Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Second World War. An English translation of the text is attached. The leaflet reports the withdrawals of the Japanese forces from Lae and Salamaua in September 1943. The message states that the troops in the Pacific are now regarded useless because Japan is carrying out the "Hundred Years' War" of attrition in the area extending up to Burma in the West, Java in the South, Ogasawara Island in the East and the Kuriles in the North. 120,000 of them were printed. |
