Original WWII UK Allied Propaganda - Surrender Now! - Translated - Rare
Allied surrender demands aimed at German Wehrmacht commanders and local mayors during WWII. They are nearly identical in content — one is printed in black, the other in red — and were designed to intimidate and encourage immediate surrender without resistance.

Clean English Translation:
To the Wehrmacht commander or the mayor!
WE DEMAND:
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
That means:
Cease fire immediately!
Lay down your weapons!
Remove belt and helmet!
Show the white flag!
WE GUARANTEE:
Protection of personal property
Treatment according to the Geneva Convention
The local Wehrmacht commander or responsible mayor may, for surrender negotiations, send authorized representatives with a white flag to the nearest Allied command post. In cases of deception or trickery, no mercy will be given.
RESISTANCE IS SUICIDE
The Commander of the Allied Forces
