At first read of the article, I actually found it hilarious that leaflets were being used as a form of weaponry. It seems petty to think a leaflet discouraging someone to fight was actually considered, at the time, to be a strong enough force that defense classes and other defensive measures were taken to shelter the soldiers.
After further thought I realized that the leaflet tactic was no different than Modern day news and video releases from our current-day "enemies." It's merely a defense to get to the other party before they get you. From my personal experience the most I can relate it to is Slambooks from my Middle School days.
*A slambook is a book where people pose questions, normally about specific people, and others who receive the book write their opinions on that person.
