1939 (Apr 3) an official proclamation issued by the Commander of the Japanese Army addressed to civilians in occupied territories x 2
The document asserts that areas under Japanese control experienced rapid restoration of public order and stability, warns remaining bandits and remnants of Kuomintang and Communist forces to repent and surrender, and promises leniency and benevolent treatment to those who comply. This proclamation exemplifies Japanese military propaganda and psychological warfare during the Second Sino-Japanese War, offering significant historical insight into occupation policies, wartime propaganda, and civilian life under military rule. Well-preserved and of high historical value.
