Original U.S. WWII Propaganda Leaflets Dropped on Japanese Troops - Lot of 4
In stock
-
Original Items. Only One Lot Available. This is a great set of four leaflets dropped on Imperial Japanese soldiers by American planes during World War II.
The leaflets include:
- 5 x 8” Leaflet “The bearer has ceased resistance” meant to allow safe passage through allied territory to be captured. Good shape.
- 3 x 5 ½” Leaflet that looks like Japanese money. The back reads “What good is money in the bank or in bonds? Buy articles you need now and buy articles for future use. The remaining supply is low. As a result of bombing by America, many of your stores will close their doors while others will be open only for limited periods. Buy food, clothing, and other necessities to tide you over these periods. Money will not satisfy your hunger or clothe you. Bonds will not satisfy a baby’s cry. A wise person would buy now, not save his money. The present is not a time for money. It is a period for goods.”
- 4 ½ x 6 ½” Leaflet now missing 25% of the material, showing a Japanese soldier injured in the hospital vs an injured Japanese soldier in the field. It is meant to show that they will survive if they surrender. Heavily damaged. Tape repairs.
- 7 ¾ x 10 ½” Leaflet “ATTENTION AMERICAN SOLDIERS - I CEASE RESISTANCE”. Meant to allow safe passage through allied territory to be captured. Good shape with some tearing in corner.
A great lot, ready for display.
