5 Unusual Forms of Propaganda by Governments

1. The Leaflet Airdrops

When in war, the ones fighting them are mostly men especially during the world war. They would have to leave their homes and sometimes even their own country leaving their lover or wife behind.

Stressed, alone and very close to death, the only thing keeping them alive and sane was the thought of their loved ones that they can go back to.

Now imagine you are in the situation of stress and cold. Suddenly, some leaflets started falling from the sky with pictures and words saying the girls back home were having a free for all sexual experience or just plain cheating while you are out of the country in a war.

The turmoil, the rage, the heart drop.

This was a method called leaflet bombings. It is where they give mostly false information and demoralises the troops from having the will to fight. Such a psychological warfare.
