| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is attached. With reference to the historical battle in Okehazama, the message states that many victories do not necessarily win a war and the initial victor may be the loser in the end. It also stresses that the central theatre of the war is shifting to the Japanese mainland and that Japanese soldiers in the South are fighting a useless war. The back of the leaflet is a map showing the capture of significant positions by the Allies in the Pacific. 100,000 of them were printed. |
