In the context of war, a leaflet is a form of propaganda that is dropped in enemy-controlled territory to incite fear, coerce surrender, or turn the populace against their leadership. Leaflets are used as a form of psychological warfare, and they are dropped from balloons or planes. During World War II, special bombs were developed to disperse airborne leaflets. The distribution of airborne leaflet propaganda was used by both Allied and Axis forces in the Second World War. The leaflets were used to attempt to alter the behavior of the enemy forces and the populace. The Japanese military sprinkled airborne leaflets during the Pacific War to promote surrender and lose fighting spirit. The leaflets were designed by manga artists to attract the attention of people who find leaflets. The Germans also used propaganda leaflets against units of VI Corps during World War II. The leaflets were occasionally dropped from airplanes but were more often fired by means of a special artillery or mortar projectile.
