Japanese WWII training manual?

[Danger]

Hi Guys,

Can I please get some help identifying this book?
It's full of diagrams and fold out pages of tanks and planes.

Is there any way of dating it? Is it WWII?

Thanks,

Danger

That is a June 1941 updated version of the Hand Book on Soviet Russian Forces, explaining their tactics, weapons, uniforms, etc.

Nick, I don't recall if this was addressed before concerning this booklet: Was the primary audience for this booklet the veterans who might be called up again to face off against the Soviets? It looks like the entity that published the booklet was the "Time Expired" veterans org. as opposed to the Ministry of the Army.

The reservist's association was active in publishing several manuals. They also issued a full translation of the 1938 Russian Infantry Manual.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for your help.
The tanks and planes have stars on them, I should've guessed...

Thanks, Nick, I will have to keep a look out for those other manuals.
