To the soldiers replenishing the Silesian section of the front! Soviet military propaganda leaflet in German. Addressed to soldiers from the replenishment. It encourages surrender to the Red Army. It contains the following content: To the soldiers replenishing the Silesian section of the front! Soldiers! During the stormy offensive from the Vistula River to the Lusatian Neisse River in January and February 1945. The Red Army smashed dozens of German divisions defending the approaches to Silesia. In these battles, 800,000 German soldiers and officers were killed, and 350,000 German soldiers and officers were taken prisoner. Only those who laid down their arms in time and surrendered to the Russian military authorities saved themselves (this is how the garrisons of the cities of Brieg (Brzeg), Steinau (Scinawa) and many others operated). You yourselves witnessed how pathetic the shortfalls of the German divisions you were supposed to fill looked. Hitler condemned you to the same fate as your predecessors. But at least your predecessors still had the illusion that they were defending Germany on foreign soil. But now the war has been transferred to German soil. It's too late for "in defense of Germany." Hitler has made the war irrevocable. Every death makes things worse for Hitler's army and Hitler's Germany. Germany needs your death. Only he and his clique need your death, they want to join in the downfall of Germany. Today, only those who are insane can resist the superior forces of the Red Army and, forgetting their families, die for Hitler. You want to live! Your families need you!
