Description
Flyer published by the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army dropped over American and British soldiers during the Korean War encouraging the troops to surrender and support a world peace pact, approx. 10 x 7 inches. Graphic on obverse of a dead Korean person amongst a destroyed landscape titled, 'Even Hitler the civilized savage will shrink from such barbarism as this!'. Verso has an appeal from prisoners of war imprisoned by the Korean Army to the United States, the Soviet Union, China, the United Kingdom, and France to sign a peace pact and end the Korean War, 'We the undersigned prisoners of war...send this voluntary appeal directly to the five great powers...to sign a peace pact at the first opportunity to preserve world peace...We feel that time must not be lost in the signing of a peace treaty...with the understanding that any one of the above which refuses to attend conferences, for the purpose of constructing a peace pact, is to be considered a government with aggressive intentions.' The flyer then lists 30 printed signatures of prisoners of war. Flyer faded, slight damage and loss on edges, minor tears, minor loss on folds, and mailing folds.
