Propaganda in writingThe following excerpts are from two different newspapers reporting on the same event, the Second Battles of Ypres (Belgium). The battle lasted from April to May of 1945. Allies casualties were 70,000 and Central Power casualties were 35,000. It marked the first use of poison gas by the Germans.
Circle which side you believe wrote this.
Document 1: German or BritishTo the north of Ypres our progress has been continued, especially on our left. We have taken six quick-firers, two bomb-throwers, and much material; and made several hundred prisoners, including several officers. The losses of the enemy were extremely high. At a single point on the front, in the proximity of the canal we counter more than six hundred German dead.
On the heights of the meuse, on the front Les Eparges-St Remy-Calonne trench, we have continued to gain ground, about one kilometre, and have inflicted on the enemy very severe losses.
Document 2: German or BritishIn Flanders the British yesterday again attempted to regain the ground they had lost. In the afternoon they attacked from both sides but the attack completely broke down. An evening attack further east failed, with severe British loses.
