Titled, 'Germany Surrenders' on a crumbling swastika, the leaflet details the defeat of Germany in Europe and encourages Japanese surrender. 'Already, while your German ally made us fight you with one hand tied behind our backs, you have seen the Allied forces drive Japanese planes, ships and troops from 3,000,000 square miles of this Pacific...What power on earth can withstand the combined attack of the rest of the civilized world? Can Japan? Ask yourselves. Ask your Officers. Ask the Gunbatsu of Japan.' Dated September 26, 1944, Sixth Army Headquarters G-2, APO 442. Text at bottom, 'Confidential'. Record is 13 x 8 inches. Leaflet is 8.25 x 5.25 inches. Mailing folds on translation, splits along folds, and minor pinhole marks.
