'A Message to Every Filipino' flier

Title

'A Message to Every Filipino' flier

Description

A flier issued by the Allied Forces during World War II for Filipinos after the return of General Douglas MacArthur and the Filipino President, Sergio Osmena, in 1944. The flier was probably airdropped on the Philippines soon after General MacArthur and President Osmena landed in October, 1944. The flier contains a letter written to the Filipino people by President Sergio Osmana. It describes the way in which President Osmena, with the help of the Americans, will take back control of the Philippines. This is one item from a scrapbook of propaganda leaflets and related materials that was compiled by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II. The scrapbook belonged to Colonel Karl F. Baldwin of the United States Army, who helped establish the propaganda program. It contains approximately 200 pieces of propaganda, mostly in Japanese, that were intended for distribution in the Philippines, Japan, and other nearby areas.
