Chris Going,
Many thanks for the link and your thoughts on this.
I followed up on this and came across the following link on
German Propaganda Balloons
The information also references parachute drops of leaflets -
"16. LEAFLET-CARRYING PARACHUTES
Prior to the use of balloons for this purpose, the Germans dropped leaflets by means of parachutes, the leaflets being carried in bundles and secured by a simple wire device which was broken open by a small explosive charge. It is possible this practice may be resumed."
I wonder if these are the "Taschen besonderer Art" from the Einzelmeldung.
