Here are my WW2 Japanese Propaganda matchbox labels

EXAMPLES OF JAPANESE PROPAGANDA DROPPED INTO BURMA, CHINA AND PHILIPPINE ISLANDS  FROM 1942 TO 1945




All of these matchbox labels have text at the bottom that says, “collect matchbox labels".

This image (above) from a matchbox cover, depicts a Japanese tank rolling over the U.S. and British flags. Shanghai, China, between 1943 and 1945. [From the USHMM special exhibition Flight and Rescue.]

Text translation: "The might of Asia"

Text translation: “Certain victory”
Text translation: “The imperial Japanese forces will be victorious.”
