The jist of the booklet is the U.S. and its Allies wanted the Japanese to surrender, loose face and dishonor their country. It didn't work they just kept fighting to the bitter end. :rolleyes: (master race humor below) ;)

Oh i remember this picture, its a korean POW fighting for the wehrmacht. He was first pressed by the japanese, then he was captured by the soviets in a border skirmish. He surrender to the Germans and was forced to work on the Atlantic wall. He was finally captured by the Americans.

not sure its true or not

Yes he's a real guy and that really happened.

Poor guy, I bet all he wanted after that was a bowl of rice and kimchi.

And then 5 years later I bet he was drafted by the North Koreans, fought all the way south, captured by the Americans, re-educated and sent to fight north to the Yalu river, captured by the Chinese and repatriated to the people's army to fight again until the armistice. He eventually escaped to Vietnam...

That isn't a Japanese soldier surrendering, that is an asian conscript, probably a captured Russian soldier, captured after fighting for the Germans in Europe. It happened a lot with Russian/Asian conscripts, as they weren't particularily political, they just prefered to not be POWs.

Hi folks, I've just signed up this forum to post here.
one guy shared about this thread at the ASC(Airsoft Canada) forum and really want to join this topic.

I'm a native Japanese. and neal, if you can upload more better pics, it helps me a lot.
OK lets start with the very first photo...

This is a pamphlet dropped at pacific war zones by allies during WW2.
Issued by OWI(Office of War Information) and FELO(Far Eastern Liaison Office located @Australia).

It tells the story about one Unlucky imperial Japanese soldier named "Un ga nai zou".

Guessing from the Chinese character used for his name, his name means "Unlucky boy".
"Un" means "luck"
"ga" is kind of "is". it is particles of grammer.
"Nai" means "no" or "without",
"Zou" means a typical old japanese name for boys.

on left column of the first picture,
it says "Unfortunately... he has no personal connection with the secret military agency which is totally corrupted..."

I think this line satires the situation that the person who has no connection with secret military agency goes to fierce battle fields.

I will post more translation later. it's 2AM in Tokyo. hahaha...
