'Who's Chasing Who' propaganda leaflet
Title
'Who's Chasing Who' propaganda leaflet
Description
A propaganda leaflet issued by the Allied Forces during World War II after the return of General Douglas MacArthur to the Philippine Islands in 1944. The leaflets were probably airdropped to Japanese troops on the Philippine Islands soon after General MacArthur landed in October, 1944. One side features an image of a map of the South Pacific with a red arrow indicating the American troops advancements. The arrow points directly at Tokyo. The other side states that General Yamashita says that he has been chasing General Douglas MacArthur all over the southern seas. The intent of the leaflet is to show Japanese troops the true picture of the war and to make Yamashita lose faith in his troops. The leaflet is numbered '41-J-6'. It is accompanied by an official description and translation of the text into English. This leaflet was included in a scrapbook of propaganda issued by the Psychological Warfare Branch which was collected for Colonel Karl F. Baldwin.
