This all reminds me I'll have to scan in (or photograph) and post all the "Британский Союзник" Newspapers in the collection. Some rather interesting propaganda offered to our Soviet Allies by the British Ministry Of Information.

Not quite as fanciful as the English language German propaganda in the Newspapers of occupied Jersey and Guernsey including a front page stating "Victory At Stalingrad!" Some of the anti-Soviet, English language propaganda is certainly at odds with historical records but very interesting to see how the Germans wanted people to regard the fighting capability of the Soviets.

Did someone mention MP40 ... From the same collection ... I even got a chance to squeeze off a few rounds from one of them.
