Japanese Surrender - Amazing Footage Sept 2, 1945.

Very moving considering what happened prior to this event...

This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japs to McArthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. Actual voice of the General. Never been shown to the general public before. We always saw the "stills" but never the film itself.

An important piece of history.

That was very good. I've seen excerpts of the film, but never the entire newsreel. I never realized the MacArthur gave the first pen to General "Skinny" Wainwright.
