Excellent read Klaus. There is some dispute over whether Ilya Ehrenburg actually authored all that was attributed to him. In fact, some think that some of it was counter-propaganda actually authored by the Nazis, though clearly he did create a lot propaganda for the Soviets during that period.
The most famous leaflet is called "Kill" and concludes thus:
The Germans are not human beings. From now on the word German means to use the most terrible oath. From now on the word German strikes us to the quick. We shall not speak any more. We shall not get excited. We shall kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day ... If you cannot kill your German with a bullet, kill him with your bayonet. If there is calm on your part of the front, or if you are waiting for the fighting, kill a German in the meantime. If you leave a German alive, the German will hang a Russian and rape a Russian woman. If you kill one German, kill another -- there is nothing more amusing for us than a heap of German corpses. Do not count days, do not count kilometers. Count only the number of Germans killed by you. Kill the German -- that is your grandmother's request. Kill the German -- that is your child's prayer. Kill the German -- that is your motherland's loud request. Do not miss. Do not let through. Kill.
and it is one that is thought (by some) to have been such counter-propaganda.
