The German troops were also subjected to propaganda, explaining that their resistance was futile, and that the front line was far behind them — that they were trapped in a "pocket" and that it would be best to surrender.
Njemačke trupe su također bile izložene propagandi, koja je objašnjavala da je njihov otpor uzaludan, da je linija fronta daleko iza njih, da su zarobljeni u džepu, i da bi bilo najbolje da se predaju.
