Summary

  • During the Korean War (1950-53), each side employed psychological warfare strategies to try to convince the soldiers of the other side to lay down their arms, surrender to the enemy, or to spread confusion and decrease morale. Another aim of psychological warfare was to discourage local civilians from aiding the army of the others by providing food or billeting, or to discredit the enemy in the eyes of civilians. This could be done through radio broadcats, loudspeakers, or word of mouth, but the most common method was dropping leaflets or flyers on territory held by the enemy. The flyers could either be dropped from airplanes in specially modified bomb casings, shot from heavy artillery on the ground, or by balloons.
