Description
A propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office (FELO) during the Second World War. This leaflet is written in Japanese and was distributed to Melanesia and the Netherlands East Indies. An English translation of the text is attached. The leaflet reports that communications between the Japanese Forces have broken down and many soldiers will soon perish in jungle due to starvation and disease. The message attributes the disastrous situation to the General Staff's blunder in strategic planning. 55,000 of them were printed
