Philip, my database should help you out at Propaganda Leaflets

But a good first indication is the code number that is printed on most leaflets in one of the bottom corners.

If it is just a three digit number it is most likely either a British leaflet from the 1939-41 period, or a Russian-origin leaflet from 1941-42.

Just a four digit number - Russian origin, 1942-1945.

G.??? - British to Germany 1942-45 (F.??? for France, H.???? for Holland, B.??? for Belgium, etc.)

ZG.???, WG.???, XG.??? - Allied (PWD) to Germany and German troops.

USG.??? - American (OWI) to Germany (USF.??? for France, etc.)

That's just a small selection of the most common code numbers.

Leaflets in English, produced by Germany have a wide variety of code number styles.

Hope this helps!?
