A Japanese postcard showing the destruction of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse.
The translation reads;
(bottom of card) "Sea Battle off Malaya 10 December 1941"
(left side) "Our Sea Eagles deliver a crushing blow to the main strength of the English Far Eastern Fleet, Prince of Wales and Repulse"

The (Osaka) postmark reads: "Great East Asia War 1st anniversary" Note what
appears to be the silhouettes of a battleship (complete with pagoda mast) and a tank on the postmark.

The small writing next to the picture reads: "Navy Ministry permit No. 2806", presumably some kind of censor's approval.

The aircraft depicted are Mitsubishi Type 96 attack bombers, ironically enough already obsolescent by late 1941.
