And you're right about the leaflets. But--all sides were dropping propaganda leaflets all the time, and many of them bragged about having an invincibly powerful secret weapon (the Germans were supposed to have a huge juggernaut that could bore through the earth and come up in the middle of London or Chicago to scatter death and destruction far and wide, so we'd better surrender real quick before they used it). All that leafeting accomplished was to 1) provide amusement at the imagination and ingenuity of the propaganda writers (probably science fiction writers in civilian life); and 2) alleviate the shortage of toilet paper.
