| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. An English translation of the text is attached. The message reports that major Japanese airfields in Hollandia and Aitape were heavily bombed and the Japanese Air Force took evasive action because Imperial Headquarters ordered them to abandon the 18th Army so as to save planes. It urges Japanese ground troops to consider surrendering, now that the High Command has abandoned them. 100,000 of them were printed. |
