Three Anti-Semite Nazi Posters that were Thrown Out of German Airplanes into the Occupied Areas of the USSR in order to Inflame the Populations against the Jews during Operation Barbarossa (June 1941) - Russian, Ukraine and German - Extremely Rare!
The objective of the Nazi propaganda was to motivate the soldiers of Red Army and the local Ukraine and Russian population to cooperate, defect to the German side and hand over Jews.
The proclamations emphasize that the proclamation itself is an "entrance ticket" to the other, German, side: "The German officers and soldiers will treat the defectors well … will find them employment … the certificate of approval is good for an unlimited number of soldiers and officers of the Red Army".

A. Proclamation from Ukraine.
On one side, an appeal to the local population in Ukraine. On the top: "Your place is not among Jews!". At the bottom: "Get rid of the Jews!" in the center, a Ukraine couple with their child with an old Jews with stereotypical features lurking in the background.
On the reverse side, an appeal to the soldiers of the Red Army in Russian to defect and get rid of the Jews.
At the bottom: a Nazi stamp of the Nazi army, the German Wehrmacht and a sentence in German: "This proclamation is considered a pass". At the bottom (in Russian): "Hurry and defect to our side!"
B. Russian proclamation
On one side, an anti-Semite caricature – a pair of locals working hard, harnessed to a plow, while the lazy Jew watches them from afar. The title (in Russian): 3 years of war and where is freedom?"
On the reverse side: "…your family is starving at home … while the corrupt Jews live at your expense … your holy duty is to begin the second revolution for the homeland and the happiness of your family. Victory depends on you, save your homeland from the exploiting Jews, Death to the traitors of Russia and protectors of Jews, death to the Jewish Bolshevism!"
C. Russian proclamation
An illustration of a soldier of the Red Army hitting a Jew and another soldiers running away from the battle. "Your struggle is useless! Your situation is bad, your commanders will push you to sure death. Hurry and defect to the German side!"
Under it, a stamp of the Wehrmacht and "pass" (in German) :"anyone who presents this pass does not wish for a useless blood bath, according to the interests of the Jews and commissars … he leaves the defeated Red Army and transfers to the German Wehrmacht".

Extremely Rare! Has never been seen in auctions!
