- Notes:
- This map is from a magazine published in Japan as part of the effort to engage and mobilize school children for the war effort. Germany's conquests are shown along the bottom from right to left: Poland, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Norway, France - and then England with a question mark! The conveyor belt in the Atlantic is labeled "America providing England support. Arms and food." Nearby is the label "German submarines active in Atlantic." Statistics compare British air power with (superior) German air power.
A great number of these pamphlets were produced and distributed beginning in the mid-1930s, and the collection includes two examples, ID #2166 and ID #2191. They contain patriotic Japanese military songs ("Gunka"), maps, photos of Japanese leaders, illustrations and other patriotic information. Carefully written and selected gunka were pervasive in Japan during the war years. Children sang them during any kind of group activity - outings, assemblies, physical training, on the way to and from school - and they were among the very few entertainment choices available to adults as well.
