US82Bravo Posted July 31, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2019 Acquired this leaflet at a swap meet from a vendor who dealt in 'paper'. He had no history on the document. The leaflet is late war - after April 12, 1945 - since it has the name "Harry S. Truman" as the US executive. I have done some on-line research and have found references to similar leaflets dropped in the PTO but have not found this specific leaflet on any of the propaganda or psyops sites I reviewed. An on-line translation will follow. It may not be verbatim but it provides the intent of the document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhcoleterracina Posted July 31, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2019 Very cool, never seen one like this. To be dropped on suspected POW camps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US82Bravo Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted August 1, 2019 Very cool, never seen one like this. To be dropped on suspected POW camps? Based on the content, I think this would have been dropped near any detention facility for those mentioned, including nearby populated areas.
