- Propaganda leaflet dropped on fighting American soldiers. The cover shows an image of young boys singing in a Christmas choir next to a Christmas tree. The back describes how the men fighting the war have been breaking the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." It reminds them how even choirboys get sick of fighting and eventually all start to sing in unison, and can't the men on the front learn a lesson from these boys?
