I highly recommend Psychological Warfare (and its development from the 40's to the 50's). Read it, and apply its lessons to itself. I think you'll find that Linebarger has more to say, between the lines, and you'll probably also get a more nuanced…
…easier for german soldiers to surrender by giving them a "Surrender Form" to fill out and hand to Allied troops, with all the standard bureaucratic fields they were accustomed to in civilian life.

Given that a large part of the subtext (Linebarger* does implore us to habitually analyse all communication as if it might be propaganda) in Psychological Warfare is that "hey, it might really be better if the US Army didn't practice apartheid" (finally ended in practice ca. the 6.25 전쟁), I'd bet the confederate train was supposed to evoke the US Civil War.

我强烈推荐《心理战》（Psychological Warfare，以及它从40年代到50年代的演变）。读一读它，并把它讲的道理反套到这本书自身上。我觉得你会发现，林恩巴格（Linebarger）在字里行间还有更多话要说，你可能也会对……有更细致入微的理解。

……通过给德国士兵一张“投降表格”来降低投降门槛，让他们填好后交予盟军，上面满是他们在平民生活中早已习以为常的官僚式制式字段。（他的《心理战》非常值得一读；不仅在一开篇就告诫读者：心理战人员的话不能全听字面意思，而且我认为无论是1948年版还是1954年版，都很容易能读出字里行间的……

林恩巴格在他的《心理战》教科书里梳理了一段相当精彩的历史，案例甚至可以追溯到圣经时代。
Linebarger has a nice history with examples going back to biblical times, in his textbook on Psychological Warfare.
……本该引向最近那场关于标准美语（SAE）不像非裔美语（AAVE）那样能有效区分第二人称单复数的讨论？转念一想，也许我对林恩巴格《心理战》的着迷，正是因为（委婉点说这略显粗俗的事*）他在用高深理论阐述如何通过下里巴人的修辞去说服大众？> “无知就像一种娇嫩的奇珍异果；只要触碰它……

……对本地社交图谱的利用，体现在他对推销美国加入一战所用手法的描述中）但在同一时期我还参考了其他作者，而林恩巴格在《心理战》（1948）中指出，宣传/公关人士（在那个年代全都是男性）在自述其手段和实际成效时，往往算不上完全靠得住的信源。所以……

鉴于《心理战》很大一部分潜台词（林恩巴格*确实告诫我们要习惯性地把所有传播都当成潜在宣传来分析）都在传达“嘿，美军如果不搞种族隔离，事情可能真的会更好”（实际到朝鲜战争时期才算彻底终结），我敢打赌那列邦联火车原本是要让人联想到美国内战的。（让我们……
