MESSAGE FROM MONTGOMERY TO OCCUPIED GERMANS
A printed flyer issued immediately after the end of WWII with a personal message from the Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal B.L. Montgomery to the population of the British Zone in Germany. The German population is called upon to work under Montgomery's orders to 'provide the necessities of life for the community and to restore the economic life of the country.' The flyer also informs the population that all German soldiers, sailors and airmen will be discharged from the armed forces so that they can begin to work in their civilian occupations. 'The German WEHRMACHT, and other armed forces, will be disarmed and disbanded.' Dated May 30, 1945, 8 x 11 in. when folded, written in English and German, minor tearing on edges, folds, some foxing. Very good.
