| 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 message warns that the Allied bombers will continue attacking Japanese positions and will increase their strength day by day. It criticises the blunder of the Japanese High Command for putting their men in a miserable situation. The message concludes by urging Japanese soldiers to "think it over" as there is nothing they can do to prevent the Allied bombing. 100,00 were printed first and further 100,000 were reprinted on 7 January 1944. |
