POA Safe Passage

[Gaspare]

The Russian Army of Liberation,,POA on their armshields.. I've always been interested in them and have a bunch of their items..

Here's an intersting little paper from my collection.. 2 sided, multi color!

Side one [POA emblem] urges the POA to keep on fighting the Bolsheviks. That Stalin is a monster and eventually he'll be nothing..

Side 2, the reverse. Tells some of the problem points about the Soviets,,and finally at bottom [facsimile of ink stamp] a 'safe passage' of sorts for POA members in the field maybe without proper insignia to come over to the German lines safely and of course to defect and come over safely...

There are many versions of these leaflets. some big some small, Black & White ,color. Most have the safe passage at the bottom..If any member has another please feel free to add it on..Thanks , G.

C. , I've always wanted and still look for a dual language Soldbuch.. I've never seen a dual WP!!! You have one?!

Ade. A bunch of wire tied bundles of these and others were found in a bunker in Ukraine in the mid 1990s.. I saw them when they first came out. The diggers were 'Oooing and Aahhing at all the other stuff and were not interested in the bundles..
The bundles were about 10" thick.. Most were not good and out of probably 500 there were 10 or so in the middle that were clean enough to keep..

The diggers were divided about how they were given out.. Some said the were shot somehow out of a cannon and spread all over,,others said they were dropped out of a plane..

I have more,,not as nice conditon. I'll 'dig' them out over the weekend and get them up here... Thanks , G.
