Dear Paul and Brian,
I Googled Brian's claim and it is verified. See:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...-after-6862200 amongst other items.
Okay, I've looked at the article on President Obama's Cairo speech. As I promised Nick and John, I will not go into the trap of political discussion. Enough said.
As for the supposed ineffectiveness of leaflets or subterfuge in WW II, there was one incident at the end of the war of Allied misdirection that, when the war actually ended, caused many receiving the supposed official surrender notice to question its voracity. Surely, there are incidents that affected the ability to conduct warfare, such as the judicious use of information obtained through Ultra. So, let me expand my "leaflet" idea to anything along the lines of information/misinformation that helped win the war for the Allies. For that matter, there well may have been effective use of such by the Third Reich against the Allies.
As for your claim Paul of no affect on the German population, just why were there repeated attempts on Hitler's life if everyone was happy with their lot?
Regards,
Richard
