PTSD?
7,500 Sky Troops.
Typhoons Ruth and Susan both went through western Japan at this time, one after the other, which would have blocked any planes flying from Okinawa, Ie Shima, or Iwo Jima to Honshu. That probably set everyone back a few days, which would explain, among other things, why the surrender signing was on 9/2 rather than 8/31.
Incidentally, it will happen after HJS ends his course, but 30 planes flying 900 liberated POWs from Manila to Okinawa were downed by Typhoon Ursula, some time around 9/10; I don't know any more about the incident.

I had an uncle who was a paraplegic from Iwo Jima. He did everything, wheel chair basketball, hunting and fishing, worked jobs, invented a system so he could drive. Life was hard both before and after the war for him, but he was a hero to all the nephews.
As I get holder I experience some of the symptoms though I was never in the service. Life is hard sometimes but there is no doubt the war had an effect.
It is a COMPLEX thing. Some got stronger because of battle. In some, battle brought out what existed in their personality. In some cases battle caused it.
The reference says that only 35% saw battle.
In WWI many officers behind the line got shell shock. Interesting that in WWI it was thought that exploding shells caused a concussion in the brain, thus the confusion as to cause.
There are many reports that say that suicide among the military is no different than the rate in civilian population. But because it is military, it gets more attention?
I do not want to discount this. Reading the above and the images and experiences imprinted on young developing men had to leave a life time effect.
This doesn't necessarily mean the other 65% didn't "see" what the 35% "saw." Y'all remember my father was a radio mechanic working on the Superforts on Guam, so he was never in any of the battles. But the things he experienced--the Japanese soldiers who were still fighting on the island while he was there and what they did, the conditions of the bombers and those who flew in them, along with the soldiers coming back from the battles, and finally the trepidation on realizing his likely part in the seemingly inevitable invasion--all combined to affect his approach to postwar life, so that I could see it in him, a generation later.
Would it be safe to assume that the formal surrender on the Missouri got pushed back to the second of Sept. because of the weather?
The radio transmissions from the Japanese to MacArthur seem reasonable enough, dealing with the realities of the practicalities of fulfilling their end of things.
This made me think about the differences between the logistics of the surrenders of Germany and Japan. Germany surrendered in seven days after the death of Hitler, while Japan surrendered in 17 days after the rescript of Hirohito. I can think of three differences off the top of my head, and it would be interesting if others here would be willing to point out any others...
1) There wasn't much left to surrender by the time Hitler died; Germany was essentially overrun, so outside of the U-boats and a few Nazi units elsewhere, it wouldn't have taken long to get the surrender set up. By contrast, Japan still had a far-flung military presence, often without supply lines and without communication (remember, the last Japanese soldier surrendered in 1974), so it's not surprising that organizing the surrender would take longer.
2) By the beginning of May, there weren't many Nazi leaders left: Doenitz was the Fuhrer, but all the rest of the inner circle was either dead (Hitler, Goebbels) or heading for the hills (Himmler, Goering), so it was easy to point to Doenitz and make him make the decisions necessary. By contrast, all of Japan's leadership was fully involved and fully available, so it took the better part of a week to assemble a government that could surrender without the Emperor himself actually participating openly in the surrender, plus going through all the nemawashi of getting everyone on board. One of the effects of this, BTW, was that Japan's occupation went far more smoothly than Germany's--not only because of the lack of Soviet involvement (thank God), but because with extremely few exceptions, the Japanese co-operated with the occupation from beginning to end.
3) August is typhoon month along the ring of fire, just as it is hurricane month in the Atlantic, and there seem to have been more typhoons than usual in 1945--the fact that they had already gotten as far as U(rsula) by early September shows this. The only problem with Europe's weather in the spring of 1945 was that there was more rain than usual, which slowed down the Brit/US invasion from the west, if not the Soviet invasion from the east.
That's stunning! We seldom hear anymore about planes being downed by typhoons, etc. I presume it's because weather forecasting has improved greatly since then, especially with satellite imagery.
Oddly enough, I have not been able to find any information about this; one would think that it would be as well-covered in the internet as, say, the USS Indianapolis tragedy. I'm hoping someone else here will be more successful in searching.
I am thinking American logistics. There will be large numbers of dignitaries and high ranking brass on the Missouri; thus it was essential to have American military control over the surrounding region to prevent any "hot-head" from attempting a kamikaze attack or fire guns at the ship. To do that we had to move a large number of ships, planes and support units to Tokyo. It would take some time to do the staff work to redirect missions and get the troops and all their stuff on the ground before ceremony can take place. Because of the devastation of the region, we couldn't local source anything, and would have to stretch our logistical tail to Tokyo and Sagami Bays.
There was a worse prisoner of war disaster:
Communism is/was a tumor on mankind.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940%E2%80%9349_Pacific_typhoon_seasons#Typhoon_Ursula
That's the only relevant return from a Google search for "POWs downed by Typhoon Ursula," and it looks like very similar wording to yours, suggesting common sourcing.
Peculiar, indeed.
Then again, the Indianapolis had several features promoting its prominence:
* it delivered the Bomb
* it involved incompetence at best among those alerted by its SOS
* it was gory and chilling and horrific
* it was famously treated in Jaws

Augustów Roundup In Top-Secret NKVD Documents
August 24, 1945 Report from Viktor Semyonovich Abakumov to Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria:
Decrypt [Decipher] and deliver immediately
Via Cipher:
[Seals: “Central FSB Archive of the Russian Federation”, “Declassified”. Central FSB Archive of the Russian Federation]
I report that I have ordered the deputy head of the Main “Smersh” Directorate, Major General Gorgonov, and head of the Chief Counterintelligence Unit with the 3rd Byelarussian Front, Lt. General Zelenin, to personally inspect, in place, the arms, ammunition and explosive materials confiscated during the operation to liquidate gangs in the Augustow Forests, carried out by units of the Red Army.
Today, Comrades Gorgonov and Zelenin reported that during the operation, units of the 50th Army of the 3rd Byelarussian Front confiscated the following arms, ammunition and explosive materials.
Grenade launchers - 11 among them 52mm - 1 [one] 55mm - 4 and 120mm - all German made Machine guns - 31, among them heavy machine guns - 1 light [machine gun] German made - 28 and, light Russian made - 2 Automatic pistols - 31 among them German - 14 Russian - 17 Rifles - 89 and 1 [with] a sawed off [barrel] also German - 28 and 1 - [with]a sawed off [barrel] Polish - 17 and Russian - 44 Hand guns and revolvers - 4 including Belgian-made - 3 Russian - 1 Mines - 204 including German - 34 Russian 120mm - 110 and 80mm - 60 Projectiles - 76mm Russian type - 66 Grenades - 134 including German - 71 Russian - 63 Rifle bullets and [ammunition for] automatic weapons - 27,024, including German 7,279, and Russian 19,645 Ammunition for PTR [armor-piercing ] of Russian type - 250 TNT charges of German Type - 62 Explosive materials of Russian make - 78kg Bottles containing incendiary mixture (KS) - 50 German radio-transmitters - 1 Bickford-type rope of German make - 73 meters.
The aforementioned weapons, ammunition, and explosives materials were confiscated during the arrests of the bandits, as well as stores and hiding places discovered in the forests during searches of [various] localities.
During the investigations it was determined, that the bandits gathered Russian type weapons on battlefields.
To that effect, the arrested gang-leader named S.N Krupinski, nom de guerre “Grom”, born in 1906 in Augustow, and of Polish nationality, who was apprehended along with his 50-men gang, revealed during the subsequent interrogations, that members of his gang collected Russian-type weapons and ammunition in the Augustow Forests in the area(s) where the Red Army fought the Germans.
Aside from the German, Polish and Russian weapons and ammunition, no other foreign-made weapons, ammunition, or explosives were confiscated. During the combing operations carried out by the Red Army in the Augustow Forests, 52 bunkers were discovered and 15 concrete anti-artillery shelters, as well as 439 makeshift dugouts, and underground shelters; these, in the estimate of the command, were German, and were already built in 1939. Some of these structures were being used by the Home Army.
On orders from the military command, all bunkers, anti-artillery shelters, dugouts, and underground shelters, were blown up by our military units.
I am reporting in particular about the issue of the artillery. This issue was particularly thoroughly investigated by Comrades Gorgonow and Zelenin, who concluded that during the operations in the Augustow Forests, neither the units of the Red Army, nor “Smersh” confiscated any type of artillery pieces.
Based on the foregoing, we should emphasize that during the initial stages of the operation, the Military Command of the 50th Army had at its disposal unverified and preliminary information, suggesting that the gangs active in the Augustow Forests, had in fact at their disposal, artillery pieces; during the later stages these reports turned out to be inaccurate. At some point, the Military Command had reported about this to the General Staff of the 3rd Byelarussian Front.

Unsolved Communist Crimes: The Augustów Roundup in July, 1945 (Pol. “Obawa Augustowska w lipcu 1945.”)
“O earth, do not conceal our blood, so our cries never cease ...” Job 16:18
The Augustów roundup was one of the most bloody mass murders committed by the Soviets on Polish citizens, after the end of the II World War. Despite that fact however, neither school books, nor encyclopedias, even mention this tragic episode in the post-World-War II history of Poland. The whereabouts of those who perished during this roundup are unknown, as is unknown their place of burial.
In July, 1945 the Red Army units supported by the communist UB (Urzstwa - Polish secret police), and MO (pol. Milicja Obywatelska - The People’s Milicia) conducted a grand-scale pacification in the Puszcza Augustówska [eng. Augustów Primeval Forest], and in the surrounding area. The Soviet forces combed through the forests and villages, arresting all those suspected of collaboration with the Polish Underground.
During the course of the roundup, nearly 2,000 individuals were detained. Some of those returned home after being interrogated and tortured, while 600 were sent to an unknown location, never to be heard from again. This is their story.
At the outset of the II World War, the Suwaki and Augustów counties fell under control of two occupiers: the Soviets, who established hegemony over the entire county of Suwaki, along with a portion of the Augustów County, and the Nazis, who reigned over a greater portion of the Augustów County. Right from the outset of this dual occupation, the Polish population residing in this area, began to form underground organizations to resist the occupiers.
Many armed underground organizations, such as Temporary Council of Suwaki Region (Pol. Tymczasowa Rada Ziemi Suwalskiej), the Pilsudski’s Legion (Pol. Legion Pisudskiego), the Near-Niemen Legion (pol. Legion Nadniemenski), and National Revival (pol. Odrodzenie Narodowe) sprang into action, and ultimately united under the banner of ZWS, the Association of Armed Struggle (pol. Zwizek Walki Zbrojnej). The underground soldiers didn’t let the occupiers rest.
“During the time I was stationed in Augustów, we lost around 50 of our people […] the Poles were making it [the occupation] really difficult for us. It was real war.” – writes in his memoirs secretary of the Regional Committee of Belarus, which at that time (commonly known as the First Soviet Occupation), occupied this area.
After the Soviet-German war began, the infrastructure of the patriotic underground became unified under the standard of the Home Army, and was known in this area, as the Polish Insurrection Union (pol. Polski Zwizek Powstaczy). In the beginning of Spring, 1944, the Home Army had nearly 5 thousand sworn members.
During the operation “Tempest” (pol. “Burza”), in Spring, 1944, the Home Army units had to, in large part, reveal their identities, a fact which after the Germans are ejected from the North-Eastern part of Poland, and are replaced by the Soviets, will have tragic consequences. The Home Army soldiers were arrested, and either sent to the East, or forcibly conscripted into the communist Polish People’s Army (pol. Ludowe Wojsko Polskie). These repressions considerably undermined the strength of the underground infrastructure. Only in Spring, 1945, the soldiers who hid in the forests, began to reorganize themselves into new units, and to engage the new communist regime. As a result of these activities, in the Suwaki county, the democratic underground units destroyed seventeen, out of eighteen MO (Pol. abbr. People’s Militia) stations, and from among fourteen rural municipalities (pol. Gmina) created by the communists, only two functioned. Furthermore, twenty three death sentences against the communist collaborators, and dedicated “helpers” of the new “people’s government” were carried out. Equally active were units conducting activities in the Augustów county. The success of the Home Army aggravated the Polish communists, and their Soviet masters, particularly, since the Soviet Red Army, and the NKVD (Russ. The People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs Narodnyy komissariat vnutrennikh del, who took active part against the underground units, and the population at large, became more frequent targets of the democratic underground. After the capture of Berlin and the end of the World War II, a much larger number of personnel from the UB, NKVD, and the Red Army was dispatched to conduct activities against the democratic underground. These activities were conducted mainly by the Soviets, and at the “request” of the provincial, and county “governments”.
“The Roundup of Death”
The largest “cleanup” operation against the democratic armed underground, was conducted in July, 1945, and thus, became known as either the “July Roundup”, or as the “Augustów” Roundup, as it took place in and around Augustów area. The operation was conducted mainly by the Soviet forces, including the NKWD, Smersh (Soviet acronym: “SMERt’ SHpionam” - Eng. Death To the Spies) and the soldiers of the 3rd Belarusian Front. The functionaries of the UB, MO, and local informers played the role of the betrayer Judas, pointing out individuals who should be arrested, serving as guides, and as interpreters, during horrific interrogations that ensued. The communist forces which took part in the roundup, amounted to nearly fifteen thousand men. The methods, and circumstances, under which arrests took place varied. The Home Army soldiers, and individuals sympathetic to them who lived in the cities, were arrested either during evenings, or at night. The inhabitants of the villages on the other hand, were dragged out of their homes, snatched from country roads, or fields.
In the village of Jaziewo, for example, all villagers were called for a meeting, and all those who showed up were arrested. Many Home Army soldiers were arrested during firefights and skirmishes that took place during the roundup. Witold Zurawski, a Home Army Soldier from Jastrzebna, near Sztabin, reminisces:
“They encircled the entire village, and there were thousands of them – the Soviet henchmen marched, as if they were attacking in a line formation. They ordered us to exit our homes, so they could check our identity papers. After that they took all of us, men and some women, and they raced us to the barn, where we were held for two weeks. I had a feeling, that I am not going to make it, and when one day they took us out, I jumped into the crop field, and I was gone. The other villagers told me later, that after two weeks, the UB men wearing plain clothes arrived. They brought with them lists [with names] of people who were to be arrested. Those arrested were transported to Sztabin, and from there, they were taken to some unknown place. They vanished into thin air, [never to be seen again].”
Those detained were jailed in various places, and often subjected to horrible tortures. From among 1,900 to 2,000 arrested, around 600 people were selected from the list, which was prepared earlier by the communist collaborators. Among those selected, were women, and 15, or 16-years old boys. According to the information obtained from the witnesses, these individuals were placed on trucks and transported towards the Soviet boarder. From that moment on, their whereabouts are unknown. Today, one thing is certain – they were murdered on orders issued by the Soviets, and their remains are located somewhere on the territory of the former USSR. The search for the missing was undertaken by their families immediately after the roundup, but the trail ended at the selection camps, where they were held for a short time.
Ironically, after retirement, Szostak became a “folk artist” with “artistic interests” in such subject matters as “religion” and “patriotism”.
The villagers from the rural municipality called Giby, were first to ask about the fate of the missing, as during 1945, 109 individuals were taken away, and among those, 90 were detained during the roundup. In November, 1945, the Giby municipality sent a delegation to Warsaw in order to locate their missing neighbors, friends, and family members. Not surprisingly , they were not given any information. During the Stalinist times, any and all information about the roundup was a taboo, and bringing this subject up, could end tragically for those who dared to ask. During the following years, the subject of the “July Roundup”, was mentioned only during the so called period of Khrushchev’s Thaw, that trickled into Poland.
Only in 1987, the matter of those missing received serious attention, when Stefan Myszczynski, who lost three brothers and his step-father during the roundup, discovered graves near the road connecting Rigol and Giby. Initially, it was suspected that they contained remains of those missing from July 1945. After their examination however, it was revealed that they contained remains of German soldiers who died during the war. Impulsively, the public opinion, began to be more interested in the fate of the victims of the July Roundup, and on August 2, 1987, Obywatelski Komitet Poszukiwan Mieszkancow Suwalszczyzny Zaginionych w Lipcu 1945 [eng. The Citizen’s Committee To Locate Missing Inhabitants of the Suwaki Area Who Perished in July 1945”], was formed.
Even though, the local government forbid the Committee to conduct its activity, they refused. Its founding members, Piotr Bajer, Mirosaw Basiewicz, Stanisaw Kowalczyk (from Suwaki), along with Alicja Maciejewska, Maria Chwalibog, and Jan Krzywosz (from Warsaw), with dedication gathered information about those perished. In 1992, all information they were able to obtain was delivered to the Public Attorney’s Office in Suwaki. However, the Public Attorney’s Office dismissed the case because of lack of the evidence, and its inability to probe through the classified post-soviet-era archives.
In 2001, case files reached the Institute of National Remembrance (pol. abbr. IPN). The investigation into the Augustów murders is presently conducted by the Institute of National Remembrance — Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. Despite the fact that some progress was made, however, neither the fate of those presumed dead, nor the identities of the perpetrators, or the location of graves, have been discovered. The resources available to the IPN prosecutor to solve this case within Poland itself, have been exhausted.
Number of requests sent to the present government of Russia, to help the investigators by providing information about operations of their units during the “July Roundup”, remain unanswered! Today, many families in Giby, and other communities affected by the murderous net of the 1945 roundup, still await the truth about the fate of their husbands, sisters, and brothers … For those perished still lament with Job, “O earth, do not conceal our blood, so our cries never cease ...”
