Content: | This item is a so-called surrender leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. The message on the leaflet encourages the recipient to come over to a position of the Allied Forces with the leaflet in hand. The message on the back of the leaflet emphasises that courage alone will not bring victory to the Japanese forces when the American forces have absolute superiority in the sea, the land and the air. The message also criticises the Japanese commanders who order their men to continue useless resistance when there is no chance of winning the war. It encourages the recipient to consider surrendering so that he can receive food and necessary medical treatment under the Allied Forces. |
