AMERICAN PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS, AIR-DROPPED ON THE JAPANESE
Good pair of propaganda leaflets issued by the 'Psychological Warfare Branch' of the U.S. Army Forces, air-dropped in Japan. The first shows Russian and American soldiers shaking hands, with the reverse bearing a warning in kanji, in part: '...the Red Army is now at the peak of its strength...the Japanese people MUST take action to avoid the utter destruction of their country...' The second leaflet notifies Japanese citizens about an upcoming American bombing, warning in part: 'These leaflets are being dropped to notify you that your city has been listed for destruction by our powerful air force...we know there is nothing they can do to stop our overwhelming power. We want you to see how powerless the military is to protect you...we urge all civilians to evacuate at once.' Each leaflet is stapled to an original English translation, printed on 'Psychological Warfare Branch' letterhead. Fine.
