| 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 air raid on Tokyo by large numbers of Super Fortresses (B-29 bombers) on 24 November 1944, the capture of Limon on Leyte by the American forces, the bombardment of the Kurile Islands and the shipping losses suffered by the Japanese. It also touches on the situation in Europe. The leaflet includes a picture of two Super Fortresses on the back. 100,000 of them were printed. About 20,000 of these leaflets were dispatched to Darwin on 8 December 1944, and 84,000 to Hollandia on 9 December 1944. |
