Summary

[edit]
Description
English: German parody of the US $5 with skull

The Germans also produced a photographic reproduction of the United States $5 Federal Reserve Note of 1934. The propaganda banknotes bear the serial number B03439129A. They were dropped in 1942 over Egypt and possibly over other parts of North Africa.

These notes are found with two different Arabic messages on the back. The first depicts a skull in the center and text:

The face it is shining gold, but it hides tragedies. It is full of promises, but is followed by occupation and confiscation of the land. They tell you none of this. Worse will be the enslavement of the people and permanent occupation by the colonizers who destroy all traditions. They came with ugly aggression and no regard for religion. Is it not better for the patient to fight his illness before it spreads and becomes fatal? Before it is implanted permanently in the land and spreads, which would mean the loss of the land? The face it is shining gold, but the inside is merciless and cruel.

The term "face" refers to both the front of the banknote and the skull on the back.
