Good Day All,
I just signed up on this forum and am asking if anyone could please help me with the translation of this propaganda leaflet.
I also acquired a map case with some papers I found inside. Can anyone please translate this for me.
I greatly appreciate any help that is provided.
 
Sorry about that here are the pictures.

The weekly calendar schedule says Showa 19 which is 1944. If you don't get any takers here, you can probably get it done cheaply at fiverr.com.
 
Yes, this is a bit much to do "on the fly". Just as a rough rule of thumb, I've translated documents like this for .25/character. The propaganda leaflet is maybe 300 characters, so its about a $75 job. But you can get guys to do this cheaper. There was a site that had a collection of propaganda leaflets already translated. You'd have to dig around on the internet for it, but he had a fairly comprehensive collection of these items, and they were all translated. So no need to pay a guy like me to do this if someone has already done the work and posted it on the internet.
 
I GOOGLED "websites the translate Japanese WWII documents" and a lot of info popped up there that might help you in your search.
 
Feel likes its been ages since I could be helpful here. Couldn't find a handy government translation in my sources and I don't own this leaflet personally so haven't translated it. Which brings up the fact I'm in the market for this leaflet so I'm conflicted as providing more information means potential higher prices. However I'll potentially go against my own interests, OWI Pacific - Six Decades Ago, this link has the leaflet with a translation. You'll have to scroll down quite a bit but it's leaflet 2041.

That might be https://www.pacificwarleaflets.com/, at least that's the only website for this genre of leaflets. Other sites are more general propaganda.

Dentanmono,
Thank you for posting the link, it was very helpful and very kind of you to do so. I just acquired this leaflet recently and it is the first one that I have found. I paid $71.00 US for it.

No worries, I had wrote in mildly jokingly however tone is hard to convey in internet comments haha More than happy to help. Its an OWI leaflet or Office of War Information (Odds are its out of the Honolulu OWI Office), 2000 series which designates for mainland Japan, the artist is more than likely Frances Blakemore (In my opinion %100, I just don't have a direct source to trace the connection).
The U.S. made hundreds of millions of these leaflets yet most folks have no idea they exist. Pricing for leaflets is a complicated topic, prices vary dramatically but $71 isn't a ripoff. It'd be towards the top of what I'd pay for a solo leaflet but if you were comfortable with that price then its a good price.

As for your other document, I don't have too much interest in translating it to be bluntly honest. My focus in on leaflets. However supposing you're the same person who posted on firearms of the rising sun, there's a member (Initials, RD).there who has advertised free translations in the board member expertise sticky, (He's also made a separate thread some months ago offering his services). You might want to message him directly.
