Desert Storm surrender leaflets

Post by Candyman » Sat Jul 10, 2010 10:31 pm

I picked these, and more, up in 1991 during Desert Storm. The US dropped these all over the Iraqi lines to get them to give up. I took a few of them from POWs.
If you look close at some of them you will see what appeares to be mold, but in fact it is spots of oil.
The ones that are more worne and tattered were dropped early in the war.
I have been told that most people have never seen these.

Here are two that I know few have ever seen. I picked these up in the bunker of an Iraqi officer. These are leaflets printed up by the Iraqis.
