Content: This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. It is accompanied by an English translation of the text. The message states that the Japanese military leaders are forcing ground troops to continue the useless battle even though they have long abandoned New Guinea and the Solomon Islands strategically. It asksJapanese troops why they are continuing battle in the areas abandoned by Headquarters. 100,000 of them were printed.
