"kill japs, kill japs, kill more japs



A sign for the incoming ships at the US Navy base on Tulagi, in the South Pacific.


ADMIRAL HALSEY says
"Kill japs, kill japs, KILL MORE JAPS!"

You will help kill the yellow bastards
if YOU DO YOUR JOB WELL


Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey, Jr., (1882 – 1959)


These billboards "were at most American bases"

  1. Was he inspired by Soviet poetry (Ilya Ehrenburg)?

    The date of the quote might help.

    1. October 1942 apparently.

      The Zionist Ehrenburg was perhaps inspired by Halsey, but more probably by his rabbi.
