On the Western Front at the start of World War II, from September of 1939 to April of 1940, active combat on a major scale did not occur. The Germans called this period in the west the "sitzkrieg", while the western allies dubbed it the "Phoney War". One of the activities that did occur was leaflet-dropping: planes from both sides of the war dropped paper leaflets with various Propaganda messages intended to influence the citizens and soldiers of the enemy.
