| Content: | This Japanese-language propaganda leaflet was produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office at the end of the Pacific War. An English translation of the text is attached. It urges Japanese soldiers to surrender instead of fighting till death. It states that thousands of Japanese soldiers have decided to surrender and that, on Okinawa alone 8,000 officers and men have come over to the Allies. It writes that the Japanese troops who surrendered had decided to devote their effort towards rebuilding Japan after the defeat. |
