'To Japanese who Wish to Surrender' propaganda leaflet
Title
'To Japanese who Wish to Surrender' propaganda leaflet
Description
A propaganda leaflet issued by the Allied Forces during World War II after the invasion of Okinawa in 1945. The leaflets were probably airdropped to Japanese troops on the Philippine Islands in the Abha River sector of Northern Luzon, soon after the invasion of Okinawa in April, 1945. One side of the leaflet is the standard surrender leaflet, numbered '17-J-1'. The other side features a statement about the humane treatment of prisoners of war and instructions on how to surrender to American and Filipino forces. The intent of this leaflet was to induce the surrender of Japanese troops. It is numbered '121-J-1'. 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.
