Instructions for British Servicemen in Germany 1944

This extraordinary document was intended to educate soldiers on a range of topics, including German history, the national character, politics, culture, food and drink, currency, and to explain the current situation, including the effect of war on Germany and the German attitudes to the British.

The result is a remarkable book, often unintentionally humorous and sometimes crudely stereotypical, it reads by turns like a travel guide and a crash course in psychological warfare.
