German soldiers with a banner and balloons

Among trees soldiers in German field caps hold up a long dark banner with large white lettering that is not fully legible; a soldier in a field cap blows up a bunch of pale balloons; behind a screen of cloth stretched between poles, before the tracery of a ruined Gothic front, a soldier lets balloons go. German newsreel footage. During the drôle de guerre German propaganda units addressed the French soldiers across the Rhine with loudspeakers, banners and leaflets, some of them carried over by balloon.
