| 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 informs of the fall of Saipan after a 25-day siege and of the Allied' landing on Guam. As the Allies have control over air and sea, the message boasts that the Allies are able to strike out in any direction, to Japan, to the Philippines and even to the Indies. |
