When folded out, the illustration then depicts the serviceman dead on a battlefield. The flyer was presumably printed by Japanese forces to encourage Allied service members to surrender.
Caption: "That unforgettable embrace under the beautiful moon with the warmth of HER shapely body nestled against yours: that blood-tingling kiss: that over-powering sense of passion that sweeps over you -- these and many other pleasant memories you'll be able to relive again if you'll throw down your arms, surrender and prepare to get out of this hell-hole. But if you continue to resist............. Then, under the beautiful tropical moon, only death awaits you. Bullet-holes in your guts --- agonizing death! You have the two alternatives. Take your choice."Creation Datecirca 1942-1945SubjectWorld War, 1939-1945PropagandaSoldiersOriginal Formatprinted ephemeraBibliographic CitationThe Joseph K.
