One other little known fact about the surrender...the japanese didn't speak english all that well, and the americans didn't speak japanese that well, so it was conducted in Austrian.
Good one!
I was just going to post that...need to keep reminding people the “gems” from this poseur of a prez. The media would do that job if it came from a conservative.
Apparently, he wasn’t there. It was signed on behalf of him.
