-warfare piece features a striking photomontage of Adolf Hitler standing amid a snow-covered field of dead soldiers, accompanied by the sarcastic quotation:

“Ich fühle mich so frisch. Es kommt der Frühling.”
Translation: “I feel so refreshed. Spring is coming.”

The quote is attributed on the leaflet to Adolf Hitler, February 24, 1941. The imagery deliberately contrasts Hitler’s optimistic statement with the enormous human cost of the war, making this an especially graphic example of wartime enemy propaganda and psychological warfare.

The reverse is headed:

“AN DIE SOLDATEN DER DEUTSCHEN WEHRMACHT!”
“TO THE SOLDIERS OF THE GERMAN WEHRMACHT!”

The text uses quotations attributed to Joseph Stalin and references Churchill and Roosevelt, attempting to convince German soldiers that the Allies’ war was directed against Hitler and the National Socialist system rather than against the German people as a whole. It concludes prominently with:

“EINEM GERECHTEN FRIEDEN!”
“FOR A JUST PEACE!”

The lower corner carries the propaganda identification/code “G.12.” A museum collection catalogs this same design as a Soviet propaganda leaflet directed “an die Soldaten der Wehrmacht” during WWII, providing useful confirmation of its historical context and purpose.

These leaflets were part of the enormous psychological-warfare campaign conducted on the Eastern Front, where propaganda material was distributed among enemy troops to undermine morale, encourage surrender, and challenge official wartime messaging. Because such ephemeral paper material was commonly discarded, destroyed, or exposed to battlefield conditions, surviving examples are highly collectible today.

The piece displays period toning, fold lines, handling wear, and age consistent with an original wartime paper artifact. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition and details. The dramatic front graphic remains highly presentable, while the reverse retains extensive German-language propaganda text.

A fascinating original piece for collectors of WWII German militaria, Wehrmacht ephemera, Eastern Front history, Soviet propaganda, psychological warfare/PsyWar material, Adolf Hitler historical memorabilia, wartime leaflets, and WWII paper collectibles.
