German Election Propaganda Leaflets

Deutschlandfahrt -- Following the German occupation of the Rhineland in 1936, Hitler called a plebiscite for March 29, 1936, seeking ratification of the occupation and approval of a single-party list composed exclusively of Nazi candidates for the new Reichstag.

The LZ-129 Hindenburg and LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin were called upon to fly in tandem around Germany, dropping propaganda leaflets promoting the Nazi Party's desired result.

Eight different varieties of propaganda leaflet exist, with additional color variations.



Sudetendeutsche Freiheitsfahrt -- During the December 1938 flight of the LZ-130 Graf Zeppelin II to the Sudetenland, the Graf Zeppelin II was called upon to drop propaganda leaflets advertising the upcoming election.

Five different versions exist, with each found in four different colors.
