Description
-
An introduction letter printed in a scrapbook provided by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II. The letter is signed by Brigadier-General, General Staff Corp, Bonner F. Fellers. The introduction provides insight into the science behind the use of psychological warfare. It explains the importance of high morale in troops and how morale alone could determine the length of time a soldier will fight. The letter also explains that it is equally important that civilians understand the intent of the American forces. Tolerance and liberalism must be recognized as the basis for the Americans fighting in the Pacific theater. This letter was included in a scrapbook of propaganda issued by the Psychological Warfare Branch which was collected for Colonel Karl F. Baldwin.
