WWII Soviet Propaganda – We Are Guerillas – Soviet Partisan Warfare Behind Nazi Lines (Soviet War News No.3, Hutchinson, London)

WWII Soviet Propaganda – We Are Guerillas: An Account of the Work of Soviet Partisans Behind the Nazi Lines is a scarce wartime propaganda booklet issued during the Second World War by “Soviet War News”, the information service of the Soviet Embassy in London. Published by Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd., the booklet forms part of the Soviet War News Books series (No. 3) produced for Allied audiences during the war.

The publication presents a contemporary account of Soviet partisan warfare operating behind German lines on the Eastern Front, highlighting the guerrilla tactics used to disrupt Nazi supply routes, communications, and troop movements during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. These publications were part of the wider Allied wartime information campaign aimed at demonstrating Soviet resistance and strengthening support among Western allies.

Printed in striking wartime propaganda style with bold graphic design typical of the early 1940s, We Are Guerillas offers a fascinating primary-source insight into Soviet resistance operations, Eastern Front guerrilla warfare, and Allied wartime propaganda efforts.

Examples of these fragile wartime pamphlets are increasingly difficult to find today, as they were printed cheaply for mass wartime circulation and often discarded after reading. Surviving copies are now sought after by collectors of World War II history, Soviet military history, Eastern Front studies, and wartime propaganda literature.

This copy of We Are Guerillas retains all 64 pages and remains structurally sound despite heavy wear to the spine and age toning to the paper.
