Welcome to 45th NKPA Division (back)

"It grieves us to think that it may be the turn again of the brave soldiers of your unit to suffer from the cold, bad food and the well-known destructive power of the UN sea of fire. Those few of you from the 91st Regiment who remain know only too well how deadly it is. They probably remember the time they attacked these very positions and suffered as only the defeated do. 500 brave Koreans died that day. Think of it, soldiers of the 45th Division. Ask the vets of the 91st Regiment and get an idea of what it may be like - but don't forget your own sacred duty to Korea. It is to re-main alive to rebuild your Fatherland when the war ends! Read the attached facts concerning your comforts in the leaflet showing UN's obligations under the Geneva Convention. Read the UN's peace aims which are also attached for your convenience. And hold on to the Good Con-duct Pass which accompanies these leaflets. Above all, study the instructions below with great care to learn how to REMAIN ALIVE TO REBUILD KOREA Here's how to escape and come to the UN lines: 1. During the day select in your mind a hiding place well forward of your front lines and in the direction of the nearest United Nations position. For your security be sure this hiding place affords protective cover and concealment from your own unit. 2, During the night, at the first opportunity, break away from your unit and move to your previously selected hiding place. 3, Remain concealed there until the first light of day. 4. Then dispose of your weapon, and in the light of day come to the UN lines. Brink your wounded comrades with you. 5. As you approach UN lines raise your arms as high in the air overhead as possible with fingers widespread. UN troops are expecting you--- they will treat you well--- and you will be moved immediately to the rear where warmth and safety are awaiting you. WELCOME 45th DIVISION Accept our hospitality and REMAIN ALIVE TO REBUILD KOREA!" - translation of Korean text taken from documentation sheet. ; Fliers (Printed matter); 25 x 20 cm. ; "EUSAK 8225" ; Title taken from documentation sheet.
