Description
An account of the resource
Translation of Japanese text on the reverse:
"Approaching the enemy covertly
After conquering Rangoon the Imperial Japanese army is doing a reverse spear toward northern Burma. Through intense heat attacking the weak points of the British forces creating a “Mandalay Road”, on May 1st we have occupied Mandalay.
The Mandalay Operation was comparable to the Malayn Blitz Campaign in size and range. The Chiang Kai-shek Army supplied with US air force with British Mechanized Unit focused together to create the ABC Combined Force. Creating a defense line around natural formations that they called “impregnable”.
The allied military analyst have all sung that deep Burma is impossible to conquer. Despite that after the fall of Rangoon 53 days ago we have focused out efforts on Mandalay and under 30 days we have manage to split the American, British, Chinese combined forces. A great feat achievable solely by the Imperial Army. For the Chinese army being danced around by the British-Chinese Alliance protecting the Burma Road at all cost, the fall of Mandalay was ironically digging their own grave. Out of all the Chinese troops how many can return to Yunnan Province through the Burma Road?
To our soldiers the “Mandalay Road” was possible because of their hardship and sacrifice, fighting for around 50 days. Unsheathing the bayonets and commanding with Katana’s the white knights charge into the Mandalay defense line. Their sight of charging into the “Mandalay Road” for 800 km was a quite the sight to see."

Photo of a young Japanese woman reviewed by G2 Military Intelligence from US 25th Infantry Division
Description
An account of the resource
Photo of a smiling Japanese woman that was taken from an Imperial Japanese soldier by someone from the US 25th Infantry Division. Stamp on the back of the photo reads "This item has been examined and all military information extracted. Language section, G-2, 25th Inf Div. Date 26 Jan 45 Initials (Unreadable signature). The date is difficult to read but is most likely January 26th 1945 when the division was fighting through central Luzon in the Philippines, moving through Binalonan and occupying Umingan, Lupao, and San Jose, destroying Japanese armor in the area. This photo was likely taken along with a group of letters or other documents from the soldier who was either captured or killed and then turned over to someone in the unit's military intelligence G2 for review. The reviewing G2 soldier was likely a Japanese American assigned to the unit by MIS (Military Intelligence Service). This photo was acquired alone with no material context so like many captured period photos the featured woman will likely never be identified.

Pferdepass (Horse Passport) Occupied Poland
Description
An account of the resource
This is a WWII Pferdepass issued by the Nazi occupation government in Poland. Similar to a Wehrpass for horses it appears that a version of this document is still used today. The document has most of the text written in German with Polish translations underneath. This particular horse lived in Nienadówka which fell under Rzeszów County (Renamed "Reichshof" by the occupying government, both the original Polish name and German name are used side by side here). This was administratively part of the Kraków District for the German occupying forces. The horse was originally registered at the relevant Ministry of Livestock registry in Sokołów. It was first registered on September 11th 1941 and later had a change of ownership June 23rd 1943. The listed owner is likely Michal Groz (or possibly Gróg – handwriting is a bit stylized). The horse appears to have been inspected at least three times by military inspectors in 1942, 1943, and finally in 1945, but there's no corresponding record of military service so for whatever reason either the Wehrmacht did not want it or failed to record its service history in the book. Interestingly, there's a "Lot Price" list on the back cover with corresponding breakdowns in Polish Zloty per piece. This appears to be the cost of the booklet. The average number of horses in the German army during WWII was over 1 million where they served an important logistical function.

Bird's Eye View of Manila
Subject
The topic of the resource
An interesting photo of Manila immediately post war. The back has 1946 handwritten in pencil in the upper left hand corner. There appears to be a US Army motorpool in the lower right of the image with approximately 10 Jeeps, 1 Packard or Buick staff car, and miscellaneous trailers. There is also a convoy of 5 GMC CCKWs, also known as "Jimmy", or G-508 Deuce-and-a-halfs moving down the road. The exact location of this photo and context is unknown, but the significant destruction of the city from the battle of Manila is still readily visible.

The topic of the resource
This is an early war Wehrpaß for a soldier with the rank of Obergefreiter (Private First Class) in the German 3rd Army 11th Infantry Division. He was a conscript who was born to a ethnically German family in Nieder-Ullersdorf (Dolní Oldřiš). This was part of the Sudetenland that was annexed by Germany under the 1938 Munich agreement. He was involved in the invasion of Poland, the invasion of the Netherlands, the battle of Dunkirk, and the battle for France. He was killed at 28 years old during the invasion of Russia under operation Barbarossa. The report from the Volksbund indicates that he died somewhere near “Nowel” which most likely refers to the village now called Nevel (Белор. Невель, Russian/Belarusian: Невель) in Pinsk District, Brest Region, Belarus — a small settlement southwest of Pinsk near the Belarus–Ukraine border (approx. 51.93°N, 25.85°E). His remains are believed to be buried in the war cemetery in Sebezh, Russia.

Attack on a British Tank on the road to Shwedaung, Burma Japanese Propaganda Photo
Subject
The topic of the resource
The photo shows a group of several Japanese soldiers attacking an an American lend-lease M3 Stuart Tank of the British 7th Armoured Brigade that is on fire. What's interesting in the description is the emphasis on the triumph of the heroic Japanese soldier against mechanical and technical superiority. Later war US propaganda leaflets would directly highlight the absurdity of this belief, stating that Japanese fighting spirit could not compensate for lack or ammunition, food, or air superiority. This early war photo goes so far as to celebrate a soldier taking on a tank armed only with a bayonet. Rather than being horrified that their leaders would send soldiers into battle so poorly equipped, the Japanese public was being told to glorify the heroic sacrifices made under such circumstances. Additionally, no mention is made of the Burma Independence Army and their assistance to the Japanese during the battle. British loses are also significantly exaggerated with only 10 tanks and 2 field guns being lost in the battle.
Description
An account of the resource
Translation of Japanese text on the reverse:
"Machine or Spirit, getting go up to enemy tank
The landing and battle of Kota Bharu was unparalleled in our military history. One of our divine solider threw oneself onto the enemy pillbox, confronting the blazing enemy gun ports with flesh and blood. On the Burma front, a solider with only a bayonet grappled with an enemy tank.
No, its not limited to Kota Bharu or Burma. Ever since receiving the order to defeat the US and British forces, the battles of machines and machines have unfolded countless times in Hawaii, the Philippines, the Greater East Asia Sea, and all operational areas advancing under the Imperial Banner. In every battle, victory has consistently been on outside.
A deadly struggle between solider to solider- once again the song of victory was with the imperial army. The battle between machines and humans-once again, facing the life-and-death determination of Imperial Army soldiers, their unwavering loyalty and remarkable spirit it was difficult to counter enemy’s mechanical strength. Breaking conventional wisdom and surpassing science, the fiery spirit of attack overwhelmed the power of machines.
This is also one of those scenes—a valuable close-up attack on tanks captured by the camera of the head office correspondent near Shwedaung in northern Burma.
Thanks to the brave battle of these soldiers, the Harada Unit was awarded a letter of commendation from the Iida Commander-in-Chief of the Burma Front. On October 13th, they achieved the honor of being recognized for their distinguished service.
After the capture of Rangoon, the Harada Unit reversed its course and advanced to Shwedaung on the morning of March 19th. On the following 30th day, they blocked the retreat route of the enemy's force. Following an intense battle lasting tens of hours, they captured and annihilated the British mechanized unit consisting of around 60 to 70 tanks, armored vehicles, over ten artillery pieces, and around a hundred automobiles."
