    The Nachrichten für die Truppe airdropped newspaper often had a page 3 girl sourced from various places. Could be a typical publicity photo of an actress like Marte Harell or a more a exotic image from an art magazine. But they were not like the typical softporn pin-ups used on German leaflets dropped on Allied troops.

    These were rather typical. Especially the actresses were popular.
    German society maintained highest moral standards in that era - in other words: they were quite prudish and inhibited ;-)
