After Crete disaster, Anzac troops are now being
ruthlessly sacrificed by England in Tobruk and Syria.
Turkey has concluded pact of friendship with
Germany - England will shortly be driven out of
the Mediterranean. Offensive from Egypt to relieve

You cannot escape.
Our dive bombers are awaiting to sink your transports
Think of your future and your people at home.
Come forward - show white flags and you will be out of danger!
SURRENDER!

"Don't know where they thought we
were going to get WHITE flags from."
