POCKET GUIDE to GERMANY
Bereits 1944 erhielten Soldaten ein kleines Taschenbuch mit Hintergrundinformationen über das zu besetzende Land.
Even after a surrender, or the signing of an armistice, keep your eyes open on German soil. Be careful. Don't take chances.
You are in unfriendly territory. Your life may be in more danger than it was during the battles. On the firing line you kept your eyes open and your wits about you every second. That is why you are alive today. You cannot afford to relax caution now.
During the war, Germany kept 500.000 trained killers at home, the black-uniformed „S.S. Guards", a branch of Himmler's „Gestapo", the German Secret Police.
With the defeat of Germany what are left of these 500.000 will discard their uniforms and disappear into the anonymity of civilian clothes. Many thousands of other Gestapo men and soldiers as well will do the same.
This will not make them less dangerous. It will make them more dangerous. It will enable them to strike in the dark.
Many will go „underground", and many will insist they were anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler all the time.
You must remain an alert soldier.
