German WWII Booklet "Wir Werden Weitermarschieren" - Die Grauen Hefte der Armee Busch, No. 2
A soft-cover pamphlet titled "Wir Werden Weitermarschieren" ("We Will March On"), printed as issue number 2 in the series "Die Grauen Hefte der Armee Busch" ("The Grey Booklets of Army Busch"). The cover carries the title and series designation in black type on a plain grey card wrapper, with the issue number printed in the lower corner.
The "Grauen Hefte" were a series of morale and information booklets produced for troops of the German Army under the command designation "Armee Busch, " referring to the force commanded by Generalfeldmarschall Ernst Busch during the Second World War, intended for distribution among serving soldiers.
Ernst Busch commanded Sixteenth Army and later Army Group Centre on the Eastern Front, holding senior field command through much of the German invasion and occupation of the Soviet Union before his dismissal following the collapse of Army Group Centre in the summer of 1944. Troop newsletters and pamphlet series such as this were produced at army or army-group level to sustain morale, reinforce ideological commitment, and disseminate command messaging among frontline soldiers, typically featuring exhortatory titles and short propagandistic or informational content. Such material circulated informally within units and offers insight into the internal communications directed at German soldiers during the war on the Eastern Front.
