Im 75 now and was born May 10 1943 and I still remember seeing the news when we went to the theater ( shows what ever you call it ) You have to remember we did not have TV then so it was the only way we say the news .The part I liked best was always the solders marching at the start of it .

[@lizbethglickman2725]

OMG! Finally after years of searching...@3.30 minutes start surrender of Yamashita, "The Tiger of Malaya," and the taking of swords...that's MY DAD ON THE RIGHT (sadly only his back...but I have the documentation!) If anyone finds more on this surrender.....

[@BelloBudo007]

I'm happy for you mate. You must feel rightly very proud of your Father. It must have been truly amazing for those attending these surrender ceremonies. For them finally after years and years of war and the loss of friends, the end is near.

What a great feeling for Wainright that justice was served looking at Yamashita

[@phtevlin]

The Emperor Hirohito knew that he was the only one with the authority to order the Japanese warriors to lay down their arms. In addition, he dispatched members of the Imperial Family to the vast stretches of the empire to enforce this order.

[@garthhaver3513]

Wainwright still looks gaunt. His thoughts are probably if he had a gun he would shoot Yamashita right then an there.

[@None-zc5vg]

[@eddted2876]

When that Japanese-American officer ordered Yamishita to stand up.

They soon bounced back, with the encouragement of the always-pro-fascist U.S. 'élite'.

[@davidreidenberg9941]

Does anyone know if all this occurred before or after the general surrender.

[@TSUTENKAKU007]

My father landed near Wakayama prefecture in Japan with occupation troops. He then patrol the Osaka area as a MP and told me arrested many Japanese for not obeying US occupation rules. That time MPs ruled the city.

[@ImperialistRunningDo]

Why wasn't Truman at the funeral? Truman, the man who FIRED MacArthur? And Eisenhower... you do know that Ike served under MacArthur, right? Ike was treated very badly by his boss (read up on the Bonus Army) and I don't think the two men cared for each other. Douglas MacArthur wasn't an easy man to be friends with.

[@Theywaswrong]

Douglas MacArthur was also not a good tactician. Growing up as a history nut, I wondered why he was fired by Trumann. The more you read and learn about his abilities, he was an opportunist, a publicity hound and then understand all the years that lead up to his firing, not one single event.

[@ImperialistRunningDo]

@@Theywaswrong the public loved him. I do not know why. I will give him credit for successfully rebuilding postwar Japan. That's as much as I can say that is favorable.

[@None-zc5vg]

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

Thank you!

[@Theywaswrong]

There are rules of war. Seems like we never have a war where the rules are at least used as a guide. I wonder if so many trials for war crimes would have taken place in the absence of treatment of POWs and civilians in occupied territories. The Nazis should have know that an assassination of one of their occupiers was not cause for or justification for killing innocents in retribution. They started a war, they should know that risk was resistance. Just as we see in Ukraine. Civilians will always suffer and die in a war, but the intentional targeting of civilian areas is simply a crime. It only hardens the resistance and sets the stage for being tried as criminals IF you lose the war.

[@jman5390]

God help us if we go to war again. Drugs and laziness/spoiledness has ruined our young people of today.

[@Theywaswrong]

A poll in early 2022 found that almost half of all generation Z and millennials would flee the country if the US was invaded. Which says while they work for what they have been lead to believe that they are working for an open, liberal better country, they would run rather than defend their new world. Now that is sad no matter which side of center you are on.

[@jman5390]

@@Theywaswrong you are so right.

[@capie44]

Vice Admiral Chuichki Mara; Lieutenant General Shunzaburo Magikura, and Rear Admiral Aihare are the Japanese delegates that accepted surrender. Where did "General" Inoue come into play? .

[@chinfoomaa]

Japanese always make the excuse that they treated their POWs with cruelty because they are contemptous of those who surrendered.But when their circumstances became desperate and surrender is the best option,they too surrendered in droves and expect mercy.What hypocrites!

[@jamesruddy9264]

When circumstances became desperate they just killed themselves, and they never, ever, asked for mercy. They surrendered in droves at the end of the war because their officers ordered them to because the Emperor said to surrender.

[@sgtbma1]

Jimmy Maa good point !

[@sgtbma1]

James Ruddy , yes James , but I think he's could be speaking of the officers and emperor that did ! They could have just hunkered down outside the cities and fought on .

[@jamesruddy9264]

The Japanese were not independent thinkers, were very hierarchical in structure and nature, and blindly obeyed any orders without the slightest hesitation, and the Emperor was a living god to them so they did whatever he said to do. When he told them to surrender, that's what they did, and it's just that simple. Though there were who didn't surrender and go back to Japan but joined with Chairman Mao's communist forces and stayed in China.

[@sgtbma1]

James Ruddy ok ,point taken Jim ! When I look now how they were humbled and occupied , I almost feel.there pain , But then I think how it would have probably been a much , much harsher consequence for us , had we been the ones unconditionally surrendering.

[@lewiswalter2478]

Great that you saw your heroic Allied relative during the Japanese surrender. You should be proud of that!

[@alanpeterson6224]

And then we gave it all back to them.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

At least we should have kept Iwo Jima. After all the American blood shed to take that island, now that the Japanese have taken back control, they only allow a few Americans visit the island once a year. I say, "Screw Japan."

[@theprof73]

And thank God we did. Germany and Japan are strong model democracies today and important allies. They understand and appreciate the gift they received at the cost of American blood.

[@Theywaswrong]

The days of colonialism were and are over....a lesson from the 20th century that Russia has refused to understand. The fact is, without the decades of European occupation by the Soviets, the decades of threats, weapons development and dreams of conquest, there would be no NATO, no arms race, no stockpiles of nukes because there would be no threats of invasion...just like we see now in Ukraine. Sure we gave it back, as it should be.

[@rino19ny]

Wonder what Gen. Wainwright was feeling at that time. Yamashita was there when they surrendered Bataan I think..

[@geoffdearth8575]

Percival should never have been in command of the Australian troops. He had no idea of the Australian fighting troops and was placing to much trust in the guffawing Sandhurst "officer class".

[@chrispowell6992]

Took all of 76 years to throw all this away. So sad.

[@None-zc5vg]

They were minded to throw it all away from Day One: the American elite wanted their fascist counterparts kept in place in Germany and Japan to keep down post-war socialist movements. Read about John McCloy in Germany, a former lawyer in the States for the German I.G.Farben chemicals conglomerate: McCloy and his mates went light on punishing war-criminals like Krupp and Flick with the excuse that as free men they could build up the German economy so it could help resist the threat of the Reds.

Comments on MacArthur interesting. Truman couldn't tolerate Patton for his horrendous treatment of Holocaust survivors in the DP camps. Patton got himself demoted.

[@Theywaswrong]

????? Where'd you read that bit of info? He was demoted for sure, but for other purposes. And point of interest, Ike NEVER served in battle, never actually was present on a field of battle. Bradley was stuck in the middle with an outrageous but excellent battlefield commander and the Allied Commander who had never experienced an actual war.

[@rsuriyop]

Who helped create imperial Japan even to begin with? It was Commodore Perry, the *American,* who in 1853 forced Japan at literal gunpoint to open up it's doors to the rest of the world. Had Japan simply been left alone, they would have never been involved in either WWI or WWII _at all._ Seems this important historical tidbit has been glossed over in American history classes.

[@Theywaswrong]

@@rsuriyop You're trying hard to find a way to excuse Japanese behavior before and during WWII. You don't know WHAT Japan would have done if left alone, but their invasion and crimes in occupied China gives a truer picture than your fantasy excuses. Go google the Rape of Nanking. Google what the Japanese did to the civilians in the Philippines, especially as they retreated from the country. No, left alone they would have continued their murderous aggressions. You only have to look at the 1930's history to know this. You are dead wrong.

[@treystephens6166]

Japan 🇯🇵 wanted to be like the USA 🇺🇸 & UK 🇬🇧 but they messed up by slaughtering everyone.
