Apparently rare footage of the japanese surrender, 1945
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v...layer_embedded
Japanese surrender, Sept. 2, 1945 This film is believed to have never been seen before, only shots of the surrender were known . If you are a history buff, you will enjoy this. General MacArthur's voice is a rarity in this old film clip. ACTUAL VOICE OF GENERAL MACARTHUR NEVER BEEN SHOWN TO GENERAL PUBLIC BEFORE . Japanese Surrender- Amazing Footage Sept 2, 1945.... Interesting the other signers to the document, from New Zealand/Australia to Europe/Russia . This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to MacArthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. We always saw the "stills" but never the film itself.

That is utterly brilliant. Those old Warships are something impressive to behold.

"Chief of the Japanese Surrender Cabinet"
I'd leave that one off my CV if I was him.

Re: Apparently rare footage of the japanese surrender, 1945
I liked MacArthurs words "with justice and tolerance".
Great bit of histroical film. Got some goose bumps when he said "these proceedings are now....closed". |

Great find! Awesome film!

Meant nothing? It was WWII. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from around the world gave their lives so you could be free, have a job and ride your sv when you like. 400,000 from the UK alone. Not to mention the nearly 100,000 civillian casualties. Next Remembrance Day relate your feelings to a soldier and ask him if there's anything he thinks he can do about it.
