These Viet Cong surrender leaflets were dropped into the Vietnamese countryside during 1965-6 for two reasons: (1) to convince members of the Viet Cong to give up their guerrilla ways and to return to a productive life in their villages and (2) to persuade villagers to support the war against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. These multi-themed leaflets show photos of North Vietnamese P.O.W.’s decorating their barracks and a soccer game in action. The underlying message is that of ending the war.
