Japanese Surrender Instruction Pass
Created by the Allied Powers

One such tactic involved the distribution of surrender leaflets like this example, which were air-dropped over Japanese-occupied territories and islands in the Pacific. These leaflets, often printed in both Japanese and local languages, sought to encourage Japanese soldiers and civilians to lay down their arms by assuring them humane treatment and safe passage if they surrendered to American forces. As the war progressed and the inevitability of Japanese defeat became clearer, such leaflets played a crucial role in undermining morale and reducing unnecessary bloodshed. However, many of these leaflets were destroyed upon discovery to prevent surrender or discarded after the war, contributing to their rarity today.
