DEL PRADO MEN AT WAR: SOLDIER JAPANESE ARMY 1944/45 AND BOOKLET

By 1945 there were 6 millions soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army. By the start of the Second World War most of the Japanese Army was stationed in China. From 1942 onwards, Japanese soldiers were sent to fight in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Burma, Dutch East Indies and Malaya. From 1943 the Japanese soldiers lacked supplies with as many as two-thirds of all Japanese casualties caused by starvation, illness and disease.


Japanese soldier is in new unused unopened condition and I bought the booklet in used condition to go with the soldier as it has a lot of interesting information. There is a dent in the bottom of the outer plastic cover but the quality and condition of the soldier inside is not affected.
