I had never seen this before but some of you may have. Enjoy! The writing below is not mine but someone else’s explaining.

Very interesting!

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.

Historical Footage: Japanese Surrender Signing Aboard Battleship Missouri - Sunday Sept. 2, 1945.

An important piece of history.

I have stood on the deck of The USS Missouri, no9w berthed at Ford Island and Open to the Public. One can stand at the place where the surrender was signed, and look over at The USS Arizona Memorial.

Talk about Goose Bumps!
