| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is attached. The leaflet reports that a number of senior Japanese officers fled in motor boats during the "defence to the death" of Giruwa and Sanananda, leaving their men to perish without them. Japanese men are warned of the likelihood that their commanders will desert them and flee. 20,000 of them were printed. |
