Summary

Description
English: A leaflet meant to be dropped onto a German city. This is an example of psychological warfare on the part of the 8th Air Force. Translation:

On February 18, 1943, a few weeks after the catastrophe of Stalingrad, Dr. Goebbels posed a mass gathering in Berlin's Sportpalast the question:

"DO YOU WANT TOTAL WAR?"

An enthusiastic "yes" was the Nazi gathering's answer. Today Germany knows what "total war" means, better than Goebbels and his yes-shouters in the Sportpalast foresaw. The total war that the Nazis wanted will be continued with ever severer force and effect until Germany capitulates unconditionally.

THE GERMAN PEOPLE MUST CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES:

EITHER continuation of the total Nazi war until German manpower and industry is completely destroyed — OR: see back

中文:一份准备投放到德国城市的传单,是第八航空队实施心理战的一个例子。

翻译:

1943年2月18日,斯大林格勒惨败几周后,戈培尔博士在柏林体育宫的一次群众集会上提出问题:

“你们想要全面战争吗?”

纳粹集会上得到的回答为热情洋溢的“是”。今天,德国比戈培尔和他在体育宫里的高呼“是”的人更清楚“全面战争”的含义。纳粹所希望的全面战争将以更强大的军力和后果继续下去,直到德国无条件投降。

德国人民必须自己做出选择

要么继续纳粹的全面战争,直到德国的人力和工业被彻底摧毁——要么(见反面)

Transcript

Am 18. Februar 1943, wenige Wochen nach der Katastrophe
von Stalingrad, richtete Dr. Goebbels an eine
Massenversammlung im Berliner Sportpalast die Frage:

„Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?“

Ein begeistertes „Ja“ war die Antwort der
Nazi-Versammlung. Heute weiss Deutschland,
was „totaler Krieg“ bedeutet, besser als es
Dr. Goebbels und seine Ja-Schreier im Sportpalast
voraussahen. Der totale Krieg, den die
Nazis wollten, wird mit immer stärkerer
Wucht und Wirkung fortgeführt werden, bis
Deutschland bedingungslos kapituliert.

DAS DEUTSCHE VOLK MUSS SELBST WÄHLEN:
ENTWEDER Fortsetzung des totalen Nazi-Kriegs bis zur
völligen Vernichtung der deutschen Arbeitskraft und Industrie – ODER:
