A vast amount of literature has been published about Germany's campaign in Russia during the Second World War. New attention has been focused on the role played by indoctrination in the conduct of the ideological war. / This thesis examines the thematic content of the German Armed Forces circular Mitteilungen fur die Truppe for a period that coincides with the climactic confrontation on the Eastern Front. It illustrates the presence of a coherent propaganda policy designed to boost troop resilience. / The data have been derived from copies of the primary source, namely part of the captured German records microfilmed at Alexandria, Virginia. The evidence is augmented through other primary and secondary sources.
