| 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 discusses the losses of the Japanese following the landing on Leyte by the American forces, and encourages the recipient to consider surrendering rather than dying in vain. It questions who will rebuild Japan if all Japanese soldiers die meaninglessly in a foreign land. |
