| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is provided. The leaflet reports the sinking of 32 Japanese coastal ships and 20 sampans off the Philippines and the attack on the Japanese convoy carrying supplies to their forces in Burma by the Australian Air Force. The message warns the recipient that the Japanese High Command is being forced to abandon its garrisons in the South due to these shipping losses. 50,000 of them were printed. 34,000 of these leaflets were dispatched to Darwin on 25 September 1944, 20,000 to Hollandia on 1 October 1944. |
