[ARC5] [Vintage-Military-RADAR] Japanese Surrender Film

[Gaston Dessornes]

Hello;

"Never been shown to the general public before ????" .
Not quite true.... I  DO remember this film being shown in France in 1948 after French general Leclec, one of the signatory was killed in a air crash in Africa ! 

This clip is well known by any WWII historians.

Regards

Gd.

  1945 - Japanese surrender - This is truly a "keeper".

  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 McArthur's voice is
  a rarity in these old film clips Japanese Surrender- Amazing Footage Sept
  2, 1945.

  This is a 'must see' for the WWII history buff or anyone interested in
  history. 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
  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

  I'm not so sure about the hype that this has not been seen before, but
  it's worth a watch anyway,
