About this Item

Translation of surrender ticket, 1944-1945. "Baptism of Fire, Men of the 710 Inf. Div." Your three-year dream of a safe life behind the lines in Norway is over." 229x177mm.I believe that this leaflet was printed in 1944/5 the 710th was formed May 1941 and served in Scandanavia (including Norway) and if the "three-year dream" segment is calculated from then it would put this document in 1944/5, with the 710 surrendering 8 May 1945. This is the translation sheet that no doubt accompanied the German language sheet of this surrender leaflet, probably dropped from a bomber in large numbers. I do not have the German leaflet, just its translation. Quite an interesting document, no?
