Warning Leaflet DroppedOn Japan
Translation: "If the war continues the result will be destruction of the homeland of Japan. This is an
obvious fact. The longer the war continues, the greater will be the work in reconstructing the
nation after the war, and the nation's resources will be forever impoverished. It is an easy matter
to sacrifice one's life for the nation. But true loyalty is to put an end to the war and to work toward
reconstructing the nation."
