1943réf. 105501943. War Department. Japanese: A Guide to the Spoken Language 1943 was prepared for American military personnel during World War II as the United States expanded operations across the Pacific. Rather than anticipating an imminent conquest of Japan the guide belongs to the War Department's broader wartime program of practical language instruction for servicemen operating in regions where Japanese was spoken or where communication with Japanese military personnel and civilians might be required. Its publication in June 1943 places it during the campaigns that followed Guadalcanal and preceded the major Central Pacific offensives of 1943-1944 when language training had direct military value for interrogation field communication occupation duties and contact with local populations. War Department. Japanese: A Guide to the Spoken Language. Washington D.C.: War Department June 19 1943. Approximately 60 pages. 4 x 5 inches. Paperback. Marked "for military personnel only." The compact manual provides basic spoken Japanese for servicemen and incorporates cartoon illustrations to support instruction and memorization. Its small format suited field use and places the booklet among the portable language aids produced for American troops during the war. The restriction "for military personnel only" identifies the booklet as an official wartime instructional publication rather than a commercial phrase book. Produced more than two years before Japan's surrender in August 1945 it records the War Department's effort to give American servicemen functional language skills while combat operations against Japan were still underway. The earlier suggestion that the guide was intended for B-52 crews is chronologically impossible: the Boeing B-52 did not enter service until the 1950s. Minor expected handling to the paperback format; otherwise very good condition. unknown books
