| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is attached. Printed on one side of the leaflet is a satirical illustration about the capital cities of the Axis nations. One of the leaves fallen on the ground is labelled "Rome", while a large leaf in the air is marked "Berlin". The only remaining leaf which is about to be blown off is "Tokyo". The message on the other side reports the fall of Berlin and the imminent end of the war in Europe. It questions what will happen to Japan after the fall of its Axis allies. |
