| Content: | This Japanese-language propaganda leaflet was produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office at the end of the Pacific War. An English translation of the text is attached. It states that the troops in the area are completely isolated as the supply line has been cut. It urges the troops to surrender instead of following the path of the 4000 officers and soldiers in Okinawa. It advises the soldiers to keep the leaflet so that it can be used for surrender. |
