It was an Anglo-American venture and the inspiration of Sefton Delmer who superintended the editorial content, wrote much of the material and inspired the staff. After trials and experiments begun in March 1944 the first edition appeared on 25 April 1944 with issue 9, as here, there deliberately being no issues numbered 1-8. It ended with no. 381 on 5 May 1945 (and the 'Extrablatt', announcing the German surrender, included in this run). The paper brought updated news of the war to the German troops, and for added interest and appeal it also featured sports results and pin ups. It was printed at the Luton News (Home Counties Group) then packed in large containers and dropped by Allied bombers on or behind the German Western Front. Starting with 200,000 copies a day, the print run was increased and by D-Day, 6 June 1944, the number of copies being dropped was one million a day. In total 159,898,973 copies of the newspaper were produced.
