Ministry of Information. "Bulletin," November 22, 1940
The Ministry of Information distributed this poster in an effort to help the people of Coventry deal with the severe damage that resulted from the German bombing raid. One week after the attack residents were told how to obtain--and offer--assistance and warned against attempts to flee to neutral Ireland. They were also told that there was "no ground for believing that large numbers of bodies remain to be recovered." Such tales were "pure rumor," the notice stated, "and to believe it is playing Hitler's game."
