“800,000 copies… were dropped during the attack [on Berlin]. The leaflet spoke of the encirclement and destruction of ten German divisions the previous month near Korsun in Russia and a fierce battle in which more than a hundred thousand German troops had been killed or captured. In fact far fewer men had been surrounded and of these two-thirds had managed to fight their way out of the cauldron.” (Target Berlin Mission 250: 6 March 1944 by J. L. Ethell and A. Price cited in: The Falling Leaf, No. 152, Spring 1996).
