Scope and Contents Note
The collection contains propaganda leaflets distributed in Europe and in the China-Burma-India Theater of operations during
World War II. Produced by the U.S. Office of War Information, leaflets were dropped from planes inside enemy territory and
in countries invaded by the enemy. Propaganda leaflets, pictorial newspapers, and "gift drops" were widely used to weaken
enemy morale, encourage the resistance, and befriend the people from the occupied countries. Collection includes translations
of most Asian language material.
