THE BEACH-HEAD
_________________
is going to be the big blow
against the Germans.
Wasn't that the slogan when the Allied
troopslanded at Nettuno on January 21st.
TODAY
exactly three months of hard fighting have
passed and you can now celebrate this event.
But it is still merely a beach-head, paved with the skulls of thousands of British and American soldiers.
The Beach-Head has
become a Death's Head.
It is welcoming You with a grin, and also those
who are coming after you aross the sea for an
appointment with death.
Do they know what they are in for ?
Yes, they feel that they are landing on a
DEATH'S HEAD
