Propaganda Magazine Historical Photos October 1941 Magazine Name: Historical Photos Issue Date: October 1941 (Showa 16) Publication Type: Monthly Magazine Issue Number: No. 141 This is the October 1941 issue of "Historical Photos," a magazine that featured a wide range of photographs, from entertainment to propaganda, which was unusual at the time. The Second Sino-Japanese War and the Nazi war in Europe had already begun, and this issue was published just before the attack on Pearl Harbor, so the content is heavily influenced by the war. The magazine is over 80 years old and shows signs of aging, but it is in relatively good condition. Historical Photos First published in 1913 (Taisho 2). The Tokyo Historical Photo Society used the latest printing equipment to publish it. From January 1943 (Showa 18), only photos "censored by the Ministry of the Army" were published. It ceased publication with the December issue of the same year due to a shortage of materials caused by the worsening war situation. Hitler Japanese Army, Navy Combined Fleet
