I like the article about the Japanese asking the Soviets for a peaceful agreement on the Manchurian frontier. Zhukov apparently had changed their minds.
I wish I had saved the rest of the article. Maybe it gave a hint as to what happened with Gen. Umazu’s predecessor as CiC of Japanese Forces in Manchukuo. Did he resign for personal reasons? Was he laid low by accident or illness? Had he been despondent of late? Maybe he had just completed the usual tour of duty and was rotated back to Japan for staff duty.
