| 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 message on the leaflet states that the Japanese military leaders made strategic blunders inviting defeat, though their duty should be to enable their troops to gain victory. It urges Japanese soldiers to live and serve Japan after the war rather than die in vain. 52,000 of them were printed. |
