| 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. The leaflet states that many Japanese troops have surrendered to the Allies in New Guinea, Burma, Guam, Okinawa and the Philippines. Thus, 20,000 Japanese troops have surrendered in the Pacific area. It urges other Japanese forces to act similarly to save their lives "for the service of Japan and the world". |
