Facsimile of a leaf with a message during WW2

Facsimile of an autumn leaf bearing a message during World War Two. The message, in French, reads: I have fallen, O Churchill! Where are you? Where are your soldiers? Winston Churchill had promised a second front before the leaves fall, and when this promise did not materialise, the Germans scattered many of these facsimiles for propaganda purposes
