Fake Japanese invasion map of Australia 1942

A map depicting a faked plan for a Japanese landing in Australia during World War II. The map originated in Australia's legation to Chungking and was rightly not regarded as genuine by the Australian Military though may have been accepted by Australian Prime Minister John Curtin (see the paper ‘“He’s (not) Coming South”: the invasion that wasn’t’ by Peter Stanley, page 5 for background). National Archives of Australia item A7941, 46
